4. Professor Anyang’ Nyong’o (KaGumba): (Gumba/Rado descendant) Economist Academia, popular politician, Public Administrator; Senator Kisumu, Public Services Manager; Governor Kisumu county. Professor Anyang’ Nyong’o has led the life of his ancestor Nyikal and including the legendary Nyikal well-groomed beards that gave rise to the names of his foster children Anam and Onyango as Olunje. And like Nyikal he has an overbearing daughter Amondi which in ancient times was Amolo. Lupita like Amolo is yet to marry as Amolo married late.
5. Lupita Amondi Nyong’o (KaGumba) - Actress, Modelling; Hollywood Super model; First African Oscars winner for the movie 12 Years A Slave. In many ways Lupita is a reincarnation of Amolo daughter of Nyikal. Amolo like Lupita was petite and legged beauty who could climb trees like a Tom boy. Amolo's walking is described as tondruok (cat walking) because she was an only girl hence the nickname of all Seme ladies as Otondi. And to date all Seme male and female babies named Otondi are named so in memory of wise counsellor Amolo. Amolo married late and Lupita is yet to marry. Amolo dad Nyikal had a groomed beard that gave the grooming foster children their nicknames Olunji. Amolo and Lupita both have the same number of siblings. Most of all Amolo is the ancient version of Amondi. It is indeed surreal coincidence if not a reincarnation of Nyikal and Amolo.
