What They Say In Kenya About Background Checks
You have every reason to think twice when the deal is too good, that’s the truth.
That’s why I want to focus on young men out there.
Those of us who belong to the past generation knew our boundaries even when it came to relationships.
For instance, even in my teenage years, I knew all too well that some women were strictly to be admired.
I would only dream of them during Christmas. We grew up knowing all too well the type of women we could date.
With this knowledge, young women could not try any funny tricks on us.
So, young men, whenever a beautiful woman approaches you in a pub showing an interest in you, stop and and first question yourself if you’re the most handsome man on earth.
There are three things a man should never indulge a woman unless she is the missus: don’t pay her rent, don’t pay her college fee and don’t even try having a joint account.
I know of a married man who lost a lot of money thinking he was paying college fee for his mpango wa kando.
The young woman had lied to him that she was studying at a university on Thika Road.
In love, the poor guy would give her cash, since he didn’t want a paper trail.
He was sure she was in the said college, as he would at times drop her at the college’s gate. After two years, the truth was revealed.
This was after he decided to pay the fee himself and clear arrears.
He was surprised when the accounts department told him his mpango wa kando’s name could not be found in the records.
He called her to confirm the name, but her particulars could still not be traced.
Let’s just say she went missing after that and has never picked the man’s calls.
The man could have probably sent his children to a good private school instead of having them in public school while wasting money on a woman he clearly knew very little about.
Had he taken time to do some background check, the truth could have probably been unearthed earlier.
