Love my Meru people. I'm from neighboring Kikuyu land but one of my best friends is a Meru. Through him I've been lucky to spend a lot of time in Meru county. Colonizers came down hard on the Gikuyu, Embu & Meru with an iron fist because of our strong resistance movement. So we have a shared history. I often wonder why the sound of your language is so similar to the Kisii, another area where I spent time with the said Meru friend. Yet geographically you're half a thousand kilometers apart.

I am a Meru and this feature missed some critical and fundamental issue : The Ameru people are a make up for various sub groups ; imenti , tigania , tharakas, mwimbi , chukas , muthambi etc . Miraa only grows in a few areas of merus .. other crops are Potatoes ( unique varieties grown in meru) , horticultural crops ( leading area for that , sorghum , finger millet , barley , coffee , tea etc not just miraa .. then the temper is issue is just a stereotype , yes most Merus are non nonesense and quick to react to being taken for ... but i also now some Merus who are as calm as a cucumber .. that is a stereotype

[@mboyatut4033]

The ancestral leader of the meru has a very intriguing name. Mugwe. This name is reminiscent of the many African names of our various God's. In Swahili language Mungu is a powerful God. Then there's muntu also a God. Some pronounce it as montu. But all of these variations are all having the same articulation of nature. Mugwe, Mungu, montu/muntu, etc

As for Kenya 🇰🇪, the kikuyu are widely known in the world. But they're known for their popularity in politics and nothing else. However they like to brag about being beautiful in Kenya. Truth is that the MERU of Kenya 🇰🇪 are by far more beautiful than the kikuyu. Kikuyus are just average.

@@josephkiwale374 The Cameroon Theory was one presented by the European. It was poorly researched and had little evidence. One major obstacle that is still apparent to this day is the fact that you cannot walk across the Congo basin. You will have a very difficult time crossing huge rivers, which number in the thousands, and jungles that are impenetrable. Walking a kilometer in this thick forest will take you several hours, as you have to clear tons of vegetation, and deal with untold predators. Secondly, if you live in the lush jungles on the Congo Basin, why would you want to migrate from such a place of abundance. The Congo / Cameroon theory is simply not true.

@@josephkiwale374 I speak the Agikuyu language. My nation is located around the sacred mountain we call Kerinyaga. This word was very difficult for the European to pronounce so he botched the word, and it is. today known as Kenya. Many words in the Agikuyu language point to ancient Kemet. One example is our almighty. He is known as the Murungu. This word mean underlord, or lord of the underworld. This is similar to Osiris or Osa in Kemet, who is the God of the Afterlife. The God of the dead. In contrast Jesus is the Lord of the living, yet we only live 60 or 70 years on average, so when you die, you meet the real God, Osa, because the afterlife is for eternity. The Bantu, are a huge language group of nearly a billion people, and yes , we have many similarities. Not much has been written on these similarities, however, the little we know, points to a people that have a long historic past that pre dates Kemet and Sumeria.
