AFRICAN HISTORIA:

From the archives: Jomo Kenyatta, the first president of Kenya, pictured with Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia during a defining period of post-independence African leadership.

The two leaders were among the most influential African statesmen of their era, playing major roles in advancing Pan-Africanism, African diplomacy and liberation movements across the continent.

Haile Selassie also played a central role in the formation of the Organisation of African Unity in Addis Ababa in 1963, alongside leaders such as Kenyatta, at a time when many African countries were emerging from colonial rule.

Peter Magana Kenyatta is a figure of significant historical interest, serving as a unique link between Kenya’s founding history and Britain. Born on August 11, 1943, in West Sussex, UK, he is the son of Kenya’s first president, Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, and his second wife, Edna Grace Clarke, a British schoolteacher.
​Unlike his high-profile half-siblings, such as former President Uhuru Kenyatta, Peter Magana has led a quiet, private life. He spent the majority of his professional career in London, working as a dedicated broadcaster and producer for the BBC. His life remains largely shielded from the political spotlight.
​Despite his low profile, Peter has made rare, meaningful visits to Kenya for major milestones, including the 1963 Independence celebrations, his father’s funeral in 1978, and Uhuru Kenyatta’s inauguration in 2013. In recent years, there have been suggestions that he has moved to Kenya to enjoy a peaceful retirement. As the only child of Jomo Kenyatta’s marriage to Edna Clarke, Peter Magana represents a personal and cross-cultural dimension of the Kenyatta family legacy, remaining a respected, albeit private, member of the lineage.

AFRICAN HISTORIA

Have you ever wondered how our country got the name “Kenya,” and how our first president came to be named “Kenyatta”?

The name Kenya comes from Mount Kenya, the country’s tallest mountain.
Here’s how it happened...

The local Kikuyu people called the mountain “Kirinyaga”, meaning “place of brightness” or “mountain of whiteness” (because of its snow-capped peak).

The Embu people called it “Kirenyaa”, and the Kamba called it “Kiinyaa.”

When European explorers and missionaries arrived in the 1800s, they had difficulty pronouncing these names,they used to call it "Kenia"

They adapted the word into “Kenya”, which became the commonly used name for the mountain.

Later, when the country gained independence in 1963, it was named after Mount Kenya.

Our 1st president's name,"Kenyatta" did not come from Kenya,the name comes from the Maasai word “Kinyata”, referring to a decorative belt or beaded ornament he used to wear.

Early Europeans who interacted with him pronounced it as “Kenyatta,” and the name stuck.

AFRICAN HISTORIA.
KENYA.
ThERE WAS NO KENYA before the 1800s.
Kenya was created by European businessmen connected to the British Empire. It was a land for essentially extracting raw materials. Kenya, Uganda, and Jubaland were initially part of the Imperial British East Africa Company - IBEA..

Later, this territory was divided into Kenya and Uganda, with Jubaland returned to Somalia. The area now known as Kenya was originally inhabited by various tribal kingdoms and caliphates, that included:

1) The Abyssinian Empire - Ethiopia,
2) The Samale Caliphates - Somalia,
3) The Kush Kingdoms - Sudan,
4) The Buganda Kingdoms - Uganda,
5) The Maa Kingdom - Maasai in Ken and TZ,
6) The Waswahili Caliphates - Tanga, Zanzibar’s Zanj, Mombasa, and Amu/Lamu

After the Europeans invasion and conquest, these kingdoms and caliphates were divided by new borders drawn by the colonizers. Within the new territory called Kenya, several tribes were separated from their kin across neighboring lands:

1) The MAA people now occupy the Rift Valley region of Narok, Kajiado, Laikipia and Samburu. Originally, the Maasai inhabited Nakuru, Uasin Gishu, Baringo Nairobi, Nyeri and Nyandarua.

2) The KALENJIN groups of the Nandi, Kipsigis, Marakwet, Pokot, Ichamus, Tugen etc have relatives in Uganda e.g., Iteso, Karamajong and now live in Kenya’s Rift Valley middle- region.

3) The LUO, LUHYAS, Suba, Kisii, Kuria peoples occupy Nyanza and Western Kenya, separated from their relatives in Uganda and parts of Tanzania. Eg Acholi and Wagisu.

4) The WASWAHIILI, Mijikenda, and other local Swahili-Arab groups live along the Coast, while related communities remain in Tanganyika, Zanzibar, Comoros, Pemba, and Ugunja.

5) The SOMALI clans such as Ogaden, Garre, Murulle, and Degodia now inhabit Kenya’s Northeastern region, with other clans remaining in Somalia, Djibouti and Ethiopia.

6) The OROMO groups like the Borana, Rendille, Orma, Sakuye, Malakote etc occupy Kenya’s Upper Eastern region, including parts of Tana River County upto Garissa.

7) The TURKANA peoples who inhabit llarger parts of Kenya and smaller regions of Ethiopia and South Sudan. They too left their people behind. They now live in the Upper Riftvalley.

8) The GEMA people. The ONLY area and people who were not influenced by these six kingdoms or caliphates were the Agikuyu, Aembu, Ameru, and Akamba peoples who now occupy Central and lower Eastern parts of Kenya, popularly abbreviated as G.E.M.A.

If these four Bantu-speaking groups had formed a country, it might have been called the GEMALAND Republic. With a common agenda or systems. They had no Kings just council of elders, seers, riika system and their God.

In the early 1800s, Europeans arrived and disrupted this order, imposing a new system—an event foretold by seers among the Agikuyu, like Mūndu Mūgo, and the Akamba seers like Syo-Kimau.

Where does the name KENYA come from?

The Akamba people accidentally gave Kenya its name. The word "Kinyaa-kí" means "white ostrich tail," similar to the Kikuyu word "Kiri-nyaga." Europeans mispronounced it as "Keenya," which became "Kenya" during their exploration of the mountain north of the highlands.

It should be noted that, Europeans passed through Ukambani land before reaching Kikuyuland, so they called the mountain "Mt. Kiinya" before encountering the Kikuyu. This historical detail should be acknowledged and corrected.

My Kikuyu people often claim that they invented the name, but that's not true. Kirinyaga is quite different from the names Kenya or Kiinya. No matter how many times foreigners like Europeans or Indians mispronounce it, it doesn't change that.

As the saying goes, the rest is history. This is a harsh and painful history that divided nations and destroyed black kings, systems, cultures, and African spirituality. It forced a people who had no business being together, become "one" then they went ahead and called themselves Kenyans. Just a State devoid of Nationhood.

Now, they are confused, singing WANTAM AND TUTAM while noisily going to Cannan through Singapore. Wemekuwa watu #$¥€NZ!$@

In 1879, Ugandan healers were performing cesarean sections with a survival rate that stunned European doctors—while much of the "civilized" world still saw the procedure as a death sentence.

British explorer Robert Felkin documented the operation in detail. The surgeon used banana wine as an antiseptic, herbal anesthetics to manage pain, and cauterization with a hot iron to control bleeding. The mother survived. The baby survived. The technique worked.

This wasn't primitive luck. It was sophisticated medical knowledge passed down through generations—refined, systematic, life-saving.

Yet the dominant narrative tells us modern medicine arrived in Africa with colonizers and that before European intervention, the continent had no science, no innovation, no expertise.

But here's the contradiction: if African medical practices were so "backward," why were European observers documenting them with awe? Why were these techniques—rooted in empirical observation and botanical knowledge—producing outcomes that Europe itself struggled to achieve until the late 19th century?

The Buganda Kingdom had what the British Empire didn't: working cesarean sections that saved lives.

So what else were we doing that got erased, ignored, or rebranded as "discovered" by someone else?

The Ngoni Kingdom ♥️

The Ngoni Kingdom was a monarchy in Southern Africa that began in 1815. It was established when some Nguni people from South Africa 🇿🇦 fled to Malawi🇲🇼 and broke away from the Zulu Kingdom. The Ngoni Kingdom was also known as the Ngoni Empire or the Kingdom of Ngoni.

The Ngoni Kingdom was formed after some Nguni people broke away from the Zulu Kingdom and escaped to Malawi.

The Ngoni people were primarily agriculturalists, but they raided north for cattle.

The Ngoni integrated conquered subjects into their society, forming seven Ngoni kingdoms in Tanzania🇹🇿, Zambia🇿🇲, and Malawi🇲🇼.

The Ngoni people remain a proud and resilient ethnic group, contributing significantly to the history and culture of Southern Africa.

AFRICAN HISTORIA KENYA.

HISTORY OF DEDAN KIMATHI/ MAUMAU

In the early morning of 18 February 1957 Field Marshall Dedan Kimathi was executed by hanging at the Kamiti Maximum Security Prison gallows until pronounced dead.

Before his ex*****on, his wife, Mukami secretly drove to Kamiti prison. He told her that "I have no doubt in my mind that the British are determined to execute me. I have committed no crime.

My only crime is that I am a Kenyan revolutionary who led a liberation army... Now If I must leave you and my family I have nothing to regret about.

"My blood will water the tree of Independence."

We must not forget the great sacrifice by those who gave their all for us to be free .

If you are in Search for those who died for you, then look no further than our Ancestors. The fake Jesus did not die for you.
