Serbian saying: “In war the politicians give ammunition, the rich give the food and the poor give their children… When the war is over the politicians get back the leftover ammunition, the rich grow more food and the poor search for the graves of their children.”

THE LUO ORIGIN OF MAN

Forget Adam & Eve

Our ancestors never believed in the existence of man as potrayed by science or religion. They had their own myths and legends to account for their origin. One of the most fascinating Kenyan myth is that of the Luo community.

I have had the privilege of working with Peter Akwabi, a gentle, jovial man, on the Sigana Moto moto fireside tales produced by Zamaleo Act and Cinematic solutions. It is through Akwabi that I bring you the remarkable story of George Mukabi’s life. (5/6)

The final part of @mukeni28's history of music legend George Mukabi (English version):

The late Mukabi died in 1963 in tragic circumstances on his in-law’s land. It is said he was butchered by the people from his in-law’s village after a family dispute involving his wife. (1/6)
