Infact these boundaries created by colonialists made us feel more separated. Before colonization, people were simply moving to stay in fresh places after feeling like the number has grown or soil and pastures are used up.
An japadhola, a luo from Uganda but heard these Tz luo very clearly. Very close to my own dhopadhola even than the Acholi who are with us within Uganda
I confess this: I didn't know that we had luo in Tz😢. Now listening to this community am amazed how big we luo are❤❤❤❤. Afwoyo win Jo luo jie kam winitye iye. A gomba romo kodi win ba. Amari win do!
True. Luo assimilates others easily because their language is easier to learn and they like dominating languages while they also find difficulties learning other languages hence making them assimilate people around them.
The overall tribe is Acholi (meaning black), Luo is the Language (also meaning to follow - the tribe that followed the river). Like the Luo followed the trying to find the source of the Nile at the same time finding human food and water and grass for the animals.
We know to recognize that all these so called clans like irarak, goria, etc, sound very close to Luo. In Padhola we have jokarwok, jorarak, jogoria. Above all we need to appreciate that Iteso and luo are both nilotes. Both originally from Ethiopian area. Luo moved to Sudan earlier due to some conflicts and adventurous nature too, settling around Bar el Ghazel for years which most history consider as luo cardle land. Whether the Kumam were among the plain nilotes or river lake nilotes doesn't remove them from being similar. Movements during migration came along with lots of experiences and transformation of which each group was affected differently by time and space. Some lost partial identity, some maintained a lot of their identity with little borrowing and some few adjustments as development. These are inevitable. Even now, we still continue to undergo transformation and developments, adopting and modifying languages, dress code, housing, foods, etc. Change is a permanent factor of life. I still believe all the nilotes could have borrowed bits of things from each other long even before migrations began. I was surprised to learn that in kupsabiny exist some words like us, the jopadhola; such as chamu che (kupsabiny) eat food similar to chami chemo (dhopadhola) eat food. Kome chair (kupsabiny) komi chair (dhopadhola).
Othieno is evening. Male born in the evening is Othieno, female is Athieno. Night is wori but sounds as wor the i is silent.Owori male, Awori female , still the i is silent
Okumu was clearly left behind because he preffered to remain with his wife who was an Ateso . The origin of Ethopia is still very correct. The Lou also were once in Ethopia before they settled in Ba el ghazel. Eastern Ethopia is very much connected to Bar el Ghazel in Sudan. As Lou reached the present Kaberamaido, they found it very fertile, near water, and lives it. Hence the statement " Ka ber amayi do!" Literally meaning: this olace is so good. I grab it from you. Therefore fought the Ateker (plain nilotes like the Iteso of today) and pushed them away from there and occupied it for some time. When Okumu married an atesot lady he opted to stay with jer near her people when the rest like Adhola, owinyi, etc, decided to move further. They would time and again miss Okumu and when they checked after years, the wife said Okumu mam meaning Okumu was not there. By then Okumu could have gone hunting because he was good at game hunting. It is believed that Okumu was also posibly having wives elsewhere and could have gone to his other wives, and the wofe simply said he was not there. Perhaps Okumu died in such errands and his brothers never saw him again. And so the descendants became jo kumam. Now, this version of reverand points that Kumam are not Luo but plain nilotes who adopted luo language. But jopadhola habe it that Kumam wete true luo who adopted a lingua franka because of intermarriage between Luo and Iteso. All seem to hold water. But, we also appreciate the fact that some of us habe little oral history from our grand fathers. So, we are probably getting fabricated story but not real history. 😅😅
Wow bro I sincerely appreciate your efforts to come up with such an amazing historical background of mine that I didn't know.... In school we studied irrelevant history and often we miss to know about our own..... Allow me appreciate you keep it up
One of the most amzing well documented real history of our Luo culture and traditions! Im proud to be a Luo...and longing to know more about our hidden rıch Luo culture! Christianity has been our downfall! Thanks so much @ KP Jaluo Abroad for everything you are doing to bring these awareness! May our great four fathers continue to guide and protect you through this incredible journey you have taken! Keep up the good work, you are very much loved and appreciated .💝🙌
But here in Kenya to be a Luo is not an easy task especially during the heated presidential elections. We are normally abused left right and centre. You can't even be proud to be a Luo
EROKAMANO this is fantastic. Give us tips on how we can make this trips to trace our roots simple budgets if possible Thank you so much. I WILL SUPPORT YOUR WORK , what you have done will be remembered for GENERATIONS . MAY GOD BLESS U AND KEEP YOU SAFE
Langi started to addopt culture and language of Luo people in 1800s the elders of now still recall Lango language e.g. "ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hxAeedsDfa4.html" Langi are not Luo but they are Ateker. No amount of intermarriage will change Langi to become a different ethnic group.
