Let me add my voice in historical perspective.
-Lugbara would have been easier if the Roman Catholics and Church of Uganda
Bible writers sat together to agree on certain things. Catholics write things
different from the Protestants. However, it is not yet late to undo the
differences.

Yes I believe interest is material when it comes to learning a foreign

That one was less dramatic than this one. But I'd also heard of
Many people I have interacted with describe the Lugbara's as friendly, sociable
and honest people but have had difficulty embracing the culture because of the
complex language. This is the uniqueness about us which I had not realized. I

Wao...!! what a wonderful article, this information has brought out so many

Your clan may be related to the Goburi clan in Koboko (Lobule
subcounty) just like the Godia clan in Terego are the same clan as the
Godria in Koboko, Congo and South Sudan.

Hi George you have just made my day with this hilarious piece by the dutch lady
struggling with Lugbara. It is amazing! She really knows how to write
reflections. I would be glad to access her blog if you don't mind. I would like
to follow the discourse.
Regards.

This is a very interesting piece. It is always nice to see things from an
out-siders perspective and make sense of things we are usually oblivious to,
house-mouth, za-mva, et all!
The piece does bring out some things that worry anthropologist too, cultures
are gradually getting eroded
I've always tried getting material online to teach me our language go which
am an immature novice.i'v so far failed, but my determination is to have a
