CHAPTER 30
NALWEBE OF THE NGO CLAN (Busamo, Butembe, Bunya)
According to the statements made about Nalwebe of Ngo clan, there was an old man long ago who travelled to Mount Elgon and hence to Busoga. He settled at Mpundwe and had many children, four of whom were sons named Kiwalo, Wampala, Wamango and Kivule. The old man was Kintu and he gave land to his four sons in the following order: - Kiwalo was given land known as Bukibwa, Wampala was given a hill known as Mpandwe, Wamange was given a hill known as Busomo, Kivule was given land known as Bukali. When his four sons were settled in their areas, Kintu resumed his journey westwards but later returned to Igombe and lived at Buswikira.
Among the four brothers Wamango was senior and was much feared by his brothers because of his ferocious nature. If anybody dared to thwart him in any way he would kill him without any trouble.
Wamango built his mbuga in a place called Nabwango. He married and had the following sons: - Nanjubu, Kidanga, Weyule and many others. Despite his ferociousness, Wamango had trouble with his brothers who later rebelled against him. He fought them and drove them from their land. The angry brothers made a secret plan and murdered him at night while he was sleeping. The murderers dug underneath Wamango’s house and then crept into Wamango’s bedroom.
Kidanga succeeded his uncles. Kidanga had seven sons as follows; Kasaja-Wulu, Kasari, Walugyo, Bazibala, Bumpi, Waziga and Nanjubu. When he died, his son Nanjubu succeeded him. Nanjubu had a scheme to punish the evil doer’s sons but when they learned of it they went to him begging for mercy. These sons did not like to see a split in their clan, which was the reason why they begged for mercy.
After much negotiation, Nanjubu accepted their pleas to live at peace with his relations.
This brought an end to the hostility which had hitherto existed within the clan. After his death, Nanjubu was succeeded by his son, Kiyaya.
