The struggle with many a rigid Logooli cultural practices

  The Logooli community is one of the deeply cultured societies – with near everything supposed to have been done as per custom – to allow another custom to follow. One example is that for a mature man (with a child or more) to be buried, there must be a house structure at home. Another is that a boy must be circumcised and nursed in father land. If maternal family decides to, the boy will have a hard time reconnecting with father people - a dent on his masculinity. There were two children who got burnt to death in a house in Nairobi. The single mother had left for night work. Elders were told that one of the children was Logooli. The other, the woman had sired with someone else. The Logooli family wanted to burry their little one and long discussed the do’s and don’ts. Of a man who died childless and the grave was placed as if he had died as a man with children.

We are sensitive. Just pursue what you hold dear.

Why aren't we sensitive to the social aspect and even just say a kind word "we feel sorry for your loss of a parent?" Rowley, sorry for the loss of your father and we console with you. May God almighty grant unto him Eternal Rest. Sidika

-: @Jackson Kafuna , a structure exists. I will give you a call.

@+254 72..., groups are dynamic. Just move with what you take as important.

- Everything we say is authentic save the videos and texts that are sometimes shared.

-: We did not have it at AGM. Because people who were to push it did not attend. So we shall work with what was said till the next AGM

-‬: Thank you for your comments. Who is the chairperson of this group? If we have one, could we give her/him permission to act on behalf of the group in social matters like we have now. The Chairperson can then give directions on group dynamics. Sidika

-: Dynamics are not vested. They are products of continuum interaction. Here we are, who behaves badly how? And such.
- We can't control some things.
