Uncovered Secrets About The Luos That Shed Light On The Enigma
In previous instances, I have mentioned that during Kenya's independence, the primary contenders for the highest position were from the Luo ethnic group, specifically Tom Mboya and Jaramogi Oginga Odinga (father of Raila). Odinga, being older and anticipating defeat against the younger Mboya, resorted to a political tactic to eliminate his opponent and fierce political foe. He spearheaded a movement demanding the release of Jomo Kenyatta (who was in prison at the time) and maintained that independence would not be accepted unless Kenyatta was freed.
Instead of the leadership of Kenya being handed over to one of his own, Jaramogi was willing to relinquish the presidency and offer it to a different community.
One of the common traits observed in individuals who experience rejection is a tendency towards envy and jealousy towards those in their inner circle. They may go to extreme lengths to prevent their loved ones from succeeding.
The Luo community is known for certain traits that indicate the presence of a strong spirit of rejection.
After extensive research, I stumbled upon this piece of information from a lesser-known aspect of the community's past.
According to popular belief, the Luo people migrated from Bahr-el-Ghazal in Sudan to East Africa. However, little is mentioned about their initial departure location upon arriving in Bahr-el-Ghazal. My research suggests that their origin is actually from the far western region of Africa, specifically present day Nigeria. My sources reveal that the early Luo tribe left Nigeria due to a severe conflict between two brothers, Uthieno and Gillo. During the altercation, Gillo was fatally wounded and it is believed that Uthieno, consumed by jealousy, was responsible for his death. Uthieno is known as the ancestor of the modern day Luo community in Kenya.
The intriguing aspect here is that there have been discussions (partly in jest) regarding the possibility of the Luos breaking away from Kenya if they are persistently marginalized. This echoes the suffering experienced by the community during their displacement from both the West (Nigeria) and later from Sudan. Despite my attempts, I have yet to uncover the exact motive behind the Luo's relocation from Bahr-el-Ghazal. However, considering their past, it is not hard to infer the underlying reasons.
The main purpose of my study is NOT to provide anti-Raila propagandists with material for a potential social media spam initiative. Instead, it is to uncover the reality and potentially initiate a healing process for our dear brilliant and very lovable brothers and sisters, who I greatly value and hold dear.
According to the good book, the truth will set you free... when you know it.
