Interesting direction taken, brother! I personally barely knew (but really wished) about this wonderful history. The fact that the Jaramogi family preserves all this is amazing!!!! You have really done us(Ugandans) proud 😀
An awesome preservation of history in its original state. I didn't realize three of his wives are still alive. The blogger is amazingly respectful 🙏🏿 Thank you for sharing.
@@afrakanaswahilitv5520 most likely the Kenya govt would pay a small amount or the Obama foundation is paying a fair amount, that way his family culture & their name is maintained. That is my thought. Thanks for your feedback
As a guest of US Civil rights Organizer , Charles Cobb Jr. Kenya's Independence VP Oginga Odinga was once arrested in Atlanta while in Atlanta protesting against Black discrimination together with 17 other SNCC students . This was an embarrassment for the relations between US and Kenya after the state realized that they had locked up Kenya VP . He refused to leave jail until all the black students were released . His wishes were granted .
In 1963, US first Black Chief Justice, Thurgood Marshall,who was friends with Kenya Nationalists Tom Mboya,Oginga Odinga and Jomo Kenyatta, was responsible for writing part of Kenya's Independence constitution particularly the part on rights of racial minorities including white, Asian/Indian,Arabs etc .
Prior to Kenya Independence 1963 racial segregation in Kenya ,white 1st class citizen, Asian/Indian, Arab second class citizen ,black Kenya 3rd class .
US first Black Chief Justice Thurgood Marshall was disappointed at the post independence polarization between Nationalists leaders President Jomo Kenyatta and VP Oginga Odinga and assassination of Nationalist Tom Mboya in 1960s . These were his close friends .
US civil rights leader Dr Martin Luther King lost his life in 1968 at age 39 and his close friend Kenya independence Nationalists Tom Mboya lost his life in 1969 at the age of 38 . Both Tom Mboya and Dr Martin Luther King had 4 kids each all below age 13 .
Uganda’s first president Milton Obote was founding member of Kenya's Independence party and worked together with VP Oginga Odinga to transfer Mwai Kibaki from Makerere as a lecturer to Kenya as the first independence party executive officer in 1960 . There is road in Kisumu named Obote road .
Milton Obote was a frequent visitor to Kisumu and was denied asylum in Kenya by Daniel Moi in 1985 due to his close friendship with VP Oginga Odinga . Odungi Randa was personal assistant to Oginga Odinga and in his youth travelled to Uganda to start marriage negotiations with a Luo-Acholi fiancée but the marriage never materialized as Idi Amin wiped out the entire family of the girl .
VP Oginga Odinga of Kenya and President Milton Obote(Luo-Langi) of Uganda started efforts to unite the Luo of East ,Central, North/North East Africa . The first headquarters of Luo Union was in Kisumu at the OFAFA MEMORIAL HALL . Ambrose Ofafa was the first treasurer of Luo Union and was killed during the British Colonial state of emergency under dubious circumstances . The funeral was conducted in Alego Kargada in Nyanza Kenya .
VP Oginga Odinga started a unity tour and funds drive tour of East,Central and NorthEast Africa to support Luo Union . He would later resign as Luo Ker after he became Kenya VP relinquishing the post to Joel Omer . Other notable Luo Ker included Paul Mboya from South Nyanza Karachuonyo whose son together with Argwings Kodhek,first MP Gem Nyanza,were both the first black lawyers in pre-independence Kenya .
VP Oginga Odinga together with some of his children travelled extensively across East and Central Africa collecting funds to build Ofafa memorial hall in 1955 . Ofafa memorial was about 300 meters on the right side of Kaloleni estate Kisumu and behind the house of Oginga Odinga .
The Architect for construction of Luo Union Ofafa memorial hall was Washington Onger of Gem Olumbi with a company called LUTATKO and a contractor called RAMOGI CONSTRUCTION under Luo Thrift an entrepreneurship arm of Luo-Union .
There is a day Jaramogi came to Maseno School for the Maseno Old Boys Association (MOBA) meeting. The excitement we had as students. Gerald Otieno Kanjwang, Ndolo Ayah, Ochieng Oneko, Njeru Githae were there too, but we were focused on Jaramogi. Later my classmate, Wachira Kiboi and I, visited him at this Bondo home on our weekend outing. At UoN, Wachira and I saw him every week at AGIP House. We were also leaders in SONU and youth leaders in Ford Kenya. Jaramogi was a statesman and a Kenyan patriot.
Very impressive record keeping by Jaramogi. The guy is also a good tour guide, he has kept the video flowing, I am left in suspense. What's the procedure of booking a visit to Kango Kajaramogi.
Simba is the first house a son builds in his fathers home till he feels like he's of age to have his own home. In the olden days, a son wasn't allowed to marry in that house as it was a house he was only allowed to sneak in his girlfriends so when he was of age to marry he was expected to build a new house to marry in however those have been over taken by events.
The largest funds drive of LUO UNION was chaired by President Milton Obote(Luo-Langi) in LIRA NORTHERN UGANDA in 1958 with VP OGINGA ODINGA of Kenya present . There is a OBOTE road in Kisumu Kenya . The Luo Ker Odungi Randa met Milton Obote multiple times when he was hosted by VP Oginga Odinga in Kisumu Kenya and named his late son Stephen Milton Obote . The Luo Ker of Kenya was set to Marry in Luo-Acholiland in Uganda but his fiancé’s family was wiped out by Idi Amin after the fall of Milton Obote in 1971.
In his youth the current Ker(leader Luo Council) of Kenya Luo Odungi Randa, as a PA, traveled extensively with VP Oginga Odinga of Kenya to Uganda . Milton Obote and VP Oginga attended MAKERERE University of Uganda and were very close friends and members of LUO-UNION East, Central,North/North East Africa . Julius Nyerere also attended Makerere University in Uganda .
In 1985 DANIEL MOI of Kenya denied Uganda president Milton Obote asylum after Gen Tito Okello took power through a coup supported by his army commander Gen Bazilio Olara Okello . Daniel Moi had a strained relation with VP Oginga Odinga of Kenya who was best friends with Milton Obote of Uganda .
Nice content, keep them coming. Work on the captions though, your tour guide clearly pointed out that this is Jaramogi's (father) home and not Raila's (son).
It is called a click bait bro. Honorable Raila Odinga is a famous politician in Kenya and African Union, not many people, especially the current generation Gen-Z know much about Jaramogi Oginga Odinga. Therefore, Raila Odinga's caption/thumbnail captures a lot of viewers' attention.😂😂😂
@@kajeffa Yes. The Kikuyu are street smart, which is why they have always outwitted the Luo when it comes to the politics of winning elections and governing,, but when it comes to academics, Luo all the way.
Case in point: Do you remember how Jaramogi insisted that Kenyatta be released from detention only for Kenyatta to come out and then betray Jaramogi? Then there was Mboya, Ouko, etc. Luo always outwitted.
@user-ts6wr1un8g I can't say no to the street smart nature of Kikuyus. And politically they it ain't that they are smart but it goes down to numbers and tribal case. On the other hand, having LUOS being vocal doesn't mean they are better bookwarmers. There are tribes which have survived in government even if they vote in both opposition and in government. Statistically you will be astonished to see kisiis in very major professions that is Lawyers, Doctors, Lecturers, Accounting and IT. Moreso they alelways are in government either they oppose or join it. When It comes to entrepreneurial case, they are there just behind Kikuyus. Do they have a leader? NO. They know how to coexist in both scenarios without creating scenes.
The area is not semi arid... Maybe it is not yet rainy season otherwise you would have find trouble moving. The only places that receive more rainfull than this areas are Kisii and Kericho.
Jaramogi’s family did a wonderful job of preserving his history and that of Kenya. After his death his homestead become a museum. Even more alive than a US presidential library bcoz it also shows family. I think this is the best museum / memorial of any African leader to-date.
In 1982 Kenya Independence VP Oginga Odinga supported Kenya Airforce coup against Daniel Moi led by Senior Private Hezekiah Ochuka, Sgt Pancreas Oteyo Okumu,Sgt Ogidi Obuon,Sgt Samuel Opiyo,Cpl Joseph Ogidi Obuon,Capt Agola,Fenwicks Chesoli Odira,James Otieno Odemba,Cpl George Akoth,Atila,Charles Oriwa Hongo,Charles Mirasi,Robert Odhiambo Ndege,Edward Adel Omollo Cpl Bramwell Injeni Njereman,Major Mutua .

I love how the artifacts have been preserved. Sad we don't have such preservations in Uganda for the fallen leaders. Sad
Raila's home is Opoda Farm, not Kang'o ka Jaramogi. This is Kang'o ka Jaramogi, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga's home.
Simba is the first house a son builds in his fathers home till he feels like he's of age to have his own home. In the olden days, a son wasn't allowed to marry in that house as it was a house he was only allowed to sneak in his girlfriends so when he was of age to marry he was expected to build a new house to marry in however those have been over taken by events.
I admire how Luos have preserved their legend's history. For Kikuyus, what did you do to Kenyattas similar symbol of legacy?
Is it not in Gatundu?
@@reubenmwangi4290 the jaramogi's
Kenyatta is not a kikuyu hero, maumaus are.
Body in Nairobi city....
@@akinyiokeyo4618 their history especially Jomo's legacy must be somewhere in Ichaweri village, Gatundu 🙂
I have been to Bondo but never been here
This is Nyamira, some Kilometers from Bondo. Next to Nyamira Girls
This is what we also need for our Ugandan former presidents, naye wapi!!!
