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. It should have been dug on the sides, the grave. A real thorn should have been thrust in his buttocks, his name go...

A fake HIKERS' T-SHIRT spotted in Mbale.

Lung'afa: Today I bumped into a printer's base in Mbale and I saw a FAKE hikers T-shirt. Advice on what step to take?

-Marion Ambani: Waaatt and the way our material is heavy cotton

-‬: Just take it as free publicity

-: It can't be taken as free publicity when the printer will mint money out of it, the money that could have come to the group.

-: Take the fellow to court then if its an option

-‬: On which count?

-Nyash: People stealing our ideas. Ask them on how they came up with that, guess its one of us doing that behind close doors.

-Becky Amulele: Why you even blaming the printer??? He only printed a shirt alipelekewa by someone and the person alipeleka the logo pia...the printer has no offence here 🤥

-Becky Amulele: Its not like he's doing a business lol.
He was looked for not the other way round✌🏼

-: Yes, he just followed instructions

-‬: Just advise members on where to find the genuine branded t-shirts and let's adhere to it, Will soon order mine from our source

Matayo Mwenessi: My view.
If there's any money being made it's kidogo sana.

Matayo Mwenessi: How is the other Vihiga hikers group doing

Matayo Mwenessi: Maybe it's someone from that group printing t-shirts 😆

Lung'afa: I value your ideas. I will slowly get the guys who did it and get an apology letter from them failure to which they will record a statement with the authority.

And we welcome creative ideas. If you can do quality stuff please connect with us. We can nicely agree on percentages.

As for now let us keep focussed. Once we grow we all gonna get benefits that come with hiking.

The T-shirt guys MUST attend Kaimosi Forest Hiking wajue uzuri wa hiking after the apology.

- With Thanks

Becky Amulele: Is it the printer you have issues with or is it the people who printed the shirts from the printer you have issues with 🤔🤔🤔
Just asking

Lung'afa: Becky, go inbox. Both are fraudsters. Ignorance is no defence.

Geof Enonda: Now,if I may ask,what differentiates the original from the fake.

-Matayo Mwenessi: Ngoda blocked me on Facebook. He's a conman. Maybe he's even the culprit.

Though I must say all that energy over a t-shirt... Anyway, go get em tiger.

-‬: Am 100% sure is not the same person doing our shirts who did the 'fake' one... He would do it the same way... Hiyo lazima iliprintiwa else where coz the one of ng our shirts has the original work n he would just run one or two items for quick money.... 2. If the work has not been  copyrighted then its hard to prove n claim it's originality in court...

Lung'afa: Wengine wanaimba nyimbo za mapenzi. Isorait ...

@Matayo Mwenessi  I didn't know my father is a conman. By extension I call Ngoda father. He's Saniaga. Maybe you inboxed the conflict you guys had? And as you know our culture doesn't allow a young man to 'declare himself right' before the father.

@Geof Enonda , how to tell? If you have a T-shirt and you did not take it from Kelvin or me it is obvious you putting on a con one. Two, our inches are specific that we would identity fake work even by the type of printing. I would wish we avoid burglary rather than us trying to prove how authentic our t-shirts are.

Well, I have been reached by the said culprits. Wanasema 'pole'. Hehe. Mimi langu ni kwamba wafike Hike Sato.

Let's pull together.
