Fellow men have been on a roll, complaining how city girls are spoilt
and how they would never want to marry them. City girls are not wifey
material, they say. Hmmm….. if you want a good wife, take one from the
village, they say. It’s true that town girls are too sly and too
difficult to deal with but come on. Is the rural girl solution viable?
No. I;m not trying to be discriminatory against village girls but they
aren’t as good as most men think. Endless woes will accompany you when
you marry a one and here are some of them.
She will be the devil on heels once she ‘chanukas’
The Swahili said it, “Mjinga akierevuka, mwerevu yu mashakani”. A
village girl might appear all naïve and humble but once her principles
get infiltrated by the unholy doctrines of town chics, she’ll become
worse than them. She’ll be drinking like an old boring Scottish
boozehound and partying like a fresher. She will literally grow ‘pembes’
and at last you’ll have to send her back to her parents.
All your secrets will be known (moshene)
Village girls love moshene. In rural areas, you can’t do anything
without the whole community knowing about it. It’s tough. The village
girl will broadcasting all your internal affairs like she’s TBC Idhaa Ya
Taifa. All the mboches in the estate will know how many inches your
cock is and how long you last. You surely don’t want that don’t you?
You’ll have to make most of the decisions on your own
A village girl isn’t familiar with the world of urban hustles. She
doesn’t know about mortgages, shares, design, elegance or
professionalism. As a result, you’ll have to make most decisions on your
own and trust me, you’ll end up making the wrong ones most of the time.
In a successful marriage, both parties should be involved in decision
making and you’ll be deprived of that.
You’ll have trouble showing her off
Let’s be real. Most men love showing off their women. When you marry a
girl from ocha it’ll be hard for you to do that. A village girl not
only has poor fashion sense but also poor articulation. If you are a
respectable man who’s high up in the social ladder, you’ll be forced to
refrain from showing off your wife who can’t even speak fluent English.
It’ll be hard to parade her in dinners and gals with her lesos and long
skirts at the same time your friends are parading their wazungu wives or
classy fiancés.
