LAST WORD
On Risky Strategies
Ochieng was lazily surfing TV channels on a Sunday afternoon in a relaxed semi reverie when he came across a program called ‘ How I met your mum ’ which snapped him out of his dreamy state as he recalled the interesting circumstances of how he met and later married his wife Achieng .
It is a standing joke among their friends that Ochieng must have changed his name to woo Achieng because they claimed it was too coincidental that a relationship that they consider was surely made in heaven should have a couple with the same name .
This was emphasized by the fact that Achieng had dropped her ‘ colonial ’ name as she refers to her given baptismal name and was known as Achieng Ochieng from the moment that they were officially married because she insists that she took the vows on her African name .
