Julius Henry ‘Groucho’ Marx once opined that a man does not control his fate. The women in his life do that for him. Suffice it to say that in choosing a life-time companion, a man should never allow his mind to be under ‘head arrest.’ Forget the suburban or upcountry-bred ladies; environment greatly influences personality, which lends credence to the assumption that ladies brought up in Eastlands would make good wives.
A woman born and raised in Eastlands grows up knowing that there is no app for downloading money. She probably saw her father walk from Kayole to Industrial Area as a labourer and her mother washing clothes for others in the hood just to put food on the table. Now, that is a lady who can eat meat when the month is good and comfortably settle for ‘USA’ (Ugali, Sukuma and Avocado) when things are tight without throwing tantrums, unlike town chicks who would make you drain your account or take a loan just because they are craving for Brazilian steak.
