There’s a war of words going on on social media.
This battle of wits pits Economist David Ndii and Lawyer Miguna Miguna.
It all started after David Ndii woke up one morning and started that Luos are cheap in reference to an appointment of a Kikuyu to the CEO of National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) other than the acting Luo Nicodemus Odongo.
Moi said Luos come cheap. I don’t recall whether he said they cost Sh500 or Sh5000, something like that. https://t.co/RkdReObcqG

The phrase ‘Luos come cheap’ elicited a wide ranging debate which the lowly plus the high and mighty pertook.
Enter one Miguna, a Canada – based Lawyer and Luo. Most tweeps had expected him to come to the rescue.
Because, a few days before, David Ndii had twice decimated a Kalenjin lawyer and Billionaire, Donald B. Kipkorir, the good-hearted and boastful, over whether to print money or not. Ndii in a classic tweep troll, christened Kipkorir Sonko Malong baptising him with a LLB in Wash Wash.
Kipkorir had beaten a hasty retreat and blocked Ndii on Twitter. He licked his wounds in occasional jabs at Ndii which did not excite.
However, when the no-holds-barred Miguna Miguna appeared on the horizon, someone should’ve warned the now cocky Ndii to back down and hide.
He did not and paid for it.
The man who had beaten his chest after knocking out Kipkorir was given a dose of two tweets from Miguna; Twitter immediately lit up.
Dr. David Auma Ndii: This was your declaration on March 4, 2018 – 5 days before the March 9, 2018 HandChieth. Didn't you know then that "Luos are cheap?" When did you return to Uthamakism? Were you a STRATEGIC PLANT in ODM? Auma: Stop ethnic baiting. Do business in Sugoi quietly. pic.twitter.com/ZtcoCzkE0U

David Auma Ndii is free to conduct business in Sugoi quietly. But the moment he raises his cowardly head in public purporting to lecture Kenyans on matters of good governance, we will consistently remind him of his staged arrest in Kwale and support for the March 9, 2018 betrayal https://t.co/zlFZmUIqOP

To announce that he had been beaten badly, the world renowned Economist resorted to the age old gay Kikuyu theory about foreskins.

Miguna’s responses
David Auma Ndii has finally exposed himself as a blabbering primitive Kikuyu chauvinist who refers to Luos as Kihiis. Even after Oxford, intellectual vermins like Auma Ndii believe that human brain cells are located inside his underwear. Happy Easter Sunday, Patriotic Kenyans! pic.twitter.com/7wVyWECR81

2) The Kikuyu Nation use the word "Kihii" as a chauvinistic pejorative targeted against uncircumcized men, often Luo men to justify historical hatred and discrimination against them. "Kihii" is not a Kikuyu name. Therefore, David Auma Ndii must be condemned as a chauvinist.

It only took a christening of him the name Auma to make him go mad.
He had called a whole lawyer of great standing Sonko Malong LLB Wash Wash but him being called Auma, a female Luo name made him insult Miguna as uncircumcised.
Most Kenyans shared that David Ndii had found his match.
The wind was knocked out of him, he resorted to name calling and repeatation, unlike when he was cocky against Kipkorir.
Miguna has decimated Ndii and put him in his proper place.
The debate continues.

Mwaura: Raila AMOLO Odinga is not called "Omolo." I never defected from any nation or group. David Auma Ndii is the only Kenyan to have announced his defection. He has not stated that he RENOUNCED his Luo name "Auma." Don't support a chauvinist unless you are also a chauvinist. https://t.co/YS6pp0jioa

False. Don't try to invent a reason for supporting chauvinism. There is nothing "inferior" in the name Auma. Not among Luos, Acholi, Nuer, Padhola, Alur or Langi. The problem with Kenyan chauvinists is that they try to justify their primordial retrogressive beliefs through myths. https://t.co/Y3YxrdsDcB

Correct. David Auma Ndii could not and has never sustained a RIGOROUS intellectual debate with me. He has always sought refuge in cheap, chauvinistic ploys. Let him explain where, when and how he EXAMINED me and determined that I am a kihii – and why that is important to Kenyans. https://t.co/a7JjwmJWaK
