This day I was traveling to Nairobi and my grandpa had something to share with me.
"When I was a young vibrant and energetic young man as you're, that's the time I built my first hut,in the early 1960s.l was preparing to marry,I wonder if you gentlemen of today marry willingly or under pressure.Look at your youngest uncle he's clocking 30 next year, neither married nor planning to."

Grandson,we used to work our ass out.Some of us inherited neither cow nor soil,I pity men of today.
Ladies are not excepted as well,they are as lazy as you men are, I'm not one sided.No man in my time who bought cups,tables or chairs for the house.When a gentleman select a lady to marry,she sacrifices her ...
