Busoga Times

@Ivanmugume @AnitahAmong @MosesMagogo For example,'cousin' dilutes seriousness & closeness of the relationship you have with your maternal & paternal aunties & uncles. It's either mwanhoko/brother or mwaninhaze/sister. That's why people tend to use cousin brother or cousin sister to bring out the close kinship.

@Ivanmugume @AnitahAmong @MosesMagogo In Busoga, your biological mother's sister is your mother [Mama]. Your biological father's brother is your father [baba]. English makes it okay, but in Busoga, it's rude to refer to your mother's sister as aunty. It's regarded as segregation. Aunty [senga] is ur father's sister.

Dear friends, family, and valued colleagues, it is with profound sorrow that we share the passing of our beloved Mother, Mama Nakisuyi Ruth Biribawa Safia, mother of my dear husband, Honourable Eng. @MosesMagogo. Mama Ruth peacefully left us this afternoon at Kampala Hospital. A vigil will be held tomorrow, Thursday, 9th April, at our home in Kagulu, Buyende District, followed by her burial on Friday, 10th April. We deeply appreciate your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. May the Almighty Allah grant her eternal peace—Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un.

@CharlieCtar @Ivanmugume @AnitahAmong @MosesMagogo In Lusoga vernacular, we don't have a name for maternal aunty or paternal uncle. Senga or kojja don't apply. Those are for your father's sister or your mother's brother.

@Ivanmugume @AnitahAmong @MosesMagogo Just to ask. How do you call the sisters to you mum???
