ORIGIN OF ENSENENE CLAN
Nseenene clan God father was a herdsmen who lived around the slopes of Mugamba Hill in Busongola county in Tooro kingdom. Nseenene clan ancestry is Kiroboozi, the god father of the clan. Kiroboozi had many children, among them Buyonga, Kalibbala, and Nnandawula his daughter.
When Kiroboozi died, his children experienced inheritance horror. Buyonga, Kalibbala and Nnandawula dispersed from  Busongola with their cattle to Bwera in Buddu county. From Bwera, they wandered to Ggomba county and settled in kakoni village, at Kakubansiri. While in kakoni, Buyonga and Kalibbala had a misunderstanding and decided to part ways.
Kalibbala headed North and settled at Nsiisi in Busujju county. He is thought to have arrived at Nsiisi before  Kabaka Kintu established his royal court at Nnono. Kalibbala was one of the clan elders appointed by Kabaka Kintu at Nnono. Kalibbala was appointed as the leader of the Abataka.(leaders) upto date, Kalibbala heads bataka in royal court
.

Buyonga headed East into Kyadondo county and settled at Kisozi. At Kisozi, Buyonga got two children, a daughter named Wannyana. While on a tour of his territories, the King of Bunyoro Omukama Winyi, passed through Kisozi and was struck by the beauty of Wannyana. Omukama Winyi at once asked for Wannyana's hand in marriage. Winyi and Wannyana left for Kibulala in Bunyoro Kingdom. Wannyana bore a son, prince Kimera, who later became Kabaka (king) of Buganda, following the death of Prince Kalemeera.
According to Buganda oral history, Buyonga found a woman named Muwumuzza at Kisozi. Muwumuzza was one of Omukama Winyi's wives. She had been placed at Kisozi as a representative and overseer of that region of King Winyi's territory. Buyonga fell in love with Muwummuza and later she bore him a son. child was named  Mugalula. thereafter his offspring were named Mugalula. To this day, the clan seat of Mugalula remains Kisozi, in Ggomba county.
