Dear father-in-Law, I won’t begin with the usual pleasantries, this letter contain serious business matters, so let’s forget about them. I know you are sipping a cup of #Qarer at the moment,,,,,,,,, u know your daughter isn’t a stone, right? So she got emotions, i’m human to so we can fall in love. I know you need to see ur grandchildren playing in that lonely compound where the #Shangarawe is just for hosting your guests. I don’t know how I’m supposed to introduce myself .Let’s just say I’m the guy who will be marrying ur daughter. I mean marrying not buying because I know the so called village elders will start their dowry accountancy . They are so experienced in marriage accounts for they will ask me to apply for the tender to marry ur beautiful daughter . Will there be a receipt after the #Mahar(dowry) payment written “good ones sold never returned” They will sit down nd calculate all the money that they hve used to educate her, now show me a lady that ain’t educated in the 21 century? They will ask me to come and meet the elders, they call it marriage negotiation. I know ,they want us to bargain abt the dowry price, u better ask the business people especially around” #Orahey_ground or around #Soko_mjinga I don’t negotiate for more than two minutes. I want to marry your daughter ,not buy her ,but either way I will have her .Better be warned if u sell her to me I will just do what I did when I bought my favorite shirt. It was expensive but I loved it.The seller insisted on his price, so I bought it, promising the seller that I would be back, it’s now 6 years and he calls me to ask, “Don’t you wear clothes anymore?, u never came back.” Now, if that fails I know you will offer me a hire purchase option where I pay in installment.I s it a bank loan that I have to pay with interest or a marriage ? I hope you will deduct the cost of sugar, cooking flour,bananas,Loqolef, geley maharagwe and sweet potatoes I will carry during this visit, this are rare things to find in Wajir with the poor rains and escalating cost of mini-supermarket items like that of #Basabra There will also be that aunt your daughter told me about, she has never seen her but she is the loudest in marriage issues. I hope u will handle her befre I get there u can request #Halima_shubey to offer u some advice.,,,, The women in the village will try to gv me a warm welcome nd ask for a fee to open the gate “I’m not coming to a #Mukushubaa(or a cub)where I will have to pay entrance fee or a dowry concert .Such kind of behavior will result to my disappearance and I will appear somewea else The elders will also demand for,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••niendeleee ama nisiendeleeeee???
