It is not uncommon to hear Kyuks referring to themselves as the jews of kenya. The Pokot consider themselves the lost tribe of israel The Lemba people of Zimbabwe consider themselves the lost tribe of israel The igbo of Nigeria as well,... Heck I even heard a friend claim that Liberia is "Africa's israel". Some Ghanians consider themselves jewish... some Senegalese... I am sure the list goes on What is with the obsession... Accept wewe ni mwafrika! All Mushrooms are edible! Some Mushroom are only edible ONCE!

Accept wewe ni mwafrika! who said a mwafrika cannot be a jew? You can be a jew through self identification or practicing their culture and religion. If many christians consider themselves descendants of Abraham, then all christians are jews too! If Obiero did it, Who Am I?

Even some Americans who easily trace their lineages back to Europe insist they are 'African'. Look at the American president. For all intents and purposes he is American yet still 'remembers' his 'African' roots. These 'African' labels is superficial. That is the evolution of it. We must accept that 'African' is nothing and move on.

Then Christianity shows up on your door step... you automatically associate with the conquests of the Israelites then draw an imaginary line between the so called lost tribes of israel (Samarians) and you... and then teach that to your kids... a couple of generations later - everyone has internalized the claim.

Philip Ochieng keeps writing about how the Luo were from Egypt... Hiyo ya Israel, apart from drawing comparison in experiences tendencies etc sijaskia saana
