Could the Luo of Kenya and the Igbo of Nigeria Share Hidden Connections? Find Out!

[@anichebechristopher2497]

Yes truly igbos of Nigeria and luo of kenya are one same people. The answer lies in the bible. The Igbos are the TRUE descendants of Jacob,they lived in East Africa(Holy land) before the Most High brought them to west Africa in the land of Asshur/Assyria (Hausa) as the Ten Tribes of Jacob along the River AFRA changed to Euphrate by Europeans scholars and called River Niger today. The luo people i believe are reminants of the igbos who returned back to the Holy land from Babylon(Sudan) or Egypt. This discovery further confirms that bible events all took place in Africa,80% in East/Central Africa, 20% in west Africa.

The Igbo tribe in Nigeria is part of the dots. Obama’s ancestors traveled from Nigeria through the northern part of Africa until they finally settled down in Kanya.

Me I think that both tribe (Igbo and Luo) are created slightly the same and slightly different.

[@oltimer8600]

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.

I'd say that Igbos are closer to Bantu, especially because they're located in South Eastern Nigeria. In fact, I recently discovered that Bette/Bendi languages from SE Nigeria have some Bantu-like words. I definitely sense some connection between Nilotic languages in Kenya & S. Sudan and those from west and north of Nigeria i.e Mali, Gambia, Guinea, Senegal etc, from listening to their speech patterns. They sound Turkana-ish.

Whatever similarities in prefixes, the 'O's, the 'Chi's and 'Nwa's are purely coincidental. Thesame prefix similarities exist in other African groups in the southern and central parts of Africa. The Luos of Kenya are 'nilotic ' like the Yorubas of Nigeria while Igbos on the other hand are clearly 'bantus' like their more likely relations in the lower central and southern parts of Africa. Their physical similarities and some traditional nuances mirror the Igbo practices of eastern Nigeria more than the 'luos' who trace their origins to Sudan.
