Tekidi was one of the earliest Luo states, established under Owiny I in the Agoro mountain area after Luo-speaking communities absorbed Bahima pastoralists who remained in the region. Owiny I ruled approximately from 1409 to 1436. Luo traditions describe his marriage to Nyatworo, a Muhima woman, and identify their son Rukidi as the later founder of the Babito dynasty in Kitara.

Le récit
Tekidi is described as one of the earliest Luo states, formed in the Agoro mountain area by Luo-speaking communities that had remained there after wider migrations and ethnic fusions. The population included people whose histories connected Luo speakers with the Muru and with Bahima pastoralists. These interactions made ethnic identity difficult to define in strictly separate categories.
The Luo-speaking population initially consisted primarily of hunters and agriculturalists. After the Jo-Oma or Bahima arrived around 1320–1360, the Luo appear to have learned cattle-keeping from these pastoralists. A cattle disease later forced many Bahima to migrate across the Nile into the Bachwezi empire, while those who stayed were absorbed by the Luo-speaking communities.
Owiny I ruled Tekidi approximately from 1409 to 1436. According to Luo traditions, he married Nyatworo, a Muhima woman, and their son was Rukidi. Rukidi later separated from his father, migrated toward Pakwac, and was invited into Kitara, where he and his followers became associated with the Babito dynasty.
