Thanks Essyk for mentioning my trip to God.

That place is heavenly.. so productive but CHILLY even when the sun is high up....everyones wears heavy jackets and gumboots i guess to keep of the cold.

fear-zi ni mob n very cheap....but the mp should do something with the CDF kitty...roads are terrible, its like one is driving on a shamba..
i would like to buy a kamugunda there....how much would an acre cost me?

I am loving this thread, i know a kisii who when he was called an otieno, he responded 'wacha matusi asubuhi asubuhi' they dont like one another that much

Welcome to ndundori.



plus porridge from a gumboot.

This is not meant to be disrespectful to anybody. It is an exploratory thread on common Kenyan cultures. For those who are overly sensitive on matters tribal please do not be offended. I am hoping that by people contributing honestly people will get a better understanding of how different people view each other.

It is my understanding that every tribe in Kenya feels superior to all the others and they all have their Jinga tribe. This may be a bit too sensitive to go into but if you can shed light on this without being offensive I would like to know how people from different tribes view others.

What is however more interesting is that within tribes people from different areas always feel superior to people from other areas and there are plenty of Jokes about Jinga people from certain areas. Among the Kikuyu, I think the most famous place is Ndunduri. People from Ndunduri especially a place called gwa Kiongo are supposedly not very bright and they do all sorts of funny things like drink Uji from their gumboots and knock on the door of Hotels before they go in. I have met many people from Ndunduri and they too laugh at these jokes but I wonder how they came about.

My question is, what is the origin of these stereotypes? Do you have them in other tribes and what are they?
