Socio_gender outlook

Folks this Tuesday let's delve and dwell into the murky waters of this often cheaply peddled mantra that :

"All men are the same."

Well, literally it could be meaningless!For once not all men are the same,while some are short, some are tall, while others are chubby others are too petite and beautiful for a man!Yet some are poor in wealth while others are rich in poverty!The bottom line being that it depends on what you choose to look at not necessarily what you look at!

Granted, most of the world's problems start with the word MEN, viz:
Mental torture
Meningitis
Menopause
Mental depression
Menstruation
Manchester! (Ahem!)
Etc.

I've also heard that men are animals, they act like angels, behave like monkeys and live like beasts.Still they are men!Men I'm reliably informed are egocentric, selfish and macho. Well they can't help it at times, thanks to testosterone!A man's ego must be assuaged and massaged, but by who?His wife, when his wife fails to do this, I hear they have stand by generators for man is an engine that must constantly be kept in motion lest comes to an abrupt halt.

What then is the role of a wife in the life of a man? Some crazy school of thought (secret) came up with these as pertains WIFE, viz

-Worries Invited For Ever
-Wonderful Instruments For Entertainment
-Washing Ironing Frying Etc

It all depends on what you want to see, not what is there or what you should see, it's like calling a hawk chicken just because you want to eat it,see!

The question remains unanswered:Are all men the same? The answer to this question depends on your experience, past present and future combined.Many women argue vehemently so, that all men are the same, I quite don't know their inferential pentameter in relation to this unfortunate assertion.At what point did they sit down to come up with this imbroglio.Was it in Beijing, Warsaw or Ndebele land? No one knows.

In what aspects are men the same?At no time have I heard men say that all women are the same(how can they even think of this?) Could it be that now that all women are different it therefore follows that all men are the same? We are in a catch 22!

To further highlight on this issue, if one baboon ran with your bananas while on a tour of Lake Nakuru does it follow that a caged and chained one can still do the same?What is this "beef"(I seldom use this word) that women have with men being the same? If all men are the same why don't you ladies exchange and interchange husbands, boyfriends,sponsors and baes(if such a word exists), at will? Why, pray do you not do that?Cursorily, I know you will tell me"Because they are all the same."(this is what I call mental degradation.)Even all buses are not the same,, others have air-con, wifi, etc others are "ka ngumu Kama Gumo"Punda afe mzigo ufike.

It's high time women come out of their cocoon and realise that we are all unique in our own ways! If twins can't be the same one hundred percent, what of men?

Giving experiential outlook, what's your take on this?

Keep it real folks.

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...
