SHOCKING!!! In This Tribe, Girls Are Taken Away From Their Parents At Age 15 by 7Ebisco: 2:14pm On Jul 04, 2020
Back in the day, marriage was taken more seriously than today. Parents groomed their children with a direct motive of getting married at a certain age.

This meant giving extra time to the children, most especially girls, to be good wives and mothers.

However, today people start dating or hook up while at school, night clubs or pubs, in taxis or buses and probably move in without their parents’ knowledge. Girls in Buganda were given extra preparation for marriage to avoid disappointments and breakups.

According to Charles Lwanga Busuulwa, a ceremonial spokesperson, at the age of 15, girls were taken to the paternal aunt’s (ssenga) homes for training.

“Away from the general conduct, love and respect, there are certain rituals paternal aunts perform for girls to become real women. While at the aunt’s place, a girl is taught about the good and bad side of marriage, how to deal with marital issues and then cautioned to be resilient in case of challenges,” he says.

“The kitchen and bedroom habits are vital aspects during the ssenga’s training,” mentions Annet Nandujja, a commercial ssenga and counsellor. After the training, the bride’s parents along with the family elders would start looking for a man to marry their girl.

This is after they are well-informed about the behaviour and background of a certain family that they wished to relate with.

The search for a husband or wife was headed by elders from both the bride and groom’s family but the proposal came from the man’s side. Apart from the elders, the girl had no hand in the preparation or discussions whatsoever, according to Busuulwa.

Even outsiders know that the way to a man's heart is through his manhood and his stomach.

Tell a Nigerian lady to cook for you nowadays, she'll tell you that you're enslaving her. Ask her to turn for doggy style, she'll tell you its a sin.

Mumu set of people.

In many tribes around the world 15 is the official age of womanhood. Births are no problem for these cultures as a woman can have her eighth child at 30 then become a grandmother at 40. I watched a documentary recently where a 65 year old great grandmother was relaying stories to the latest generation (her 'adult' great granddaughter) about how things were done during her time. African Americans need to revert back to this culture so they can outbirth the white man and catch up with Latin Americans.
