I have seen so many clans coming through our profiles and I'm sure I've not seen nothing yet, but what is catching my eye of late is this clan called " MONGEN " Do you know anything about this Clan? Please tell me more about this clan if you are from this clan and don't mind sharing with me a little bit about it. If you are not from the MONGEN clan ; have you ever hard of it? what can you tell me about it.
I'm really not kidding about this just go to the search page and search for Mongen under the clan section and see how many members are from the MONGEN Clan.

I had thought that may be they meant " I don't Know".
I would like to know if a clan like that exists.

MONGEN clan? Simple,it is a clan commonly shared among the ladies and those from urban areas,or so i think.They are either ignorant, sincere or they think associating with the issues of clans will make one look like he/she comes from the shagz or is so traditional.
Plz dont reply to this message,am out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

| From my point of view most people are not familiar with their clans especially nandis are not that much familiar as kipsigis would be....some people are people are giving the names of their villages. Maybe our administrator should expound further on this issue. Some people are giving the name of their animal instead of clan. It's fun though! I don't it's ignorance. Peace all

| Arap Tonui,thnx 4 being sincere that u dont knw yo clan. Clans are as old as our roots. Knowing n belonging to one's clan help 1 to know who he/she relates to n thus cant marry others frm tht same clan. Secondly, its believed tht a serious mistake (e.g. murdering) done by a member of one clan can affect the whole clan n so to be cleansed, the whole clan must meet n sacrifice smthng for cleansing. Thirdly, ooh can someone please help me here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
