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.

Facing Mount Kenya - was it Kenyatta's?

Good morning Family. We start here. 👆🏾. Do you think Jomo is the author of Facing Mount Kenya? The first time I read the book I doubted... This page increases my doubts...

Erick Author: There's what we call shadow writing. I have shadow written for three or four people. They tell you what they want written, you write and hand over and they pay, and you relinquish all rights to the work...to them. If someone doesn't have the time or skills, that's what they do. Even newspaper articles, academic papers, speeches, etc, etc...we shadow write for people and they get the credit and accolades.😏😏

Erick Author: What I'm saying is that he most likely got it shadow written for him. I don't think he actually sat down somewhere and wrote it.

Lung'afa: Acceptable. But Jomo could have done the other way. Stole.

Erick Author: But why didn't the one that was stolen from ever speak out?! Feared for her life?!

Lung'afa: Dr. Matunda is defensive. 😊. Stakes at lose?

Erick Author: He owns a publishing firm. Nsemia Publishers. There could be stakes somewhere.😂

Lung'afa: We are established on sloppy slopes. We are rarely rooted. We fear losing our very delicate structures. Not even to doubt them. 

- We are. 😊

Neccy Flossy: The book was written by Jomo Kenyatta's British wife the silent Edna Kenyatta, the mother of Magana Kenyatta who lives in Hampstead Village, UK. Magana once worked for BBC early thosr days. Because of highest racism them days and Edna loved Jomo, to guarantee acceptance in the British household and marriage to the British dota, Kenyatta had to be proved as a man of su stance from the British Protectorate. Edna had to prove that her love bird was a substance to re kon with so Edna wrote the book for Jomo with narrations from Jomo. Edna had to give up the rights to save her husband Jomo and he be elevated into high society for Edna's English family not to be put down racially for marrying a black man Jomo. Edna gave up all the rights for her black spouse. She did not know the culture but she was dictated to ehat to write bcoz she had reasons to write the book.
