The struggle with many a rigid Logooli cultural practices

  The Logooli community is one of the deeply cultured societies – with near everything supposed to have been done as per custom – to allow another custom to follow. One example is that for a mature man (with a child or more) to be buried, there must be a house structure at home. Another is that a boy must be circumcised and nursed in father land. If maternal family decides to, the boy will have a hard time reconnecting with father people - a dent on his masculinity. There were two children who got burnt to death in a house in Nairobi. The single mother had left for night work. Elders were told that one of the children was Logooli. The other, the woman had sired with someone else. The Logooli family wanted to burry their little one and long discussed the do’s and don’ts. Of a man who died childless and the grave was placed as if he had died as a man with children.

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!!
