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. That, is, how a fellow soldier, often a young dead, is mourned. ...

Hi all, I have been following the discussion...


-: Hi all, I have been following the Saniaga discussion with very keen interest, I am almost concluding that our ancestors were ambitious and adventurous in nature and also responsible, they kept track of what they did and where. Look at this real case scenario; one of my brothers sired a child with a Portuguese lady 12 years ago, the lady went back to Portugal with the boy. That boy will grow into a man and will sire generations of Saniagas in Europe with no trace of black or colored skin, the boy has a Saniaga name Ndasia! This is a true situation.

-: If I may ask madam Jeska, about DNA and weaker offsprings as a result of marriage between relatives, looks like Saniaga knew about this very early, that's why they would cast their nets far and wide!!🤓🤓🤓

-: Let us keep adding our thoughts. We are going to use it in our researching.

All is titled and archived @ saniaga.blogspot.com

-: Yes Lungafa, as much as it may look, feel or sound unconvincing..... file/archieve everthing, we will get answers

-: By the way my late maternal grandpa had migrated to Kigumba and only brought part of  the family back to Kenya during Idd Amin’s rule in Uganda. Whoever is going to assess and give us the church renovation quote was probably born in Kigumba. Sidika

-: @Lung'afa
Adventure in its finer perspective! Ask Saniaga origi!! 😎😎😎

-: I make trips there, Kigumba as late as last year but not on research but to bury those there. If a contingency needed, necessitating a trip, things can be organised

-: The first Ebola breakout in Uganda in the 1980s happened in the middle of these Kigumba Saniagas, consuming a whole family living one survivor only  - Lumumba and 32 orphans a place called Kaduku, the place I visit. Lumumba's family were neighbours to the Agesa family that I occasionally visit. Lumumba took care of the orphans with some help from the Red Cross, but help eventually fizzled out, but them children all are now grow up into man and women married with children, another generation of Saniagas formed.  Lumumba is still alive with a story to tell of how he escaped from hospital to survive Ebola!!!! His narration of evens would make you ask... what really was this thing... Ebola????

-: Maybe an identity @Lung'afa . Might our first father have married a kalenjin gal as result of wondering? Have you known who the wife to the first family was?
