Here Is Luo Pride, Celebrated Blogger Jackson Biko Goes On A Rant To Prove Kisumu Is Not Shags This is His Evidence

Being Luo is truly a lifestyle and a burden at least going by the way they explain their issues, world view and basically their struggles. You can always trust a Luo brother to pick the strangest struggle.

Take Jackson Biko’s struggle over the weekend to explain his difficulty in explaining Kisumu is not shags. Well, he could have simply explained the large area Kisumu is and the fact that it is nt the only place in Nyanza etc along those lines. But then, you see being Luo is a burden and the articulate Biko had to even use pictures to prove Kisumu is not shags. This is what he wrote

When you tell people (mostly from Central) that you are going to shags they ask you, “Oh, you will be in Kisumu? I have never been!” They imagine that every luo comes from Kisumu. That Kisumu is this small village where everybody who says they are in shags meets at the river every evening to take a bath. And chew sugarcane. I once told someone that I was in shags and they said, “Oh, Jimmy also said he was in shags, maybe you will run into him in Kisumu!” Never mind Jimmy is from Siaya and I’m from South Nyanza. There is no way we can meet when we are both in shags. Not even if we both stood on the highest hill near us and waved a red shirt. Kisumu is not shags. And shags is not Kisumu. I want us to repeat this together; Kisumu is not shags and shags is not Kisumu.

In fact, this is how Kisumu looks like now. This is Acacia Premier hotel. Does this looks like shags? Whose shags looks like this? Can you see a cow in that room? Is there a brown river running through that reception? Can you see naked children swimming on that balcony? Kisumu is not shags and shags is not Kisumu.

And this is the evidence
