Meru Origins, Customs, Culture and Traditions available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Every community in the whole world both international and nationally with its people; has had a culture, customs and traditions that have for centuries survived to maintain those communities united against combats in their existence. Thus, if you wish to understand the community and its people; you must first understand and familiarize yourself with their customs, culture and traditions in order to appreciate them fully.It is in culture and traditions that people's morals, ethics, attitudes, approaches, behavior, comportment, generosity, humility or even hostility is displayed and gauged. Meru community is a group of the Bantus who crossed the Red Sea in a style of good comportment and inestimable hospitality that characterizes their existence in harmony and solid unification for existence.It is in the customs of the community that you will ever get to know and understand their origins as to whether they ever dealt with God fearing people in their past or not. If they originated near and from arrogant, haughty and conceited communities, who do not know, respect and fear God; their customs always survive to betray them. Their present tradition is fully with undying and enduring evil of stealing their neighbors' property and attacking their neighbors for no reasons at all. The reason for that behavior on their side is because they are less God-fearing people from their origins. This gives and forms another good reason for studying peoples' and communities' origins in time for early taming and future corrections by the National Government through an education system and syllabus affecting such people.Let it be clear and be understood that Kenyans in their entirety 42 tribes; did not originate from one point, place, residence, habitation or abode when they migrated into the Kenyan soil many centuries ago. Kenyans entered Kenya from different routes many centuries past; and their diversity is their signature and stamp to that mark of history. Some Kenyans are soft and others are arrogant, while others are wish thinkers and day-dreamers. We are all Kenyans in our Kenya.But remember that stealing, dreadful and outrageous neighborhoods are the worst enemies of any society. Stealing and misbehavior are two evils that destroy any community within the shortest possible time in people's life. Even in the Holy Bible humans are warned against the squabbling neighbors. See and read the story of Moses the sojourner - Deuteronomy 2:2-7 - where Moses was commanded not to attack or steal from Ishmael's descendants while retracing his route to Canaan.Our guaranteed and unshakable belief is that Meru community lived beyond the Red Sea and eventually one day they decided to cross the Sea. Their mode of crossing is disputable and quite distressing; while remembering that in those days, means of Sea travel was underdeveloped. But since the fact is that our forefathers lived beyond Red Sea and now today we live in Meru County, Kenya in Africa; we must believe that we crossed the Red Sea long ago; but how long ago, we are not very sure, though we can vaguely guess that it was around 9th, Century A.D.From that epoch Meru community has lived united as much as the donkeys' hoof which is solid, and which is in Meru language an African proverb (We are as united as the donkeys' hoof) that was coined by their ancestral lea

Meru People were created by God somewhere (in the Holy Bible in the Garden of Eden) and they lived there until the day they crossed the Red Sea into Egypt where they lived until the day they were forced out of Egypt by some enemy. The fact is that, Ameru people were the original inhabitants of Egypt and the builders of the Pyramids (Mbiira in Kimeru language). Due to their expertise, they were chased out of Egypt by the Libyan mercenaries and Mohammedans when they invaded Egypt to spread their Muslim religion around AD 750.When Ameru left Egypt, they left in a hurry and out of pressure and fear, because they never wanted to be traced by the enemy. That is why in Egypt, no one knows for sure who were the original inhabitants of Egypt even today. On their way, they encountered many, many hardships and many generations died on the way (in the wilderness) with all the knowledge they had acquired in Egypt. The had to start from the scratch to gain some knowledge once again.At last, they traveled through Sudan, Uganda, Congo, Rwanda, Tanzania, Mtito Andei in Kenya to Manda Island (Mboa) around AD 910. There they lived in peace until the day they were once again disturbed by a new enemy they called NGUUNTUNE (red clothes), the Portuguese, who started to hunt them for slaves to export to America.When the new enemy subdued the community and started to make harsh demands upon the people, they decided to escape from the Island and seek new homes elsewhere. That was around AD 1560's when they succeeded to escape out of the Island after which they found their way to Meru, their present home.Their journey from Mboa to Meru was another difficult journey that fatigued the community where many of their giants and men of valor perished in defense of their people against the wild animals that teamed the region. It is at that region where they encountered some enemies who teased them and gave them courage to fight on for existence.Finally, they reached Meru region where they settled and found peace to share in their different sub tribes and clans. Today, Meru community are social and hospitable people who can be relied upon by other communities. Their history is open and interesting to read. Read to know why, how and when they settled in their lovely Home Lands.
