Dr Kenneth Omona Olusegun

Senior @OfwonoOpondo of Ayago Village, ayago means of Yago. Yago is Kigelia Africana ( sausage tree). In the Luo Tradition, Yago fruit is buried to cover the grave dug after false death ( the seeds can germinate from the grave ) . To is death. And Ayago village is not for burial because Yago already covered for death - no death in Ayago. Two people are involved in false death, and burying Yago has consequences , on either the falsifier and / the “victim” or both ( if one falsified one’s own death). It’s called “chir”/ “kir”. Kir can only be atoned, or prayed against! This is “tumu chir” , a Luo traditional ritual of cleansing one and one’s family/ clan. Among the Luo , spoken word , called “Lok” is highly regarded.
So, OO , there is no more grave space in Ayago , Yago can be buried elsewhere BUT followed by tumu kir.
The Luos curse Kir during the rituals . It’s called “lamu cen”. Lam is curse , cen is evil or bad omen.
They say WANG CENG KUCIT CI OCITI , OLOR KWEDE MATWALA ( let the setting sun roll and roll and set with it forever) .
WANG CENG OCIT KI TO MATWALA.
Let’s have peace ( Kuc /Mulem), Uganda is sweet home.

EBUNWASI ,
One big forgotten untapped talent we have in plenty here , we can claim world trophies - LIARS.
One can even make one like : “ I witnessed an Angel ring him, he went & came back with a star from the sky & sold it to the chinese .” With a straight face. SCOUNDRELS !

Hallo Balaam @BalaamBarugahar , it’s me again, Dr Omona. I read your response to Hon Calvin @EchoduOfficial , Mp and @NRMOnline Vice C/man for Eastern, member of the @NRMOnline CEC . According to you , Hon Echodu , an elected leader of the people , was tribal , unpatriotic, not statesman enough and immature , to respond to the happenings in his constituency and region, huh !
May be , Balaam, you may wish to advise , who has a right to speak in Uganda and speak for the people and for themselves and how to speak. I come from the Greater #Kaberamaido, where Lt Gen ELWELU also comes from ( Anyara , Kalaki ). The people in that place got terrified by the ongoing in the National news , aware of their traumatic past , wanted assurance from their leaders about their community.
What then would us , their children and leaders tell them. Did we need to seek permission from you to calm down our people so they can settle to till their land without fear ? It’s planting and exam season in this our place right now. Why do you want to smear such a foul lebel as tribalism on a leader who is just calling for calm and giving assurance to his people ? The last time I checked your were a great promoter of tribal chauvinism, have you finally come to our side ?😅😅😅😅😅. I hope we haven’t abandoned our mass line ideology that shaped many of us. WHAT IS PATRIOTISM WITHOUT THE PEOPLE, Bure !
We of the region , are more interested in National security more than you may be even , we bear very many scars of insurgencies and we don’t desire any more . That’s why we find Hon Echodu’s statement neutral , mature , Patriotic and civil and peaceful and re assuring- that’s leadership and therefore don’t need your permission from you , atleast not in our villages to speak for them. We have a duty to do so. This is the beauty of the NRM that we still believe in and this is what our leader Mzee @KagutaMuseveni has taught us.
So ma bro Balamu, no one has the monopoly of opinion OR even wisdom and to speak , it’s what we fought for , you remember? Hii ni sirikali ya wananchi.
Finally, let me summarize for you what Hon Echodu called for : calm in the region, speedy and transparent inquiry into the Gen ELWELU alleged subversive activities and caution against inflammatory statements. Are these unwise according to you !
Greetings from Kaberamaido city.
Cheers.
