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.

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.
