Why does this post make me feel bad about myself? I’m Luo and the only thing I’m thinking right now is “Damn!! Kenya is owned by the Agikuyu community.” Or maybe it’s just that I choose to feel inferior- I don’t really care about that anyway. I think this kind of allusion to the Jews is way out of proportion. In other words…slow down, Jesus. You could be slipping into a superiority complex.

Love, Turner.

Hope you feel better about yourself-I think that is the difference between Kikuyus and others.Kikuyus know who they are at the very core of their beings.The rise of others doesnt reflect of their self worth.Why would you feel bad about a post that says nothing negative about your community and only talks about kikuyus-YOU Luos,Luhyas Maasais (etc) are all special your only problem is when Kikuyus feel special you feel inferior.Cant we all be special without others trying to drag each other down to feel special.You are special because God created you special not because you are superior to anyone.If luos do luo and do it well what kikuyus say or do wont matter . Have a special day

Muigwithania 2.0

“We came into the world as Kikuyu, and although We did not live our lives entirely as Kikuyu, It is only fitting that We should leave as Kikuyu. We don’t want to turn our backs on a great and noble heritage.God created Kikuyus ,The British made Kenyans ,Africans made Pan Africanism .We will die, what God created us .The Agikuyu”

I like this very much

Absolutely not…The Kikuyu culture and traditions are very far from the Jewish traditions. Kikuyus are not Jews. The Jews maintin their customs and traditions to this day. This is not true

AHH FINALY
THE LIONS HAVE AWEAKENED
Light is good it makes the seed grow
Knowledge grows through hummility and patience
The tree of knowledge has seeded truth rooted its self firmly
The soil feeding fruit as it grows sweeter as it brightens with nutrition
Eat the fruit
Feed the animal within

STAY AWEAK LIONS STAY AWEAK

Kikuyu are a Bantu group whose origins lie on the border of Nigeria/Cameroun. I do see a lot of similarities with Kikuyu and Igbo people who it si also claimed have Hebrew origins.

What one has to realize atleast in regards to Igbos no one is claiming a white culture, the claim is to a group of black and brown Hebrews who existed in Africa and Yemen as well as Canaan.There is evidence that such groups existed in Africa, and many mixed with other African groups, it is no big deal, it is just our history. It does not make any tribe better than the other. Also the Kushite admixture could have taken place already in W.Africa. There are Kushite groups in W.Africa and we have all mixed with each other, the Thagicu seem to have the characteristics of a W.African tribe especially the fact that they brought iron smelting to the area. I can always tell Kikuyu music, it sounds like Igbo spoken with a funny accent.

Bantu groups have contributed a lot in Africa’s progress, one could say almost more than any group, do not deny your Bantu heritage,it seems like in East Africa this has become a trend. In case one is wondering I am not Bantu but my mother is Igbo. Igbo are not considered Bantu but i believe they are one of the groups that contributed to the lineage of the Bantu. Like most Bantu groups the word umu, omu,umo, is used for child of , I think perhaps Igbos mixed with pygmies to form Bantu groups.

Point is we are all related, and groups like Bantu, Cushites, Nilotes, have all mixed with each other all over Africa, and some of us are actually Semites, whilst others are mixed with Semites, this in no way takes us away from being pure black African people.
