Default In My Search of Kenyan History $ Culture..i bumped into something very interesting    Show Printable Version  Print   Email this Page  Email  

Luos were and are very smart group of people in kenya. In those days, other communities namely the kalenjin and luhya were amazed at the trickery and smartness of luos. In an effort to unravel the origing of this geniousness...kalenjins offered their wives to luos for marriage and luhyas did the same. After children were born of luo fathers, the kalenjin and luhya fathers eloped with them. Today luos/descendents who eloped maintained luo traits though they speak truncated version of kalenjin, kisii, and luhya with thick luo accent. It is true that the wanga of mumia were originally luos, a tribe from which RAO family decended.

The myth of Lwanda Magere comes to mind...how a Kalenjin woman given to him as gift was actually sent to dicover the secret of repeated successes of the Luo in their tribal wars with the kalenjin...

Going through all this reminds me of a doctor who at the height of Nazis, adviced Adolf Hitler on the issue of Race science. Yours now is Tribal Science. In the end, Adolf Hitler synthesized the race science theory, built on deception which culminated into Jewish Holocaust. Keep up
