Long ago a man named Magaya lived in Bunyoro. He had three sons:  - Lukonda, Kisamo and Bauba. Each of these sons had his own mother. When these sons grew up they learnt much about Busoga, where certain Banyoro princes lived. They heard that Busoga was almost uninhabited and they longed to go there and secure land for themselves. Bunyoro was already densely populated; the three sons could not find a place to settle and eventually decided to go to Busoga. They landed at a place called Kyama-tende, in Bugabula, where they stayed for some time. Later they travelled further inland and reached mutala Namazala. By this time Kitimbo of Bugabula had just arrived in Busoga. Kitimbo was one of the Banyoro princes, sons of Mukama, who were living in Busoga.

The three son were given land by the princes whom they found living there. Lukonda was given Bukyemayema, Kisamo was given an area called Namazala. Nyiro gave Bauba an area called Bugonya. Bauba built his mbuga on a hill called Kasozi. He died in this place and was buried there.

The history of members of Bauba’s lineage is exactly the same as that of members of the Lugave clan given in Chapter 37.
