Every day he wakes up in the morning, he used to walk into the cave and stay the whole day. His wife would bring him food every day. The old man became passionately in love with this stone to the extent that people ask the wife his whereabouts and she could answer that he has gone to his first wife (Mikayi) hence the stone of the first wife (Kit Mikayi). More further explanation about this unique stone is that according to its feature and components, the structure represents the Luo cultural polygamous family which had the first wife’s house (Mikayi) built further in between, on the right hand side was the second wife’s house (Nyachira) while the third wife’s house (Reru) was built on the left hand side of the homestead. This rock also is seen to have a nuclear family whereby the father (Ngeso) being the middle stone followed by the bulky Mikayi (first wife), then Nyachira (second wife) followed by Reru (third wife) and further in front they have the child which is representing Simba (which is the house for the first born boy in the homestead).

The most fertile land was found in Kano plains and the Nandis living on the hilly areas could not find enough grass for their animals. Therefore the two tribes were engaged in wars every time. In this wars, mostly Luos were being killed and their herds taken away. One certain day, Lwanda Magere decided to join the fight and make sure that their cattle are grazed in their piece of land. He killed several Nandi people. Both sides were amazed at the power and strength of this gigantic Luo warrior. According to the story, no spears neither metal could enter his body because he was as strong as stone hence the name “Lwanda” in Luo dialect means Rock. These wars were numerous and every time the proud Lwanda Magere emmerged the winner. The Nandis decided to know the secret of his strength. This mission was given to “Rono” who became a friend to Lwanda Magere. They were seen together after each fight to review the episode. Rono would beg Magere to forgive the Nandis and to let them graze. But Magere continued with the killings. The Nandis hatched a plan; they decided to give Magera a Nandi lady to marry.
