My great grandfather had 3 wives. I now know why it is easier for my cousins to marry 3 wives and live a very happy fulfilling life.

My mum's uncle was shipped by the British to fight WWII. he never returned and no word of what happened to him. He was my great grandmother only boy.

Are you trying to understand why you have many baby mamas.
We are family of many wives too...from my father side...but almost non-existent in my mother side.
I think it come with territory...we have vibaras..that a lot of testoreone.
All my mother side folks are sober - single women - kind of no makelele folks.
My father side is opposite...many women...makelele..hot headed..vichwa ngumus.

The only relative I know we lost to Mzungu
1) Well my great grandfather who I was named (we pick who we are named after randomly) died of depression from Mzungu selling his cows as fine for crossing Narok and giving him coins.
2) My great grandfather brother - was burnt in Naivasha due to smallpox - it was like COVID-19 but containtment - Mzungu came to your hut and set it on fire while you were inside. Painful way to die. The wife returned from Naivasha with ashes :)
My father relatives were mostly driving tractors - for Mzungu - in Naivasha, Nakuru and where Mzungu was.

All the polygamy is on my maternal side. On the my dad's side I am have inherited my grandfather's trouble some brother My grandfather always would say here comes my brother from Metumi. The guy that I resemble to a T was a rolling stone. He had wives everywhere. He died or was lost without a trace on his way to Rift Valley on border of kabete where he used to trade and had a wife. Also, i am a replica of my dad first cousin. He was county clerk in muranga in 1959. He emptied the coffers and told mzungu to go fuck himself. He bought big building in eastleigh and two busses. Became super rich. His bar was the busiest bar in eastleitgh from 1959 till his death in 1999. He was a loves maverick. Bar maids loved him and called him Muthee. He was a fixer and an astute businessman.

I amctracing my roots. Writing our family biographies before my parents checkout .I intend to write two books to bequeath our families

KQ flys direct to new york . Njamba does not live in Newyork. Meanin a connection flight is required. U.S. is so huge its a continent .
Biggest mistake KQ did was to settle on Newyork flight . Mpst africans dont live in Newyork and secondly American tourists who prefer touring Africa majority dont originate from Newyork.

They have Kenyatas 3 777 Aircrafts idling with Turkish Airlines.
As for the routes they can get data from immigration where most Kenyans and tourists originate from U.S. as for the other African countries this too they can get if the do due dilligence.

no I won't subject my parents to 13 hour flight or any other flight. they been done with flying for a long time. now is time just to wake up watch TV and meet their friends in the neighborhood. after 80 years there is no need to doing too much. with covid old people should be protected at all cost. I hope you are keeping your mum isolated. the new omicron variant b4 b5 is killing efficiently. becareful out there before you get disabled by it
