It’s likely ancient civilisation of humanity began at the source of River Nile in Busoga, Uganda, not Egypt
Indigenous peoples are and regard themselves as guardians and stewards of nature. Moreover, they invariably recognise linkages between health, diet, properties of different foods and medicinal plants, and horticultural/natural resources management practices – all within a highly articulated cosmological /social context (Hugh-Jones, 1999; Posey, 1999). The Basoga, therefore, should be seen in this light is vis-à-vis Budhagali falls. The Falls were a critical element in what can be called the sacred balance of the Basoga with nature.

Was Jomo Kenyatta Ugandan? Scholars trace Kenya’s founding president’s ancestry to a Musoga woman called Katundu, who gave Gatundu its name
There is, however, another narrative of Jomo Kenyatta’s ancestry, which asserts that Kenyatta belonged to Soga culture and was thus a Musoga of the Chwezi Igaga clan, to which Prince Byaruhanga Ndahura, the founder of the Busoga Kingdom at Nnenda Hill, and His son Wamara Byaruhanga Ndahura, the first King of Busoga, belonged.

Chwezi and witchcraft: Why Ugandans fear Museveni and Kagame are keen on Tutsi political hegemony in East Africa
Currently, encouraged by the fact that power in Uganda is dominated by people of Tutsi/Hima extraction, the Tutsi wield the real power in the country. Many are local council leaders at all levels of administration, resident district commissioners, institutional leaders and even represent Ugandans at local and parliamentary levels. Others sit on the bench of judges while many hold ministerial positions. Many are definitely holding big positions in the Uganda armed forces, including prisons. This means that the best paid people in Uganda tend to belong to the same ethnicity. It is more or less the same people fuelling corruption in the country.
