An open letter to my co husband

An open letter to my co husband.

Congratulations on your self appointed part time duty. I hope you do enjoy the daytime shift despite the heat and sweat that comes with it.

I want to thank you for helping me maintain balanced horizontal  diet on my menu. Life is not easy nowadays. Thanks for ploughing during the dry season and leaving me with planting to do. Isn't life all about sharing?

Thanks again and again for making her go away from me albeit intermittently in the name of "going to visit her parents",for the times she's away 'visiting' leaving me alone are my best times. I can watch football freely without having to contend with many rhetorical questions.I can play football too!

It's a pity that at such times you are normally very busy building the nation. Build it without giving up. When she's away I'm always indoors by 6pm washing, cooking, ironing etc so that when she comes back she finds things in order and I escape her nagging and fights,she embraces  me with a big heart and open arms and legs,that is if the legs are still intact! Isn't life sweet!

Gentleman, we always meet and I know you, we are the best of friends. Feel free to ask for advice on how to handle her mkesho and bonga point, how to manage her temper flares and how to make her forget me completely and come to you fully with our seven kids, domestic officer, our dog Jubinasa and our cat Nasajubi! What are friends for?

Thanks for helping me fix her hair, I mean all her hairs including mohair,her nails, her snails and her skin! Yes, the thick skin. Kindly try and fix her brain too. Fix her temper and never let her go near a knife when angry Tame her attitude as well and don't miss church if you want peace. Avoid alcohol and make sure by 5pm you are in the house and silent. Speak only when spoken to and never listen to any kind of music apart from gospel.

Let me show you where her G spot is, the geolocation of her Black spot and all her spots! Co husband you will enjoy  this work for real. Watch out when she fumes like a puff udder she may spit in your eyes and leave you blind! Are you ready for tongue lashing the whole night? Mothers union attire and  letter four in bed when things turn topsy turvy? Then go ahead. Take the whole package, for free!

Yours in horizontal  solidarity

Wagogni

#Wagogni Among the Acholi, a lady who is already married is referred to as "migogo"(singular),plural "wagogni" Now, Migogo  is a very important establishment, if not institution. The state of being married or "kend",say "keny".is highly revered.Migogo is also referred to as "ogwang" I must add that a stray/wild cat also goes by this name. See! It is believed that an in unmarried nubile lady brings bad omen to those dwelling in the compound. As such, when such a lady changes geography, Amadioha forbid, they are buried at the far end of the fence from outside. It is believed that they prevent those little girls not yet married from being married and getting children. (some beliefs though!) Now, a migogo is respected as well. Especially when "or" as son in-law is referred to as forms the key interplay. That's to say if she is married! I still don't understand this obsession with marriage. Isn't one free to dec...

Fools paradise

#Fools_paradise I am yet to meet a sleeping beauty like my Geography teacher.She had a rare 'ambience',a distinct perfume,clean to no default and with admirable mien,it is a pity she wasn't my class teacher(another day,another story about my classteacher.)-despite all these,my teacher of English remained a favourite to all boys(May he RIP). Now,a 'new' teacher was 'posted' to our school-I can't even remember her name-what I am sure of is that she was barely 24 years!(stop having ideas,see!) Keen to outdo our Geography teacher,she overdid it!(I will spare you the details).Naturally,as boys will be boys,a few of us(count me out-I was the tiniest in class after Kaloki Ndeti),used to tease her!And how we relished in the dramatic irony! Now,those days the captain used to handle all the letters after teachers had picked theirs.One Monday morning he gets a post card titled 'Fools Paradise' addressed to this new teacher by her boyfriend with whom...

Vigil

#Vigil In my village, just like in many African villages, when one changes geography, there's usually what we call "arita" night vigil. It's a period where the people keep the dead company the whole night before they are "swallowed by the earth" the following day. Several activities accompany this nocturnal ceremony and tradition, deeply embedded in most cultures. The preparations are made in advance. One thing that you won't find missing is a bonfire where "jodongo"(Old men), clad in their "kabut"(a blanket of a jacket), warm themselves. They spend time reminiscing about the good deeds of the late. One would be heard saying "An Nick ne miya ga  pesa machwako nyoyo, diere moko ne wadhi sero kode Seme Konywera kocha, gima ne waneno bor korie"(Nick used to give me money that can boil 'githeri', at one time we went on a seduction spree in Seme Kolunje, what we saw is long when straightened 😂 😂 😂) Granted, mos...
