Chahilu’s Funeral; Logooli Culture in action

Guuga Chahilu was respectfully laid to rest at his home on Saturday 14th June 2025. Having passed on at Mbale Referral Hospital on 31st May 2025, the two weeks leading to his burial were full of cultural discussions. His passing on is a great loss to the Logooli Language and Culture Family as he was a custodian and informer of Luhya Indigenous Knowledge. An observation as to how the funeral proceeded leads us to revist Logooli traditions amidst modern realities.  One, having left the house alive and now coming back in state, Chahilu was to be taken inside the house, placed muihiilu for a moment and then officially taken out in wait for earth burial. His casket was able to enter the doors. There are cases where the dead would find it difficult to be taken in and then out due to an oversized casket or thin door. A man or a lady of his house who died out of home has to be taken in the house for a last ritual mark. But if the person had died inside, he or she would not be brought bac...

An eye camp outreach by the CBO?

Saul Asige: Hi bro I also support the football team. Kindly pass the message on this wall about the eye camp, set a date and venue. Thanks

Lung'afa: Yes, I need share. 

But often new ideas may be discouraged. 😁😁. 

Maybe we just used this forum to report activities.  So that it can only be a matter of the executive and later publicized here. 

I am yet to share with the chair, sec and patrons. Today after the match to get their views. 

We are positive. It will happen. 👌🏿👌🏿

Baba Ndanyi: I cannot tell what's going on, but I guess it's something good, please tell me what's going on

Lung'afa: 😂😂. 

About results or the eye camp? I guess all of them. 

Fkf County League - Vihiga
Saniaga 0-1 Rangers

About the eye camp, Asige yesterday posted on Saniaga Tiriki West forum a suggestion of us organising a such event and I thought it a good idea...I did not rush to post here because, as expected, there will be many corrections bordering discouragement than positive feedbacks (We affect each other so). 

Maybe once Asigi and co. has been reached and clarified more on it then can we engage. But greatly if Dr. Sidika was reached on this then we can even have a big thought on the same. 

@⁨Saul Asige⁩ 
@⁨Doc!⁩

Doc!: How many on the group are for a medical/eye camp? How much time/ finances are we willing to give towards the event? It requires partnership with other like minded organizations for example Rotary/ Lions. I have no problem in engaging medical partners. Organizational logistics and funding would be our responsibility. We need someone in this group to develop a budget for it. Sidika

+254 726 7820xx‬: I'm for the idea

Lung'afa: Yes Doc, 

What does such a budget need in consideration?

Doc!: Budget should indicate the possible drugs/medicines to be used, transport for medical volunteers, snacks/bitings,teas/coffee. Consumables (gloves, cotton wool, meth spirit, spatulas etc) sterile packs and the eye specialists can add others peculiar to their practice. Sidika

Doc!: The partners can actually provide technical and professional personnel. Sidika

Lung'afa: Good to know. 

The nearest dispensary is Kilagiru. And Sabatia eye hospital at a near reach too. 

Can they be of importance? Can they be 'on our side' as we seek partners in your circle?

Lung'afa: Health workers are galore here. Infact we may need few to join to lighten some things.  

What says you @⁨Vincent Iramuka⁩ and @⁨Angano -Nyorotis⁩? Can we know what we can do better and whom to engage too? 

It may end up to be one of the best camps ever done around. 😁😁😁
