Open Mic Friday / The Queen is Dead / King Charles takes over
Queen Elizabeth
Elizabeth II (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary 21 April 1926 – 8 September 2022) was Queen of the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth realms from 6 February 1952 until her death in 2022. She was queen regnant of 32 sovereign states during her lifetime and 15 at the time of her death.
Luanda Magere
Folklore of the Luo peoples of Kenya speaks of a mighty warrior known as Luanda Magere. He was born in the year 1720 to Abonyo Wuod Omolo and his mother Nyabera. His mother died during his birth and was therefore taken care of by his grandmother Rapondi. His father died in one of the numerous wars with their Nandi neighbours when Magere was barely a teenager. He belonged to the Sidho clan in Kano, on the shores of the Lake Victoria.
The Sidho clan occupies the present sugar belt at the foot of the Nandi escarpment. He was possessed of unearthly powers, and his flesh was made of stone. Arrows, spears, and clubs simply deflected from his body, making him invincible during the war. He was famously known for his capability to tear an entire army apart alone.
Legacy
A site in Sidho with a stone is still revered as the spot where Luanda Magere died and people come from far and wide to conduct rituals and prayers at the site. Luanda Magere is still celebrated among the Luo through song and dance.
