Maama Zayi of Kikaaya Zone, Kyebando, recently learnt it the hard way after she was embarrassed by her very own husband before her female friends.According to a reliable source, Mama Zayi, a housewife, was popular with the female folk in the area due to the “massive wealth” and investments she and her Hajji had in town. Women flocked their Muzigo to get advice on money-making. However, their wealth was more spoken of than real.On this fateful day, of Thursday, January 31, her husband, a Green boat operative, returned home early.She took it as a chance to spread the gospel of their wealth to her visitors. “Hajji, kulika yo. Bizinesi zirizitya, takisi zonna zakoze? Abapangisa be Kololo basasudde? Ate ekyuma kye mwanyi kireeta ssente?(Hajji, welcome back. How are our businesses? Are the taxis working? Have our Kololo tenants paid up? errr.. What about the coffee plant? Is it generating money?) she went on not allowing the confused man to answer.To further her impressions, she wondered if the Hajji could part with a loose sh10,000 note to buy the visitors some meat. This is when hell broke loose. The incensed man, loudly declared “Okimanyi aba Green Boat tebanaba kutuwa musala. Sirina ssente. Oba oyagala enva mpa ekibbo ngende nnoge doodo munimiro,” (You very well know green boat has not paid us. I don’t have any money. If you want sauce, get me a basket and I go and pick green vegetables in the garden) he said.Mama zayi was shattered and stormed out of the house, after which her hubby proceeded to lecture her visitors on the perils of materialistic womenends
