This is so rich Mwanitu. Ndakuyanza. Musakuru Kabaji huyu genyeka arindwe sana. Yamanya manyingi ga vandu hawakumbuki. Sande sana for the documentation. Greatly apprediated. We need more of this.

Sande mno Andalia.

Painful to hear about the trees cut down and the wild life being removed :( Thank you for sharing and archiving the culture!

[@4thcandlemediatv]

Very painful indeed. These are some of the unfortunate effects of the decisions of our thoughtless political class.

Waaaaa mi ni maragoli mkirima murugiri kutura ichavakari but I didn't know the history thx mzee 👏👏👏👏👏

[@josephkarani9773]

I appreciate your efforts to bring this history to the present generation. We would like to get it more clearer. And to achieve this goal. I advice you to give your questions to this old gentleman in advance so he can respond more accurately to your questions. Make it more educative for the young generations. Thankyou very much.

[@4thcandlemediatv]

Shukran sana @josephKarani9773 We continue to learn. Unfortunately my grandpa passed away a few weeks ago before we could do more educational content like this. But I shall continue to seek out more of his peers who are equally as knowledgeable in the subject matter.

[@chelotiwanyonyifwamba5470]

Someone has said this Mzee passed on. It is very sad that we have lost a rich undocumented history of the maragoli people of the Luhya sub tribe. I cry in my heart and wonder, what happened to our history research departments at our universities? Western and Nyanza regions are blessed with well funded universities that can play a crucial role to collect data, preserve, and disseminate for posterity. Or just write historical books. Hon. James Osogo tried by writing a little about the history of the Luhya people which perspectively appeared shallow. It mentioned maragoli people, and their closely related kisii and suba in Nyanza.

whats the background music???

[@4thcandlemediatv]

It's a drum and jingle beat I made myself and then just slowed the tempo down.

[@KikuyuMbokuVincent]

This leaves more questions than answers. Maragolis are closely related to people from northern Tanzania. Also Kisii and Kuria. I understand Mlogoli was a Maragoli Priest who led the Maragoli to the current location which extended all the way to "Kusuma" aka Kisumu.

[@4thcandlemediatv]

Quite insightful additions. Thanks for sharing these.

[@felixmakinda7689]

I am from Abagusii community. Our traditions claim that we are related to Abaragori, we parted ways past Yimbo as we proceeded to Kisumu. The environment in Kisumu was harsh for us, we left for Kabianga (Kabianga is a Gusii saying meaning 'everything has failed to work') in Kericho, where hostile Kalenjins drove us to present-day Gusii Highlands. Omogusii first settled in Kiabonyoru ( a hilly yet fertile place. Kiabonyoru is like 'newfound') - a place of peace and stability.

Yes he passed away recently. Am glad to hear that you knew him.

[@maragolihistory2118]

Wow!! This is so nice. But you didn't ask about the origin of Andimi.

[@4thcandlemediatv]

Thank you so much @Maragoli History. Unfortunately I didn't ask about the origins of Andimi. It's a historical account that can be advanced further. 💪👌

[@itchyfingers5089]

The name of the District Commisioner was the late John Michuki from Kangema.

The DC was Dave Mwangi not Michuki

[@iganzajackson1142]

Ivisusu ni butterfly Dave.....ni antelopes

[@amusulwa]

Around 15:30 the animal mentioned kisusu in the context is an antelope...

[@4thcandlemediatv]

Thank you for the feedback @Augustine. Am delighted to know that you are listening to this narrative and contributing to it's development. Sande mno mno.

[@MashaKagai]

Kisusu si rabbit?

[@mararunewton6125]

Nimeona iswara very lately kwa hiyo hills

[@4thcandlemediatv]

The Maasai Mara is very close to the Maragoli Hills. They can move into the hills from the other side of the hills.

[@beneaththesurface2115]

At 22:27 he mentioned Israel. The true land of Israel is in East Africa right?

[@mararunewton6125]

But there are reafforestation efforts ongoing to restore it

[@4thcandlemediatv]

As it should be. Maragoli Hills is a very portent water catchment forest. It just needs a little boosting.

Ivisusu is antelopes not butterflies though they share names in maragoli but one is an insect the other is an animal.

He actually mentioned it albeit in passing. If we went deeper into it, we would have a series with several episodes.

[@fredrickayunga8912]

This history is not coming out so clear. From the beginning only four clans made Maragolis. What about other clans that we know of today like Vatembuli, Vasaniaga etc? Are Tirikis modified Maragolis? It is not so clear.

[@4thcandlemediatv]

In every community in Kenya we have the root clans and the sub-clans. You'll find that the ones you mentioned are sub-clans. That's why we say "Mwifa Mmavi" for instance.

[@muyesu8213]

Based on what I know, there's so much that's been left out.
