Luanda Reggae Defenders - what is your long term agenda?

Luanda Reggae Defenders is a now a popular movement with roots in Vihiga and border Siaya and Kakamega counties Attention is brought to the manner and conduct the movement has gained fame and followers, mainly the Youths. The movement capitalizes on funerals. With a poor culture of putting the dead to rest, the Reggae Defenders have taken it by storm and rebranded the infamous ‘Disco Matanga’ – disco at funeral.

They have this huge old school sound system that is over buzzing to no clear reggae song - that they hire a pickup to carry - and it has a young DJ mainly standing there than mixing anything. Often, against the rules, the casket is grabbed from a hearse vehicle and tied to a motorbike. There it will be swayed and jerk breaked between other motorbikes on the narrow roads.

SANIAGA WhatsApp GROUP

Good Morning! It is Friday 21, July 2017 and we 'launch' this group. I am happy to be here among my kin folk. The aim is in belonging, feeling you are with your people. The purpose is in sharing, encouraging and focussing. I know that saniagas did strive to form economic support groups in the past but in a way things went down. I believe that the fire burns in us and the dream that was should be lived. It would come with different hics because we would not read from the same page always which I encourage all of us to aspire past the normal scratches to eagle view potential conflicts. 

As much as we are of one blood we need not be blind to think we are of one soul. And therefore, in whatever initiative you may take as a Saniaga, own it first by yourself without necessarily expecting all of us behind your back. And being committed as a saniaga can be, let us keep diverse options of growth, reason and support. Unknown to us would be the voices of those who do not want to speak or measure their moods. Tend to say something always. Strive to research and learn. Develop the thirst. Do not be a listener only. And that would give you a sit in the many barazas we shall have here.

 Few said and much left, I would request us to seek Saniagas wherever they are. Talk to them, listen to their stories, ask questions, add them here. And in that way we shall keep the blood alive, the gods happy and ourselves worth to our next generation. My name is Lung'afa, the son of Igunza, the son of Lung'afa, the son of Isagi, the son of Liguchi, the son of Mugenge, the son of  Viriruma*, son of  Mweremi*, the son of Mafumu*, son of Ruriva*, Son of Saniaga and I dwell at saniaga.blogspot.com
