Weuh. When our parents from Murima warned us about andu a ruguru , this is part of what they warn us about. Mila haieleweki and goes against Christian norms.
@Simiyu22 and @mundu_mulosi hebu educate us about burial rites. I thought Otuoma was a Luo but it’s like he was a luhya? Are the Mila the same for luos and luhyas ?
A lot of nonsense though some of it used to serve specific purposes esp kuzuia umalaya… unfortunately its still practised in some parts of western kwanza kwa wazee…Those under 50 have done away with lots of this stuff

Names that start with O, are either Luhya, Kisii or Luo. Sometimes they share names. For example Ondieki is Luo/Kisii, Okwara is Luhya/Luo.
But remember Luhya and Kisii are Bantu and Luo are Nilotes. So Luhya ( certain) and Kisii languages are similar but Luo is distinctly different. I see many Merus failing to observe this fact.
These traditions are a dying breed. Even by my dads generation, they were hardly observing them. I remember my dad being called for some things, and he would decline to attend and represent.

The farthest West a typical GEMA person has travelled is Nakuru.
I used to find it ridiculous that most Kikuyus I’d interact with couldn’t tell a Luhya from a Luo even if a million bob was at stake. Then I reflected at my Lunje relatives huko ushago: @PERDITION could be rhyming and singing Kikamba in his high pitched voice and my relatives would ask “Huyu rafiki yako ni Mkikuyu, si ndio?”
Don’t even ask about differentiating between Kikuyu and Kiembu/Kimeru! To my relatives, it’s Po-teh-toh, Po-tah-toh!
There are several ways of announcing to the world kwamba huna degree and the OP just did a splendid job.
Mbinguni hakuna digiriiii. I have 3 actually but this is Kenya where you can become a governor without a diploma unaenda TIMS online university, virtual learning. Elon Musk ako na digiri kweli?
