I hope you are fine Okil. There is a loud public out-cry that your hatred for the Luo Community has reached an alarming proportion. If you were Pharao of the Old Misri, all Luos beginning with Raila, Odhiambo, Obama, Kidero, would have been wipped out of earth!
For your information, the Luo community are a very independent community and widely spread across the World. From the words of Hon Deputy President William S. Ruto, he asked a question that showed that this is a very unique community. It is the community that has produced fearless guys like Miguna Miguna, Oyugi ja Nyakach, Tom & Paul Mbuya, Adongo Adongo, Oloo Aringo.
Others include: Barack Obama, Sr., Economist, Harvard University Graduate, father of current U.S. President Barack Obama (Kenyan)
I would like you to re-think of the "what ifs"
- what if you are actually a Luo?
- what if you are a neighbor to a Luo?
- what if your son/daughter get married to a Luo?
- what if your best friend is a Luo?
- what if the Pastor who baptized your Dad/Mum was
- what if your Banker is a Luo?
- what if your "savior" one day will be a Luo?
- what if your mentor has been a Luo all along?
- what if you end up having a Luo wife?
Think about it.
Hon. Oscar Odhiambo Lawrence
My Kind Regards
Sincerely
Hon. Oscar O'LAWRENCE

Okello wodma,
I urge you please to find the strength not to respond to this Okil NyaarMogo. He hates Raila nd Luos. Notice that his fights here are always against Luos !!!!!! Don't you think that is weird? Have you ever seen one single Kikuyu fighting a fellow Kikuyu on these blogs? Never. On Mon, May 6, 2013 at 2:52 AM, Nyamodi Ochieng Nyamogo <okil@nyamogoadvocates.com> wrote:
Okello,
It would be better to let's know your reaction to what Miguna
Miguna says about the Supreme Court debacle! That's what is in
discourse! All these other side shows you are trying to parachute in
have ALWAYS been inconsequential, and still are! Of course, you retain
your slavery birth right to always dutifully holler "Hosanna"!!!
