These letters were written in the 1890s when Hall was based at Fort Smith (Uthiru?). At some point, the natives keep calling him Ngai(God) especially when he shows them European things like mirrors.
That video looks like what Hall encountered
may be he heard it wrong... Kyuks were exclaiming
Ngai Fafa!!
Most likely Kyuks were exclaiming.
John Boyes the guy who claimed to the white king of the wakikuyu paints a different picture of treacherous, cunning, and usually hostile people of the Kikuyu.
Quote:the strong stockade, ditch, brick houses, and well guarded stores known as Fort Smith in Kikuyu, above which was floating the Company's flag. Outside the Fort itself the state of affairs was not so pleasant to contemplate. We were surrounded day and night by a complete ring of hostile Wa-Kikuyu, hidden in the long grass and bushes, and for anyone to wander alone for more than two hundred yards from the stockade was almost certain death.
