Endigga clan descended from a man called Mbaale who came to Buganda with Kintu. Mbaale joined Kintu in the Masaaba hills and became one of the good fighters in Kintu. After Kintu had settled at Magonga he allotted his brave men some estates to settle and Mbaale was given the place which bears his name to the present day. Mbaale moved around with a sheep which he regarded as a personal companion. so he generally became to be known as 'a man of sheep. Before he died, it is said he made a pledge to his companion, the sheep, "no one from my loins or from the loins of my descendants should slaughter you for meat or give you up as a sacrifice any where in this area.


Mbaale is said to have had three sons; Ssekkoba, Kaggwe and Bbosa was the youngest. It is said that Ssekkoba wandered back to the east passing through Ssese islands and then returned to Buganda and settled in Kyaggwe islands of Kkoome where he finally died at Busanga. Kaggwe the other son was born in a broad day light, a taboo during those days hence his name 'Kaggwe-ensonyi ng'omukazi azaala emisana. This son together with his mother were sent away to Nakabiso across Kkoba forest and that was how that area also became a portion of the clan domain. When Kaggwe grew up he assumed the rank of eldership (ow'Esiga) in the area. Bbosa the youngest stayed and settled at Bunnamweri.


It is not clear whether Kalyesubula was Bbosa's son or Ssekkoba's. Whatever the truth was there is a common ground that Kalyesubula is closely tied up with Kibuka's story. Bbosa's other sons included Buvi, Kibi, Kabwa and several others. At least some versions collaborate that Kalyesubula lived in Ssese in Wannema' court either sent there by Bbosa to serve the god Wannema as he must have been the first son, or left there by Ssekkoba for the same purpose. It must be remembered the birth of children to many families was a result of continuous prayers to and the benevolence of the gods (so it was thought) so it was a common practice to dedicate some children to the service of the gods, apparently Kalyesubula might have been an award to Wannema. However, Kalyesubula left the islands and returned to his fatherland as Wannema's envoy on the mainland

ORIGIN OF NKIMA / MONKEY CLAN The origin of the Monkey Clan depends on the determination of where Kintu, as the first King of Buganda, came from . The origin of Kintu is heaven which renders the origin of the Monkey Clan to have been Buggala in Ssese Island. Monkey Clan was one of those people who had arrived in the country with Kintu. Balasi built a home in Malangala village in the county of Busujju. It is there that he got his son Bwoya.  Later Bwoya was appointed a Ssaabawaali chief, which is the chief in charge of the bachelor servants of the king.
