Wow! thats amazing first time hearing and understanding some of the words of the Luo of Tanzania. The accent sounds like a mixer of the chollo (Shilluk) and Dha Anywaa of South Sudan/Ethiopia.
That elder is knowledgeable and wise , he should work very hard to unite all Luo community of TZ. He should also cross to Kenya and talk to Kenyan elder about unity of all Luo Nation of East Africa so as to form a very strong Nation. Thank you Mr. Kogot. This is impeccable job. Keep it up.

Luo of Tanzania and luo of Kenya are actually a single group separated by a border. Same dialect, same accent.
Happy that you enjoyed the Interview. Help me share it widely with your friends and family. I need more luos here.

His maternal granny was a Luo.
Mr. Ngoje Ongati taught in 2000s in Shirati. He used to be a good teacher.
A well-detailed man.
Joluo duto mag East & Central Africa romo 18.5 Million. Mano ketowa #1 e East Africa. Ng'eny kod bedo achiel en teko.
Joluo ma tanzania onego o embrace education and seek political positions too mondo oyaw gwenge luo ma piny tanganyika
Yeah, I think local investments would be good too. Shirati doesn't have adequate investments as it should.

Am in a class learning more about my people.
Why are they not using common Luo names
Because some are Abasuba names
