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.

Now, now, now!

-‬: Bottom line we live in a free world and society  devoid of oppressiveness especially on freedom of expression..

- do what suits  you your carrier but when you are in a group don't try impose your beliefs about life on others ...every under the sun by man is debatable and can be challenged Thanks for you personal opinion though

Neccy Flossy: All those words, like darling, baby, sweetie are in a foreign culture and language, the preacher is imitating by speaking it (language) but none are in the African dictionary so (culture inagongana hapa) now choose for self. 

To be treated as the King, first the king should provide what he expect to be cooked and be served eventually by the wife. The big plate said,  he must provide, the many foods he expects he must provide however, the pastor does not expect anything so he accepts whatever is brought forward, he just accepts and even prays for more to arrive not how huge the plate is but how pure is the heart it is given because pastor is known to have nothing, so the struggle is shared. 

The so called King dominates, arrives home with nothing, expecting who to have provided for him? Men be responsible and count how many chickens are hatched daily before leaving the compound don't assume they hatched two weeks ago. 

Then instruct wife to slaughter a chicken, and that is your expectation. Anything else will have been provided by the pastor if not someone else while you desire to wallow in Kingship. Take head, men, provide.
