Let’s learn from Ingwe men and swap wives instead of cheating

Something happened the other day, as I thought I came up something that might seem unfamiliar to many. Two men in western, Ingwe, land of strong men decided to swap wives. Lately, the land of omwamis had a share of good news. First, it was Wafula and the Indian girl that made the famous Jamaican singer record a song featuring our brothers from western in search of Wafula. Unlucky for our brother, the relationship barely lasted a year thanks to the social and difference life standard. The girl was ready to love but as it is said {mkono mtupu haulambwi}, an empty hand cannot feed, was enough to send our sister from another race out of Ingwe land. For our own James bond, we have new games application on our smartphones and jobs created.

Back to our men, it was amazing to see how the watchman and bodaboda rider agreed to swap wives and the local authority was involved. The village chief acted wisely and spared us a story of bloodshed; this might make women go crazy but might sound as a warning to those who accept to be lured to bed by greedy men for sex. There are many reasons that make a man not perform, the most common is stress that can be cured by a wise woman. Read the story of Esther in the bible, she was the most favored queen by the king but her approach was wise. I don't want to judge but I think no modern woman could have done that considering the fact that she could have ordered the king to kill Harman and he couldn't have hesitated, rather she chose the long but winning way that eventually made her more powerful and respected giving glory and victory to Israelites.
