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

Where is Vuyu, So and So?

Lung'afa: Greetings Family. 

Where did @⁨Mudengani Kisia⁩ and @⁨Martin Kidiavai⁩ go to? They were the first to say Hoooray to Saniaga group. Walianza na roho. Ikawaje tena? 

@⁨Joash Safcom⁩ and @⁨Govedi Muzami⁩  who always wanted a strong team of Saniaga. To have us do bigger things. Does the silence mean you are planning better things in the background? 

For when @⁨Victoria Ndanyi⁩ and @⁨Metrine Livole⁩ came in powerfully, questioning everything that they may find us worth the course, later took to the background. Did we not attract your attention? 

Many came and left. Many started audibly and grew silent. Many are good without. Yet we need them here. For @⁨Evans Muhali⁩, @⁨Abel Analo⁩, @⁨Aggrey Kidimu⁩, @⁨Ayumba⁩ are not yet well into the group but a few lookings here and there.  

Admirably, our seniors @⁨Baba Ndanyi⁩ , @⁨Dr Sidika⁩ , @⁨Jackson Kafuna⁩ , @⁨Baba Kereda⁩, @⁨Jane Bwonya⁩ @⁨Luvai⁩ , are right at the core. They only need us to spark and support. So far so very good. We are headed in the right. 

Yet we need @⁨Neccy Flossy⁩, @⁨Vincent Iramuka⁩, @⁨Gracey Saniaga⁩, @⁨Hildah Adulu⁩, @⁨Aluda Saniaga⁩, @⁨Cecilia Akivaga⁩ to show us what they got. What they dream of. What they have of the saniaga dream. That it does not be just an arena for talk. 

Not all have been mentioned. Most of us fit there above and as we come closer, we shall know what resources we need sum up to excel. 

For Saniaga has so many resources. A friend of mine confessed that. If we can harness that then it will only take a short time before we reap the results. And I believed him. 

Be happy in all you do. Personally I appreciate you all. You encourage me!

Luvai: Thank you for encouraging all of us . Stay well and blessed.

Mudengani Kisia: 😊 ndaza kukorora mgamba @⁨Lung'afa⁩ Komorome ku mang'ana yaga. Ovee Yengo?
