@NoelAnyango3@Elvis_Localman Don't speak of something you don't know tafadhali they fought for Kikuyu freedom let it stay that way kaa nyi mlipiganiwa na mboya ni sawa
@mwangifelx@wanguwamajani I also gave my examples and emphasized on why i think it's in a way matriarchal,,, my conclusion would be it's neither matriarchal nor patriarchal and Also not matrilineal
@mwangifelx@wanguwamajani I think every community that allowed a female to lead them is in a way matriarchal there's communities that wouldn't even think of such a thing most believe a woman can't lead men
@JohnOumah@nc_missy@EvanKonye@SophieOrenge Mumbi is believed to be the founding mother of our tribe and the child belongs to the mother and her family only if a man is an absent dad
@wanguwamajani The husband allowed her to be chief it was supposed to be him but he chose her wife and karuri wa gakure also allowed it the men were okay with it if it was truly patriarchal they would've suggested a suitable male
@wanguwamajani And in instances where the girl wasn't married or was returned to the father he would inherit her a piece of land just know your culture it's not until we had stingy and jealous uncles who fought inheritance of land to the girlchild
