Kikuyu culture.
Democratic Republic Ideals & 'Nairo':
Those who do live in 'Nairo', Nairobi as a whole, or even Kenya in itself too, do truly know of the highly sedentary even, cultural existence/atmosphere in all, and that has come to be created in all again, and by the Kikuyu people too. That in all, when one does think Kikuyu culture in Kenya, one should in all ways even think Personal & Group Identities, and just how in all again, Kikuyu people have come to destructively shape or condition even, these two Identities in all, and in all ways even, helping circumvent Kenya away, and from operating very much as a Democratic Republic too that is.
To speak of Kenya and as a Democratic Republic too, is to in all ways even, tell one that, Kenya has always been a country of Settlers too, and not one of Natives either. What this does mean is that, speak of those said to truly belong in Kenya, is speak even of, and of what they do term Indigenous peoples too, and not Tribal peoples either {and as with the rest of Africa too, and minus Ethiopia and Somalia too that is}. In all again, Indigenous, does speak in all too even, of alienable cultures in all, co-existing harmoniously and with each other too, and as compared in all again, to the Tribal world in all that is (and as seen in the rest of Africa too, and outside Ethiopia, Kenya and Somalia that is), and which in all again, does speak even of rather rigid Political structures too, and as compared to the far more fluid world of Indigenous peoples in all {they being far more Cultural in nature too, and not truly Political either}.
In many a way, while Kenyan History is often poorly written and from the perspective of Natives and the Tribal too (and as with attempting to speak even, and of African migrants from the Congo Basin in all, settling in Kenya, and simply then living rather poor nomadic lives too) {and as with furtherly stating that, Black African languages in Kenya, are primarily of Nubian origins/extraction, and not Congo either actually}, Kenyan History in all again, can best be written, and from a Settler/Indigenes perspective too, and as with it even, referring to Swahili/Victorian cultures, Settler Communities (they even European, American or even merely Farmer and City dweller too), and finally in all again, Arab presences in all {and as with this even, speaking of Italian groups in Kenya too that is}.
In all again, the latter view, that of Settlers/Indigenes, and as with they even, said believed true/good speakers of English in general too, did in all too even, come to generally define Kenya and as a Democratic Republic too that is, and as with this even, speaking of the utmost liberty and freedom in all, and in creating Personal & Group Identities too, but something in all again, that has come under severe attack in all, and from in all ways even, the very rather recent too, and post-independence in nature actually, development, and in what some do call Kikuyu culture too that is {and as with it even truly in all again, a cultural phenomenon in all, and bringing together, not only White, Brown and Black skinned Kenyans in all again, but all this too, happening very much, and under the name of 'Family Gatherings' and Festive occasions too that is} {and as with the case even, of some of the members of the Leakey family, referred to in all again as, 'White Kikuyu' that is}.
In all again, while the speaking or understanding even, and of the Kikuyu language in all, is deemed necessary and for one to be a true Kikuyu too, being a secular Kikuyu on the otherhand, does speak in all ways even, and of attending many a 'Family Gathering' or Festive occasion too (and as with they even, occurring on the daily and the everyday too), and as with this in all again, speaking of coming to define a Personal & Group Identity too that is, that one could very well call Kikuyu, but with this in all ways truly even, coming to reach troubling heights in all, and as with saying that, if what they do call a Democratic Republic, can be said to generally speak of a Kenyan (National) Consciousness in all, then one does find that Kikuyu culture in all again, coming to not only somewhat define Kenyan (National) Consciousness in all, but in all ways truly even, the derailing in all again, of Democratic Republic Ideals in all, and as defined previously, in Pre-Colonial/Colonial Kenyan Victorian legislature too that is {that in all, Kenya and during the Colonial/Pre-Colonial eras too, did function rather well, and in a Victorian manner too, and before the so termed struggled for Independence, and by disenfranchised groups in all, poor speakers of English too, fighting for a place, and in a very much Victorian Colonial society too, and as seen then in Kenya too that is}.
In all ways even, in helping many in Kenya, understand the destructive impact of Kikuyu culture in all, and in its hampering in all again, the proper development and functioning even, and of not only Kenya as a whole, but 'Nairo' too that is, and all based around having those in Kenya too, very much create Personal & Group Identities in all, and that are in accordance somewhat, and with Kikuyu culture in itself too, but in all ways truly even, Kikuyu culture and as coming to replace Democratic Republic Ideals in all, and that do in all again and as with subjugation too perhaps, require one to be a good/true speaker of English, and as in finally adding that, Kikuyu culture and as coming to define Kenyan (National) Consciousness in all, does require everyone to somewhat speak even, the Kikuyu language in itself, and as with an opinion even, one of the more backward Languages and culturally too, to be seen all over the World that is {and as with saying truly that, what does make the Kikuyu people and culture, seem somewhat formidable in itself, is the organizational structure in all, and very much Pattern like too, that is very much associated with it, and as with saying that, its a Pattern oriented structure in all, and not Design oriented either, that very much appears to have overcome the limitations of the Kikuyu language in itself (it somewhat now intermixed even, and with Kiswahili and English too), and one too, this Pattern oriented structure, that in all ways even, has proven to be rather detrimental and to just about all other Kenyans too (and as based around Kikuyu culture bonding in all, and with Government in Kenya too), and in all ways even, coming to hamper not only the development of a Kenyan (National) Consciousness in all (a Kenya for all), but in all ways truly even, hampering in all again, Individual success and by limiting (and via social discrimination too that is), just how all other Kenyans, do create Personal & Group Identities that is} {and as with all this even, speaking of Kikuyus in all, as the main harbingers, and of Tribalism in Kenya too that is}.
In all, what will follow below, is in many a way even, a detailed expose in all, and of Kikuyu structural organization too, and as with saying that, once those in Kenya, do actually see it (and as with seeing or understanding even, how it does define our everyday experiences too), then in all, it will probably in all ways even, merely fall apart, and enabling Kenya too, to get back on its feet, and as based around very much operating, and in a secular manner too perhaps {and along the lines of Democratic Republic Ideals that is}.
In all ways even, what will follow below, is a detailing of the Kikuyu, and from a Settler/Indigenes perspective too, and which in all again, might very well surprise one in that, Kikuyu people in all, actually do come from afar and wide (and as including Asia or even America too), and in many ways even, this speaking of Kenya in all, and very much as a Settler country too (Farmers & City dwellers), and not as a Native/Tribal country either {and filled with rigid even, Political structures in all that is}.
1.
Kikuyu Customs and traditions: With this having come to be defined in all again, and by Brown skinned African Sectarian groups and as coming in from Asia {and as with African Sectarian too, referring to their possessing Religious practises in all, and similar in Design, and to those seen in African Religious practises too that is}, and as with furtherly adding that, many of these groups, were formerly even, of the Kamba tribe in Kenya, and in all ways even, what does make the Kamba and Kikuyu too, similar in all, and in Customs and traditions too that is.
2.
Kikuyu traditional lifestyles & music: With this in all again, speaking of Nilotic presences and within Kikuyu culture too (and such as the Samburu or Kalenjin for instance), and as with these groups too, heavily having come to define Kikuyu tradtional lifestyles in all and as based around Kikuyu tradtional music too, but surprisngly enough, one also seeing elements, or populations too, Black skinned, and as coming in from the Muslim/Islamic world, and as seen in the Middle East and Central Asia too actually {and as with reminding one that, these lifestyles, somewhat poverty stricken in nature even, are mainly found in the rural areas of Kenya, and are hampered in all again, and by their being truly based around Kikuyu traditional music too, and simple in its ways actually, and as with this music even, defining Personal & Group Identities in all, and in rural Kenya too that is}.
3.
Kikuyu government: It in all again, consisting of Towns in all too even, that many would primarily consider Kikuyu in culture, and totally so even and as with government in such towns in all (and such as Murang'a, Kiambu, or even Nyeri too perhaps), having come in all again, to be strongly defined even, and by Brown skinned groups too, and as coming in from the Bantu-Cameroon world actually {and as part of the so called Congo Basin too that is}.
4.
Kikuyu Folk culture: Kikuyu Folk culture in all, does speak in all ways truly even, of Kikuyu Folklore in all again, and as used in not only seeking out Personal success, but in all ways truly even, forming what one could call Kikuyu City/Town identities in all, and in all ways truly even, this segment of Kikuyu culture in all, actually originating in all again, and with African Sectarian Black skinned Asian groups, and who did in all ways even, migrate from Asia in itself, and in seeking out employment in Kenyan Farms too, and during the Pre-Colonial and Colonial eras of Kenyan History that is {and as with reminding one that, Black skinned peoples are to be found everywhere in Asia, and such as the Hindus or Tamils even, but with some on the otherhand, very much having African-like hair too that is (and due to being African Sectarian too actually)} {meaning in all again that, these groups (Blackskinned African Sectarian Asians) actually do look and speak like straight haired Black Asian groups in all, and as to be seen in Asia too that is}.
5.
Kikuyu religion: And with it in all again, actually somewhat Jewish in nature (and as with speak even of some of its practises), and as brought in by African Sectarian Black skinned groups, and as found today even, in both Israel and Jordan too {and in many ways even, what does make Kenya today, somewhat Israeli like in nature too that is}.
6.
Kikuyu language: Falsely believed of Congo/Niger-Kordofanian origins too, the Kikuyu language is actually in many a way even, a vernacular and a slang too actually, and with it in all, not only having words from the Nubian languages, Kiswahili and English too, but in all ways truly even, a gramatical structure, similar in all, and to language in all again, and as spoken in the Middle East too actually {and as with the Middle East even, having other Languages to it and other than Arabic too, and with the Kikuyu language in all and on the otherhand, somewhat Hebrew-like in nature/grammatical structure too, and as with its origins even, said believed to have originated and with African Sectarian workers in all, and as coming in too, and from the Middle East that is}.
7.
Kikuyu Elitism: Speaking in all again, and of Kikuyu groups and as seen in Nairobi and Nyeri too, and with this in all again, referring to Kikuyu Humour and Expressionisms in all, and as with it even, of Kikuyu Folk and Congo origins too, and which in all ways even, has come to give rise and to a world of Nefarious activity in all (and as with this even referring to bribery, corruption or even prostitution in itself too), and that in all ways even, all this coming to define Kikuyu Business in Kenya, or even coming to truly affect the Kenyan Government in itself, and due to the somewhat high number of Kikuyu employees in all, and to be seen in it too that is.
8.
'Nyeri': 'Nyeri' in all, does speak of a core Kikuyu culture, that highly does center around 'Family Gatherings' and even Festive occasions too that is {and as with they even, not only defining everyday Kikuyu life, but in all ways truly even, truly centered in 'Nyeri' too that is}. In all, what can be truly called Kikuyu culture, is not only the two defining segments of Kikuyu life mentioned above, 'Family Gatherings' and Festive occasions too, but that in all ways even, this does speak of Kikuyu peoples, coming collectively and as one, and as with regards truly even, to speak of Monetary difficulties in all that is {that the Kikuyu and as Modern/Western too, does in all ways even refer to their housing many a cultural/tribe Investment Fund in all, and as with the Kikuyu too, and as with speak even of Modern/Western Identities in all again, seeing themselves primarily, and as Investors too that is}. In all ways even, it is in this segment of Kikuyu life, and where one in all again does find White and Bi-racial groups in all, and as part of Kikuyu culture too, and as with they even, viewed in all again, and as Business partners of a kind, or even Managers in all, and of Kikuyu Investment Funds too that is.
9.
Kikuyu Nationalism: In all ways even, this referring to a Kikuyu Money economy in all, and as based around Kikuyu commercial and trade based activity too, and as with this somewhat merging even, and with the very world too of Kikuyu Real-Estate endeavours in all (and as with this furtherly even referring to Kikuyu Investment Funds in all), and in all ways too, all this merging with the very world of Kikuyu Politicians, Kikuyu Employees in Banking, and even truly again Kikuyu Educational endevours in all, and in Small Business, trade and commerce too, and in all ways even, a sphere of Kikuyu life too, and very much associated in all again, and with Kikuyu women too that is, and known to many a Kenya too, and as 'Ugenya' that is {and as with this even, speaking of Kikuyu Exclusionism in all, and of other peoples in Kenya too, and not only from general Kikuyu life that is, but also very much in all too even, speak of Kikuyu attempts in all, to control the Banking Industry in Kenya too that is}.
10.
Kikuyu Country: In all ways even, speaking of the proliferation and of Kikuyu peoples too, and in Kenyan Administrative and Bureaucratic Units in all, and within Government too that is and further speak too even, of Kenya in all, and in (National) Consciousness and general Identity too, very much starting in all again, to become Kikuyu in nature, and as with Kikuyus in all, attempting to define Law and Ethical practises in Kenya too, and facing stiff opposition in all again, and as mainly from the Luhyia and Luo tribes of Kenya too, and as with some of them even, Luhyia and Luo, deemed sellouts even, and in the Kenyan Media too, and by their becoming Kikuyu in all that is {and as with they even, destined to benefit in all, and from any gainings perhaps, and as arising even, and with Kikuyu Nefarious activity for instance}.
In all again, is to not only remind one that Kikuyu culture in all, is not only centered around its language (or vernacular and slang too), but in all ways truly even, having at its very heart, a culture highly based around ones Body mechanisms in all (trigger, repair, feedback, response etc.), and as with this too, what the Kikuyu language in all, is truly centered around: ones Body mechanisms that is {and as with Kikuyu people even, known to annoy many a person even, and rather easily too perhaps, and by triggering in all, envy or hate even, and as with this even, primarily speaking of what does constitute of Kikuyu Power & Dominance in all, and amongst those in Kenya, who can very well be said, to be African/Modern/Western in their ways too that is}.
In all, Kenya and Nairobi too (Nakumatt), and as a functionable place in all again, does speak of prominent Swahili Families in all, and as fully engaged in most of Kenya's Manufacturing, Agriculture and even Merchant Trade too, and as with saying truly that, it is these Swahili Families (and somewhat Victorian in their ways too and while within Kenya that is), that do in all run Kenya and from the Private Industry sector too, and with Public Institutions/Industry in all again, and now somewhat operatable and due to the efforts of President Kibaki, still somewhat underfire perhaps, and from Kikuyu elements, and who do in all again, love to engage in Nefarious activities that is.
In many a way, the biggest threat to Kenya, does lie with Kikuyu Nationalism in all (and the Kikuyu attempt in all too even, and to control Banking in Kenya too), and as with furtherly saying that "Ugenya" in all, can very well be perceived, and from the very perspective too, and of other such Nationalistic endeavours in all again, and as with speak too even, of the so termed "Uarabuni" for instance, and with it in all again, speaking of the Swahili world, and as attempting to spearhead Democratic Republican change in all, and within Kenya too, and as very much based around what they do call "Majimboism" actually, and as with this even, referring to making Kenya in all again, very much Victorian/Swahili in nature too and as with "Majimboism" too, not segregative in nature and as the Kenyan News Media might report, but actually in all again, viewing Kenya in all, and from a Settler/Indigenes perspective too, and not a Native/Tribal perspective either, and as the Kikuyu often do falsely tend to present themselves that is (and as with some Kikuyu too, and as with 'Nyeri' even, very much having their homes, and in America too for instance, and as Green Card immigrants that is)} {in many a way too, speak of "Majimboism" in Kenya, is to speak in all again, and of the likes of Kenneth Matiba too for instance}.
In finality, a final perspective and on "Ugenya" (Kikuyu Nationalism), "Uarabuni" too, and what in all again, some do call "Uzunguni". "Uzunguni" in all again, speaking of the attempt in all, to define Kenyan (National) Consciousness, Personal & Group Identities, and even Democratic Republic Ideals, and as based around Academic and Cultural Book/Media Publishing in all, and Indigenous to Kenya too, and as based truly on publishing only in Brit, Victorian and British English too actually {and as with saying that, the Blogger in all, 'Ali Baba', does in all ways even, view Ugenya in all, and Kikuyu culture too, and from the very world of Academic and Cultural Indigenous Book/Media publishing, and as with this referring even, to donations in all, and as coming in, and from the German Embassy/Consulate in Kenya, and also, the Goethe Institut too perhaps}.
