Sustenance is ok. But there is one who called demanding for a loan to start a business. She was bitter that whereas I have assisted other younger relas through school, I have never "helped" her. This is a married woman aged 37 who feels entitled to a loan from me.

If you do have, give out but don't squeeze yourself to give out.

some will find me repairing a fence or the outside toilet, sit next to me telling me about his problems he can't even think of kujipa kazi helping me, so what I now do is give the some manual work that needs to be done like clearing the drive way to the house from the road, or prunning the trees and arranging the branches to dry for firewood, only then can i give money based on the current daily wage yani ki-siku

You guys are mean. You happily spend thousands buying single malt whiskys to strangers at pubs but find it hard to give your relatives some petty cash. Someone has even confessed demanding back the 1k he gave his uncle. Isn't this asking for a curse?

True, I agree with you. Kwanza some strange random women are bought for booze and food, paid for uber plus given 2+++ thaos za kujishigilia nayo mpaka next time.

This is a simple cost benefit analysis. An uncle doesn't have an airport yet the strange women have airport.

I have an uncle who would call every time with one story or the other. He would always ask for small amounts that in most cases you would not mind giving out but it became too much.

One day asked for 600, I gave him a 1000 as a soft loan which he gladly took promising to pay back. On the day he had promised to pay I called him and of cause he give me another date, this continued untill he started ignoring my calls. And with that my problem was solved.


This works miraculously. Applied it to a nagging friend, they have never called again to ask for money.

Remove the word "married". It does not matter marital status. If she is in need and you can afford, then assist. Who else do you want the relas to look up to. You know them better.

This works for me as well for those relas who lie about "to repay" when they don't really plan to. Because after a while they forget and call promising to repay back... I just give what I can afford to lose.

Bad manners demanding for small money one cannot afford to lose. Leave it to them. Let it be charity or sadaqa/sadaka.

This is my trick too. When they come knocking in the morning, I ask them if they can repair that fence, or fetch water from that broken down well, or cut the edge, or wash the machines etc etc... when they give an excuse, I tell them I need to use the money to pay someone for that work.

It does matter because the husband should be the first person to go to. Men should not get married if they can't take care of the needs of their wives.

Lady A earns 100 daily is married to man B who earn 100 daily. Both their daily income is 100+100=200, which is enough for their daily living. There is another unmarried lady C who earns 100 daily, which is enough for daily living. Now assume lady A and lady C wants to improve their life by starting a business but both don't have extra money to save. They both come to you to support them with capital for the venture.

From your thinking, the married lady A does not deserve your help, but the unmarried one C does?

How do you deal with relatives like Malik Obama?

Quote:
He got rich and became a snob. What I saw was he was the kind of person that wants people to worship him. He needs to be worshipped and I don’t do that. I am his older brother so I don’t do that,” said Malik.

The interview done via Skype from his home in Nyang’oma Kogelo village, Siaya County, was meant to promote Malik’s new book titled Big Bad Brother From Kenya, which was released in July.
