One big similarity between the igbo and luos of kenya is pride, naming with letter O and they are strong guys plus their looks.

They are Igbos

Is it plausible that the Kenyan Luo and Igbo have a common ancestry? Absolutely! Let's first dispel a few myths. The Kenyan Luo are not pure nilotes. They are genetically mixed. In fact, Y-DNA analysis clusters them with the Niger-Congo-Kordofanian group because of the predominance of the E1b1a haplotype among them. The same analysis also demonstrates that, contrary to long-held beliefs, they genetically cluster more closely with Bantus than with the Dinka of South Sudan. Genetics aside, the Kenyan Luo are linguistically and culturally nilotic. Luo people migrated south, east, and west from the cradle land and mixed with other peoples as they migrated. Thus, some blending of physical features must've occurred the further out they migrated. For this reason and environmental factors, I must argue that the differences in skin tone do not rule out a common ancestry between any two groups. The similarities in names and other cultural aspects between the Igbo and Luo are intriguing 6:11 . Could Igbo origins also be in the Nile valley? And are differences between the groups that we see in some cultural rites, e.g., circumcision, merely a function of who each group mixed with over time? Sounds plausible.

Dumb, eranko, anuohia, human eaters always trying to connect themselves with other tribes, and even with Isreal.....lol, lol, lol. Hope the Luo knows that Yanmirin Yiibo eat human beings, tho

As a South Sudanese living in Kenya (Dinka) to be specific, l have a Kenyan Lou friend and l was surprised that our languages are about 20-30% familiar which makes sense because our origin is Sudan. But this video brings some confusion cause in terms of similarities, most African tribes share alot in common in the ways of living, doing business, food, culture regardless of being a Bantu, Nilotic or Niger Congo group. According to my research, The Lous of Kenya have Y haplogroup E-M2 (E1b1a) meanwhile Igbos have haplogroup L1 or E-M2 (E1b1a1) which is common among some African groups. It has not yet scientifically proven that these two tribes are related genetically. When we go back into origin and history the Igbos believe to have migrated from Niger river where it meets the Benue river and have settled in their present land for thousands of years dating back 6000 BC /4th millennium with the prove of fossils and remains of pottery from around 3000 years ago in areas of Afrikpo, Okigwe etc and they are older than most tribes in Nigeria, Some reseachers say the Igbos are more than 250,000 years old. During this period the Lous where still in Sudan not even South Sudan and migrated first into Southern Sudan before other tribes, settled in what is now the Bar el ghazal region in South Sudan before migrating to Kenya and other countries like DRC, Uganda, Tanzania, Ethiopia etc recently in the 15th century 500-600 years ago living their cousins behind in Bar el ghazal who still speak the same language. The Luos in Kenya are way lighter and shorter in structure due to intermarriage with Bantus tribes compared to the Luos of South Sudan who are still very tall and darker just like the Dinkas and Nuers. As far as l know, the Igbos are shorter and lighter in complexion compared to Luos because they are of the Niger-Congo groups meanwhile the Luos are of Nilotic origin. If they share names then they might not share meaning, it must be a coincidence or if they are truly related, then l wonder what year they where once one tribe before dividing 🤔???? Therefore at the end of the day, we are all humans and come from the same origin as the Bible and science says. Thanks

Igbos are great people 🎉🎉, you can take that to the bank.

The similarities were identified long ago by even myself

We Igbos are industrious and very successful. You cannot compet with us and win. Only the wise humble themselves to learn from the Igbos.

For sure, luos and igbos relate so much especially in areas of education, sports, ie soccer ,hospitality,etc.

Nothing in common please

Tell them ooo especially those in Nigeria,they shld emancipate their children from mental slavery.

Oga, its not completely true, maybe they once lived together along the line, the luo don't circumcised a new born baby after 8 days while the igbos do, tho, DNA will still be needed

Actually, I have a different view from others. I have lived in Kenya for a while. I can tell you for free, the Luo's has a little similarities with the Igbos. The Kikuyu's even relate well and better to the Igbos, than the Luo's. Even interms of name, business spirit, culture etc.

Ulterior motive, if do not know,know it

This is not a welcome development, there must be hidden agenda, white plan 1000 years in advance

Wow

It's not a coincidence brethren. We are one. I've been wondering about these names which starts with letters "O" and "A" in Nigeria and how the same names are so smartly associated with football success just like here in Kenya as us the Luos. We are one and we should be serious about it

Theres Kenya Luo SudanLuo Uganda Luo Tanzania Luo Congo Luo also Cameroon Luo

You people have started cultural appropriation in kenya.shortly they wil start insulting you and accusing you of every crime.why dont you just allow these peole to come and search for you .

Even luo names look the same .like kenya luo names okech .in nigeria okechi .ohh people of nigeria come and take your luo brothers and sisters there are lost in here in kenya 😂😂😂😂

What makes suspicious is the nigerian igbo name, they sound luoish somehow 🇰🇪

What is the big deal, don't you speak English 😮😮...please be civilised

i dey go arochukwu for marriage

Kedu kam gesi jiri phone mee ya Nwannem?

I'm impressed because I'm from Igbo Chinese people I love you for making me and my language Igbo happy Their learning Igbo because it's lovely💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💕💕💕💕💜

If you're Igbo or u know that you love Igbo Abeg make una gather here ☺😊😊😊😊💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜 Igbo Amaka 💜💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓💓

But they said igbo language will go into extinction how come China is now learning it.shame to those who hate Igbo man, why are they not learning yariba mad people

What a shame to our people who are to day depriving their children from speaking Igbo languages because they are only trying to abandon their own to foreigners but may the Almighty Creator,chukwuokikeabima never allow this to happen

No, that family is amazing

China is seeing the future of Africa through the Igbos. In other words, they believe that Igbo will rule Africa in the nearest future if Jesus Christ tarries. It's an eye opener for the Igbos, particularly, those who are relegating Igbo language and culture. There may likely be status displacement when the time comes. In others, some Chinese may displace some original Igbos in the scheme of things in Africa in the future. Igbo kwenu! Igbo kwenu!! Igbo kwezuenu!!! Igbo amaka!

Congratulations to Anthony. But, it is not okay to hold him up as being exemplary. This is because his Igbo is more of what Oliver de Coque called Engligbo, an admixture of English and Igbo. While it may not be possible to speak any African languages today without an infusion of colonial words here and there, that is quite different from overwhelming an African language with unnecessary foreign words, as this young boy does. The blame does not lie with the boy, but rather with those he learnt the language from. The boy learnt Igbo from people who think in English while speaking Igbo, resulting in the superimposition of Igbo words on a chassis of English language for which it is not designed, and all the misalignment/difficulties that comes with that, including the need to import unnecessary English words.

There is a gradual change in pronunciation the word IGBO(Imbo)kindly follow up.

Chinese people are very wise, they are seeing tomorrow in Africa.😅😅😅

I love igbo Names

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍👍👍👍

In Africa we are many yet to be discovered. Aside from those that fled the genocide of 1966, i have travelled many African countries to realize some certain similarities some are in names, some are in culture, some are in behavior, some are in languages. Do you also know that the people of South Sudan have a similarity? The people of Abazonia the break away region of Cameron. Now another people in Kenya, yet Nnamdi Kanu was kidnapped in Kenya. This Life self, the Igbos in America, Barbados, Haiti, Jamaica and other parts of the world are identifying with the Igbos in Biafra Nation, but those created into a corn state by Britain led by Gowon to weaken the mighty of the Igbos are saying that they are not Igbo. Oh God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of the ancient people my people the Igbos, the God of freedom. Free Nnamdi Kanu for the full restoration of Biafra Nation all to glory of your name and for the betterment of mankind on earth. Amen

They're learning Igbo language to come and steal our land. Chinese are not people to loose guide with, very cornny people.

There is no connection. The luos migrated down from Sudan and more similar to the dinkas. The igbos culturally are closest to the people of Central Africa.

Wewe ongea kiswahili lugha ya afrika ama kiingereza😂😂😂 You are talking afrika

I chose not to put the heshe photo on the thumbnails.

They know Igbos is the most traveled and business people on earth, and they know they must surely need them

My sister you are doing well thanks

He tried but he added English

That's a wonderful boy

Awesome 😘

The Luo and Igbo are descendants of the lost tribes of Jacob (Israel) the tribe of Dan. The tribe of Dan fled from Egypt because of slavery . They fled south separated near Omdurman in Khartoum.

Maybe Luo and Yoruba but I don’t think Igbo & Luo I am also Kenyan

Anthony is an Igbo son,and we should ask God to bless his father, for this wonderful up bringing.

Real....these guys are similar..very proud!
