Heavy responsibilities for elder aunt among the Logooli

With Seenge Fonesi. She is the elder grand daughter of Isagi and elder daughter of Amugasya. She is often present in functions involving the family of Amugasya. Pic taken on 18/4/2024. The elder sister soon becomes the elder aunt. It is this “seenge munene” (elder aunt) tag that she is tied to many cultural responsibilities – back home.

Maragoli to be recognized in Uganda as a tribe.

Brown Indumwa: Maragoli as Uganda tribe. ....

Prof Kikaya: Thanks for your Comments especially the 2022 Scenarios!!. 
Yes Kigumba is Maragoli. When we visited couple years back, were told that when the first batch Maragoli went there, they found a forsaken place. Tsetse flies had decimated Cows leaving a trail of bones. Hence the Kigumba. Ugandans had been scared away of this cursed land that kills their mainstay - Cows. Given the exposure Maragoli had with the White man, they appealed to British Colonial Government for drugs. Hence the setting up of the Typonimiosis (Can't spell that word), Tsetse Flies Disease Research Centre in Uganda. Maragoli then Settled here doing farming and keeping cows as Ugandans ran away from these people whose Cows don't die! ! So many migrated there and now cover a whole District! The rest of it is History🚶🏽🚶🏽‍♀🏃🏽‍♀🏃🏽

Prof Kikaya: 👆🏾👆🏾We visited a couple years ago my wife's First Cousins whose grandparents settled there years ago!

Prof Kikaya: "Aii Umundu Musaniaga Uyu! !

-‬: 😂😂 people whom their cows don't die scared them away

Baba Ndanyi: @⁨Prof Kikaya⁩ 
The Ugandans named them Abalokole, people who are 'saved' from calamities, that's where the name Avalogooli came from. By the way do you know the Burundian President has a religious sect known as Abalokole, he is a Mulokole!!
