Kisumu Man Hilariously Shares Details Of His Attempts At Getting Married: "I've Seen Dust"

• Fred Nyasoro is single, not because he doesn't want to get married, but due to a string of bad luck
• He has tried getting married four times to different women, but it all ended in disaster
• Nyasoro shared details of his experiences in a hilarious post that stirred reactions online

Fred Nyasoro has shared his four failed attempts at getting married, which left him sceptical.

He detailed the experiences in a hilarious Facebook post, adding that women had shown him dust.

Fred Nyasoro's debut marriage attempt

In the first attempt, Nyasoro even went for introductions in Kano as he was ready to settle down with the petite woman.

He gathered two friends with whom they drove in a Toyota Vitz from Mombasa to Ahero.

"Introductions, unlike nyombo don't require many people, so I had just KSh 50,000: KSh 20,000 for each of the parents and KSh 10,000 for catering," he started.

He intended to ask for the young woman's hand in marriage as he prepared for dowry.

To his surprise, the dad said the money was an insult because, for his daughter, the token for introductions should be at least KSh 100,000.

He tried convincing his girlfriend to explain to her dad that he would do better next time, but she insisted he honour the order.

Disappointed, he asked for a break only to take his boys to the nearest pub, where they spent the KSh 50,000 on partying.

Nyasoro's 2nd marriage attempt

Nyasoro moved on from the failed introduction and found a new woman with whom he moved in.

Just when he thought the two were headed for a lifetime together, he discovered she was having an affair.

They were so obsessed with each other that she would sneak out to visit him even when they were together.

"The worst of all is that they have a daughter together. I couldn’t continue the relationship after that," he narrated.

How were Nyasoro's 3rd and 4th marriage attempts?

The ever-optimistic Nyasoro found a third woman he loved so much that he even took her to his village during events.

After visiting his home enough times, Nyasoro's mother also grew to like the young woman.

Her problem was insecurity with anyone around him, including his female followers on social media.

"We only broke up when I found out that, with all her insecurities, she was actually the one cheating on me with a married man," he continued.

In his fourth experience, which is the most recent, Nyasoro likens it to a cat and mouse game.

Until now, Nyasoro has no idea whether he was the cat or the mouse in the relationship, but he's back to being single.
