Heavy responsibilities for elder aunt among the Logooli

I will offer an office desk, don't sulk !

Govedi Muzami: lungafa kindly do a wish list on  the library needs and post them here. You will be overwhelmed with the response by the end of the day. Do not dare us bwana

Lung'afa: I am sulking big bro. 

You know when a child asks and asks and asks and the responses aren't satisfying?  

He develops an exterior hard coat. Atanga kung'ung'una. 

I have shared the needs before and I will also share today. 

Thanks.

Govedi Muzami: Go ahead and stop sulking.....you should know by now that we are difficult to handle 😇.....just mention what is needed.

Lung'afa: Maybe at the end of the year I write a paper on my experiences and submit to Ayiro for an honorary degree?  

Jeska sidika Wambani: Eeeeeh!! Eeeeeeh. Be kind to the young man and stop the intimidation. It adds no value to our life. Sidika

 Lung'afa: Dr,  it's part of Imbaka.  No problem. Reka vanene vakonore Vang'erere vigumba

Govedi Muzami: Let him give us a wish list. We have stuff at home or office that we don't use and can give away for this purpose .... really is that intimidation Doc??? 🤔

Govedi Muzami: This is a very careless and selfish statement Sidika. You should have stated that it 'adds no value to your life's and not 'our'

Govedi Muzami: That's not a sufficient answer.  No one should be intimidated in this group.  This is family with a certificate or not just respect people's opinion and especially family🙂

Govedi Muzami: Everybody is special to me here and I will respect them regardless.

Baba Ndanyi: @⁨Lung'afa⁩ 
😭😭😭 waaa, waaa, Patty that is what it takes to grow an intelligent and stubborn group like the Saniaga family, by the time you will call it a success, you would have won several accolades including several degrees, don't give up young man!

Lung'afa: Awesome family.  L'lara kihambaa kihambiza kari gazil'la.  

Kunyi vang'el'le kivishi kuninaa kumisara.
