The struggle with many a rigid Logooli cultural practices

  The Logooli community is one of the deeply cultured societies – with near everything supposed to have been done as per custom – to allow another custom to follow. One example is that for a mature man (with a child or more) to be buried, there must be a house structure at home. Another is that a boy must be circumcised and nursed in father land. If maternal family decides to, the boy will have a hard time reconnecting with father people - a dent on his masculinity. There were two children who got burnt to death in a house in Nairobi.

Kamnara as Group Motto

Neccy Flossy: Suggestion - call it "Saniaga (Kamnara) Saniak Association" so that those who identify with Kamnara n Saniak maybe inclined to join coz Kamnara word I silent though it carries weight..... just a thought

Neccy Flossy: Yeah you got the gist. Kamnara as the motto sounds pretty good ... I like it

Neccy Flossy: KAMNARA tee-shirt!! BIG writings Black on White or W on B!!! How about that?

Mudengani Kisia: Lung'afa, there isn't 'u' on the word kamnara, it's a luo word. Putting it there makes it sound different.
