The rest are amagamation of different tribes from Kuria, Kisii, Maragoli - subtribe of luhya etc. Cutting foreskin does not prevent AIDs in anyway.It was thought to make your foreskin clean at same time reduce the size of your peni.s. Also, it is/was to limit the woman pubic hair from cutting the man's peni.s during intercourse. I think there is much to it than just a kihii thing people are talking about. Is it because of their academic prowess or what?

Luos are famous for all the bad news - uncircumcision, AIDS, Cholera, violence and wife inheritance. This tends to diminish their learned tatus. The good things in their lif will not make a lot of sense.

I strongly feel that if you are from any other kenyan tribe except luo the government of kenya should pay you for that disability. I am serious

Did you not hear Raila say it was an accident that he was born a Luo? That is why his son married a kyuk so that he could get out of that curse. That is also the reason he is fighting so hard to become a Kikuyu elder and not a Luo one.
That chap is bright but is not enlightening his followers.

It is clear that you can not ignore luo's unlike some tribe which can disappear in oblivion 2. Luos are poor but never timid. Infact it takes other tribes by suprice and they quickly dismiss it for arrogance 3.i do not believe loosing fore skin is more painful than loosing 6 teeth. So it is not a matter of pain tolerance, but cultural conflict. 4. With all the marginalization, assasination of top luo leaders, economic desenfranchisement luo's are still standing. The kalenjin were in power for 20 years but made it clear that they could not even take 1 more year of opposition. Luo's took it for 40 years. 5.luo's are the only tribe that harvest without sowing. Other tribes ;sow, weed etc, luo's are blessed with the lake where they simply go and get fish. 6.in most places you find luo's even if employed in manual labor , you will almost uniquely find them cleaner than even the boss. They will rather buy a bar of sop before food. 7. Finally apart from north eastern everybody is becoming landless or overcrowded, yet luos are still sparcely populated and land issue is not an issue. 8. Going by steryotype and to some extend they are true, luo's do not invest so much. When they get their money they first pay themselves; getting entertained and having a good time, rather than being miserable but investing. 9. Finally luo's have healthy but un-compromising show their emotions. For example it used to be the trend that when gor mahia plays, luos will beat people around city stadium regardless. Now this people home is very far fro nairobi compared to kambaa, kikuyu and kalenjin yet they operate in that part of city as if it is there home. It is therefore my humble submission that if you are not a luo the government of kenya should pay you for disability.

Did you not hear Raila say it is an accident that he was born a Luo? Why dd his son marry a Kikuyu and why is he fighting to be made a Kikuyu elder?
I think this chap knows something the rest of the Luos dont know but he is not telling them.

For a fact obama's father is a luo and that makes him automatically a luo. Now tell me who is celebrated and worshipped in the world today that obama. You saw what happened in europe, you see how amercia is crazy about him. So i beg your audacity to say luo's are famous for the wrong reasons. We know that the president of usa rules the world, and if that becomes obama i do not think it is misguided to say a luo is ruling the world.

Don't distract our attention from the issue of discussion at hand. How many Kenyan politicians know that there is something called blogs?. At what time will they read these blogs while they are either hunting for people's women or drinking beer?. How many of them know how to read or write?

Only luos worship people my friend, only luos.

Obama is liked, celebrated but not worshiped , get that right.

concurred. Prejudiced minds awash in mashada. I have suffered tribalist attacks here but never felt the need to retaliate the same way. Someone once said that is it better to acquit 10 guilty men than condemn 1 innocent man. Evenif it was mainly Kalenjins that killed my people in RV, for the sake of a few descent Kales that I know, I can never in good conscience bring myself to attacking "Kalenjin the tribe" but rather the individuals.
