Please allow me to assist my fellow Kisii sister on a couple points from my GHC subject in my primary education in Kisii. Most populous tribes in Kenya are as follows: Kikuyu - 22 percent Luhya - 14 percent Kalenjin - 12 percent Luo - 11 percent Kamba - 9 percent Meru - 6 percent Kisii - 6 percent Somali- 6 percent. Kenya’s second president was a Kalenjin, he governed from 1978-2002, a total of 24 years, the longest serving president.
Most popular tribes in Kenya are Kikuyus, Luos, Kalenjin, Luhyas and to some extent Maasais. Ruto is the second President who is non Kikuyu, Moi who is also Kalenjin like Ruto was the first. Kisumu is a very beautiful town, the cleanest city in Kenya. Kisumu is a charming and friendly town on Lake Victoria, and the third largest city in Kenya after Nairobi and Mombasa. This vibrant city is the largest in Western Kenya and offers a rich mix of culture and nature.
Rich people are not in westlands.There are many areas outside the CBD where the rich reside. Westlands and Kilimani are a bit unkempt and congested to be honest. Runda, Muthaiga, Karen,Kitusuru and the rest is where the rich reside. It's not congested, clean and a lot of greenery.
At least 4-5million Luo in Tanganyika(Tanzania=Tanganyika mainland+Zanzibar Island),5-6million Luo in Kenya,At least 8million Luo-Alur spread across DRC Congo and Uganda and millions other Luo groups across East, Central, North/North-East Africa etc .
The Luo of Sudan/Lower Egypt including the Luo-Bor,Luo-Jur Chol and Luo-Balanda have at least 1000 clans which represent the historical Nilotic Luo federal system of governance . Other Nilotic groups like the Maasai of Kenya and Tanzania also maintain clan system(kinship) . The Luo of Kenya have at least 35-47 distinct clans some of which spread into Tanganyika . The Luo-padhola of Uganda have at least 60 clans with 20 assimilated clans .
Kenya, as of 2021 at least 43 groups including Kikuyu 17.1%(roughly 8million), Luhya 14.3%, Kalenjin 13.4%, Luo 10.7%, Kamba 9.8%, Somali 5.8%, Kisii 5.7%, Mijikenda 5.2%, Meru 4.2%, Maasai 2.5%, Turkana 2.1%, non-Kenyan 1%, other 8.2% . Kenya population 1963 8-9million and in 2024 54-56 million . Nairobi population before 1980 less than 500K in 2024 5-6million .

Kisumu is in western part of Kenya . In post Independence Kenya Kisumu was in Nyanza province . Under British Colonization the territories south of Kisumu were considered South Nyanza, those close to Kisumu, Central Nyanza and those North of Kisumu, North Nyanza . Present day Western Province primarily inhabited by Luhya groups was North Nyanza . Kisumu was the capital of Eastern Uganda , under British East Africa . The capital of British East Africa was Mombasa .
The groups around Lake Victoria were historically referenced as Kavirondo Nilotics or the Luo 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 kavirondo preceded other Bantu groups in the region . The Luo also assimilated the Bantu Suba, linguistically, socially, culturally and through intermarriages over centuries .
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 .
During white British colonial rule in the continent of Africa 19th/20th century , some white South Africans(Dutch Afrikaners) were moved by the British from South Africa to Kenya(both white British Settler Colonies) and populated the Rift Valley farm lands of Kenya also called white highlands including Nakuru Kenya .
The white in Kenya were from Elite backgrounds of Irish, British , Scottish etc extraction and considered farming brute hence the movement of Dutch South Africans to Kenya to work as farmers . These Elite whites include Lord Egerton and Lord Dalamere . The British considered the White Dutch Afrikaners from South Africa inferior illiterate whites hence relegated to farming , hunting etc in Kenya . The white South Africans also had establishments in Kenya capital Nairobi Kenya .
Lord Dalamere a White colonial British Kenyan aristocracy ,was one of the largest landowners in colonial Kenya history and his descendants are still part of present day White Kenyan demographic(1-2million) including post independence arrivals to present .
The Dalameres owned 48000 acres of Land in Elementaita, Soysambu conservancy,40km south of Nakuru, Kenya and 100km from Nairobi Kenya . Lord Dalmere's grandson Tom Cholmondeley was jailed in 2005 for eliminating two black Kenyans he accused of trespassing his farm . He died after leaving jail in 2016 .
The Nilotic Luo are diasporic(at least 20-25million spread out at least 9-12 territories including Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya ,DRC Congo, Chad, Central Africa Republic, Sudan/Lower Egypt, Ethiopia Gambella/Eritrea, Cameroon Luo- Bantu assimilated by late 1990's) and settled thousands years with skilled warriors(e.g Owiny,Adhola Obando Mumbo, Ogutu Kipapi, Lela Kabanda, Tawo Kogot, Onyango Randar, Oracha Rambo, Lwanda Magere and others) through conquest, intermarriage and assimilation e.g Luo-Suba in Kenya, Tanzania and Luo-Babito/Luo-Langi/Luo-Kumam in Uganda with tendencies for large families thanks to history of polygamy in the past like all other AFRO groups .
Other Assimilated groups in Kenya and Tanzania included Luo-Marachi(Abamarachi),Luo-Wasweta(Abasweta),Luo-Kavirondo(Abarondo),Luo-Kanjuro(Abanjuro),Luo-Mikiria(Abakiria),Luo-Basi(Ababasi),Luo-Mugirango(Abagirango) . The Kavirondo were the original occupants of the L.Victoria region in Western Kenya before Luo occupation and assimilation .
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 under Bunyoro Kitara and Baganda Kingdoms in Uganda .
Kenya Luo proper(Kenya Nationalist Tom Mboya, VP Oginga Odinga ,Lawyer Argwings Kodhek,OBAMA ,LUPITA NYONGO ),Luo-Suba . Tanzania Luo proper(Timothy Apiyo, head of public service and Chief secretary under president Julius Nyerere), Luo-Suba,Luo-Wasweta,Luo-Mukisero .
Uganda Luo-Langi(President Milton Obote, Army chief of staff Gen David Oyite Ojok, Gen Smith Acak Opon, Lt Col John Charles Ogole, zanzibar liberator John Gideon Okello , united Tanganyika+Zanzibar=Tanzania) .
Uganda Luo-Acholi(Presidents Gen Tito Okello and Army Commander Gen Bazillio Olara Okello,Airforce Director,Maj Alfred Otto, Major Stephen Abili,Airforce pilots Cpt Harry Oluoch,Cpt Eric Odwar etc) .

The Nilotic Luo of Kenya(OBAMA, ACTRESS LUPITA NYONGO GROUP) are an amalgamation of the Luo-Acholi,Luo-Alur,Luo-Padhola,Luo-Jonam,Luo-Langi,Luo-Jopaluo of Uganda(PRESIDENTS MILTON OBOTE,GEN TITO OKELLO,WOMAN KING ACTRESS SHEILA ATIM,LRA REBEL JOSEPH KONY etc) and admixtures of other groups in Kenya such as the Bantu AbaSuba,AbaLuhya and extents of AbaKuria and Abagusii.
The first group of Luo to arrive in Kenya the Jok were the Pajok from Luo-Acholi in Uganda,they were followed after 200 years by the Padhola from the Luo-Padhola of Uganda headed by Owiny a skilled warrior and father of Adhola in Kenya they settled in Bunyala after teaming up with the Jok.Later the Luo-Alur followed after 100 years as the Jok Omollo headed to Tanganyika, Tanzania AND South Nyanza, Kenya .
The Owiny group under Luo-Padhola provided the first King to the Wanga Kingdom in Mumias in a place called God Wanga.The Luhya of Wanga share kinship with the Luo through this amalgamation . Also the same applies to the Luhya of Bunyala the Abamanyala . The brother of Owila from the Luo Owiny group ,who had participated in the formation of Wanga, was called Nyadundo( a famous Kenyan musician Ohangla uses the same name Tony Nyadundo) . Nyadundo was the ancestor of the Luhya Tiriki the Abatiriki .
When Wanga and Owila moved to Mumias they provided the 1st King of the Wanga Nabongo . Owila and son of Wanga Matara would later go to Alego Uyoma forming the Jobayoma of the Luo and they would later settle in Sakwa Bondo . The Jok Omollo would also move to South Nyanza providing ancestry to Gor Mahia through Ogallo.Gor Mahia son of Ogada and grandson of Ogallo was a powerful 18th century Luo leader and medicine man with unusual powers who predicted white rule .
The borders are artificial Maasai of Kenya, Tanzania . Somali of Kenya ,Ethiopia, Djibouti, Somalia . Luhya of Kenya, Uganda .

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 Kisii(Abagusii), Kuria(Abakuria) and Luhya(Abaluhya) are domiciled in Kisumu .
In addition to Kisumu, and other Kenya, Tanzania towns like Mwanza, Musoma, Arusha, Dar es Salaam ,Dodoma etc the Nilotic Luo are found in several urban areas in EAST,CENTRAL,NORTH-EAST AFRICA. These include Jinja, Kampala, Tororo, Gulu in Uganda, Khartoum and Juba in Sudan, Bunia, Beni, Butembo in DRC Congo, Gambella Ethiopia, Cairo Egypt etc . The largest population of Kenya Luo in Uganda is in Pakwach .
There is a small museum in Kisumu on the history and also there is a museum of Luo history in Pakwach(Ker Panyimur Kwonga Chiefdom in Jonam County of Pakwach district) Uganda . Also Makerere University in Uganda and University of Nairobi Kenya documents Luo History in addition to the National Archives and National Museum in Nairobi Kenya .
The Nilotic Luo also participated in Modern Liberation movements in the continent including in Sudan alongside the Nilotic Nuer and Dinka . In Ethiopia the Luo-Anywaa in Gambella . In Uganda including first Independent Uganda president Milton Obote(There is Obote Road in Kisumu) who was friends with Kenya Nationalist Oginga Odinga . They both attended Uganda's Makerere University and were founders of Kenya's Independence party . In Congo DRC the Luo-Alur fought alongside Laurent Kabila in Eastern Congo against Mobutu Sese Seko . And the Luo of Tanzania participated in Independence movements first against the Germans then the British .
I didn't think there was a dog culture in Africa After Ali V foreman fight in Congo! George fore man landed at the airport with his pet dog in a leash and was hated so much! 90k African's chanted Ali bomaye! (Ali kill Him) watch the movie ALI. because the colonizer used the dogs to hunt and torture Africans that's why people run because the images were published on TV of dogs biting black Africans! and now that u r in Africa learn to exchange pleasantries in local language! don't say hi, hallo no u come out touristic! the people curiosity is aroused then take long to reply to the different accent or not reply at all! so use the slang words for hi or hallo u will get 100% reply! enjoy your time in motherland
Tribalism isn't a disease it's good to be proud of your tribe,the ancestors of our tribes have carried our lineages for thousands of years we have to respect our tribal identity, loving your tribal identity doesn't mean you hate anybody else,and if you did any research about kenya you would know there was tribal clashes in 2007
@@Brian-bo4bz It's a new era. Sure, tribal pride is important but the Gen Z's almost changed and united the African world this past summer. One of their platforms - no more tribalism. It almost worked. Looks we're gonna slide backwards. Carry on!
If you knew anything about Kenyan politics you would know that the tribeless tag in the recent demonstrations was just a mobilizing slogan,even during the protests people were throwing tribal slurs and a tribal political pact is what ended the protests, people from the opposition regions of the coast and lake Victoria region were given cabinet appointments and everyone including gen z in those regions stopped protesting,the hottest topic in kenya right now two months later is the Mount kenya region and their politics, we were our tribes before the British came and made this country called Kenya, tribal identity precedes national identity so stop guilt tripping people for identifying as their ethnicities, if we adopt this tribeless narrative we become like ships without anchors and start floating around with western ideologies because the kenyan national identity is heavily influenced by colonial history and western influence, black Americans identity as black and American, black is their ethnic identity and American their national,same to latin Americans and Jewish Americans, Jews identifying as Jewish then Americans never stopped them from being successful so stop scapegoating tribal pride for negative impacts that have nothing to do with it
Kenya is what it is because of our diversity which we don't view as a bad thing, we are proud of it, you think a Kenyan Somali from the north eastern region has the same culture as a luo from lake Victoria region? One is a nomadic pastoralist community heavily centered on camel herding while the other is Nilotic and heavily reliant on fishing,tribe is not just names its rooted in ancestry,cultural norms and beliefs and some are very different,so we should all forget our cultures and become these westernized English speaking city dwelling people with our primary cultural identity being the heavily western influenced modern Kenyan identity that was formed from British colonialism and view that as progress? We take the best of both worlds and put our cultures together to build a country we are proud of, ethnic pride is the grassroot,if you can't be proud of your ethnic identity you can't be proud of your national or racial identity,it starts from the bottom going up not the other way around
Even the term gen z comes from America and has nothing to do with how Africans arranged their age sets,the whole baby boomers, millennials and gen z are western influences on Africans
Corruption is everywhere. And life doesn't oscillate in nairobi alone. There is upcountry which is waaay cheaper. Yeah tribalism is all over africa. You can't move out of it. Same case as there is racism in Europe, americas and Asia. You choose your poison which suits you.

Do you think there’s anything else the diaspora should know before moving to Nairobi?
@@4thecultureco Diasporas of African decent should learn that Nairobi is an extremely welcoming city where they can quickly assimilate & make it their home. Nairobi offers the feel of living in an American or western city & Africa all in one. It is multi cultural & the best bet for Diasporas of African decent to establish thriving communities. Kenyans love it to see Black Americans joining em in their own country. To em it adds a new flavor & vibrancy in our society
@@maxwellkariuki2930 i know you are the biggest advocate of this but why are black americans avoiding their ancestral lands in west africa? why not cultural awareness. in africa you have to fit somewhere..
@@perezscholes9110 Some countries in west Africa are already recognizing the Afro diasporans by offering citizenship to those who can prove their origin to the said country. Some are having gene traces even as far as kenya due to earlier African migration.
African people are one people divided by colonial bounderies that you seem to put so much faith on. Im just wondering why you think it would be a problem to welcome back our folks to da continent? Are you being paid by imperialists or what?
dont make sense .its documented who sold them to whites ..what tribes. who are imperialists btw the DNA is being done to identify their tribes. you are all over the place@maxwellkariuki2930.
@@perezscholes9110 What’s your point my friend? Africa didn’t have the present day bounderies prior to colonization & more so during the transatlantic slave trade. I hope you’re not laying emphasis on the arificially created colonial boundaries.

When Wanga and Owila moved to Mumias they provided the 1st King of the Wanga Nabongo .
Owila and son of Wanga Matara would later go to Alego Uyoma forming the Jobayoma of the Luo and they would later settle in Sakwa Bondo .
The Jok Omollo would also move to South Nyanza providing ancestry to Gor Mahia through Ogallo.Gor Mahia son of Ogada and grandson of Ogallo was a powerful 18th century Luo leader and medicine man with unusual powers who predicted white rule .

George fore man landed at the airport with his pet dog in a leash and was hated so much! 90k African's chanted Ali bomaye! (Ali kill Him) watch the movie ALI. because the colonizer used the dogs to hunt and torture Africans that's why people run because the images were published on TV of dogs biting black Africans! and now that u r in Africa learn to exchange pleasantries in local language! don't say hi, hallo no u come out touristic! the people curiosity is aroused then take long to reply to the different accent or not reply at all! so use the slang words for hi or hallo u will get 100% reply! enjoy your time in motherland

@@BillyJames-l6x Nairobi is a country within Kenya. Outside Nairobi no opportunities career wise.
She can't even mention the tribes without having to be careful about offending groups. Tribalism- the Black world's sickness.
Tribalism isn't a disease it's good to be proud of your tribe,the ancestors of our tribes have carried our lineages for thousands of years we have to respect our tribal identity, loving your tribal identity doesn't mean you hate anybody else,and if you did any research about kenya you would know there was tribal clashes in 2007
@@Brian-bo4bz It's a new era. Sure, tribal pride is important but the Gen Z's almost changed and united the African world this past summer. One of their platforms - no more tribalism. It almost worked. Looks we're gonna slide backwards. Carry on!
If you knew anything about Kenyan politics you would know that the tribeless tag in the recent demonstrations was just a mobilizing slogan,even during the protests people were throwing tribal slurs and a tribal political pact is what ended the protests, people from the opposition regions of the coast and lake Victoria region were given cabinet appointments and everyone including gen z in those regions stopped protesting,the hottest topic in kenya right now two months later is the Mount kenya region and their politics, we were our tribes before the British came and made this country called Kenya, tribal identity precedes national identity so stop guilt tripping people for identifying as their ethnicities, if we adopt this tribeless narrative we become like ships without anchors and start floating around with western ideologies because the kenyan national identity is heavily influenced by colonial history and western influence, black Americans identity as black and American, black is their ethnic identity and American their national,same to latin Americans and Jewish Americans, Jews identifying as Jewish then Americans never stopped them from being successful so stop scapegoating tribal pride for negative impacts that have nothing to do with it
Kenya is what it is because of our diversity which we don't view as a bad thing, we are proud of it, you think a Kenyan Somali from the north eastern region has the same culture as a luo from lake Victoria region? One is a nomadic pastoralist community heavily centered on camel herding while the other is Nilotic and heavily reliant on fishing,tribe is not just names its rooted in ancestry,cultural norms and beliefs and some are very different,so we should all forget our cultures and become these westernized English speaking city dwelling people with our primary cultural identity being the heavily western influenced modern Kenyan identity that was formed from British colonialism and view that as progress? We take the best of both worlds and put our cultures together to build a country we are proud of, ethnic pride is the grassroot,if you can't be proud of your ethnic identity you can't be proud of your national or racial identity,it starts from the bottom going up not the other way around
Even the term gen z comes from America and has nothing to do with how Africans arranged their age sets,the whole baby boomers, millennials and gen z are western influences on Africans
