INSECURITY

“Don’t love me for fun girl,

Let me be the one girl,

Love me for the reason,       

And let the reason be love….x2” Boyzone

To those women who say men are dogs, woe onto you! We all came out of that flesh you still treasures the most. Anyway, that aside! Thank you. The recent news of Nyalong being auction by her own family is still devastating the world in general and naïve ones who don’t even own chickens in their villages, particularly. Five Hundred healthy cows, three fuel drinking V8 cars, and money added on top, if I’m not wrong, right? That is average about fifty fertile men going without wives that very year in my village – Zack Mayul included. LOOOOOOOOL!

If you’re a man or woman who feel you’re likely to fall in the trap, never hesitate anymore. I’m here for you. To the entrepreneurs, here is the chance. Grab it! For those who don’t know what entrepreneurship is, let me just give you the glimpse by first defining what entrepreneurship is in my own language. Deal? Real entrepreneurs, please be with me and help me where I to make sense in the line. Again, thank you! Okay let’s now define entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship is the process of filling the gap unidentified with the available product (s) in the market. What’s this gap? The gap is through insuring relationships. How? Here are the guiding stars to let you make it to paradise.

One, Time Wastage Policy: Insurance companies should start introducing this policy to everyone – regardless of race, colour, gender, political backgrounds, region or religion. You need it, I need it, and we all need it, don’t we? Why the hell on earth do you cohabited with me and you marry someone you randomly met when you boarded a taxi from Gumbo to Custom Market and then rushed him/her to Emanuel Parish to wed? Bro/sis, you’re a big joke. Booo!

Some years back, I used to know a couple who courted for a very long time but eventually, parted ways: reason being that, the dude who swore by his mother’s cloak to tie the knot with the girl when the right time comes opted to change the diet to fulfill the dream. He apologized though, but is that worth forgiving? No! We need that policy and I will be among those first people who will table to design the lectures’ notes if the higher education is ready to incorporate it in the curriculum. There should be penalty if one breaches this contract, there should be penalty, I emphasizes.

Two, if you dated or still in that relationship right now with someone, and you have been contributing everything: finances, morally or ideally, and the other party leaves you, he/she is entitle to compensate you. This policy should be included, and the name we shall baptize this policy is commitment policy. This, too, apply to both men and women that are victimize in these affairs. If you don’t commit yourself, you need to look elsewhere who to waste your time with. Girl, I ain’t your daddy.

Three, the heartbreak policy: this is a policy that the so-called lovebirds need to apply; by it natural virtue, cut off a sheer slide of your incomes to secure the relationship. If I break your heart or you break mine, you or I must be compensated me, too. I need it, you need it, and we all need to be rewarded for everything so that we can settle before it escalates and don’t ends up losing everything we sacrificed for the sake of others. Are you Christ to die for others’ sake? You’re buying my trust, bwana. Kwani iko nini? There are scores of scares, and the wounds will never heals that fast if you think so. How do you plan to close them anyway when they are wide open? Heartbreak policy will close those open scares in case you don’t know. Go for it. Don’t shy off it.

Four, “faith without action is death……”, The Bible. Relationships are cement and seal through trust, love and care. The major way to make it last for eternities is through faithfulness. What kind of marriage or relationship do you think you will lead to if it is galvanized with lies? I mean, dealing with the infidels? Your heart wasn’t meant to be broken by bunch of dim wits who marathons after you only to quench their lust. Before you seal the covenant, anyway, especially for the men and women who are planning to get married soon – precise, the Church witness, this is where you dearly need the policy the most.

I recently drop a random question in one of my Whats’App Groups about this topic. One of the comments that I received was that, the parties involved in the relationship should have the understanding and feel the compassion to hold the relationship in their hearts and hands. I don’t deny it. I agreed. But what if all these necessary means fails? What if trust gets assassinates? What if faith is sacrificed for rituals? And, what if love goes behind bars for life? What should we do next to make sure that we compensate these parties disadvantaged yet celibacy isn’t for everyone? Is it not wise to devise new strategies to save these relationships fighting their lives in internal care units (ICU)?

Our central point of discussion to initiate this insurance policy is powered by the recent case of Mrs. and Mr. Alat. When Nyalong was swaps for large head of cattle, fleet of cars and huge lump sum of money. I have been thinking, what about the man who she was in love with? How about those days she was standing with her, understanding and stood by her in those trying times firmly without fear, the number of times he used to visit her when she was badly sick, the faith, and the promises that she made to him. Now, all served their terms in the bin. Who will account for them? Dozens of questions have been aired: why marry her and she is young? But she should not have been sold like a sack of maize in Konyokonyo Market, etc, etc. Gender activist, of course you will have to forgive me by baptizing them gender activists. But yeah, they said it all, they spat it. I agreed to some critics, I disagreed to some critics. What protected her from being marry off? Absolutely, nothing. The point now is what if she [Nyalong] had this “original” lover initially before – the man who loved her with all his heart, mind and soul; who will accounts for his lost? Don’t you think he needs the compensation too for time wastage and the heartbreak policies? I think he surely does, doesn’t he? How about the women the dude that married to, are they happy?

I’m not disputing the trust involved in the process, yes! But how is it even to be augmented with these policies? This should be done in accordance to the grand rules that states that anyone who breaches this contract: regardless of gender, age, religion or political affliction should compensate the other party wholeheartedly without any resistance. You love me when you agreed with me, didn’t you? So if you leave me, who will cover for your damages? Think!

Like HIV/AIDS awareness, I think, we, the potential husbands and wives of the modern families, this policy will work perfectly for us. I am not suggesting that we should doubt the people we shall tie our knots with, neither am I restricting anyone to venture in and seek consultations when they’re really sure they want to have an everlasting kind of relationship. But what will a girl who got impregnate and the man responsible for the pregnancy runs away do? – leaving both the kid and the lady to the mercy of God? How about that man who sponsored his girlfriend to study a degree at the university and the girl ends up marrying another man at the end of her four years course? How about the girl who has worked tirelessly to keep her relationship a success and then later dragged in the mud by a stranger who does not even know when the leap year will be? Insure! Insure! Insure your love.
