Am proud of you speaking Swahili. At least you can communicate. I see you speaking fluent in the next 2 years. Plan to enroll in some Swahili courses even at elementary school it will help
Thank you!! yeah if I lived here that long I think I would be at least conversational. I learned Spanish in school and even with a break between then and now I was doing well with exposure from traveling in Mexico and Colombia. It’s all about the practice 😁
I have checked out quite a few videos and I definitely respect how you move, keep up the great work. Out of Ghana, Kenya, and Tanzania, which place you like the best ?
@@Yahmeen90 thank you, I’m glad you enjoying them ☺️ - I’ve never been to Ghana - Love Kenya because things are convenient and I think the coast is more developed - Love Tanzania for peace, nature, food, vibes ☺️ It depends on what you’re looking for from traveling here
Kisumu is cosmopolitan with multiple racial and ethnic groups but the Nilotic Luo(peoples of OBAMA, Actress LUPITA NYONGO, Actress SHEILA ATIM of “WOMAN KING”) form a significant portion of the population . There is a large population of Asian Indian and most recently White particularly from US have settled in Kisumu, Mombasa and Nairobi(US state department records show that approximately 40,000 from US live in Kenya permanently with at least 300K visiting in 2019 alone) . Most recently also Asian Japanese and Chinese investors are present in Kisumu and to a lesser extent Kenyan Arabs . Other Kenyan ethnic groups including the neighboring Bantu Abagusii(Kisii), Abakuria(Kuria) and Abaluhya(Luhya) are domiciled in Kisumu .
The groups around Kisumu Lake Victoria(Largest fresh water lake Africa second largest after Lake Superior US/Canada worldwide) were historically referenced as Kavirondo Nilotics or the Luo(OBAMA,Actress LUPITA NYONGO,Actress SHEILA ATIM of "Woman King" groups) and Kavirondo Bantus or the Luhya(Abaluhya), Kuria(Abakuria), Kisii(Abagusii) and the smaller known Kavirondo(Abakavirondo) who were eventually assimilated by the Luo .
The Luo also assimilated the Bantu Suba, linguistically, socially, culturally and through intermarriages over centuries hence Luo-Suba of Tanganyika and Kenya .The Kavirondo preceded other Bantu groups in the region .
The Nilotic Luo also found in Kisumu are diasporic(at least 20million spread out) and settled thousands years with skilled warriors(e.g Owiny) through conquest, intermarriage and assimilation e.g Luo-Suba in Kenya, Tanzania and Luo-Babito in Uganda with tendencies for large families thanks to history of polygamy in the past like all other AFRO groups . The Luo conquered several kingdoms in the past through their southward movement and contributed to banyarwanda tutsi southwest movement to present day Rwanda/Congo, influencing rulership for Luo-babito and Baganda Kingdoms in Uganda .
Kenya Luo proper(Kenya Nationalist Tom Mboya, VP Oginga Odinga ,OBAMA ,LUPITA NYONGO ),Luo-Suba .Tanzania Luo proper, Luo-Suba ,Luo-Wasweta,Luo-Mukisero .
Uganda Luo-Langi(President Milton Obote, Gen David Oyite Ojok, Gen Smith Acak Opon, zanzibar liberator John Okello , united Tanganyika+Zanzibar=Tanzania) .
Uganda Luo-Acholi(Presidents Gen Tito Okello and Army Commander Gen Bazillio Olara Okello,Airforce Director,Maj Alfred Otto,Airforce pilots Cpt Harry Oluoch,Cpt Eric Odwar etc) .
Uganda Luo-Acholi LRA rebels against Yoweri Museveni JOSEPH KONY , Alice Auma Lakwena ,Dominic Ongwen, Vincent Otti, Okot Odhiambo,Raska Lukwiya,Nixman Oryanga,Ceaser Achellum,Bunia Ocan,Actress SHEILA ATIM-"WOMAN KING"), Uganda Luo-Padhola, Luo Alur, Luo-Kumam, Luo-Jonam,Luo-babito,Luo-jopaluo . North East Congo Luo Alur .
Historically the Nilotic Luo, led by skilled warriors such as Owiny and Lwanda Magere, fought several territorial conflicts with their Nilotic Kalenjin neighbors, particularly the Nandi and Kipsigis groups . Historically Nilotic groups including the Maasai, Turkana, Toposa, Karamoja, Samburu etc had conflicts over grazing land due to their pastoralist lifestyles .
But the Luo like other Nilotic groups were pastoralists but also were primarily river lake Nilotes(like other groups along the Nile valley) with extensive boat-making and fishing cultures due to their Origin in the Nile Valley of Sudan/Lower Egypt . In addition the Luo practiced small scale farming in the past but at a lower level compared to their neighboring Bantu groups who were primarily farmers .
Kenya's independence constitution was partly written by first US Black Chief Justice Thurgood Marshall who was friends with Kenya Nationalists Jomo Kenyatta, Oginga Odinga and Tom Mboya . Tom Mboya was a Keynote speaker at the March in Washington in 1963 and close friends of Dr. Martin Luther King, Harry Belafonte ,Andrew Young, Sidney Poitier, Ralph Abernathy and other black civil rights leaders .
They set up resources to help educate Black Kenyans denied higher education opportunities by white before Independence hence Obama father to Harvard . After Harvard where he had studied Phd Economics, Obama father worked with Nationalist Tom Mboya who was Minister Of Economic Planning and was responsible for writing Kenya's post independence Economic framework . Obama wrote about his father ,Tom Mboya and their Luo peoples .
As a guest of US Civil rights Organizer , Charles Cobb Jr. Kenya's Independence VP Oginga Odinga was once arrested in Atlanta while in Atlanta protesting against Black discrimination together with 17 other SNCC students . This was an embarrassment for the relations between US and Kenya after the state realized that they had locked up Kenya VP . He refused to leave jail until all the black students were released . His wishes were granted .
In 1963, Thurgood Marshall was responsible for writing part of Kenya's Independence constitution particularly the part on rights of racial minorities including white, asian/indian,arabs etc . Prior to Kenya Independence 1963 racial segregation in Kenya ,white 1st class citizen, asian/indian, arab second class citizen ,black kenya 3rd class .
US first Black Chief Justice responsible for writing part of Kenya’s independence constitution, Thurgood Marshall was disappointed at the post-independence polarization between Kenya Nationalists leaders President Jomo Kenyatta and VP Oginga Odinga and assassination of Nationalist Tom Mboya in 1960s . These were his close friends .
US civil rights leader Dr Martin Luther King lost his life in 1968 at age 39 and his close friend Kenya independence Nationalists Tom Mboya lost his life in 1969 at the age of 38 . Both Tom Mboya and Dr Martin Luther King had 4 kids each all below age 13 .
In KENYA in 1921 the Young Kavirondo Association was formed with initial members drawn from Central Kavirondo including Kisumu and Busia . The Luo(OBAMA,LUPITA NYONGO and WOMAN KING ACTRESS SHEILA ATIM’s Peoples) were considered the Nilotic Kavirondo while the Luhya,Kuria Kisii etc were considered the Bantu Kavirondo . The socio-politically conscious founder Members of Young Kavirondo Association were members of the first class that had joined Maseno school in 1907 under JJ Willis . The Association were part of anti-colonial movements in Kenya that was later promoted by Luo-Union in Nairobi,Mombasa,Nakuru etc and Luo Thrift across East Africa under Nationalists Oginga Odinga and Tom Mboya of Kenya and Uganda's First president Milton Obote(Luo-Langi) .
The founders of Young Kavirondo Association were trainee teachers in Maseno in 1921 . They included Jonathan Okwirri of Uyoma as Chairman . Simeon Nyende of Gem was treasurer . Benjamin Owuor of Seme was secretary . They opposed Kenya's colonization, resisted the Kipande ID system, opposed increases in the hut tax and pushed for the re-introduction of paramount chiefs .
By the second world war WWII the Luo anti-colonial sentiment spread across Kenya and East and Central Africa . The British imposed further taxes on their colonies seeking to raise resources due to the aftermath of the war . These actions by the colonial government prompted Young Kavirondo groups opposition to White rule through the clarion call of "Piny Owacho"-the people have spoken .
After WWII in 1945 the Young Kavirondo Association representing the demands of the Luo against the colonial government issued a memorandum to the governor . This included establishment of an independent legislature for Kavirondo . Reducing the hut tax . Abolishing forced ID or Kipande that was needed to travel across towns . Removal of the British Crown Colony in Kenya . Establishment of a government run school in central Kavirondo . Removal of forced labor requirements and labor camps Kavirondo and Kenya . Increasing wages and providing title deeds .
The memorandum to the Colonial government had previously been drafted in 1922 in Lundha Gem . Provincial Commissioner HR Tate together with representatives of the Colonial government and representatives of the Luo and Luhya participated in a meeting to address the demands of the Young Kavirondo Association in 1922 . The Provincial Commissioner HR Tate considered the Luo demands disrespectful . But the secretary Benjamin Owuor of YKA continued to push for a meeting with the governor .
The government accepted all the demands in the memorandum by the Luo except two . They refused to grant independence and end Kenya's status as a crown colony . They refused to offer title deeds to the local populations .
@archeradventuresx I used to think Kisumu was unsafe until two girls walked me to my hotel after a night out. That's when I realised it was fairly safe and started exploring the city.
@archeradventuresx Would I recommend you walking around on your own in strange quarters? No, I'm a 6'1" guy, but nobody will attack you out of nowhere. I've been to Kondele after midnight. All I saw was prostitutes and people hanging outside bars.
@archeradventuresx Yes, that's what shocked me, when I first visited, I asked a random Tanzanian for directions to a bar that was supposed to be around the corner. He tricked me into believing the streets were unsafe, and offered to walk me. Once I got there I realised he was a drunkard who was just after free drinks.
I try to pronounce words better for everybody here, if not people would be asking me to repeat myself all the time 😂 I think I’m developing a new accent
Every time I say “pole, sielewa Kiswahili” the person responds but you speaking Kiswahili right now like what you mean?? 🤣 So thank you, I’ll keep working on it lol 🙌🏾
