Nabamba Budhagali 39
On September 1, Mzee Nabamba Budhagali, a spiritual leader of Busoga clans, curer of different ailments, and the 39th oracle of the River Nile rapids dubbed the Bujagalli falls, was admitted to Nile International Hospital in very critical condition.
Budhagali, with his famous shoulder-length dreadlocks and tobacco yellow scattered beards, lay in a coma at the hospital, having been diagnosed with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) stroke, which resulted from unmonitored high blood pressure and diabetes.
Blood had poured in his brain, as according to doctors and his entire side was not movable. On top of that, he needed a very huge bill to sustain him in a hospital.
Budhagali was pronounced dead on October 26, responding to God’s final call, and indeed tearing him away from the years of his service on earth, albeit as an oracle to spirits in charge of a section of falls on an earthly river
Brought by the Spirits
Nabamba claimed was not in control of himself when in the presence of the spirits, and just like his predecessors, he was chosen by the spirts that blow speed in the falls. He walked from wherever he was unconsciously and found himself at Bujagali from where he sailed on a mat across the river.
He was crowned Mandwa Budhagali, meaning the one on whose head the spirits rest to drive violence in the waters, passing judgment on mankind and riding out disease. The spirits came with so many powers, some only heard of from stories of those that have also heard from others, while many of them were realistic and the very basis he was a very sought after traditionalist.
Budhagali’s powers thrust him in the limelight, he was known from the end of the Nile to the farthest point in Europe. A sight of him steered a strange fear amongst the toddlers, for he was viewed as the peak of spirits’ cocktail, and not that his physical look made it any less.
Nabamba enjoyed the limelight as it came and he was by default, the only Ugandan traditional spiritual leader that gathered people from every nook and cranny in his shrine-filled compound in Budondo Village in Jinja District- the source of his other title- Dada (grandfather).
Frustrated by man
Soon Budhagali would be overtaken by earthly pleasure and slowly slide back into human skin when in the late 2000s, government proposed to construct the Bujagali dam with a destructive tunnel passing exactly where the said spirits are located.
His livelihood (literally) was not only threatened by the construction of the dam, but also by the fact that ‘sharper’ oracles claiming administration of the Nile rapids passed back door and received Shs100m, apparently to relocate the spirits and enable graders successfully operate.
These were led by local chief spirit medium Benedicto Nfuudu, who conducted theatrical traditional rites to release the Bujagali spirits.
A mad Nabamba ran to government and disputed the relocation, saying those who performed the rites were after financial compensation. He asked that Nfuudu and his accomplices be arrested and charged with impersonation.
He went ahead and threatened that calamity would befall the nation if the dam was constructed before he personally relocated the spirits.
That was all, Budaghali had been out scooped, and it was now time for the whole world to watch him put up a show.
Alas, Nabamba resorted to earthlier means of dealing with the frustration, dragging Nfuudu and a one Waguma Ntembe to court over the relocation of the spirits.
When nothing was coming through from court, Budhagali set on fire, a shrine belonging to Ntembe along river Nile. He was summoned for dialogue later but all was lost, there was little he could retrieve for himself.
Those who sought his powers saw no more use, those who believed in him saw no further interest, while those who did not care could not wait for the commissioning of the dam.
Indeed, by the time of his death, Nababamba’s family required a communal contribution to maintain his bills. Initially, the family had asked that the powerful Budhagaali be discharged before his date because there was no money to pay for his continuous hospital retention.
For a man believed to have sailed at leisure across the violent sections of the river Nile while seated on a mat, Budhagali signs out, humbled by man and an intact legacy before him for all Busoga and the World to behold.
I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both equally educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you have
hit the nail on the head. The issue is an issue that too few folks are speaking intelligently about.
