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. The single mother had left for night work. Elders were told that one of the children was Logooli. The other, the woman had sired with someone else. The Logooli family wanted to burry their little one and long discussed the do’s and don’ts. Of a man who died childless and the grave was placed as if he had died as a man with children.

Mysterious people?

-: Interesting read. So in a nutshell, would I be wrong to assume that Saniaga was not one of Murogolis sons? There is something that doesn't add up when the Mulogoli family tree is being illustrated. We don't seem to have a fixed place of abode☹. Becomes even more complicated when we have to explain this to our kids. I agree someone did a very shoddy job and failed completely to bring out a proper explanation/path route of our descent......so what makes this clan so famous despite their unclear origin? What again makes other clans shudder when a Musaniaga stands up? What explains the zeal Saniagas have to excel in whatever they want to do? Does it perhaps explain why we are quick to anger?...these and many other obviously displayed attributes, could they be as a result of what I'd say a bullied child that strives to outshine the favoured ones?.....just my developing set of disjointed theories based from what I am reading here, insightful and intriguing as well!

-: Baba we seem to be mysterious people. Sasa kunyi ni vana va mulogoli dave noho ndi?

-: And we continue to be mysterious...some of our mother's are from distant places...imagine what our grandchildren well be....if we keep the trend...
