Chahilu’s Funeral; Logooli Culture in action

Guuga Chahilu was respectfully laid to rest at his home on Saturday 14th June 2025. Having passed on at Mbale Referral Hospital on 31st May 2025, the two weeks leading to his burial were full of cultural discussions. His passing on is a great loss to the Logooli Language and Culture Family as he was a custodian and informer of Luhya Indigenous Knowledge. An observation as to how the funeral proceeded leads us to revist Logooli traditions amidst modern realities.  One, having left the house alive and now coming back in state, Chahilu was to be taken inside the house, placed muihiilu for a moment and then officially taken out in wait for earth burial. His casket was able to enter the doors. There are cases where the dead would find it difficult to be taken in and then out due to an oversized casket or thin door.

Don't be harsh, this how it all started..

-: Well for those of us who joined the group kitambo we started by tracing our roots where we came from our identity n so called relatives ie  avasaniaga vaveye ivunandi, vhu kumadzi etc
Then we had the pleasure to introduce ourselves to the 10th generation.

Then we stated our mission, vision, agenda na ndio hapo mang'ana Gi zisendi gaturira, officials were selected n asked to affirm their willingness, they did!
From here to those who joined later could pls ask for clarification of anything without bombarding the wall with feelings ‍♀ pls
It is also allowed to add more ' mature' leaders or to offer mentorship aside... Nyanzi nduguduze amang'ana yaga gosi mu llogooli Ku  Kuvhe voosi on the same page but it will take me a novel.

-: Kindly go to the blog brother. It is not fair to water down a groups effort. Kindly ask before blowing it up the wall. It really discourages the effort the likes of the Chairman and the interim crew. Remember these people are volunteering their time and to some extent resources. Let's use a kind and civil language when addressing issues here. We people (saniagas) from all walks of life. Personally if I felt the group is not addressing my agenda, I would leave without threatening to do so. We are here because we want to consolidate our efforts towards a better tomorrow. Excuse me for the rant.

-: .....and if you leave, we bring you back
