Nabongo Wanga
Nabongo Wanga was the founding father of the today's Wanga subtribe of the Luhya tribe of Kenya. He was born around 1050 A.D. His reign was between 1100 A.D. to his death around 1140 A.D. Birth and early life Nabongo Wanga was born in the year 1050 A.D. of King Mwanga III. His early life history goes back to his ancestors who were part of the migration that settled in the Kampala area and formed the Buganda Kingdom. In their culture, it was a belief that a king’s paternal brother or paternal cousin is eligible for succession to the throne and thus he poses a threat to the reigning king. Accordingly, a ''Baganda'' prince ''(omulangira)'' called Kanyiri, a son of Mawanda of Buganda fled to the Tiriki area in the current Kakamega County (formerly Western Province) of Kenya in the upheaval that followed the murder of his father Mawanda of Buganda by a group of Ganda princes led by his cousin Mwanga I of Buganda. There, Kanyiri became a ruler and was succeeded by his son Wanga. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Nabongo Wabala
Wabala was a ''Nabongo'' (King) who ruled the '' Abawanga'' around 1140 - 1190. His father was called Nabongo Wanga, the founding father of the famous Wanga Kingdom.

Wanga had appointed Wabala as his successor over his elder brother, Murono. In the course of all the dispute, Wabala was assassinated in Bukhayo, and it was alleged that Murono was the one who instigated his brother's murder.

Nabongo Musui
Nabongo Musui (also Musuwi) was one of the sons of Nabongo Wabala. Musuwi was possibly born in the 12th century in Matungu where the Wanga Kingdom's capital (Itookho) was located. There is no much information about his childhood.

Nabongo Mumia
Nabongo Mumia Shiundu (born:1849 – died:1949) was a prince who became 17th King of the Wanga Kingdom, a pre-colonial kingdom in Kenya prominent for being a centralised, highly organised kingdom and the most advanced form of government in terms of politics, economy and military in pre-colonial Kenya. He later became paramount chief of an expansive region of Kenya at the beginning of British imposition of colonial rule in East Africa.

History Of Kenya
A part of Eastern Africa, the territory of what is known as Kenya has seen human habitation since the beginning of the Lower Paleolithic. The Bantu expansion from a West African centre of dispersal reached the area by the 1st millennium AD. With the borders of the modern state at the crossroads of the Bantu, Nilo-Saharan and Afro-Asiatic ethno-linguistic areas of Africa, Kenya is a truly multi-ethnic state. The European and Arab presence in Mombasa dates to the Early Modern period, but European exploration of the interior began in the 19th century. The British Empire established the East Africa Protectorate in 1895, from 1920 known as the Kenya Colony. The independent Republic of Kenya was formed in 1963. It was ruled as a de facto one-party state by the Kenya African National Union (KANU), led by Jomo Kenyatta from 1963 to 1978. Kenyatta was succeeded by Daniel arap Moi, who ruled until 2002. Moi attempted to transform the ''de facto'' one-party status of Kenya into a ''de ju ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
