'Baba', 'Tinga', ...: Raila Odinga's honorary nicknames

Raila Odinga is much venerated by his followers. This veneration finds its expression in the many honorary nicknames given to him (to name but a few):

- "Baba" (Swahili for "father") - "Tinga" (Swahili for "tractor") - "Agwambo" (Dholuo for "mystery" or "the unpredictable")
