The Role of the King's Mother namasole Namasole (title for king's mother) was awarded high respect and honor throughout the kingdom (obwakabaka). Namasole was given a palace of her own to live in and various servants to serve her. In fact the head of her servants was also called a katikkiro. This should not be confused with the king's katikkiro who headed the kingdom's government. However Namasole had no formal role in the governance of the kingdom.  During Kimera's time to that of Ssuuna II, the Namasole was not allowed to even set eyes on her son who had acceeded to the throne. One of the Namasole's brothers, given the title Masimbi would go to visit the king on Namasole's behalf and return with new...

When Kintu died, his officials did not want to make this public , in fear that this might cause political instability all over buganda kingdom. This forced them to burry kabaka Kintu secretly at Nnono, and the officials claimed that the king (kabaka) had disappeared. After some time, the officials chose Ccwa, one of Kintu’s sons to become king in his father’s place. Ccwa had only one son called Kalemeera. Kalemeera was only a young boy by the time his father ascended the throne. As he became older, Kalemeera began to understand the significance of the story that his grandfather Kintu had disappeared. He became immersed in thoughts  that Ccwa his father might also disappear in the same way. Thus Kalemeera began following his father around everywhere he went, fearful of letting him out of his sight. Eventually, Ccwa became exasperated with his son’s behavior and he concocted a plan that would force Kalemeera to leave his father’s side. The plan that was concocted involved Walusimbi t...

On his way, it fell in the lake and it took the whole group so much trouble to find. Because of the significance it has among fishermen and the fact that finding it potrtends good luck and a big fish harvest, Kyaddondo turned it into his family`s totem.  Kyaddondo who was said to be a son of Kintu but many historians assert that Kyaddondo was not Kintu`s son but merely arrived with him in Buganda.  Kyaddondo as an area of Buganda comes from this particular personality. On arrival in Buganda with Kintu, Kyaddondo built in Busaaku Busujju. After a short while, he went to the present day Lubaga...

Long ago, in years of 400 to 1200, west of Lake Victoria basin was ruled by immortals or demigods called the Batembuzi. They established a great empire known as Bunnyoro Kitara Empire it covered three quarters of east Africa. However there was king of hell known as Nyamiyongo who became jealousy to the immortals. And he resolved to lure the emperor of Bunnyoro Kitara Empire into his power. By that time ISAZA was the emperor. Nyamiyongo sent ambassadors to Isaza. 'My lord', they said, 'our master seeks friendship with you and wishes to prove his love by becoming your blood brother.' and they handed Isaza a coffee bean which had been dipped into the blood of their master. The emperor knew perfectly well what he was expected to do. He must eat the coffee bean, smear another with his own blood and send it back to Nyamiyongo. So he answered the messengers, 'Rest tonight and tomorrow you shall take my blood to your master.' That night Isaza met with his Councill...

Nambi prepared to leave her home in heaven to go down to Buganda to live with kintu whom she loved. But before leaving her   father   called her. Remember, he said, that there are no crops and no animals to tame on earth. Take as many as you can and leave quickly and quiet   and do not let your brother   Walumbe “ angel of death”   see you he will want to go with you and if he goes with it will be worse for you. So Nambi collected cows, sheep, chickens and everything she wanted for survival on earth and left the heaven by a secret path silently as shadows. As they reached the gate of heaven, Nambi remembered she had forgotten millet to feed her chickens. So she left kintu and ran back to fetch it. But on the way she met her brother Walumbe “angel of death” who asked her where she was going. At first she refused to speak to him but at last she broke down the secret and told him everything. In the end Walumbe followed them on earth. Kintu and Nambi built a ...

ORIGIN OF NTE CLAN  Katongole was from bunyoro, he had tailless cow . His leaving was a result of persecution from the king of Bunyoro who married his sister and unfortunately gave birth to an albino (namagoye). The king’s fortune-tellers advised him to kill the child, its mother and Katongole so as to end the cursed linage. Rumors reached Katoongole in time and he organized all members of his family to leave immediately. He hid in a forest called Teero near Lake Nnalubaale (Lake Victoria) through Mawokota.
