Book excerpt: Bio Sam Okello is a best-selling author. He lives in Nairobi, Kenya, with his best friend, Hellen, and their two rambunctious sons, Garrie and Prince Sam Okello Jr. Synopsis Luo Nation Rising is a response to a conversation I had with Uncle Paul Oyoyo under the cool shade of a mango tree in Yimbo Usenge. On that sizzling December afternoon, the miffed Oyoyo wanted to know why the book Luo Kitgi Gi Timbegi remained the most authoritative guide on Luo ways in spite of the passage of time-which had rendered most cultural practices irrelevant and unhelpful. But was Uncle Paul really right? Reading Luo Kitgi Gi Timbegi afresh, I was blindsided by the enormous burden Luos of the past had to endure to live in harmony with the Ruoth, Ogayi, Joyath, Jonawi, Jondagla and other crazy folks in the community . Indeed, the Luo were in a situation worse than the Israelites under the punishing Levitical Laws and Islamic women and the dominant Sharia. In this riveting, politically-incorrect volume, I go to war with cultural practices that continue to hinder the emergence of a unified Luo Nation and call on the community to go back to the path charted by Ker Paul Mboya, Ker Joel Omer, Pastor Isaac Okeyo and Jaduong Joshua Rume. The hour of Luo greatness has come!
