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. To her, as days go and the old man and woman of the estate are dependents, she becomes increasingly present.  Her brothers also need her for almost all traditional markings. They are marrying, she needs to welcome the new wife. They are giving birth, she needs to come to midwife or “bless” the new born. They are paying dowry she needs to lead the women delegate. There is a conflict she needs to come for a hearing.  And many others. Traditions does not expect her to

Let us maintain decorum, Hikers!

Lung'afa: Hello pals, if a member breaks conduct we but take it easy... Decorum is key guys.

We always meet on Sundays at the library from 2pm. You welcome

Geof Enonda: Am sorry I dont want to talk here,i will be removed again. There are around 10 special people here of class who don't subscribe to what 100 people talk in here. Be cautious when you talk less you be removed. This group has 2 classes of people the valued who are dull and inactive and the valueless who talk too much of nonsense.

Geof Enonda: Saizi sasa ndo ule wakati wa kuongea. Kama mtu anajihisi ako special i think WhatsApp has room for a new group of special people of class and titles where they will be talking maturely,tutakua tunakutana nao wakati wa actibities. We bore no allegiance to anyone and we are just as mindful as anyone else on our decorum.

Geof Enonda: There is no despicable thing like trying to make unequals equal. We all posses different personalities and temperaments. You cant sideline me for being sanguine to pave way for a choleric. If if a post does not conform to the values of the group,hit someone's inbox and deliberate on etiquette and decorum,if it fails seek public opinion then take action.

Lung'afa: Enonda anaeza andika two more chapters to the book of Job. Now we focuse.

- Minding Saturday 20th!

Geof Enonda: We have been able to come to a consensus. From now no one is special,we are all jokers as well as serious.

Matayo Mwenessi: Hello everyone. Please don't spoil Vihiga Hikers for me. It's the only group in Vihiga where I feel comfortable. But if we go this way people may start leaving. Let us also respect the founders of this group because they have done a good job bringing people together and organizing activities. No one is here by right and the arrogance from some new members is disgusting. I think the admins have been kind to tolerate a lot of nonsense.
The hike this weekend has been organized to give people a chance to blow off some steam. Please join in and become relevant.
And don't make Kevo feel unwelcome in his own group.

-: Kuna jamaa akupigwa "removed' na anaitwa victor ozil...Amekuja kulilia inbox yangu nimrudishe but me si admin....Admin add that guy

-‬: Majority wanaleft wenyewe

Matayo Mwenessi: Eh, Admin ameamua 😳
Fanya fujo muone.

I'm in support because hikers is not a public whatsapp chat group. Some characters who have dominated proceedings over the past few days have no intention of hiking. But you wake up to over 100 posts of irrelevant content...

Lakini admin imetosha bwana.

Lung'afa: I appreciate the work Enonda is doing on our Facebook page. Have you guys invited friends to share and spread our swag?

- All good will be rewarded. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Geof Enonda: Any form of dictatorship that proceeds by denying people the freedom of speech where no markable boundary has been set to exclude good from bad i don't conform to it. Maturity is marked by your diplomatic ability to address matters in manner that respects others right. No one bears an obligation to be in here,neither do we have anyone setting an investment or source of income by being in here. This people equally have the power to leave this group and form a new one which other than moderation of decorum and etiquette their rights are fully observed and not infringed in anyway thereof. If you want to set any form of moderation then i urge you to put clear rules and regulations that will govern this group. And on that note,if the group belongs to you as an individual and not the entire membership of Vihiga hikers then I and other member who stand by my terms will leave and form our group. We can only meet during events. Power is vested in the people.
