Why Luo women can be a pain in the neck

It goes without saying that the discourse on why Luo men deliberately shy away from marrying women from their community is a sensitive one. It has been a topic of discussion in vernacular radio stations and has generated much furore on social media and other forums.

Luo women were no doubt created when God was not only feeling generous, but also cheeky; that explains the huge ‘pasts’ and equally enticing ‘futures.’ Left a little longer in the heat to dry, save for a few, most of them are ebony and exquisite (like Lupita). A jaber walks in a room and an aura of sophistication engulfs her even if she cannot spell that word. They have an intimidating gaze and often do not settle for less. Did I mention that they are the most difficult to chips funga because the mere fact that you might not spell her name correctly will be a turn off for her.
