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.

Sally Kosgei and Raila Odinga - Any Saniaga Relations?

-: Yeah hata i heard that Raila is a saniaga is it real?

-: Legendry say Oginga Odinga x4/5 generations belonged in the house of Nabongo Mumia Kingdom, therefore... Luhya ancestry. KABAKA n his kingdom ruled n stretched up to Naivasha.  Every year a homege was paid to Kabaka in Uganda for advice coz Nabongo controlled a sub-kingdom od Bunganda. One day, a mutiny erupted during those homages and Ogingax5 left in charge of Mumias led the war to prevent Nabongo to return from Buganda as there were disputes during the reigning. Kabaka was not happy of the erupted war and help Nabongo fight back Oginga so thatthe Nabongo kingdom is restored. Ogingax4 had made a grave mistake to which wazees were not happy so Kabaka bannished him to Sakwa. The whole clan had to leave Nabongo Kingdom n flee to Sakwa. And that is wgere they are today after assimilating with the Luos. HEARSAY? It could be until research unearthes similar or such a situation MU MADIKU GA MAZIAMBIRI GALA. Have a nice read or contribute something hearsay.

-: There we go....

-: Hehehe... Most great people are usually claimed from all sorts of quarters. The Arabs are adamant that Shakespeare was one of them... Sheikh Zubayir...

-: 😝😝😝. Ibo think they the true Israelites

-: Thyroiditis is not cancer but infection within the thyroid gland. It could either be a viral or bacterial infection. I have been radiation worker for 42years and done research in radiation and cancer. The post on thyroid cancer has truth in it. By the way Ida ( Raila’s wife ) is Maragoli. I spoke with her in kimaragoli as when she was in her office in NHIF building (prime ministers wife office)Sidika

-: She's not exactly Maragoli, but she'sa Migori Luo  and as you know a large population of Maragolis have settled there. She must have interacted a lot with them. Dr. Sally Kosgey too talks some very nice, flawlessly fluent Lurogori.

-: But she's a Nandi.

-: By the way Sally is my cousin. Ida even knows her Maragoli origins. I have interacted with both. Sidika

-: Dr  Sally Kosgei is actually a Maragoli. I work with her step brother's son who is my close friend. Sally's dad is a Maragoli who bought land and lives in nandi. He has two sides - Sally's mom is a nandi  but the first wife who is my friend's dad's mom is a Maragoli.

-: Two wives (not sides)

-: Sally is Maragoli. Her dad was Maragoli, mwifa Munandi. Mkana Mukihayo, I know

-: No wonder she is so tough...saniaga women😀

-: I also heard that she is Umulogooli. I am glad it is confirmed here as true.

-: My late mother-in-law & I also spoke to her in Lulogooli in 2007 when Raila was seeking the presidency. My maternal cousin- a Mulogooli whose family migrated to Migori showed me Ida's birth-place (home) in Migori & told me they are Luhya. I can't remember if it is Kisa but her family lives among Avalogooli in Migori.so they know Lulogoolo & Dholuo.
