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.
Thank you so much for this valuable information.
Igbos and Luo are both bantus
@@KennyJolaI beg to differ I am a Luo from Kenya and we identify as nilotes not bantus

@@KennyJolaLuos are river-lake Nilotes
I knew already that the Obama tribe in Kenya is related to the Igbos in Nigeria. When Obama became the president, his stepmother came from Kanya with some gifts, and part of what she gave to President Obama as a King /President, was Oduenyi ( elephant tusk ) then, I also read from one of the big news media online, on all the connecting dots that made up Obama’s roots. 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. Remember, when people are migrating, they mix up with another African tribe.
Wow! This is interesting, thanks for letting us know this.
Im a proudly Luo from Kenya 🇰🇪. And i love IGBO PIPU
We love you too.
Please there is this video I saw on TH-cam where a lion was rocking around the window of a house in Keny. Does it mean lion do escape from the zoo into the neighborhood?
@@nonnywily yes dear,,sometimes even the baboons do escape from the zoo to the neighborhood,,there is an incident long time ago when a baboon raped an old woman from my village🥺
@@nonnywily
Iam a kenyan luo and i will move to Nigeria now
Wow! Thanks interesting to know bro.
You look like igbo too ❤
You are welcome my igbo brother
It can only be sorted out through a simple DNA analysis and then we can get a better understanding of how connected we’re.
There is no connection at all... Luos are nilotes

I spent a week among the Luo in Ahero. Wonderful people. Welcomed us, cooked for us, cared for us. Though we came as missionaries, we left revived, blessed-- receiving far more than we gave.
@@AllenBethea Wow! this comment really melted me heart. May God continue to bless them for that.
@@Chelamsh8 Wow! This your comment gave me goosebumps while reading it. God bless the Luos, God bless the Igbos, God bless Africa. Thank you so much Sonia.

Some of the most united and honest African tribes to even do business with or trust.Id rather do business with a Lou in Kenya or an Igbo in Nigeria.
Wow! Thanks a lot bro for trusting us
They are typical igbo. U don't need a rocket scientist to tell you they are igbos. They are igbos.
Thanks a lot for watching and your contribution.
Ndio nilishangaa wajakaa hukaa Nigerians 😅hadi lifestyle
They are Igbos. Igbos don't hide. Our language is unique. We cannot have so many Igbo names purely for novelty.
I'm also luo of Kenya I'll the research
I believe there is a solid connection 100%
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.
The Igbos went south west and the Luos went south to source of the Nile and followed around lake victoria.
More research is needed to explain the similarities. When Ibos sing the tone is Luo even if you can't hear. There needs to be proper research about the two communities. Luos are Egyptian the name Nilotic has nothing to do with their identities. It was used by the Europeans to refer to people found along the Nile river.
There is a striking similarity in some yoruba and igbo names of people and places and the luo of East Africa. Examples:: Gombe-Gombe; Agan-Agan; Madueke-Maduke;Aluko-Aluko;Okikioka-Okiki; Ogun- OgunaAikhomu-Akumu;Oladipo -Odipo Agalla-Agalo; Aremu-Aremo;Okonkwo-Okon'go. I.do not have an explanation for this..just a curious observation.I 'm a Kenyan.
Except luos don't circumcise?
How does this comment about circumcision tie in with the point I made about the curious similarity in names?
Do the names mean the same?
@@chagavahI worked in Kisumu as a healthcare worker for a few years. We circumcised several boys. I was told that this wasn’t don’t culturally many years ago and with medical knowledge, the Luos came to embrace circumcision, and that to me is progress. It’s really funny how other tribes used this to insult Luos. I enjoyed my time in Kisumu. Luos are very welcoming and cultured.
Igbos are the luos of Kenya,luyahs are the Yoruba of Nageria.kambas are the Calabars of Nageria 😂😂😂😂
😂😂Kumbe hata waluyha ni wanaijaa
Real....these guys are similar..very proud!
@@evonrn2000 I am proud of Igbo and my Kenyan family.
Scammers
There is no country that will calm not to have scammers and so you can not use the action of few to justify the whole tribe.
Igbos are great people
You can say that again, thanks for and watching and contributing.
@chinonso my sister. I told you this. For sure there is a relation between the luos and igbos.
This my sister from another mother. My Kenyan friend turned sister.
They may be those that left during Biafra war.
It can never be during Biafra. It is before civilization comes to Africa where people with their families migrated to another area for greener pasture and good life.
I think there is a of connection among many African.. Not just only the igbos. Thanks for sharing my people. Africa is one and it time to unite and make business and money as you do have here in the west
Well said my brother, thanks.
How we going to unite 😂😂while every country you guys are in are biggest drvg dealers,
scammers etc.
Which unity is y0u going to bring.We n0t related to nigerians.The dna make up in west & east is totally different.

Ethnicity not bro
My untie is called ojuko, my step grandfather, now late, and I was called osumba
Wow, the first name sounds similar like ojukwu
@nonnywily and you have okonkwo, but we have okongo, meaning he was born during feasting or rather festivals where traditional liquor is involved
@@kennedyapind133 okongwo --- is not a name par say but it used to refer to an oldman e:g okongwo ime anwuru
Can you speak English?
Yes
In Igbo, Bia means come. In Luo, come means Bi, Bi ka or depends on how or when you use it. In Igbo, Okonkwo means liquor, in Luo it means Kong'o or Oko'ngo for an alcoholic person. In Igbo, Okute means stones, in Luo it's either kite/ kidi. Many similarities plus many more
Okonkwo doesn't mean liquor. Oko nkwo is a male child born on nkwo market day. There is also okorie, Okafor,okeke. All relating to the 4 market days in igbo land, Eke, Orie, Afor, Nkwo. For females you have mgbafor, mgborie, mgbeke, mgbokwa. This were some of the names igbos bears before colonialism and the 4 market days was their calender
@@danielnathaniel6594you are right but he is not far from the truth. If you space Okonkwo into oko nkwu or oko nkwo, you will get it.
Okongwu is a drunkard in Igbo..
It's true, I'm a Luo
Even the Luos of Uganda are uncontrollable and other tribes don't want them to ascend into higher level of leadership
One shoul not be very surprised since it has been illustrated that the Bantus of central and southern Africa migrated from the Niger - Benue region of West Africa where Ndigbo (Igbos) have lived for thousands of years. It is possible the Luo people may be among latest people that migrate out of that region.
Hello from Luxembourg 🇱🇺 Europe 👋😊....i love what i see ❤ Marcelline is my name ..and i subscribe and share ❤❤
Thanks alot Marcelline, I appreciate.
Look for a book called the pads of the Nile
Ok Thanks very much
Me I think that both tribe (Igbo and Luo) are created slightly the same and slightly different.
Speak English please
Oh so sorry, I am actually using this channel to promote my language, Igbo language, I am working on adding subtitles.
There's Luo tribe in Congo and they have the same culture with igbo people of Nigeria.
Wow!, thanks for that information.
Just try to google the luos of Nigeria and you'll be surprised to learn that Igbos are the luos of Nigeria.
Igbo are 70 to 80 million in population
Yeah only in Nigeria 70-80m Igbo people
Sectarianism does not help you nor built the great Africa we need
I think it's Intermarriage , DNA test and further research will help
Yes, thanks for your contribution
And they are sophisticated and successful like igbos,. There women also beautiful like igbo women,. The Gods remain wise
@@chimaihems3030 Yea
If l see black Americans whose forefathers descended from Igbos l can easily tell.
Really? That's really interesting.
Let me clarify about Igbo royal family from Nigeria and luos / Teso from Kenya, this three tribes thy are one family, for example, when Igbo call there child Daughter Inkiru, Teso from Kenya they also call Akiru, meaning the child born on the rain session, Wen Igbo call Okoro, same Teso they call Okoro, the babe boy born a round 3am to 5am morning, Wen the cocks are (. .....) So mostly Teso and luos thy normally using capitol O in there names, for example, Otieno, Onyango, Omondi, Ochieng, those one are from luos, Teso, Okoro, Osapiri, Omodya, Okonkwo, Eto'o, Emojong, Oruku, Igbo thy also have, Okonkwo, Eto'o, Okoro, and so on, so you are our brothers in Nigeria
Thanks very much
Oruma is in both countries
Even in Uganda 🇺🇬here Alur Luo of westnile names like okechi
Wow!!
@@nonnywilyNkechi/Okech(Luo)/Akech. Otumba(Luo) Otumba(Igbo)
I am luo of kenya, the proof of luo and igbo are one people and the maasai and kalenjin are brothers, these are the encient people of kush...
I am a Kenyan Luo and no we have no connection whatsoever with the Igbo
Ok
I'm Kikuyu but I've seen people in Luo spaces here on YT talk about a potential Igbo connection, because their names start with 'O'. I'm fairly good at pattern matching, and don't see it. 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. I've not found similar words yet though, so I'm guessing the connection might be very ancient i.e from more than a couple thousand years ago, when the Sahara desert was greener.
@@panafrican.nation Wow! Thanks a lot for your contribution.
@@nonnywily Welcome. Everything points to the fact that we were one family once. Somebody said that we're due for reunion. It's good to find connections between us.
@@panafrican.nation Exactly, there is no smoke without fire🔥
Why dont you reseachers do DNA sequencing to and compare the two tribes
There must be a connection,a link that is missing, ig os, go get your family back cos these tribe is obviously your kin.
So you're saying Nilotic people are closely related to Bantus of W Africa, ok
Igbos are not bantus that information has been revised.
@@nairobichik When did Luos stop circumcision, if they are closely related?
@@chagavahyou must really be a tribalistic hateful person, I won’t be surprised if you are Kikuyu, I have witnessed first hand how much you people hate and bully Luos. All your comments here are about circumcision or the lack of it. Now that circumcision is a big deal to you, has it made you a better person?
I am Igbo and no we are not Bantus.
@@chagavahall your comments here are about circumcision, you must hate the Luo. How has circumcision helped you when you cant even accommodate your country men’s differences.
Listen to this lady speak, apart from the accent..she is speaking luo
Really, thats good to know, thanks for your comment.
Thanks for sharing
You are welcome
I don't want to exaggerate, but I will bet that their grandfather's were Igbo.
Luos also know that they might have been in Egypt when Israel lived in Egypt. They share certain things like even the names. Example is Barack which is a Luo name as well as an Israeli name.the wife inheritance culture amongst the jews is similar to Luos and Igbos.
The story in Luo history that two brothers had to separate bitterly with one going west and the other going East never to meet again..could very well be the thing that Made Igbo go very far..their Ancestors intermarried with many out their making them chnage a little
Wow! Thanks for this enlightement.
Barrak is not a luo name. Sorry to disappoint you
So when did Luos stop circumcision?
and also the issue surrounding twins in kenya luo and igbo
Focus your eyes on that man talking for some seconds and see how he looks like Obama even the gap on his teeth..
You are so observant, thanks for watching.
Amadi is a luo name, could be Igbo name as well?
Yes Amadi is a name in Igbo too
Luo married to igbo
Igbos love a flashy lifestyle same as the Luos
Yes, and they work for it actually.
Luo are descendants of ancient Israelites from Ethiopian and those that migrated from King Solomon's era because of Queen of Sheba and Menelek the Son of Solomon. Igbo are migrants who emerged from the tribe of Gad.
What are you yapping about ? Luo people are River Nilotes and Nilotic people origin is in The Sudans 😂
@@hasinaaaa3457There was a land bridge between Gaza and Egypt people walk all the way to those lands.
@@billtev9846 Nonsense pls 😭 If this was real, what’s the similarities of the Igbo people to Luo/Nilotic groups & Cushitic/Omotic peoples of Ethiopia ?
Stop that, changing histrory with no evidence. Luo boz are in south sudan, the tall dark nilotic peoples
MY Luo Trending Nation. (LTN) who are these igbo ppl.
We are the most industrious people in Nigeria. Make your research to know more about the Igbos.
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.
@@FranceniaProperty ok
You people should come back to igbo we will welcome your people
They are most welcomed any time any day
We are coming 😂. I came to Nigeria some years back and I loved it. (Luo from Kenya)

But Luos are Nilotes and it is said Igbos are Bantu. Luos do not circumcised and do not know about Igbos... We are learning..
ok
THIS GUY DOES NOT KNOW THAT IBOS IN NIGERIA IS 70 MILLION.
Theres no way theres 70 million Igbo in Nigeria!
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.
South Sudanese look like the Luos of Kenya while the Igbos of Nigeria look like other bantus in the middle and southern parts of Africa.
Thanks a lot for that detailed information.
❤❤❤❤A,
Chai NNAMDI KANU will cry to hear this. The country that he was kidnapped from to Nigeria has some igbo blood chai its painful.

Igbos race superior to all! They are 80% percent of Nigeria population! Proudly Igbo origin!
Please desist from this, it is unnecessary, yagazie
Sometimes you folks should be a little bit humble, the superior race that lost a war indeed and is losing her territories in Nigeria. Smh!
And stop exaggerating our numbers.
Don't get ahead of yourself
You can't ask them to come back to Nigeria, because Nigeria is not ur home, Israel is
Ani igbo is the true and ancient site of Israel. Not what we've been feed over centuries. Search out Dr. Phillip Njemanze and his findings on Mediators of YAHWEH. What he has uncovered over 3 decades will blow your mind. The current location of "Israel" may very well be a lie when the hidden cities are eventually uncovered this year.
Igbos and Luo are both bantus
