You mean Gumba?

There was an original Kikuyu population but guess this was diluted by the expansion of the tribe and search for more land.

The Gikuyu migrated southwards only to find the Dorobo occupying most of what is now Kiambu county. They tricked them out of their land and also assimilated some of them. By the time the mzungu came there were still Dorobo populations in the forests but they were fully assimilated into the Kikuyu population by the end of the colonial period.

I do not think this overlap is only found among the Kikuyus as the same is there among the Luo/ Luhya, Luhya/Kalenjin, Kisii/Luhya etc.

BTW talking about the Kisiis there is this theory by historians linking them to the Mt Kenya tribes esp the Meru. They argue that the Gusii found fertile land and settled in the western part of Kenya as their brothers moved on. Interesting to ote that some Mt. Kenya names are found in Gusiiland with the slight variation of an 'o' instead of 'U' eg Moturi, Mogambi, Moraro.

So here we are, not so sure of our tribes. You could be insulting yourself when you insult another tribe!

Many, many theories!

Reminds me of a certain guy from coast telling M 0 1 that he came from Sudan and should go back!.

Cultural diversity should be a tool for peaceful co-existence. Kenyan tribe- one and same, difference same.

I once met a Brazilian: a mix of japanese, mzungu and her great great great grannie was a Bantu woman slave from maybe South West Africa.
One question from her that I could not answer: why did Africans sell Africans into slavery?

Finally, consolation for Kaos because I can't see a kao being president in my lifetime or the next.

But that said, there's no way Kenyatta was a Kao, his behaviors were kyuk to the bone. No amount teaching could achieve that.

In the DRC, there are native Luos n Kikuyus. The most puzzling are the kyuks, they are extremely lazy! Probably explains why they were left behind lol!
