Swahili dater searching for a lady
Very many places one can get someone to marry from,several tribes from which to get a lady,so I decided to search for a lady from tribe located at the western end of the country called Kenya.
These people are called the Bukusu,a subtribe of the main Luhya tribe.Their ladies are nice and i was so taken up i decided to chase after one for a serious relationship.
The hitch one finds is when it all comes to marriage.There are just too many things one has to offer the girls family on demand.This usually depends on the girl's level of education as well.
One has to give out a standard amount of thirteen heifers of which each goes for about 10,000 Kshs ($125),around 20,000Kshs for the lady's mother as a gift for toiling with her.
The girl in question had reached university level,so for that one has to pay something like 100,000 Kshs ($1250) for that reason.
All this on top of other gifts like kilos of sugar,salt,cooking oil,garments....would bring my bill to about 500,000 Kshs ($6250).
If one is to be able to pay all this at once and he does so,he'll be considered evil.
All these combinations made me give up my pursuit and look to another end.
