Heavy responsibilities for elder aunt among the Logooli

With Seenge Fonesi. She is the elder grand daughter of Isagi and elder daughter of Amugasya. She is often present in functions involving the family of Amugasya. Pic taken on 18/4/2024. The elder sister soon becomes the elder aunt. It is this “seenge munene” (elder aunt) tag that she is tied to many cultural responsibilities – back home. To her marital family she may appear as any other woman, but she is not so in the eyes of her people. Marriage does not steal her away as it would happen with other daughters of the old man.

Somebody stealing our 'words'?

-: Morning Saniaga. Am sending shortly a Botswana Court Case which ties very well with Saniaga families and a Maragoli Homestead especially when our dear parents have all RIPd. The case of Mmusi and the Exclusion of Women from Inheritance. Let us read it with sober minds. Also We NEED ASSURANCE THAT SOMEONE IS NOT HELL BENT on this forum n blog TO COLLECT AND TO USE such CONTRIBUTIONS ON THIS 'SANIAGA' TO WRITE BOOKS FOR HIs own gains. It is a question that is not being answered effectively. But I want to put it out there that such doubts need cleared from the word go or on set.  We have been there and I know what am talking about for the many silent majority. Many have lots to share but ... Lung'afa sema kindu... John Ndanyi vipi and you what about you on this blog .... just here to collect separately for future?

-: If some one collects running water and makes use of it to farm.  Is it a crime to collect this water? I dont see any crime. All of us here are proffessionals in different fields, so use your field positively. These are my thoughts. How does one benefit from hoarding knowledge? Just asking............

-: Because the forum is original, any good writer can use it to gather the best of information. And remember a writer is such a schemer seeing what few can see, hearing what few can hear, doing what few can do...

Our blog is the best in the world, why lie? Soon Google shall be paying the admin. It should be so once Ads are allowed.

To make writers here stand their ground, we shall be doing a SANIAGA NEWSPAPER alongside the blog starting 2018, an idea that the chair is  pushing, writers here shall own the course more.

It is a call for everyone to speak, say much, give writers info!

-: Hii ni Kenya my fren, where such things happen. I've severally pitched my programs at different media stations In vein n later I come to see my ideas being aired as their program they only twist the headlines but same content!
