The Kamnara of Sakwa are making ground to build for future generations

Greetings from the Kamnara of Sakwa! The Kamnara people of Sakwa on 27th December 2024 gathered at Village Park, Ajigo (near Bondo). Hosted by Kwaka Joseph, they hearkened to the consultative forum call, arriving in good numbers and early enough for a successful day. The gathering was chaired by Mr. Nying’ro James Onyango, a former (retired) assistant commissioner of Police. The introductions were excellent. The genealogies were mentioned in reverence, lengthy ones applauded. And courtesy of Enos Oyaya’s book, “Kamnara my people”, anyone who would need help had the documentation. Oyaya had launched the Kamnara book on 30th December 2022 at his home in Kamnara Mwalo, an event that gathered Vakamnara from far and wide. “What can we do that the generations to come will benefit from?” This was the clarion Mr. Kwaka Joseph called on all to fashion their minds to. And issues were raised in the fields of Education, health, agriculture, enterprise, politics and more that the swift dholuo would...

Division, sweet division

Mudengani Kisia: The human race has a single legacy, division has made us otherwise.

Lung'afa: Division, sweet division. We gain legacies through identity which is a division of personality that goes to places and later over years becomes a people's history. So as above, Bible is 'another people's division' though sprituality is human's single legacy if I may call it so. Our look should be of doubt as we mingle with foreign legacies. We closed our eyes in prayer but remained with the Bible in the hands, the land gone, Kenyatta said. Wish we had never even been given a sermon.

Mudengani Kisia: I agree legacies are born because of division. But where was the source of division, whilst some may say it's a natural part of humanity, Christians know it began in Eden through sin, rebellion. Christ came to end this rebellion by His sacrifice. Let's distinguish between Christianity(religion) from salvation(way of life). A true Christian is that who lives the way of life of Christ. Otherwise they are religious Christians. Politics comes through the religious part where a stronger legacy takes advantage of the religious to have dominion.

Lung'afa: English and Hebrew are language divisions the way lulogooli is. Why then did we accept their religion philosophy so easily yet we had ours? Between English and your mother tongue, which is better a language? It is mother tongue cause it hosts your HERITAGE. Now we do not know about Misambwa and Imuungu Karooka. We know only about Eden and Christ, another culture's philosophy. Our Eden is 'different'.

Mudengani Kisia: Every a people cannot have their own Eden, traditional tribes who had lost literacy thought of their Eden as a close proximity to where the founders of their tribes lived. For example you cannot certainly imagine that murogoris Eden is in mungoma caves. He was of course a man with an ancestry. At some point we all agreed that we came from the north, as many other African tribes. The Genesis gives an elaborate explanation of the scattering of the generations of Adam, Cain, Seth, Noah, cush etc. We are all certainly one a decent from among them. Therefore more as we may strive to maintain our legacy, we have to be aware of a common ancestry, therefore also a departure from the right living and worship, and a need to get back to the 'truth', of which Christ is a witness. Indeed someone said only God knows everything.

Lung'afa: Hahaha, I love how defensive of the Biblical Eden you dossier here. See there are other pre-Biblical Edens and they not necessarily mean a 'place'. The Fulani know Eden as a drop of milk that Doondari, a God, created a stone from. Then the stone created iron, iron fire, fire water and water air, man's elements. When Allah men convinced them that Doondori was not a real God but Allah was the true God, they accepted. Now they wish they had their Doondori.

Mudengani Kisia: When I at one point talked of archaeologists having not dated any written material beyond 10000 years, I was insinuating that creation story is the only truth about the origin of life. In fact, it's not actually 10000 years but only 7000. Tell me of any ancient city that dates beyond 7000 years back or beyond 4000 BC. We are products of biblical Eden. People had already started falling away from true worship. But the first major division occurred when men were scattered from the city of Babel, built by Nimrod the great, the son of cush. The first city ever having been built by Cain, which he named after his son enosh. A possibility of anybody existing before Adam is a vain thought, just considering written literature alone.

Mudengani Kisia: Before we come to the modern impirical theory of intelligent design, rather irreducible complexity. Evolution is @ crisis, about to be rendered extinct.

Lung'afa: You won't lose a thing if you saw the other side. I will be patient. See, Cain told God that people would kill him if they met him due to his mark. Who were these people bro? Two, Genesis 6, when daughters had been married to sons of the land and sin was much that God regretted creating man, we are left wondering, which worldly people are this that married them. There were people. If so Noah's ark carried all animals, how did kangaroos thereafter ran away to Australia? If there were no pre-civilisations or duo civilisations, as you take Bible as the only true civilisation, how came Joseph was sold to a land that was so stable that contained the israelites as slaves for 400 years? I ask this way because Moses wrote the history of the Bible also writing of his death and burial, funny. Now, there existed other civilisations past 10, 000 years BC. I will quote them.
