Marrying a gossiper is a life load that can depress you. Coastal women are known to be social and love talking. Unfortunately, some might hide love for gossip in this general perspective. If she is a gossiper, you will start getting strange looks from 'mama karanga' and other women as they whisper, ‘huyu ndiye bwana wa mama udaku’. Please watch out for these signs to avoid marrying a woman who cannot survive in a world free from gossip.
1. She doesn’t keep secrets
Did you tell her about your plan to relocate from Mtwapa to Bamburi then heard it from your neighbour the following day? Well, if this is the case and you had not shared with them earlier, your wife is a gossiper. If she can discuss your family plans with strangers you met with on a residential plot in Mtwapa, how will she keep secrets she gets from other mamas. She will solve endless cases if you decide to live with her.
2. Her friends gossip
If her friends tell you about what she advised them not to reveal to you, they love gossip and drama. She is likely to be a gossiper to fit in their social circles.
3. All her conversations are about other people
There are women who will tell you everything about fellow tenants. They also have details of all illicit love affairs in your estate. She will narrate how 'baba fulani' does ABCD with so and so. However, you will be surprised that she is clueless about non-gossip matters.
