2. Wanjikũ.

She was the matriarch of the Aanjikũ clan.
Her husband was called Njikũ.
The Aanjikũ also identify themselves as Aagacikũ.
She is very beautiful none can take their eyes off her.

Her men are so handsome and of value that women fight for them.
A Mũnjikũ/Mũũgacikũ (singular of Aanjikũ/Aagacikũ) bribes but cannot be bribed.
Aagacikũ do not engage in gossip. They make very hard working farmers in their shambas.
They make clear-cut decisions with an irreducible finality and are thus difficult to convince easily.
She made a legend by riding on a Giraffe’s neck in a very successful raid.
Wanjikũ savoured a deep sense of independence and self-reliance.
She is famed for being a remarkable motivational speaker.
She was also described as “the one whose voice is medicine.”
She discovered the antidote to treat poison from snakebites.
The antidote she made was a mixture of saliva and extracts from some roots that she chewed.
She was regarded to have a heart of iron because she was a perfectionist.
Aanjikũ are beauty conscious and strong feminists.
Whoever tried to quarrel her walked away clothed in embarrassing defeat.
In conclusion, Wanjikũ complimented Wanjirũ as another pillar of the Agikuyu community.
