| Summary: | This is an originally observed rites of passages in a traditional African context. Through empirical observation and cultural anthropological esoteric engagement, traditions that have been traditionally preserved and kept in the oral or memory have been preserved in the written for the first time.

Additional traditions of rites for Meru boys, education, and integration lead to the conclusion. |
