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. It should have been dug on the sides, the grave. A real thorn should have been thrust in his buttocks, his name go...

I am interested in mine lineage, Ugangu.

At Kamnara village, Bondo

-: This is a great exposition. I am related to Umutu and I spend lots of quality time with him when I visit home and even mostly he will be home with my father.

I wish I could construct such a historic flow of my lineage, unfortunately, I don't know much. We originally hailed from the foot of maragoli hills, where my grandfather Daniel Ugangu, born in 1907 migrated from in the 1930s and bought land in Buyonga. He had a brother called Ombe who went to Kapkangani in Nandi and another called Kilangunya the others I don't know about them. His twin sister Kadesa was married in Womulalu and another by the name Kahuya was married behind Vihiga high school and wa the mother to the late Pastor Charles Mbecha and the late Senior chief Fanuel Kaiga. I am told the land they left in Dabwongo was donated for construction of a school that I don't even know the name.  I wish I could find someone who could be knowing much about these people.

-: I used to think you are a great grandchild of Rubang'a /lubang'a/. 

Ombe of Kapkangani could be known as there is an active Saniaga group there. 

It is easy to find, there are leads in the villages and our history is not yet gone. With more efforts we will put it together.

-: @⁨Lung'afa⁩ , is it chisukuru or chiisukururwi? I thought the order of ascension was umwiisukuru, chiisukururwi, kesoni, kizyeezye. Ama?

-: You are right. Am related to the Lubang'as as well

-: Mwana, mwisukuru, chisukuru, chisukururwi /chisukul'lwi/, kesoni, kizienzie, kifudura moni. 

By clan I am Chisukuru cha Umutu.

-: I will be camping in Vihiga and environs for the starting month. Lazima tuone vile hizi families zinalink up.

-: Kifudura-moni🤣🤣🤣. Now I know.

-: 🤣🤣🤣. 

Hata ufanye nini, hauwes ona huyo. Labda if we engaged a boy as early as ten years. 😁😁. Successively so in his generations. 

Normally people die having Visukururwi. Kesoni is a great blessing. 😁. The future will cut this happiness, plan before you reproduce. 

-/😁🙈

-: That will be awesome, go find out more.
