will not buy a 4 by 4 because the tryes cost 19K each yet the one for a probox costs only 3K and he can interchange it with the neighbour. I Think Therefore I Am

Reference to the husband is usually kept at the periphery.
ahahahaha... so true... There is also the nto so new "upgrade" to the references to Wa njeri wa ken wa shiku etc....

This is a tradition where its disrespectful to call a kikuyu mother by her Name/Names(regardless if its her hubbys name) you are allowed to call her the mother of so and so (preferably the first born) '......to the acknowledgment of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ; 3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.' Colossians 2:2-3

A version involving his names and spouses will be fine as well; Muthokam Enterprises (Muthoni-Kamau), Jokabi Butchery (John-Nyokabi). add Maina wa maguru to the list. Maina of feet(tires) to direct translate Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

All Kikuyus named Kamau have another name to disambiguate: Kamau Mbeca, Kamau makanika, Kamau wa premio, Kamau wa ngūkū, Kamau waa Mwangi, Kamau wa thimū, Kamau camera, Kamau tall, Kamau bushírí . . . And some quite comical: Kamau njuírí, Kamau ngima, Kamau thufu, Kamau kígego, Kamau ngírí . . . A bad day fishing is better than a good day at work

Does not miss a graduation. Not because a relative or friend is graduating but to hawk those flashy 'flowers'- mostly rejects from the nearby flower farms, cards and 'picha sa hapo hapo'
