SIMILARITIES Between Luo People Of Kenya And Igbo People Of Nigeria 

Y'all claim anything and everything, yeye people. Y'al Jews also, right? Mumus

All th3se yrs ans centuries we relat3d to 99jas🤣🤣🤣🤣. When you hear that they want s0mething

There is no "Kenyan DNA...." In present day Kenya live Nilotics, Bantus, Swahili peoples, etc.

Thank you.

My friend, Igbos don't dominate music in Nigeria. Yorubas to some extent are more dominant in music producing the best African musician of all time, Fela Kuti. They have music maestros like King Sunny Ade , Ebenezer Obe, Lagbaja, Shina Peters, Wiskid, Davido, etc. Majek Fashek was born to a Yoruba father and a Bini mother but grew up in Benin City. He saw himself more as a Bini man because he grew up there in Benin. The Yoruba have produced more renowned musicians than any other tribe and it has been like that for decades but I can say that Igbo to some extent dominate the acting scene in English language. You are right on that.There are Yoruba Nollywood and Hausa kannywood but the English drama or acting scene is more dominated by Igbo people. Concerning football, I can say that before the Igbo dominated that with Okocha, Uche Okechukwu, Michel Obi,Ben Iroha , Uche Okafor, etc but the current national team of Nigeria is more balanced compared to before. There is no one dominated tribe at present in the first eleven. Anyway, we are all Nigerians and we should be happy about that. I am not a Yoruba but I just wanted to correct the areas you were wrong in.

@@terminateurextra-ordinaire3925 Again, another biased Yorober liar as usual. How many goalkeepers has Yorober produced in Nigeria football in the last 40 years compared to Igbos? And even in the current Nigerian team, how many Yorobers are there as against the Igbos? Mention them one by one? How cleverly you ended with the notion that, "we're all Nigerians" for the cover up. Nice try mate.😅😅👍

@@dermotwallace5533 It's clear that you are not a Nigerian. I thought that you are a Nigerian. Where is Peter Rufai from? He is from the Southwest. Where is Ike Shorumu from? He is from the Southwest.They were both keepers for the national team but Peter Rufai was a first eleven goalkeeper and one of the best keepers of all time, if not the best. What about the recent team? Ademola Lookman is from the Southwest. Semi Ajayi is from the Southwest and Ola Aina is also from the Southwest. They are among the first eleven. There is a reserve goalkeeper, Leye Ojo from the Southwest too. I thought that you know Nigerian players and keepers but you don't know them! You don't know anything about music in Nigeria and you don't know anything about football too. You made all the mistakes. I AM NOT A YORUBA MAN but just trying to correct you. I believe in facts irrespective of the tribes.Why should I deny my tribe if I were a Yoruba man? I have never seen a Yoruba man that denied his tribe and the same thing with Igbo or Fulani ,etc. No Nigerian denies his tribe except a few exceptions if they exist. I am from the Southsouth but I don't believe in tribalism and claiming to be better than others, etc. I hate it. I love all tribes in Nigeria and that is why I tried to correct you. I know that Igbo people are slightly dominant in football in Nigeria and I said that before but in the first eleven at present , it's almost balanced with people from different tribes unlike before in 1994 team where almost six or more players in the first team were Igbo. Once again, we are all Nigerians and no need to have I AM BETTER THAN OTHERS MENTALITY. All tribes in Nigeria are blessed in one way or the other. Igbo people are gifted in commerce and sports, Yoruba in the music and sports. Hausa and Fulani have some latent potential in them too but they are not that active and utilising the potential at present perhaps because of religious belief. Later on the potential will be revealed. The Southsouth is gifted in sports and music too. Burna Boy, Rema,Oris Wiliki, the Mandators, Daddy Showkey, the late Ras Kimono, Sunny Okosun and Sir Victor Uwaifo,etc were all from there. Majek Fashek was claiming that he is a Bini man because he grew up there with his Bini mother. His father is Yoruba. Goalkeeper Enyeama, Ekong, Finidi George, Victor Osihmen, Victor Ikpeba, Wilson Oruma, Samson Siasia, etc are from the Southsouth.

Yes Okwara is an Igbo name, you're right. In fact a once popular but now late gospel musician in the south East of Nigeria went by the name Okwara Ezema

Really. Wow

You are right,i have been asking this an to why some Rwandis Look like kikuyus of kenya

You should now listen to the Luhya of Kenya, they are the closest to eswatini and Zulu

You are all bantu speakers, what's the surprise?

​​@@ewm4266luyahs ,zulu and Xhosa even share some words

In Igbo, nye means means wife.

Is the meaning same.

What does the name mean in Luo? I'm Igbo.

I have heard Odemba

😂

And we are unbugeble

Sorry we can not help you if you're not proud of who you're Igbos are 😊

Wow. Thank you for this lesson. I’m from Zimbabwe and when I got my DNA results, I saw I have traces in Cameroon and East Africa. I guess that’s the Bantu migration! My husband is from Abia state so that was another interesting thing I learnt today!

The Igbos are a mysterious people that can't really be categorised into any group. On the appearance side, they look very "Bantus" but on the culture side they relate more with the neighbouring people. I would categorised them as a Proto-Bantu people who preferred to remain rather than migrate south and eastward

@@high-commisioner1954 You’ve got me reading up on this!

We actually trace our origin from Congo river we are kwa speaking people

Who told you that ?

We have that fighting spirit. During the Civil war in Nigeria in the 1960's, the Igbos were defiant against the British and did not want to be puppets of the British and felt that we wanted to preserve our children's future. We are not excited about being in a photograph with a white person like some other ppl. Igbo women traders fought against paying their hard-earned income in taxes to the lazy queen of the english ppl. They openly fought back against that. We have very low tolerance to nonsense.

And that was why Kenyatta kidnapped Nnamdi Kanu in Kenya because he knows that once the Igbos get freedom, then the Lua will not be marginal in Kenya politics. Odinga is Lua with Igbo name. Odi it is, and Nga is home

The two most dominant paternal Y dna haplogroup in Africa is E1b1b( amhara, Somali, Oromo,etc) and E1b1A( Luhya, lou, Akan, Abagusi, Ga,Nedebe, Buganda,, Wolof, Nguni, zulu, Tiv.) Both these two came from the same father. All Bantu people carry e1b1a including the Ibo. Yes so so-called Bantu and Ibo share the same paternal lineage, and yes same " blood klaaat" fada/father. Go study genetics. So this explains the similarities. Now should I mention the MTDNA the maternal side? There are 7 maternal Y dna in Africa that produce all Africans. Only those who possess E1b1A contain within thier DNA the seven maternal DNA. The Luhya for instance covers the the entire spectrum from lo to l7. Genetic studies demonstrate close relationship between the Luhya, Yoruba and Buganda kingdoms. Genetic studies also show that many African Americas and Jamaicans like my self possess Luhya Y dna belonging to the E1b1A family- the bantu Paternal Y dna haplogroup

Igbos also have Okongwu, others are Okoli, Okeke, Okafor, Okoye, Okolie😅

In Ghana come is "Bla" and others also use the word "Bra"! I think we the Ghanaians and Nigerians don't know each other that well interms of cultural differences. It's time that we should at least try to see if some of us in Ghana are related to either Igbo, Yoruba,etc. There's a tribe in both Ivory coast and Ghana called "ANYI" and Ife-anyi too is a common name.

​@@kwaku8483We Dinka say Bera, or bar, means come.

@@waipancholwaingor Eii😱 oh my God really.. that's interesting, amazing! In Ghana, the Ivory coast some others say Bla, Bra, Ba. So the Dinka people live in which African countries if you don't mind? Thanks 😊 for letting me know this, I am going to do a research about the Dinka tribe, history, culture, and language. I hope to find some connection there cultural wise, we might even speak the same dialects. Thank you so much, my brother, Ciao!🥸👍

I'm concluding the same thing: Not "coincidence"! There seems to have been a lot of scattering of Africans on the Continent in recent past. A lot had to do with the evil invaders from outside of Africa, which caused many Africans to flee westward and southward on the Continent. This fleeing was, and still is, a Huge Mistake; because today we have this nonsense term 'sub-saharan', as if to imply the nonsense that there is other than One Kind of Africans -- Black pigmentation, and with the signature 'African Hair'.

Exactly 💯 to me is not a conscedence. I'm thinking they re the same group of people living in different part of the continent of Africa!

The white colonizers were racist assholes for sure. But I give credit for doing the donkey work to classify the languages and ethnic groups; it's not easy work. They wanted to divide and conquer for sure. But that has nothing to do with classification of the languages and ethnic groups. They have been gone for some time now, but Kenyans do a superb job of dividing themselves without their help.

Well said!I agree with you fully,that's why us Africans we are lost because we believed each and everything that the colonies told us,the intention just to separate and divide Africans.

@@blessingblessings8123 They don’t educate themselves.They don’t care to do their own research just follow white myths like fools .We are at an age where smart Africans are questioning everything colonial masters wrote about us ,most which were lies like we are lazy we are weak etc ,just because they grouped us into nilotes and Bantus we Kenyans just follow like fools .We don’t question we don’t study we just defend the white theories .It’s a shaming

BS..

Are you saying suffering is in the DNA of Igbos and Luos?

Yes that's true

Igbo not ibo

You peeped it...the tonality is heavy like our Igbo

Yes, he does

LOL.. Which Igbos moved from Sudan? Can you expatiate (explain further)?

Dey play😂😂

Luos came from Egypt, through Sudan into East Africa

​@@macaulay1776Some Igbos actually moved from the Egypt/Sudan area to Igboland. If you have studied Igbo history very well, you won't be surprised. Here's something to point some Igbos from that area. Some smaller pyramids were built in Igboland and there are pictures to confirm it. Although, those pyramids have been vandalized and no longer exist but for the fact they existed in Igboland means that some Igbos most likely had carried the idea from Egypt/Sudan area. It is doubtful though if there's any real link between Igbos and Luos even with the name similarities. The key thing should be if the names mean the same thing which definitely will make both languages to sound alike but I don't think most of the names sound alike neither do the languages appear even close. What we have is just mere coincidence.

​@@igbounitedforum3386and in luo land we have small pyramids as well 😮😮

I found Kenyans as a whole speak English better than my home country of birth Australia, despite knowing their mother tongue, Kiswahili and English (Kizungu)

English is not our mother language so that not a yardstick to measure one intelligence..

So you take pride in the " nasty langauge of your colonizers"?

Because it became a colony at some point

They could be similar but the point is "do they have the same meaning?"

There us more simillerity like the names,luos share some names with Igbo.I work with one and i used to ask him,that why we luos share names with Igbo?? So funny

They are both LOUD too, but I think all Nigerians are loud😁

I can see Njogu and I Igbo, we have Njoku.😮

@@exodus2022 They have Okech, which is Ogechi in Igbo. They have Ojukwu and Odera with same meanings. The Luos are indeed, Igbos.

@@dermotwallace5533 Okech is actually okechi in Igbo and Igbos actually have ogechi.

ọ bụ eziokwu!

We share a lot of words .

Western Sudan and Eastern Nigeria is not as far as you might think. People need to ignore borders when looking for similarities between Igbo and Luos.

In school we were taught luos are nilotes while Igbo are bantus(Bantu and nilotes have totally different culture). Know am wondering did they cheat us?

@@benardghasio5977 There is nothing like total difference in culture between these groups, years of interaction bring similarity at some point. Eg Kikuyu and Maasai, Luo and Luhya. What I think remains distinct is language.

@@benardghasio5977 point of correction. Igbos are not bantu. And FYI there are more language groups in africa than your bantu, nilote, cushite taught to you in (moribund) kenyan education system.

Nice vlog, you mean?lol

IGBOS are Nilosaharans. Luos from Kenya and Dinkas from south sudan are both Nilots

Ijaw - The Ijaw people living in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria are considered closely related to the Luo. Both groups speak languages from the Potomac-Congo B branch of languages. They share similarities in myths, ceremonial practices, and naming customs. Kalabari - The Kalabari tribe of Rivers State, Nigeria has historical and linguistic connections to the Luo. It's believed they migrated from Kenya/East Africa to Nigeria many centuries ago. Their languages retain these ties. Ibibio - Genetic and cultural evidence links groups like the Ibibio people of Akwa Ibom and Cross River States in Nigeria to the Luo lineages. The two groups both originated near the Congo-Sudan borderlands before likely separating. Annang - The Annang community from Akwa Ibom State migrated alongside other Cross River Igbo people like Ibibio ancestors and are thus also considered distantly related to Kenyan Luo people.

Arua is a Luo name

The Lugbara are part of a larger group which includes the Madi, Avukaya and Logo of Uganda and DRC. Ma’di oral history claims Nigeria as their place of origin. According to the one commonly told oral narrative, the Ma’di people left Nigeria, moved southward until they reached Amadi, a town in southwest Sudan, where they settled. The word Amadi in Ma’di language means here we are. It also means, at our place. The Acholi have absorbed Madi elements and the Luos of the Great Lakes region settled with the Moru in Northern Uganda before going separate ways. The Moru/Muru Chief was called Mogi and that's why the settlement was named Lamogi.

​@@kr3539this is interested Amadi has a similar meaning in igbo language

The Arua of Uganda and the Acholi (Luo) of Uganda are first cousins. The two groups were formed from two brothers (same father and mother)

​@@preciouschild1246we have many Aruas in my own part of igbo land.

That has nothing to do with it.They have more similarities

@likatalikata who told you that kikuyus are good at business 😅😅,it's the corruption they are best at,Luo's are hardworking people! when I say that I mean by real sweat,Luo's don't like stealing from people,but when you come to kikuyus side they are well known, infact their women are the worst,they can robb your precious life because of money or wealth,please Google more 😢.

@@blessingblessings8123 just like kikuyus the igbo's, who do well in business, have always been stereotyped as thieves.The Luos have more in common with the Yoruba's Academia excellence ,flamboyancy.and living in largesse

@@blessingblessings8123 lol It’s so true.Kikuyus were told by the whites that they are better than the rest of Kenyans .They had no idea it was divide and conquer a special tools whites use on foolish Africans .They still believe their colonial masters .All tribes in Kenya are great at business but opportunity was given to the Kikuyus now they are lost after voting a bad leader ,how foolish of them to say they are punishing an outgoing President (did they think he will care)They are the ones to suffer now.They will never be smart .

Somalis are business people of Kenya

We have luos in Congo ,Ethiopia

google "african language groups" and you will see sooner than you can say your last name that there are more language groups than those 3 you mentioned. Kenya is not all of africa, Africa is very large. Educate yourself and free oneself from the nonsense kenyan education system

@@SGOA32178 I know that damn well that Africa has 53 countries and we are all different but we have similarities.I have educated myself damn well on Africa and how we allow the white narrative to control us and how we will not do our own homework,use our own sense to see that we have similarities.Their is a South African language is similar to Luhyas ,Uganda don’t know which one in Uganda ,Zambia etc..I am not here to write much but to tell you that we must be smart and not accept what is given to us by those who came to divide us.

You are on point but we cannot be completely sure about the validity of the NILO-SAHARAN language anyways and apart from the Kanuri, another Nilo-Saharan people found in Nigeria are the Songhai speakers and in Nigeria we call them "Zarma" and "Denda" I see the common features between the Igbo of Nigeria and Luo of Kenya as just coincidence. Even the political dynamics of both groups in their respective countries also show lots of similarities.

true

It's funny you said that because l keep telling lgbos in Nigeria that they are related to the kanuris.Well,because names like kanu that's a very common lgbo name must be a kanu-ri word.

We have luos in Congo too

We have to also be aware that language is not the only identifier. Some communities are the result of merging groups or even absorption of the language and/or culture of another group. When I heard that there may be some Luos in Nigeria, my first thought went to the Yorubas because, I guessed, they are the ones with O and A names.

So what is your point exactly?

Have you witnessed the Igbo pride before...ask a Nigerian what they don't like about the Igbos... instantly they will tell you that the Igbos show off too much and are a very stubborn people lol

@@DarlingtonIyke they show off thier hardwork and investment back to thier land and again who on earth will brag of thier wealth come on are a luo?

Very interesting! Amadi is a common Igbo name. Amadi literally means a son of the soil as opposed to a son born elsewhere.

There's lighter skinned South Sudanes though. Suba aka Abasuba is among Bantu ethnic group that basically was absorbed into Luo community via intermarriages or adaptions...was smaller in # and close in proximity

@@SafetyTips.Learning They're not South Sudanese.

Thank you, these comparison are getting annoying because people have now started claiming Igbos are Luo. It doesn't even make sense from a historically perspective. The Igbo were well established when the Luo started migrating and they outnumber us.

Naaa... you don’t seek the Europeans to tell or define an African’s identity. They know little of us and the best they can give is what you speak of and besides all these, some of what you hinge on are weaponized ways of segregating people in order to easily conquer or subjugate. Why was Africa sliced up like diced pineapples?🤔

No geneticists are even attempting to make the connections in the first place but why as a Jamaican do I have 11.3% Kenyan genetics (some being Nilotic) when it wasn’t a slave coast in the transatlantic?

The Luos did not start from Niger/Congo River. Luo comes from the word "LUWO" which means following. The Luo were interested in finding the source of the River Nile as such, it is believed that their migration begun in Egypt through Ethiopia, South Sudan, to Uganda from where they spread to Kenya, Tanzania, Congo and Zambia. Some are believed to have transversed to West Africa. Researchers have found evidence placing Luos in Senegal and Nigeria albeit with extinct linguistic lineages. In Uganda, South Sudan, Congo, Tanzania, Kenya, Mozambique and Ethiopia, there are many luo subtribes to-date.

Not true .There are luos in Niger Congo too

Kenyan Luo is found in the Nilo-Saharan\Eastern-Sudanic\Nilotic\Western Nilotic\Luo\Southern Luo\Adhola-Alur-Luo\Adhola-Luo linguistic branch Igbo is found in the Niger-Congo\Atlantic-Congo\Volta-Congo\Volta-Niger\Igboid\Nuclear Igboid branch. Bantu languages in general are in the Niger-Congo\Volta-Congo\Benue-Congo\Bantoid\Southern Bantoid. The closest Nigerian groups to Bantus are the Tiv and related ethnicities. I acknowledge complexity because while language can act as a proxy for genetic connectedness, there are factors that can change this. For instance, genetically, Kenyan Luo are not purely Nilotic, having had close interactions with neighboring Bantu groups The Suba, who are generally recognized as Luo, were a Bantu ethnic group in the not so distant past. But generally, Bantu people are genetically more related to Nigerian and most West African groups than are Nilo-Saharans.

This history being taught in Kenya about Luos should stop ....Luos are found in 7 or 8 countries I.e Tanzania,Kenya,Uganda,Ethiopia,Congo,Sudan n Chad.....Uganda holding so many Luo subtribes e.g Acholi,Alur,Padhola,Lango,etc..Ethiopia has Shilluk n gambella,Sudan Acholi,Pari,Jur chol etc,Chad has Maban,Congo has Alur,Tanzania has Luo same as Kenya....people think Luos are only found in Kenya...Kunam speaks like 60%Luo n 40%Teso.

@@maureenogaye7323 I don't know which history you are referring to. I happen to know that Luos are widespread as your well informed evidence confirms.
