This is where i say "Ihii ititumaguo uthoni" ....Simply said,the "uncircumspected" are not to be sent to dowry negotiations....Literally... and i do not mean any offence or disrespect pliz!......First,Gachie is almost in the middle of Nairobi.Why pray would you want to take goats to your in-laws who live in the city?Here,common sense should have prevailed.Second,the Agikuyu dowry laws allow for part payment and the rest can be done in instalments,thus 10 goats would have sufficed and the remaining 30 paid over a life time.Third and most important,estimates for goats given here are for those sourced from Kia-Maiko.....The Agikuyu (And i know it also happens to many other communities) have a different benchmark for pricing of "animals of blood" (Indo cia thakame).........At current a goat wouldn't be more than Kshs 1500.

And so it's easy.Kshs 60,000.00 was probably the asking price and an initial 15K would have been good enough......You blew it for your friend .

You guys don't know Bukunyes well then
I have lived among them and calling one a 'Kihii' is an insult of the highest degree.
The groom party didn't consist of 'ihiis'
They are fully grown ndurumes

You took it literally.....In this statement,the word "cicunspect" is in inverted comas with a good reason.....Indeed to be reffered to a 'kihii" does not mean you are uncircumsised.....My grown up sons are my 'Ihiis'....and so am i to my dad....That's a lesson for another day.

On the honey part,this has long been replaced by sugar.....and since i find you to be a "good" bargainer,can my son have your daughter pliiiiiZ??

@essyk, some "kihii's" took a beehive to inlaws with bees and honey, they did not understand. Imagine the commotion. Consultation nimuhimu sana.

My grown up sons are my 'Ihiis'....and so am i to my dad..
