Cant stop smiling as I
write this content ,I work in an office whereby
we are only two ladies and several men
hope my boss will bring more
ladies because this isn't fair there is
no gender equality hehehe may be yes may be no I like the fact that we are only
two ladies in the entire office.
Last week on Friday my boss whom we call “ Shosh ”wasn't around
and being the fact that it was a Friday afternoon we heard a small talk just to
break the boredom and maybe to pass time as we eagerly waited for weekend. One of the gentlemen whom we
call “ Omwami” this is his nickname this guy he is always mindful about other
people’s affair and always seeking
attention he started a topic which amaze
me every time.
Omwami stated Nairobi ladies are not good enough to be wife material for
me when time came for me to get married I will go for
village girl ” Mshamba”. The entire office busted into laughter of course he
now got the attention he was
seeking.
My co-worker who is a
lady answered Omwami “ hehhehehe eti u
said you will marry a village girl you yourself u look look like
that mshamba ( village man) and
yet you want to marry one your just for a shock”.
This moment I could’t control my tears of laughter my ribs were cracking and couln’t take it any more I asked
Omwami why do u want to marry a village
girl? (nodding his head) He told me listen my sister you see when you marry a village girl there so
many benefits Village girls are simple,lovable,sincere,less demanding,you can
mold them in frame which you like.Mmmmh I asked , so Omwami you want to marry a village girl out of love or so that you can manipulate
her?
Omwami at this time he was trying to give me a
comparison of the two girls you see , City girl will demand her space
whereas village girl will be happy in household work and kids......however,
village girl is a good option if she belongs to your native place..
Other colleagues who were
quite all this time got an opportunity to give their view in Omwami’s topic.
One of the gent told Omwami you see no problem any of
the girls We cannot say that a village girl and a city
girl are totally contrary to each other.
We are of a view that city girls are modern.
They are well acquainted with the changing world. After marriage they adjust
easily with their life and stands on equal ground with their husbands sharing
their problems. But village girls are uneducated and underdeveloped and at the
same time very shy. They cannot easily adjust to a city but it is not the case every time.
Some city girls are also shy and village girls are also smart.
Now-a-days education and various development schemes are spread in the whole
country.Of course marrying with a village girl is good.They are mostly spiritual.
Getting love and support of their husband and his family, they slowly adjust to
a city.There is no answer for the comparison who is good.It depends on her
nature and your fate.
All this time am Just amazed with two gentlemen and their way of reasoning ,one of the gent told
us you see I have married a city girl
whom we love each other so much and we help each other with house chores if I get home before her I prepare supper and on weekends she clean clothes as I
prepare lunch to his shock Omwami stood
up and said look you young man you mean
you help your wife with house chore?.
The gentlemen continues…. that the exact Problem that I don’t
want when am married Eti sharing responsibilities kwanza that
one of house chore over my dead body u could tell that Omwami was really agitated with this
city lady. Village girls are very obedient they will never tell you to help
in house chores , easily awed, not exposed to the worldly things {so to speak},
most likely a virgin and very gullible.
So this are the reason why Omwami would go for a village
girl you could see smile in everyone’s face.
As for me Both ladies have merits and demerits So best is to ask your mind & revise your
plan for life. How you want your life after marriage. Only thing she must be your
type and understanding with you that make u feel comfortable and happy every
times.
