Lango, Karamojong, Teso and Turkana are the same ethnic group. Acholi people refer to the Karamojongs as "Lango Dyang". Langis are Luo speaking but not Luo. Teso people refer to the Karamojong people as their uncles. There are some Luo people in Ethiopia, there is the Alur people who descended from Gipir, and Acholi's in North Uganda and South Sudan from Labongo, as some of the descendants continued looking for greener pastures, others settled in present Tororo bcoz their leader had a big ulcer wound on his leg (Adola), hence Jopadhola, others continued to present Kenya and even Tanzania near Lake Victoria called.Jaluo. Luos are very influential people. Those around them tend to speak their language or some of it. Including adopting their names. Check out the traditional dances.
@Lakerflora the language Langi speak is not true Luo either it is mixed with their original Ateker language. We should stop referring to it as a Luo language.
There are people in Zambia too called the LUO in Samfya and claims to have come from far north through Tanzania, Congo D.R. today entered through Northern province of Zambia through Mpika, Serenje and finally settled in Samfya district. I need to dig deeper as am one of them.
Us the Dinka and our brothers Nuer, we call ourselves Monyajng (meaning Men of Men, Lords of Men, or Masters of Humanity) and Naath, us too are descendants of Ancient Hebrews! Monyjang is comprise of Judah, Reuben, Levi, Simeon, Dan and Benjamin. According to my ancestors, us Monyjang and Naath came from Israel and settle in North Sudan. There were many migrations let by different priests. After living in Dongola (Sudan) to moved to Khartoum area and lived there for centuries. And around Middle Ages, they began to migrated to South Sudan to fulfill Isaiah 18. And also Tutsi, Massai, Wolof, Mandinka, Ga, Samburu, Lemba, and many other Nilotic peoples descendent from ancient Hebrews.
It is true Luos are decendant of David. I am very Humble We thank the Lord that our ancestor s Work very hard to please the Lord. Thru them we got the blessings e.g wisdom And many others.

The Luo travels from the city of Ur in Iran to the city of Uruk, in Iraq, Ur is Acholi Luo words. It means the city of wonder or place where wonder is done and Adam was named in Luo language which means brain Adam means brain and the place where Noah Ark landed Mount Ararat, was name in Acholi Luo language Ararat means a place where things were found scattered dead bodies of all sorts of all living being that was left dead and smelly was found from Uruk is when the Luo travels to Ethiopia and to.

Make sure you write these in a book both in local language or get it translated in African language. There has been a lot of deception to distort religion and people are searching for the truth.
This is abig big lie😢. Am an Acholi I grew up in teso land and lived there for yrs . Their language is 99.9% different from any Luo section. May be he is talking about the Kumam who are again just like Lango and Acholi labwor are assimilated Luos who settled next to the Luos esp the Acholis and got assimilated in to Luo and they lost their identity n language. Now they speak and conduct them selves just like Luos. Kumam, Lango, Iteso and Kejongs where one big family that got split in to many parts during migration. Make Ur own research n prove me wrong😂😂😂. But as for me I consider the Langi, Kumam and Acholi labwor my sweet brothers n sisters coz I lived with them for yrs. They are very good pipo
When we talk of luo migration, partly like from the beginning he's right but alot of controversy in his statement. Parwich is not in lango, and the langi moved from karamojong to lango region and dropped their original language called Ateker in favour of the luo language. The luo from Sudan came through Nebbi and the one's who came from their was giving and labongo. Alur descended from Gipir and the Acholi from Labongo. But others who moved with them formed the Bachope in Bunyoro kitara kingdom, Japadhola in Tororo, Jaluo in Kenya and other ruminant moved as far as Nigeria and many other countries. Others moved back to Sudan like the shilluk then back into Uganda again in the Eastern part of Uganda as of his story. So he started his Story very far. Pakwach is on your way to Nebbi at Bridge after Amoro and Nwoya district. Thank you
Where people migrate they all don't follow the same route, also know that migration and settlement and multiplication goes together so all the Luos can't only be from Labongo and Gipir.
The Gambella region of Ethiopia is home of Luos, they speak luo and use luo name, the area commissioner is a luo. One of the major tribes there is Anyuak
Luo people are not Bnei israel.actually most bnei Israel or Ben yahudim are heplotype E1B1 genetically .also for you to be Bnei Israel you must practice circumsition of kosher laws of which I know non luo people keep.
This is why we changed our cultural practices: Jeremiah 17:4 And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for eve - The verse is clear real Jews were prophesied to forget who they are, their customs, culture and identity Today we believe we are Hamitic speakers yet we are Nilo-semitic speakers
Peep this. When luos make an exclamation, they say ei "Yawa". This can be also said as "Oh God" In English, The true name of the heavenly Father in Hebrew is Yahuah.
Lwo/Luo are not JUST descendants of the son of king Solomon. Lwo are the 12 tribes of Israel, they existed before Solomon was born. The great-grand father of David/ DAUDI is called Obed which is a Lwo /Luo word - When people say "wek obedi ...
This man is lost whe queen Makeba of sheba was visiting Solomon Luos were there .Another thing the decendents of Solomon whom we believe are in Ethiopia do circumcision while Luos call circumcision the culture of bantu😂
This is interesting because when I first started listening to this video I was wondering if he was going to use biblical references to explain the origin of the Luo people. And then right after that he started explaining the biblical origins of the Luo people. I’m surprised to find out that the Luo people might actually be part of the 12 tribes of Yisrael because I always assumed that they’re Chamitic because they’re Nilotic Africans. I assumed that all Nilotic Africans are Chamitic. But now I’m hearing that some of the Nilotics might actually be Shemitic
I am Luo from Kenya.The Luos are nilotic.i doubt that we have any connection with the Jews!! However we originated from the current Sudan. Our closed relations in terms of Language are Alur (Jonam specifically).Next are Chur jol of present South Sudan,followed by the Anywak of Ethiopia.the Padhola are next may be due to proximity to Kenya.the rest then follow!!
Good to see a professor here. In a different video much related to this, someone commented that the name Pharaoh came from the word 'Rao' which is the luo term for buffalos that roamed in the nile up in Egypt and was given to a kind who was dark and huge like the buffallo. In addition that it was only after the migration started and them getting lost in the desert, that many settled in Sudan naming Khartoum from the word 'Kar tuom' which means to fetch as it was where they could fetch water. Much as all this is heresay, it is not worth considering that Moses was adopted into the Pharaoh's house and no one suspected he was a jew until he killed the egyptian (according to the Bible) which assumes that he physically must have appeared no different from the egyptians. In the same manner, Jesus was hidden in Egypt after his birth during the killings of the first borns (according to the Bible once again) and for some reason they simply couldnt find him. Again, all of it might b assumption, but coupled with such evidence and the fact that Ethiopian Jews are officially recognized as Jews even by the current state of Israel, I'd really like to know what ur take is from a learned perspective and if possible also just as a personal opinion. . Personally I agree with the history we were taught that Luo's originated from Bahr el Ghazel in Sudan, but evidence has just made me wish to dig deeper and id like to get a secon opinion from an academic giant such as yourself.
@@vee3687I have another one, Luos have no "shh " sound in theor whole language. The bible describes the tribe of Ephraim who could not pronounce the "shh" sound but they pronounced it as "sss". Also luos exclaim "Ei Yawa" to show that they are surprised. By YAH's grace we know that his true name of the heavenly Father is YAHUAH or YAHAWAH. So typicaly, Luos say "ei YAHUAH ( Ya-u or w-a). I would like to here your perspective as I am trying to gather as much evidence as I can on the people of Luo.
@@moreteavated I have never heard of this perspective but its worth considering. They say our history is hidden in aour language, because that is not so easily modified as written history. But i will definitely look further. In addition, Israel is still looking for the ten lost tribes and just as a personal opinion, I believe they'd be surprised to find that it is nothing close to what they expect. Reminds me of the Bible saying that Esau was of red skin and hairy body, as a personal opinion again... i dont think it would have been worth mentioning if a majority of his clan or tribe had a similar appearance.
This is revising history to attach ourselves to greatness yet we're already with a great and rich history. I see nothing tying us to Israel but a lot ties us to Egypt/Sudan. We have a rich enough history please.
We hear and understand everything that is spoken by the Ethiopian Luo (anywasks). Their ways of life, dances, swags, pride, everything, the same. Very interesting. Even the name Ethiopia is derived from A(/E/I)tio (I/yo/we work) pi(for) Anu (God). Some very interesting historical facts.
Iv had debate with a Luo woman who told me the ANCIENT ARTIFACT that I had shown her from Egypt, she says that belongs to the Luo not the Egyptians! I told her SHE IS THE EGYPTIAN. She says Egyptians are not Africans. I said, only because you now live in Kenya!🤣🤷🏽♂️ Around in circles we went! She struggled to overcome colonizer teachings!🤦🏽♂️😁
@@erinahtl She Recognized it from seeing it her whole life while growing up!.. Moses said he took A MIXED MULTITUDE of African Tribes to go worship!.. So it is not just the Luo!.. MOST African Tribes Have Some Link to the Africans that Wrote the Bible!
@@erinahtl I'm not sure the Bible tell the whole story but if one is Using African Cultural wisdom and awareness there is more in the stories than meets the eye!.. I believe this is how It is Discerned that Queen Sheeba Returned to Africa with Baby by Pan African Solomon!😁🤔😲
My question is what qualifies one to be a luo. Please give at least upto 5 good reasons. At least this guy in this video has given one biblical perspective. Okay.
THIS IS NONESENSE. Itesots are not Nilotics. They are Nilo Hamites. Iteso, Karamojong, Lango or Jie and Turkana are the same ethnic group. The Jie learnt Acholi and left their original languages. The Luo tribes are Acholi, Alur, Jopadhola, and Jaluo in Kenya and Tanzania.
The Luo Histories is one of the strongest histories of the World, Starting from Adam, Adam's name is given by God to be call Adam which if you explained in Lou Adam mean (Brain) the Lou Hebrew have witnessed the Flood of the word and the lending of the Boat known as the Ark Control by( Nua ) or Noah in English so they name the Mountain where the Ark landed and settle on the rock then Name it Mount Ararat it means on landing on land from the sea they found the place was flooded with dread bodies of animal, humans and all sort of living thing that did not survive the food and name it Ararat, the Mountain still exist and can be found in the eastern Turkey overlooking Armenia, and Afghanistan before they name Kairo and Katum
Hello I'm Luo Alur, I'm confused with this video, if we are luo descended of King Solomon why are our skill are so dark like that, you can see Ethiopia people how brown-skin there are it showed that people from Ethiopia are descendant of King Solomon, maybe we need to ask some of Luo elder to explain for us the history of luo, even me I want to know where luo original come from 🧐
Very few Ethiopian population are light skinned. Look up other tribes such as Mursi, Oromo, Afar you will see that alot of them have darker complexion. Israel had 12 tribes remember that, I'm sure they were not all the same skin color. I know a lot of Luos from Siaya Kenya that have very fair complexion.
True ethiopians are dark skin and being discriminated or eliminated by the brown skinned ones. Also the original Jews were not europeans so Jesus was not white as the EU people deceived us. Luo did not come from Solomon that man is just talking things from his own ambition. Lwo were there before solomon.
In revelation, Jesus/God describes his skin as very dark, burnt in a furnace. Solomon and his lover describe their skins being very dark, like midnight.
Thanks because I was wondering the Luos are Nilotics who used to live along the river Nile which was created before Solomon came into existence and how can the Luo originate from him?
This is total fabrication of history ! We have nothing to do with the Bible nor Isreal! Yes , it’s true that some of us came from Ethiopia 🇪🇹, especially Lango people. Moreover Lango aren’t even considered Luo but we just took up Luo language. We are culturally more in tune with Teso and Karimojong. Most of our Lango clans exist in Teso clans too. For example my clan , Okarowok. We are no wiser than any other people/tribe
@Dee Owako Yeah I've always said this Luos are original Egyptian and Langos including Lngo of Uganda and Masaai are Kushites like Somalia. Our folklore says Lango originally migrated from Eritrea among the Dune and Bako people and blended with the Somalis wine three clans split the Iseera who are Masaai, Kalenjin etc, the Tiro who are SSudanese Lango and the Lango Bako who are Lango of Uganda including all Ateker. You can not be that clear and detailed unless true. Luo protagonists stop at only linguistic evidence they don't go deep. Because there is no depth.
Not really true and the Ethiopians who are descendants of King Solomon are the ones who came from Yemen and don't the history and the Anyauk and the Nuer tribes of South Western Ethiopia are original people of Sudan and moved along the river Nile from South Kordofan and majority of them are still live in South Sudan
ngongah billy religious propagators who put up films that Jesus was a white European -this is indeed a fabrication. You should start your enquiry from there.
The man is mixing Luo/Lwo people and Lango people these are two different ethnic groups. Lango are Ateker people who are related to Karamojong. They have a different migration history to Luo.

May be he is talking about the Kumam who are again just like Lango and Acholi labwor are assimilated Luos who settled next to the Luos esp the Acholis and got assimilated in to Luo and they lost their identity n language. Now they speak and conduct them selves just like Luos. Kumam, Lango, Iteso and Kejongs where one big family that got split in to many parts during migration. Make Ur own research n prove me wrong😂😂😂. But as for me I consider the Langi, Kumam and Acholi labwor my sweet brothers n sisters coz I lived with them for yrs. They are very good pipo
I'm a Luo from Ethiopia
Ethopian luo, greeting from a Kenyan luo 😂😂😂,
I have been wondering why Luo traditions including names find traces among the Ibo of Nigeria in West Africa.
Luos are ancient Egyptians since they originate from the Sudan ,
Luos are Hebrews not Egyptians,
Egypt was the son of Ham while Luos descended from Shem , we are Nilo-semitic not Nilo-hamitic
@@Accountability202 what about the kalenjins ?
@@Divinebabalon they're Nilo-semitic as well
@@Divinebabalon Kalenjins are not Semitic they are Hamites like the group of people in Uganda e.g. Kumam, Teso, Langi, Koromajong etc.
@@Accountability202 Kalenjins are Hamites
When we talk of luo migration, partly like from the beginning he's right but alot of controversy in his statement. Parwich is not in lango, and the langi moved from karamojong to lango region and dropped their original language called Ateker in favour of the luo language. The luo from Sudan came through Nebbi and the one's who came from their was giving and labongo. Alur descended from Gipir and the Acholi from Labongo. But others who moved with them formed the Bachope in Bunyoro kitara kingdom, Japadhola in Tororo, Jaluo in Kenya and other ruminant moved as far as Nigeria and many other countries. Others moved back to Sudan like the shilluk then back into Uganda again in the Eastern part of Uganda as of his story. So he started his Story very far. Pakwach is on your way to Nebbi at Bridge after Amoro and Nwoya district. Thank you

You're reaching, Igbos are Niger-Congo, we don't even carry the same paternal ancestry.
Where people migrate they all don't follow the same route, also know that migration and settlement and multiplication goes together so all the Luos can't only be from Labongo and Gipir.
The Gambella region of Ethiopia is home of Luos, they speak luo and use luo name, the area commissioner is a luo. One of the major tribes there is Anyuak

Luo people are not Bnei israel.actually most bnei Israel or Ben yahudim are heplotype E1B1 genetically .also for you to be Bnei Israel you must practice circumsition of kosher laws of which I know non luo people keep.
This is why we changed our cultural practices:
Jeremiah 17:4 And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for eve
- The verse is clear real Jews were prophesied to forget who they are, their customs, culture and identity
Today we believe we are Hamitic speakers yet we are Nilo-semitic speakers
Peep this.
When luos make an exclamation, they say ei "Yawa". This can be also said as "Oh God" In English, The true name of the heavenly Father in Hebrew is Yahuah.
Yahuah is a Swahilli pronunciation. It is YAWE in the origianal tounge.
Lwo/Luo are not JUST descendants of the son of king Solomon. Lwo are the 12 tribes of Israel, they existed before Solomon was born. The great-grand father of David/ DAUDI is called Obed which is a Lwo /Luo word - When people say "wek obedi ...

This is interesting because when I first started listening to this video I was wondering if he was going to use biblical references to explain the origin of the Luo people. And then right after that he started explaining the biblical origins of the Luo people.
I’m surprised to find out that the Luo people might actually be part of the 12 tribes of Yisrael because I always assumed that they’re Chamitic because they’re Nilotic Africans. I assumed that all Nilotic Africans are Chamitic.
But now I’m hearing that some of the Nilotics might actually be Shemitic

Good to see a professor here. In a different video much related to this, someone commented that the name Pharaoh came from the word 'Rao' which is the luo term for buffalos that roamed in the nile up in Egypt and was given to a kind who was dark and huge like the buffallo. In addition that it was only after the migration started and them getting lost in the desert, that many settled in Sudan naming Khartoum from the word 'Kar tuom' which means to fetch as it was where they could fetch water. Much as all this is heresay, it is not worth considering that Moses was adopted into the Pharaoh's house and no one suspected he was a jew until he killed the egyptian (according to the Bible) which assumes that he physically must have appeared no different from the egyptians. In the same manner, Jesus was hidden in Egypt after his birth during the killings of the first borns (according to the Bible once again) and for some reason they simply couldnt find him. Again, all of it might b assumption, but coupled with such evidence and the fact that Ethiopian Jews are officially recognized as Jews even by the current state of Israel, I'd really like to know what ur take is from a learned perspective and if possible also just as a personal opinion.
.
Personally I agree with the history we were taught that Luo's originated from Bahr el Ghazel in Sudan, but evidence has just made me wish to dig deeper and id like to get a secon opinion from an academic giant such as yourself.
The day people learn the extent of the lies fed to us by bazungu, you'll be amazed.a
@@vee3687I have another one, Luos have no "shh " sound in theor whole language. The bible describes the tribe of Ephraim who could not pronounce the "shh" sound but they pronounced it as "sss". Also luos exclaim "Ei Yawa" to show that they are surprised. By YAH's grace we know that his true name of the heavenly Father is YAHUAH or YAHAWAH. So typicaly, Luos say "ei YAHUAH ( Ya-u or w-a).
I would like to here your perspective as I am trying to gather as much evidence as I can on the people of Luo.
@@moreteavated I have never heard of this perspective but its worth considering. They say our history is hidden in aour language, because that is not so easily modified as written history. But i will definitely look further. In addition, Israel is still looking for the ten lost tribes and just as a personal opinion, I believe they'd be surprised to find that it is nothing close to what they expect. Reminds me of the Bible saying that Esau was of red skin and hairy body, as a personal opinion again... i dont think it would have been worth mentioning if a majority of his clan or tribe had a similar appearance.
This is revising history to attach ourselves to greatness yet we're already with a great and rich history. I see nothing tying us to Israel but a lot ties us to Egypt/Sudan. We have a rich enough history please.
The whole of middle East was once north Africa that's why most of their old Kings were all blacks.

My question is what qualifies one to be a luo. Please give at least upto 5 good reasons. At least this guy in this video has given one biblical perspective. Okay.
In Luo, do they also call the son of God Jesus?
THIS IS NONESENSE. Itesots are not Nilotics. They are Nilo Hamites. Iteso, Karamojong, Lango or Jie and Turkana are the same ethnic group. The Jie learnt Acholi and left their original languages. The Luo tribes are Acholi, Alur, Jopadhola, and Jaluo in Kenya and Tanzania.
So that word "Nilo" what is its etomology?
@@valerius72 Just means people who settled around river Nile - people call this river in different local languages e.g. nam kir.
The Luo Histories is one of the strongest histories of the World, Starting from Adam, Adam's name is given by God to be call Adam which if you explained in Lou Adam mean (Brain) the Lou Hebrew have witnessed the Flood of the word and the lending of the Boat known as the Ark Control by( Nua ) or Noah in English so they name the Mountain where the Ark landed and settle on the rock then Name it Mount Ararat it means on landing on land from the sea they found the place was flooded with dread bodies of animal, humans and all sort of living thing that did not survive the food and name it Ararat, the Mountain still exist and can be found in the eastern Turkey overlooking Armenia, and Afghanistan before they name Kairo and Katum
Nonsense
They to say...that they were all desendants of ramogi.....and do you know that the luos participated....in the building of the of tye pyramids.....
But I think Solomon and David used to honour circumcision!! expound please as they were descendants of Abraham!!!

i am curious about your name...i am named after Erina who was my grandma

Hello I'm Luo Alur, I'm confused with this video, if we are luo descended of King Solomon why are our skill are so dark like that, you can see Ethiopia people how brown-skin there are it showed that people from Ethiopia are descendant of King Solomon, maybe we need to ask some of Luo elder to explain for us the history of luo, even me I want to know where luo original come from 🧐
Very few Ethiopian population are light skinned. Look up other tribes such as Mursi, Oromo, Afar you will see that alot of them have darker complexion.
Israel had 12 tribes remember that, I'm sure they were not all the same skin color.
I know a lot of Luos from Siaya Kenya that have very fair complexion.
@ladysafari01 the luo from suya are Basuba basuba are bantu who came from uganda and joined luos in kisumu and totally lost their identity 😂😂
King Solomon saw people whom the sun scorched their skin and they became dark skinned people.See the book of Solomon -Song of songs
True ethiopians are dark skin and being discriminated or eliminated by the brown skinned ones. Also the original Jews were not europeans so Jesus was not white as the EU people deceived us. Luo did not come from Solomon that man is just talking things from his own ambition. Lwo were there before solomon.
In revelation, Jesus/God describes his skin as very dark, burnt in a furnace. Solomon and his lover describe their skins being very dark, like midnight.
This is false history and not good for the children. I can’t believe what lies I’m hearing.
What a fat lie. Luos origin goes beyond/past King Solomon and David, past even Abraham.
Anuak of Ethiopia and Luos are cousins
The Luo were in existence before King Solomon!

This is total fabrication of history ! We have nothing to do with the Bible nor Isreal! Yes , it’s true that some of us came from Ethiopia 🇪🇹, especially Lango people. Moreover Lango aren’t even considered Luo but we just took up Luo language. We are culturally more in tune with Teso and Karimojong. Most of our Lango clans exist in Teso clans too. For example my clan , Okarowok. We are no wiser than any other people/tribe
@Dee Owako Yeah I've always said this Luos are original Egyptian and Langos including Lngo of Uganda and Masaai are Kushites like Somalia. Our folklore says Lango originally migrated from Eritrea among the Dune and Bako people and blended with the Somalis wine three clans split the Iseera who are Masaai, Kalenjin etc, the Tiro who are SSudanese Lango and the Lango Bako who are Lango of Uganda including all Ateker. You can not be that clear and detailed unless true. Luo protagonists stop at only linguistic evidence they don't go deep. Because there is no depth.
Am enjoying these videos though I may not agree with everything
Not really true and the Ethiopians who are descendants of King Solomon are the ones who came from Yemen and don't the history and the Anyauk and the Nuer tribes of South Western Ethiopia are original people of Sudan and moved along the river Nile from South Kordofan and majority of them are still live in South Sudan
Interesting that we are luos... but I don't buy his whole theory though. (Side note, this guy speaks like Amin of Uganda)
