Busoga clans and history

Omulangira Mulungi Peter Kabaale Director Abasoga Tuseetule encourages Youths of Busoga to love their clans We have clan system among the Basoga. A clan is a group of people united by actual or perceived relationship and ancestry, even if the lineage details are not clearly known, clans claim descent from a founding member or a common ancestry. In Busoga, clan must have a name, a totem ( Omuziro ), a motto ( omubala ), an ancestor ( Enkuni ), a common origin ( ensibuko ), and a clan head ( Omukungania ) Basoga and many other societies in Africa are organized in a clan system where every individual belongs to a clan. There are over 300 clans in Busoga that can be grouped into two major groupings according to their origins or movements.

1. Clans that came with the Royal family, these are characterized by the burial of their dead facing Bunyoro. It's assumed that after death the person returns to Bunyoro where they migrated from. 2. Clans that came via lake Nalubaale ( Victoria ) bury their dead facing lake Nalubaale. The Basoga are therefore customarily buried facing either Bunyoro or Lake Nalubaale, wherever the grave faces shows the origin of the clan, if non Musoga dies in a Musoga home, such as dependent and has to be buried in that home, all the customs of clan have to implemented and even when naming children after the dead that non Musoga person has to be named with one of the children.

BUSOGA WILL FOREVER FEEL PROUD

Special dads, those who value life and family are very elated for the decission their king Gabula Nadiope IV to officially get married. it has taken 67 years since a royal wedding in the kingdom took place. officially Mutesi Jovia is the queen mother of our beloved kingdom.

Our king saw it wise that if he sets an example to the new normal young adults then alot of misconceptions about marriage will be laid away. In fact we are going to realisethe importancese of being faithful and committed when in relationships. Thespecial dads team being spear headed by Timothy Waigolo is now in full gear toadvocate for

Finally Mbarara University Students Who stayed in hostels receive food

Mbarara University students who failed to make it back to their homes finally get relief aid from UNSA - Uganda National Students Association. a week back student advocates raised their voices via media specifically TV West and other social plaforms seeking for attention towards the welfare of stranded students. Special thanks to the current guild president of MUST Muhumuza Ryan and his team for securing aid to students. When interacting with one of the students who were on the front line of fighting for the stranded university students welfare Musinguzi Newton , he had this to say "many students are vulnerable people who are unemployed and get survival from their guardians, so they should not be left out because they equally deserve to share the cake the government is distributing to the rest of Ugandans".
