This is how Iloshon lemaa were formed, the longest war in the history of ilmaasai(MAA).Ilaikop maasai's are sumburu, before education that made them interact just like samburu all maasai's subtribes wear different shukas from each other and differ in some words as away of identifying themselves from other maasai's , Before maasai war they defeated Arabs and Europeans who tried to pass across their land in rifty valley, the Europeans avoided maasailand and they wrote a documentary that you cannot defeat maasai in their own land. In 1800 some maasai's change from pastoralists to farmers because of raids among the maasai's, the war continues and five maasai subtribes were eliminated i.e iloogol ala maasai's, 1850 another war broke to succeed oloiboni mbatiany by his two sons Olonana and senteu that divided the maasai's, some moved to northern Kenya while others moved to Tanzania and some were assimilated to other tribes like Kikuyu's and Nandi. When Europeans came to Kenya because of war among maasai's, prolonged drought and diseases that kill their animals Olonana had to collaborate in order to be given medicine and help him defeat his brother oloiboni senteu. Irkisongo and ilarusa maasai's moved to Tanzania with Senteu. in the maasai treaty, lonana was supposed to move maasai's to reserve to create land for Europeans and samburu moved from laikipia towards northern Kenya, ilchamus moved towards Baringo, purko, ildamat, isiria, irmoitanik and iwausin nkishu moved to Narok. Those who lived in Nairobi and Ngong were kaputei, keekonyokie, matapato and loodokilani moved to kajiado. Later Dallalekut (irkangere) who were part of ilaikipiak subtribe were displaced and moved to settle in kajiado Central. Ilaikipiak remain in laikipia county as the only remnant there
