The saga of naming the 7 Saba Bora boys, by Tariq Said Sarico

---

SCARNOSE aka CHONGO
"Yesterday I brought up this topic of naming The Saba Bora Boys and I started with the photos of BK as the majority we call him that as I also found out today, the name BK was named by Hassan who is a guide at Lemala not Dullah as I mentioned yesterday!
Any way! Many people came to my DM advising that we shouldn’t call him BJ Killer as it doesn’t sound that good for our late BJ and also for those who loved BJ it keeps reminding of him and I definitely agree with that.
So many have agreed to change his name from BK to Scarnose as he has a scar in his nose or sometimes we might be calling him Chongo, chongo means who doesn’t see one eye it’s a swahili name!
So from today onwards, I will never write or mention BK anywhere, I will say Chongo or Scarnose!

KIDUKU
"Now today we’re naming a friend of Scarnose, they hang out together most of the time, I like to call him KIDUKU and today I officially announce that name to you as KIDUKU, Kiduku is a certain hair cut whereby you shave all the hair and leave in the middle like a spear, just like the way Kiduku look like in this photo!
Look at his head, he has long hair like that style we call Kiduku, I have been following him for a while and see whether he will grow up hairs in all of his head but until in his age of approximately 3 and half years old nothing has changed and I think he will never grow up hairs like Scarnose.

Kiduku was also one among the 3 boys killed BJ in that fight and I clearly saw him with those few long hairs in his head and today they’ve grown up like that.
Kiduku always looks for Scarnose moves, he likes teamwork he always hang out with his brothers. The rest sometimes you can find them alone but Kiduku he loves his brothers.

ULIMI MBILI
"I am here presenting to you one of the lion with scariest face of all the boys! ULIMI MBILI, actually this name has been suggested with one of the best female guide @rufinatheguide_photography she said we called him “Ulimi” and I added “mbili”
ULIMI MBILI, actually Ulimi mbili means “Two Tongues” in Kiswahili language and we called him that because he has split tongue or you can call forked tongue, just look at his tongue at the tip of it is splitted up like a fork and looks like he has two tongues.

"And also ULIMI MBILI, most of the time he’s alone, he likes to stay a little a side from the rest of the boys, 2 days ago I found him on a honeymoon with one of the females."
