1. Luoz - are all over the world yaani diasporic, highly educated and articulate. I mean Obama type of people... They will die supporting
Arsenal FC, Brazil , All Blacks, Harambee Stars and Gor Mahia.
2. Luos - are born and raised in Kisumu, probably went to Kisumu
Boys/Girls High schools, then joined Maseno University or Kisumu Poly,
work along Oginga Odinga Street in Kisumu and have never travelled past
Ahero! They adore boda boda and Guinness.
3. Jeng' - were probably born and raised in Nai (read Nairobi ),
lived in Lang'ata or surrounding. Have been to shags once or twice for
grandy's funeral coz paros insisted. Says his/her shags is In upcountry
somewhere in Nyanza. You say "amosi omera" to them and they respond
"niaje jo vipi". And they are only seen during Gor and AFC matches at
City Stadium.
4. Mjaluo - was born in Mombasa , speaks swahili sanifu, broken
English and no mother tongue. Full names are Otieno Abdalla or Anyango
Amina.. Is a Muslim, lives in Ganjoni or surrounding and thinks Kisumu
people are "watu wa bara".
5. Wajaka - are born and raised in Eastlands
predominantly Ololo, Okongo, Jeri, Salem , Bangla, Ofaro, Marish, Mbote,
and Huruma. They have never gone past Ungem and they only know that they
are Luos because of their second names. They know Kisumu is a town near
Nakuru, where you pass ukiishiia kwa kina mbuyu..
N/B.
All of the above have some things in common i.e;
* They throw stones anyhow, anytime.
* They vandalize the railway in Kibera (whatever their location)
* They don't read Katiba because someone reads for them.
