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
