Chahilu’s Funeral; Logooli Culture in action

Guuga Chahilu was respectfully laid to rest at his home on Saturday 14th June 2025.

As we approach the AGM

Family, thanks for birthday wishes.

As we all know, the AGM will start 9am on Saturday. I texted individuals and some confirmed attendance.

It should be noted that the lack of time does not exempt one  from committing to the contributions. Simply because what shall be discussed is for the greater Good of us all. And also people will need updates. That is why contribution is not an option.

If you are not sure 'how to come' it will be alright to say 'you can be escorted'. Get hold of  a son/daughter and come along. Get hold of your father or grandfather and come along. You shall have done something rememberable.

For those who haven't yet confirmed through payment, you will do so on Saturday.

May God bless us as we purpose to attend.

PS; - Youths in the house, we having a hike to the hills on 29th, tomorrow. Wanna join?

PSS; - See you all on Saturday.
