Every Muganda person must belong to one of more than 52 clans of Baganda.

Every Muganda person must belong to one of more than 52 clans of Baganda. A Muganda is therefore expected to know his or her paternal clan (and Totem) as well has his or her maternal clan. As part of one's formal introduction or greeting (especially at traditional ceremonies), one must be able to say their last name (surname), their father's surname, their paternal grandfather's name, their mother's clan, their clan Totem and clan motto or slogan (Omubala) and finally their lineage in terms of the Akasolya, Ssiga, Mutuba, Lunyiriri and Nnyumba or Nju (House). This is generally called okutambula ng'Omuganda ("narrating your lineage Luganda)

The clans are social units and in the past were political units as well.

The Baganda has over 50 organized clans (Ebika)that serves as a foundation of social, cultural and political organization with members tracing their ancestry to a common ancestor. The Kabaka also known as (Ssaabataka) is the chief of the patriarch also called (Abataka). Each clan has a hierarchical structure. The helm of this clan [hierarchy] is called Akasolya. So the [Baganda] are organized roughly over 50 helms (Obusolya). Akasolya is the singular form of Obusolya. Each Clan has a designated leader known as Ow'akasolya. Each helm (or Kasolya) has several units called Amasiga (or pillars in English), headed by Ow'essiga. Essiga is singular form of Amasiga. Under each Ssiga are several units called Ennyiriri, headed by Ow'olunyiriri. Olunyiriri is the singular form of Ennyiriri. Below the lunyiriri are several units called Emituba, headed by Ow'omutuba. Omutuba is singular form of Emituba. Under each Mutuba are several units called Enzigya, headed by Ow'oluggya. Oluggya is singular form of Enzigya. The Luggya is the level of the paternal grandfather (of the family). Below the luggya are several units called Ennyumba (Houses) or Enju, headed by Ow'ennyumba (Ennyumba is singular form of Ennyumba). The House is essentially the nuclear family and is headed by a father. In case he is late, then it's headed by his heir (always a biological male). For instance, the members of Mr. Nsubuga's nuclear family would be called Ab'enju ya Mwami Nsubuga if he is alive or Ab'enju y'Omugenzi Nsubuga if he's deceased. Omugenzi is the Luganda word for "The Late or deceased".

Political Unit

*Represented at Kabaka's court (King's court). Location of the clan's seat (Obutaka) and/or land. Responsibilities of the clan at the Kabaka's palace (Lubiri).

Social Unit

*Represented in Lukiiko (cultural unit). Clan head (Omutaka)

Totems

Each clan is identified by a specific animal or plant totem, symbolizing ancestry and revered by clan members. This is categorized into two:

1. (Omuziro) also known as the primary totem representing a specific clan .

2. Secondary Totem (Akabbiro).The Akabbiro serves as a secondary identifier, and both are taboo for clan members to eat or harm. These totems help define lineage and prevent intermarriages. The Akabbiro is a secondary taboo, similar to the main totem (Omuziro), and reinforces the identity of a particular clan.

Names

Every Muganda must belong to a clan (Ekika).

This is usually his or her father's clan. The only exception to this is the Kabaka (King) who belongs to the mother's clan. This ensures that every clan has a chance to produce the next Kabaka(King). Names of Baganda vary depending on one's biological gender (male or female).

Therefore, each clan will have a list of at least 20 boys' surnames and 20 girls' surnames from which one can pick a surname.Therefore, one's surname (last name) will give a clue to which clan they belong as well as their biological gender. The exceptions to this are a woman's married name (which she inherits from her husband) as well as unique names given to twins and their immediate siblings or Royals (first born sons and first born daughters).

For instance, the name Nsubuga is given to a male from the Mmamba Gabunga clan and the name Nansubuga is given to a female from the Mmamba Gabunga clan.

Also a "naturalized" Muganda person must pick a clan to belong to and therefore a surname or last name belonging to that clan.

Marriage

All members of a clan are believed to have a common ancestor. This means that they are siblings if they are from the same generation (roughly same age) or can be considered parents or children if they are from different generations, and so it's taboo for them to marry each other. They are therefore expected to marry someone from another clan, clan Exogamy, (or tribe or nationality as long as they are not a Muganda of the same clan). This has even been held up in a court of law (i.e. there's a precedent in law) in the famous case of Bruno L. Kiwawu vs Ivan Serunkuma and Juliet Namazzi in May 2007. All three people involved, the girl's father, Kiwawu, the "boy", Sserunkuuma and the "girl", Namazzi belong to the same clan, the Ndiga (Sheep) clan. A few exceptions exist especially among the members of the large Mmamba clan. On occasion, these have been known to intermarry. This taboo on marrying someone who belongs to the same clan as you normally supersedes religious, national and international marriage laws.

EBYAFAAYO BY'EKIKA KY'EMPINDI MU BUGANDA

Origin (Obutaka)

According to legend, Mbogga, the founder of the clan, came with Ssekabaka (King) Kintu to establish the kingdom of Buganda along the north western shores of Lake Nalubaale (Victoria) during the 15th century. Traditionally, Mbogga's job in the palace was to look after the king's cow, "Mbulidde", a role that is now performed by the clan in the kingdom.

The Mpindi Clan currently is divided into two units; one belongs to Mbogga with its headquarters on Nsumba Hill in Mawokota (current Mpigi District) and the other belongs to Mugalu in Kyaggwe (current Mukono District)

Mpindi is one of the 56 clans of the Buganda Kingdom, a historic cultural institution in Uganda. one of the largest ethnic tribes of Uganda. The Mpindi clan head (omutaka) is called Mazige and the clan seat (obutaka) is at Muyenje, Busiro County in Uganda.[ The Mpindi clan has the mpindi, a Luganda word for cowpea (Vigna unguiculalta) or Kiyindiru in Luganda, as its totem.Members of the clan often refrain from eating or disrespecting their totem as part of traditional taboo practice.Clan identity is inherited patrilineally and plays an important role in cultural and social organization within Buganda society

Mpologoma clan is among the clans in present-day Buganda Kingdomt hat are believed to have come with kabaka Kintu. Mpologoma is a word in Luganda which means lion. Every Muganda belongs to a clan, which automatically has to be his fathers's clan, and each clan has a totem a totem and minor totems which they are not allowed to eat and these totems are guarded jealously. The King of Buganda is also known as "Empologoma ya Buganda" which means the "Lion of Buganda

Origin of the mpologoma clan

On Lwadda^[ hill at Matugga Kyadondo county in Wakiso district, is where Kabaka Kintu built his main palace and he set up the palace after discovering that this hill was so nice when he was hunting coming from his Kanyaya palace . The clan started when Kabaka Kintuwas in his Lwadda palace and lions roared from Kasalirwe hill, near Lwadda hill in Matugga , in Buganda's Kyadondo countyin present day Wakiso district in Uganda. People were living in fear because of these fierce wild animals and Kabaka Kintu himself was not happy with it .When kabaka thought of how he can address this problem, he sent for his son Ssebuganda who was an expert in identifying the foot prints of wild animals to go and trace them so that they can be hunted and killed. It is said that while going to Lwadda to meet his father, Kabaka kintu, he passed by his father's palace of Kanyanya to pick his expectant mother then, Nambi Nantuttululuand they went together to Lwadda palace. It is said that Kabaka Kintu went with him to hunt the lion. When they reached Nasse village on kasalirwe hill where the hunting took place, they started chasing the these animals, the first to run towards them lifting its mane and wanting to attack them was the male lion and Ssebuganda hit it with his stick rod and it died immediately. After killing the male, the lioness also ran to attack them and Ssebuganda using the same stick killed it also.

Kabaka Kintu left his son slaughtering the lions in the bush and went back to his palace. On reaching the palace , he found when his wife had given birth to twins.

Kabaka kintu sent his brother in-law called Kawuuzuumo whom he had also made a royal guard (Omumbowa) in the palace to go to the bush where the lions were being slaughtered and tell his son Ssebuganda that his mother had produced twins ,and he should bring for him some meat from the lions he had killed and slaughtered and also the stick he used to kill the lions too. After slaughtering the lions ,Ssebuganda as requested by his father took the meat and also the stick he used to kill the lions. He found Kabaka Kintu in a meeting and gave him the stick that he used to hit the lions and on seeing the stick, Kabaka Kintu held it in his hand, looked at it and put it down. He picked again, held it in his hand and put it back .He did so several times and lastly said Wamma guno ssi muggo buggo luwaga meaning this is not just a mere stick but luwaga.

The lions' meat he brought for his father was cooked and some roasted for the people who were in the meeting to eat. Ssebuganda took some meat also to his home and some of the meat was prepared for dinner that night and some roasted .When dinner was ready ready, they sat down and blessed " Jajja Ddungu^[ " the god of game of hunting in Buganda and they ate. After eating the lion's meat, all people in kabaka Kintu's palace and at Ssebuganda's home who ate on the lion's meat that developed complications, which included running stomachs, stomachache and vomited a lot also.

The following day, Kabaka Kintu sent his royal guard(Omumbowa ) Kawuuzumo to go and inform his son Ssebuganda about the stomach complications, and problems they had experienced after eating the lions' meat and also to inform him that the stick he used to kill the lions together with the chair he found him sitting on in a meeting when he brought the stick had turned into stones .In the same way, Ssebuganda early that morning sent a messenger to tell his father Kabaka Kintu about what had happened to him and his people in the night after eating on the lions meat but these two messengers used different routes. When Kawuuzuumo the guard (Omumbowa), reached Ssebuganda's home and learnt that even Ssebuganda's family had experienced the same problems after eating on the lions meat as those people in Kabaka Kintu's palace, he (Kawuzuumo ) didn't ask any one but just collected all the meat that had remained at the Ssebuganda's home and all the meat he found at the fire place on sticks being roasted and went with it back to the palace. He also collected even all the meat that had remained in the palace without leaving any piece behind, took it all together and dumped it Nakiduduma spring well.

On seeing what had happened to him and his people who ate on the lions' meat and when he also heard what happened to people at his son's home who ate on the lions meat, he declared himself, his children and all his grandchildren never again to eat on the meat from lions hence the emerging of the Mpologoma Clan. It was also believed that if they eat the lion's meat again , they would develop worse complications compared to what they experienced.

People from mpologoma clan are sometimes called royals (ie princes and princesses) because their clan came from the eldest son of Kabaka Kintu and a Kabaka produces princes and princesses

Once upon a time, Prince Kayemba was ordered by his big brother, King Jjuuko to go and conquer the territory of Buvuma. King Jjuuko ruled Buganda between 1654-1664. When Prince Kayemba left to annex Buvuma territory, he went with mostly Kibe Clans men. After he had conquered Buvuma, some of his men, who were of the Kibe Clan settled on the islands of Buvuma. When Prince Kayemba left Buvuma to return to Buganda, many of the Kibe Clan came back with him. They arrived at Kigaya landingsite. It is from there they acquired land on the hills surrounding Kigaya and on the village of Makindu.

It is during the reign of King Ssemakookiro(1779-1794), when those of the Kibe clan bacame very prominent. After they had been given the duties of 'Chief Brewers' to the King. (Obasenero bw'omwenge gwa Kabaka). They got this title from the "Nvuma" Clan.

When Ssemakookiro bacame King of Buganda, after defeating his big brother Jjunju, he removed the duties of Chief Brewers from the 'Nvuma' Clan and gave those duties to his man Sseruti. The one who had discovered the way to straw (Oluseke-Oluti). And when the King asked Sseruti from where he would perfom his duties, he answered that he would like to be stationed in Buyikwe-Kyaggwe. The King also asked him where he was born and he answered "Wambogwe". It is said that when Kyasanku settled on his new village-Buyikwe, he used to beat his drum saying these words:

"Kyasanku, bakuzaala wa? Ku kizinga Wambogwe" - Literally meaning- "Where are you born Kyasanku? On the island of Wambogwe". This later became one of the Mottoes(Emibala) of the Kibe Clan.

From the times of King Ssemakookiro, the duty of Chief Brewer (Sseruti) is perfomed by the Kibe Clan up to this day. But the Chief Brewer(Sseruti) these days does his work from Kawongo-Bukoba in Kyaggwe, on the King's land.

When King Ssemakookiro died, Kyasanku (Sseruti) was killed. That was the tradition and belief those days. Kyasanku's son, Kagi, became his heir. And he was the "Sseruti" during King Kamaanya's reign(1794-1824). When King Kamaanya died, Kagi was also killed. Kagi's successor was his brother Mujere. This tradition of killing the Chief Brewer (Sseruti), whenever a King died, stopped after the death of King Ssuuna ll (1824-1856). When Kibawo, the then Chief Brewer, was never killed and continued doing his job up to the times of King Mukaabya Walugembe Mutesa (1856-1884)

Kibe is a Luganda name which means fox. The Kibe Clan existed during the reign of King Kintu. The Head of the Clan is called Muyige. The Clan seat for Muyige is found at Wantaayi in Kyaggwe(Present Mukono District). The Kibe Clan people first settled in Busujju before they went to Kyaggwe(presently Mukono district) Origin Once upon a time, King Jjuuko ordered his young brother Prince Kayemba to go and conquer the Buvuma territory. Prince Kayemba went with many Kibe Clan members to fight for the territory of Buvuma. After successfully conquering Buvuma, some of his men from the Kibe Clan settled there. From Buvuma, some members then moved to Busoga. When Prince Kayemba returned to Buganda from Buvuma, many of the Kibe Clan members returned with him. They arrived at the Harbour Kigaya and it is from here that they were able to acquire land on the hills surrounding Harbour-Kiyaga and in the village of Makindu. They got land in Buikwe too as well as its surrounding and other places such as Buzaana and Bugolo. Kibe Clan became prominent during the reign of Kabaka Ssemakookiro who ruled between 1779-1794. ________________________________________________ Face book :   / bmtvafrica   Twitter :   / bmtvafrica   Instagram :   / bmtvafrica   Email : Bludpsad@gmail.com _________________________________ Ebikwata ku kika Ekika Obubaka Ekika Kibe Omuziro Mpiri Omukulu w'Ekika (Omutaka) .

_______________________________ Main role The Kibe Clan was given the role of "Obasenero bw'omwenge gwa Kabaka" meaning "Chief brewers to the King(Kabaka)" They got this title from the Nvuma Clan. They received this role during the reign of King Ssemakokiro.[ Origin of the Main role There was a man called Kyasanku who belonged to the Kibe Clan, he went to live with Prince Ssemakookiro when he was living in Nnamwezi in Kyaggwe(currently Mukono District). This was where the Prince was preparing his men to attack his brother Kabaka Jjunju. Kyasanku was a member of Ssemakokiro's army, so on their way to fight Kabaka Jjunju, Prince Ssemakokiro asked Kyasanku to give him some brew. By then, Kyasanku had thought of the idea of drinking brew with a stick which was hollow(Oluseke). This led to the Prince asking Kyasanku what had happened to the brew which had a stick in it. He asked,"Omwenge gwange gw'osimbyemu Oluti gubade ki?" which simply means,"What has happened to my brew in which you have put a stick(Oluti)?" Kyasanku replied saying,"Oluti olwo lujja kukunywesa bulungi omwenge nga teguyinza na kukuyiikira." simply meaning ,"The stick(oluti) will enable you drink your brew properly and it cannot spill on you." The Prince then decided to use the stick and realised the drink was flowing well and using the stick was more comfortable and convenient for him. So, from that time on, whenever he wanted a drink, he would ask Kyasanku to bring him brew together with the stick. That is when the Prince started calling Kyasanku,"Sseruti, ndeteera ku mwenge gwange nyweeko" meaning, "Sseruti, bring my brew so that I can drink." That is how Kyasanku got to be nicknamed Sseruti. Sseruti comes from the word Oluti which means stick. After Prince Ssemakookiro fighting and defeating his big brother Jjunju, he removed the duty of Chief brewers from the Nvuma Clan and gave the duty to Sseruti who discovered the way of drinking brew with a stick(Oluseke-Oluti)
