THE PRINCE WHO KILLED HIS GRANDFATHER, THE KABAKA, AND SEIZED THE THRONE: AN ERA THAT ENDED WHEN HE WENT MAD What you see in the picture is Kabaka Ttembo. He killed the reigning Kabaka — his own grandfather and became the new king. But why…? Let’s see below ✍🏽️ Ttembo was the son of Prince Lumansi, one of Kabaka Kimera’s sons. Prince Lumansi had died in the east, in present-day Busoga, where he had gone to collect taxes and livestock on behalf of his father, Ssekabaka Kimera. At the time, Busoga was a vassal state that paid tribute to Buganda. As a young prince, Ttembo realised he had a grandfather but no father. He began questioning his mother, Nattembo, about why he was fatherless. Oh! 🙆🏾‍♂️ One day she finally told him that Kabaka Kimera had caused his father’s death by sending him to Busoga. From that moment, the young prince began planning his revenge. Ssekabaka Kimera loved the young Ttembo so much and often took him hunting. One day, while the Kabaka was out hunting, Ttembo stealthily approached him from behind with a large stick and struck him dead, thereby avenging his father’s death and claiming the throne. 😳 From that day, the large stick used to kill his grandfather was given the name “Awakula Ennume…” Ttembo proved to be a cruel ruler who ruled Buganda with an iron hand and created a climate of fear throughout the kingdom. His reign came to an end when he went mad. Some say it was the spirit of his murdered grandfather, Kimera, that drove him insane. To this day, anyone who becomes mad in Buganda is said to be under the curse that befell Kabaka Ttembo. This is reflected in the Baganda saying about mad people: “oyo ayita Ttembo.”

My fellow farmers, I need your help now now 🤧🤧 I didn't know feeding the nation meant feeding birds too

She's right I myself don't support it, and by the way that's not a kiganda way

You think you're too petty, then there’s me who can’t use a pen without its cap

I really need someone to tell me what exactly happened to Wave. This fintech company had penetrated the market with a lot of energy. Yali gumite. What led to its quick downfall? Do we blame the mobile money giants, MTN and Airtel?
