The ambiance in Milimani has really choreographed with you.The serene scenic environment is mouthwatering,I hear the birds chirping connection with nature is real .❤❤One love from Mombasa ✅
Actually most part of Kenya is clean… it’s only Nairobi that struggles with littering but Central Kenya, Western, and even the Coast is cleaner than most African countries
Come to Nakuru my brother,rich neighborhoods of Nakuru are Milimani estate ,section 58 estate ,naka estate and Kiamunyi estate...Nakuru is also clean and well organized
Milimani is the only rich neighbourhood in Nakuru the rest are just apartments and they are just like Roysambu Nairobi not that posh but Kisumu kuna Tom mboya estate kuna Riat estate kuna Kanyakwar which are just like Runda not forgetting Milimani Kisumu pia
@@itsomwengaTHen if those you are calling rich neighbourhoods basi Kisumu tukona tones of those and bigger than those .....check polyview estate for example which is bigger and larger than this one you've mentioned hapa😂😂na ni apartments tu not rich
There are milimanis across all towns in Kenya where senior government officials and elites stay. By the way, two of the richest Indian men in Kenya - Somaiya and Pattni were both born and brought up in Kisumu
Kisumu is cosmopolitan with multiple racial and ethnic groups but the Nilotic Luo form a significant portion of the population . There is a large population of Asian Indian and most recently White particularly from US have settled in Kisumu, Mombasa and Nairobi(US state department records show that approximately 40,000 from US live in Kenya permanently with at least 300K visiting in 2019 alone) .
Most recently also Asian Japanese and Chinese investors are present in Kisumu and to a lesser extent Kenyan Arabs . Other Kenyan ethnic groups including the neighboring Kisii(Abagusii), Kuria(Abakuria) and Luhya(Abaluhya) are domiciled in Kisumu .

These include Jinja, Kampala, Tororo, Gulu in Uganda, Khartoum and Juba in Sudan, Bunia, Beni, Butembo in DRC Congo, Gambella Ethiopia, Cairo Egypt etc . The largest population of Kenya Luo in Uganda is in Pakwach .
There is a small museum in Kisumu on the history and also there is a museum of Luo history in Pakwach(Ker Panyimur Kwonga Chiefdom in Jonam County of Pakwach district) Uganda . Also Makerere University in Uganda and University of Nairobi Kenya documents Luo History in addition to the National Archives and National Museum in Nairobi Kenya .
In Ethiopia the Luo-Anywaa in Gambella . In Uganda including first Independent Uganda president Milton Obote(There is Obote Road in Kisumu) who was friends with Kenya Nationalist Oginga Odinga . They both attended Uganda's Makerere University and were founders of Kenya's Independence party .
In Congo DRC the Luo-Alur fought alongside Laurent Kabila in Eastern Congo against Mobutu Sese Seko . And the Luo of Tanzania participated in Independence movements first against the Germans then the British .
At least 4-5million Nilotic Luo in Tanganyika,5-6million Luo in Kenya,At least 8million Luo-Alur spread across DRC Congo and Uganda and millions other Luo groups across East, Central, North/North-East Africa etc .
You seem not to be informed,United is a Millers company,that is wheat flour,maize flour etc,they also have their bread brand and the Miller is located in the industrial area parts of Kisumu, Theyve also invested in property eg United Mall in Kisumu, which is among top malls in Kisumu city, And apartments eg United Courts & united apartments like the ones youve seen in the video,their property is high end, So its a millers company based in kisumu that have invested in different high end properties of Malls and apartments as well in Kisumu

Lake Victoria has port cities in Mwanza in Tanzania, Kisumu in Kenya and Entebbe in Uganda . Tanzania and Kenya are building Cruises that will be plying the 3 cities . The Nilotic Luo groups occupy both Mara, Mwanza Tanzania and Kisumu Kenya . The Maasai are also found in Tanzania and Kenya . Kisumu, Kenya was the capital of Eastern Uganda under British East Africa . Mombasa ,Kenya was the capital of British East Africa . Bagamoyo,Dar es salaam and Tabora were the capital of German East Africa .
The Nilotic Luo groups have relied on lakes including L.Victoria and the Nile for Sustenance for centuries . Prof Henry Louis Gates ,Harvard, did DNA on ACTRESS LUPITA NYONGO and found direct link to the DNA identified with the first woman to walk on earth . The ancient descendant of Eve .
Kisumu is in western part of Kenya . In post Independence Kenya Kisumu was in Nyanza province . Under British Colonization the territories south of Kisumu were considered South Nyanza, those close to Kisumu, Central Nyanza and those North of Kisumu, North Nyanza . Present day Western Province primarily inhabited by AbaLuhya groups was North Nyanza . Kisumu was the capital of Eastern Uganda , under British East Africa . The capital of British East Africa was Mombasa .
The groups around Lake Victoria were historically referenced as Kavirondo Nilotics or the Luo and Kavirondo Bantus or the Luhya(abaluhya), Kuria(abakuria), Kisii(abagusii) and the smaller known Kavirondo(abakavirondo) who were eventually assimilated by the Luo . The kavirondo preceded other Bantu groups in the region . The Luo also assimilated the Bantu Suba, linguistically, socially, culturally and through intermarriages over centuries .
Historically the Nilotic Luo, led by skilled warriors such as Owiny and Lwanda Magere, fought several territorial conflicts with their Nilotic Kalenjin neighbors, particularly the Nandi and Kipsigis groups . Historically Nilotic groups including the Maasai, Turkana, Toposa, Karamoja, Samburu etc had conflicts over grazing land due to their pastoralist lifestyles .
But the Luo like other Nilotic groups were pastoralists but also were primarily river lake Nilotes(like other groups along the Nile valley) with extensive boat-making and fishing cultures due to their Origin in the Nile Valley of Sudan/Lower Egypt . In addition the Luo practiced small scale farming in the past but at a lower level compared to their neighboring Bantu groups who were primarily farmers .

There is Obote Road and Kampala Road in Kisumu . Uganda President Milton Obote and Kenya Independence VP Oginga Odinga were close friends graduates of Makerere University and Milton Obote a frequent visitor to Kisumu . In pre-independence Kenya Milton Obote lived and worked in Kenya and was a founding member of Kenya's Independence party . Tanzania president Julius Nyerere was also a graduate of Makerere University Uganda .
Yoweri Museveni was an assistant researcher to Milton Obote who facilitated his studies in University of Dar es Salaam courtesy of his friend Julius Nyerere after Museveni failed to gain entry into Makerere University . Milton Obote supported by Gen Tito Okello,Gen Bazillion Olara Okello and Gen Oyite Ojok disagreed with Yoweri Museveni in 1980 . Yoweri Museveni then launched Luweero war against Milton Obote and Gen Tito Okello .
Between 1981-86 Paul Kagame, Chris Bunyenyezi, Major Frank Munyaneza,Peter Baingana and Fred Rwigyema together with other banyarwanda tutsi exiled in Uganda fought alongside Yoweri Museveni(banyankole/bahima) in Uganda .
Weeeh after watching Kisumu ,I do wonder where Kenya government got the audacity of naming Eldoret a city ..na wajaluo muache kungangana na Sisi wakikuyu plot za Nairobi.. Build in Kisumu it's marvelous 😂😂😂 24:0824:11
The largest population of Nilotic Kenya Luo in Uganda is in Pakwach just like Kisumu . During the East Africa community some Luo of Kenya moved to Uganda for work and some Luo of Kenya moved to Tanganyika Mwanza for work and also in the sisal farms .
A famous Kenya soccer Gor Mahia midfielder Tim Ayieko moved with his family to Uganda and represented Uganda Cranes . His parents worked and lived in Kampala . During the reign of Idi Amin they moved back to Kenya where he signed up for Gor Mahia and played alongside another Ugandan Abbey Nassur , a Nuba . The Nubians and Luo have historical ties from Sudan,Uganda and Kenya . In Kenya they are also found in Kisumu,Meru,Nakuru and Kendu Bay etc .
Uganda cranes has been coached by Nilotic Luo such as Tim Ayieko ,Polly Ouma and David Otti . Also Tim Ayieko's brother Phillip Omondi played for the cranes and a stadium in Kampala Uganda named after him . There is a famous Uganda/Kenya Journalist called CHARLES ONYANGO-OBBO who is LUO-JOPADHOLA and has been critical of YOWERI MUSEVENI'S REGIME .
Branches of Luo-Union were spread across East, Central, North/North East Africa including in Tanzania Dar-es-salaam, Mwanza, Musoma, Bukoba etc In Uganda , Kampala, Jinja, Lira, Kitgum, Tororo, Aura etc In Sudan Khartoum, Bar el Ghazal, Juba etc In Egypt Abu Simbel, Aegan, Cairo, In Ethiopia Gambella, Addis Ababa etc In Kenya Mombasa, Kisumu, Nairobi, In Zanzibar etc , In Congo Bunia, Beni, Butembo, Kinshasa etc .
Isolating yourself is way better than discriminating mistreating n isolating others who don’t look like or agree with u. Also remember, as long as you are not in Nairobi, the rest of the country is based on tribe. Each county has one major tribe then very few others. Being that Kisumu is mainly Luos, I think it’s only fair Indians live where they feel like they belong just like we Luos do…
@@genesisbera7761 Kisumu has one of the largest irrigation schemes in Kenya. It is One of the top producers of Rice in Kenya. Kisumu also leads in Sugar & Fish production.
How old is kisumu city. Kisumu is looks calm and organised than Mbarara city Since many politicians in uganda are watching your vlog ,i hope they are learning how cities are setup.not just naming towns cities. Tell those planners in uganda that once u grant a town a city status u are supposed to set up necessary infrastructure and administration. Imagine people travelling from upcountry to go to kampala for passport,ID, certificates,driving permits, instead of decentralising every to everything in those cities
Milimani is beautiful but it was disappointing to hear racism being described as being conservative and just accepted as normal. If a Kenyan goes to one of the Indian only hospitals, schools etc, do they get turned away? Do people just shrug and walk away?
The Nilotic Luo also found in KISUMU KENYA are diasporic(at least 20-25million spread out at least 9-12 territories including Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya ,DRC Congo, Chad, Central Africa Republic, Sudan/Lower Egypt, Ethiopia Gambella/Eritrea, Cameroon Luo- Bantu assimilated by late 1990's) and settled thousands years with skilled warriors(e.g Owiny,Adhola Obando Mumbo, Ogutu Kipapi, Lela Kabanda, Tawo Kogot, Onyango Randar, Oracha Rambo, Lwanda Magere and others) through conquest, intermarriage and assimilation e.g Luo-Suba in Kenya, Tanzania and Luo-Babito/Luo-Langi/Luo-Kumam in Uganda with tendencies for large families thanks to history of polygamy in the past like all other AFRO groups .
Other Assimilated groups in Kenya and Tanzania included Luo-Marachi(Abamarachi),Luo-Wasweta(Abasweta),Luo-Kavirondo(Abarondo),Luo-Kanjuro(Abanjuro),Luo-Mikiria(Abakiria),Luo-Basi(Ababasi),Luo-Mugirango(Abagirango) . The Kavirondo were the original occupants of the L.Victoria region in Western Kenya before Luo occupation and assimilation .
The Luo conquered several kingdoms in the past through their southward movement and contributed to banyarwanda tutsi southwest movement to present day Rwanda/Congo, influencing rulership for Luo-babito under Bunyoro Kitara and Baganda Kingdoms in Uganda .
Kenya Luo proper(Kenya Nationalist Tom Mboya, VP Oginga Odinga ,1st black Lawyer East Africa Argwings Kodhek,OBAMA ,LUPITA NYONGO ),Luo-Suba . Tanzania Luo proper(Timothy Apiyo, head of public service and Chief secretary under president Julius Nyerere), Luo-Suba,Luo-Wasweta,Luo-Mukisero .
Uganda Luo-Langi(President Milton Obote, Army chief of staff Gen David Oyite Ojok, Gen Smith Acak Opon, Lt Col John Charles Ogole, zanzibar liberator John Gideon Okello , united Tanganyika+Zanzibar=Tanzania) .
Uganda Luo-Acholi(Presidents Gen Tito Okello and Army Commander Gen Bazillio Olara Okello,Airforce Director,Maj Alfred Otto, Major Stephen Abili,Airforce pilots Cpt Harry Oluoch,Cpt Eric Odwar etc) .
Between 1971 and 1979 Mwanza on Lake Victoria in Tanganyika and Kisumu on L. Victoria in Kenya played host to Uganda exiles against Idi Amin led by Gen Tito Okello, Gen David Oyite Ojok and Gen Bazillion Olara Okello .
In Mwanza the soldiers were given land by Tanzania President Julius Nyerere and transformed a once sleepy town into a bustling farming and trade center in the area they occupied . The exiles farmed Tobacco and Millet and sold to the locals . And on exit left their land and homes to the locals . Gen Bazillio Olara Okello's house still stands . Uganda exiles won the hearts of the locals with their hard work in the area .
At least 800 Uganda Luo-Langi and Luo-Acholi soldiers died in the rebellion against Idi Amin . At least 300 died in Lake Victoria when their boat from Mwanza and Kisumu towards Entebbe capsized . The soldiers had been trained in Uganda by Gen Bazillio Olara Okello as an Infrantry instructor at Jinja . Together with Lt Shaban Opolot ,Gen Bazillio Okello had established the 2nd Battalion in Moroto Uganda .
In 1971 Idi Amin had staged a coup against President Milton Obote and became president of Uganda . Milton Obote had criticized the apartheid regime in South Africa and the UK government detested his position on South Africa . Britain then supported Idi Amin’s coup against Milton Obote .
In 1979 Uganda exiles in Tanzania, Kenya led by Uganda National Liberation Army Commander Gen Tito Okello, Gen Bazillio Olara Okello, Gen Oyite Ojok together with Airforce Commander Major Alfred Otto, Airforce Cpt Harry Oluoch , Cpt Peter Oringi , Lt Col John Ogole , Buffalo Commander Major Eric Odwar, Cpt Oyile, Lt Okot,Lt Okumu,Jabuloni Okee,Lt Col Adiryano Ojok,Gen Smith Opon Acak,Major John Olwo,Laban Okello and Gereson Okello supported by Tanzania President Julius Nyerere and Kenya VP Oginga Odinga launched a rebellion against Idi Amin through Mwanza ,Tanzania/Kisumu ,Kenya on L. Victoria restoring President Milton Obote .
The original Luo Union soccer club started in Mwanza Tanganyika among the Nilotic Luo peoples of Tanganyika and Kenya . Luo Union Nairobi followed the movement from Tanganyika of some Kenya Luo back to Kenya after Independence . Some of them were working on plantations in Mwanza . DO Misiani born in Mara Region of Tanganyika domiciled and died in Kisumu and buried in Tarime Tanganyika is embodiment of Luo Union through Benga infusion including that of Luo-Alur in Congo and Luo-Alur in uganda . Luo Union Mombasa morphed into Ramogi FC .
I feel like you havent explored it well, Infact the nicest looking part of housing and institutions of milimani havent been featured,you need to find more time & move around more
Uganda has very good housings better than our neighbours something I noticed. Even their apartments look good. However, the road infrastructure in Uganda is quack .The government needs to borrow a leaf from our neighbours
@@section8ight174 hahahaa your diagnosis is simple , anchoring bias or rather confirmation bias couple that with jealousy you have one sour hater 🤣 it's a disease most you you Tanzanians suffer from. You've forced your brain to believe Kenya has nothing to offer and that Tanzania is the best country in the world , now that vedios are delivering some reality check your brain gets confused and Ur only choice is to leave a hateful comment. Ugandans are literally admitting that Kisumu is more developed and civilised than Kampala but anchoring bias wants to see Burundi 🤣🤣 go touch some grass buddy
but as much as kisumu is very clean.. but know that eldoret is the 3rd most bustling city in kenya after nairobi and mombasa. eldoret streets has the moi avenue/tom mboya street vybe, where businesses close down as late as 11pm. whereas in kisumu, businesses in the scanty cbd closes down at 7:00pm
In Eldoret the entire CBD is along the narrow Uganda Road which makes it congested gives it an illusion of vibrance. Kisumu is more spread out with wider roads & more bypasses. The Malls & most Businesses are also in the suburbs not CBD, the CBD only houses Banks, Restaurants & university Campuses. Suburbs like Kondele are more vibrant than the CBD, Kondele is a 24 hour economy. If kisumu was planned along one narrow highway like Eldoret, Kisumu would be more congested than Nairobi. Statistically Kisumu has a bigger GDP than Eldoret despite not being as congested. It is a perfectly planned city
bro, then u've never been to eldoret lately. eldoret has deep crisscrossing streets and alleys, that are very busy and vibrant like the downtown of nairobi. uganda road only passes on the edges and without much happenings along it, apart from government offices and petrol stations, and some banks and hotels.
@@freddiekipkoech4752 what was the last time you were in Kisumu? Eldoret airport is closed by 4.30pm and so are most of the transportation except for Nairobi bound ones.Eldy is simply an agricultural town like Kitale while Kisumu is an industrial city

If Uganda didn't have the DICTATOR , we could have been more developed than our neighbouring countries. 😢
Isolating yourself is way better than discriminating mistreating n isolating others who don’t look like or agree with u. Also remember, as long as you are not in Nairobi, the rest of the country is based on tribe. Each county has one major tribe then very few others. Being that Kisumu is mainly Luos, I think it’s only fair Indians live where they feel like they belong just like we Luos do…
Kisumu experience conventional rainfall. 2 weeks do not pass without rain
That's true, no wonder i have never seen Kisumu people being given relief food like we see in the Northern and Eastern parts of Kenya

Actually Tom mboya is old money. Milimani just holds status
Even in Nairobi we have mlimani
even nakuru and kitale
What you call "conservative" in Kisumu is what other people might consider racist.
How old is kisumu city.
Kisumu is looks calm and organised than Mbarara city
Since many politicians in uganda are watching your vlog ,i hope they are learning how cities are setup.not just naming towns cities.
Tell those planners in uganda that once u grant a town a city status u are supposed to set up necessary infrastructure and administration.
Imagine people travelling from upcountry to go to kampala for passport,ID, certificates,driving permits, instead of decentralising every to everything in those cities

Milimani is beautiful but it was disappointing to hear racism being described as being conservative and just accepted as normal. If a Kenyan goes to one of the Indian only hospitals, schools etc, do they get turned away? Do people just shrug and walk away?
The Nilotic Luo also found in KISUMU KENYA are diasporic(at least 20-25million spread out at least 9-12 territories including Tanzania, Uganda, Kenya ,DRC Congo, Chad, Central Africa Republic, Sudan/Lower Egypt, Ethiopia Gambella/Eritrea, Cameroon Luo- Bantu assimilated by late 1990's) and settled thousands years with skilled warriors(e.g Owiny,Adhola Obando Mumbo, Ogutu Kipapi, Lela Kabanda, Tawo Kogot, Onyango Randar, Oracha Rambo, Lwanda Magere and others) through conquest, intermarriage and assimilation e.g Luo-Suba in Kenya, Tanzania and Luo-Babito/Luo-Langi/Luo-Kumam in Uganda with tendencies for large families thanks to history of polygamy in the past like all other AFRO groups .
Other Assimilated groups in Kenya and Tanzania included Luo-Marachi(Abamarachi),Luo-Wasweta(Abasweta),Luo-Kavirondo(Abarondo),Luo-Kanjuro(Abanjuro),Luo-Mikiria(Abakiria),Luo-Basi(Ababasi),Luo-Mugirango(Abagirango) .
The Kavirondo were the original occupants of the L.Victoria region in Western Kenya before Luo occupation and assimilation .
The Luo conquered several kingdoms in the past through their southward movement and contributed to banyarwanda tutsi southwest movement to present day Rwanda/Congo, influencing rulership for Luo-babito under Bunyoro Kitara and Baganda Kingdoms in Uganda .

In Mwanza the soldiers were given land by Tanzania President Julius Nyerere and transformed a once sleepy town into a bustling farming and trade center in the area they occupied .
The exiles farmed Tobacco and Millet and sold to the locals .
And on exit left their land and homes to the locals . Gen Bazillio Olara Okello's house still stands . Uganda exiles won the hearts of the locals with their hard work in the area .
At least 800 Uganda Luo-Langi and Luo-Acholi soldiers died in the rebellion against Idi Amin . At least 300 died in Lake Victoria when their boat from Mwanza and Kisumu towards Entebbe capsized .
The soldiers had been trained in Uganda by Gen Bazillio Olara Okello as an Infrantry instructor at Jinja . Together with Lt Shaban Opolot ,Gen Bazillio Okello had established the 2nd Battalion in Moroto Uganda .
In 1971 Idi Amin had staged a coup against President Milton Obote and became president of Uganda . Milton Obote had criticized the apartheid regime in South Africa and the UK government detested his position on South Africa .
Britain then supported Idi Amin’s coup against Milton Obote .

Uganda has very good housings better than our neighbours something I noticed. Even their apartments look good. However, the road infrastructure in Uganda is quack .The government needs to borrow a leaf from our neighbours
You should have continued with the previous tour guide this one no
@Ug connect the rich people are the ones who are heavily involved with the wash wash bussiness😂😂😂
Tugende is bantu word meaning twende
Mainly its a luganda word
use the term "kupekua" instead of "kuchunguza".
kupekua means, exploring deep
Actually Google says Kuchunguza is to explore 😅
Kuzuru is a better term
@@sospeterodongo6966 The meaning of "Explore" is to "inquire into" so the right Swahili cannot be Kuzuru which means touring..but Chunguza or pekua
@@genesisbera7761..Google can get it wrong too
Tom Mboya estate in upper middle class, but most of the bungalows are no longer residential - they are now occupied by NGOs.
...and hospices and cancer centres, group of schools eg.(mudasa) and high end hotels eg.(victoria inn)
Tom mboya is so big to just host NGOs kwani NGOs wote walihamia Kisumu or something 😂😂

You've forced your brain to believe Kenya has nothing to offer and that Tanzania is the best country in the world , now that vedios are delivering some reality check your brain gets confused and Ur only choice is to leave a hateful comment. Ugandans are literally admitting that Kisumu is more developed and civilised than Kampala but anchoring bias wants to see Burundi 🤣🤣 go touch some grass buddy

Explore in Swahili Is kuchunguza
and what is to investigate??
It’s not conservative but racist.
Racism?
Kampala needs to pick a leaf we need cyclist lanes and and wider roads
but as much as kisumu is very clean.. but know that eldoret is the 3rd most bustling city in kenya after nairobi and mombasa. eldoret streets has the moi avenue/tom mboya street vybe, where businesses close down as late as 11pm. whereas in kisumu, businesses in the scanty cbd closes down at 7:00pm
Stupid umbwa wewe, kuma ya mama Yako , that thin is not even a city
In Eldoret the entire CBD is along the narrow Uganda Road which makes it congested gives it an illusion of vibrance. Kisumu is more spread out with wider roads & more bypasses. The Malls & most Businesses are also in the suburbs not CBD, the CBD only houses Banks, Restaurants & university Campuses. Suburbs like Kondele are more vibrant than the CBD, Kondele is a 24 hour economy. If kisumu was planned along one narrow highway like Eldoret, Kisumu would be more congested than Nairobi. Statistically Kisumu has a bigger GDP than Eldoret despite not being as congested. It is a perfectly planned city
@@254reactI couldn't agree more, you said as it is
bro, then u've never been to eldoret lately. eldoret has deep crisscrossing streets and alleys, that are very busy and vibrant like the downtown of nairobi. uganda road only passes on the edges and without much happenings along it, apart from government offices and petrol stations, and some banks and hotels.
@@freddiekipkoech4752 what was the last time you were in Kisumu? Eldoret airport is closed by 4.30pm and so are most of the transportation except for Nairobi bound ones.Eldy is simply an agricultural town like Kitale while Kisumu is an industrial city
Nyalenda is another kibera on steroids it's 😂
