They form, in fact, an important link in the chain of Hamitic peoples who extend from Galla-land through Unyoro and Uganda southwards to Lake Tanganyika.

The prevailing fashion may be described as a kind of a helmet... Lango women, who amongst the finest and most symmetrical of the Equatorial lake regions, wear little clothing or embellishments beyond west-bands, necklaces, armlets, and anklets" (p. 360).Rwot Ogwangguji was born in 1875 in Abedpiny village in Lira District (Okino, Patrick, and Odongo, Bonney).

[12][13][14] Driberg described Lango people as: "brave and venturesome warriors who have won fear and respect of their neighbours...not being idle witnesses to watching of the misfortunes of their neighbours...treating facts of life with no sense of false modesty..."[11]The Lango army was united under one military leader chosen from available men, and all had to agree to be led by him.

Their authority ended when the war was over, and they all returned to their clans and resumed their daily occupations and were not entitled to any special benefits.

Obol Ario of Apac Okwero Ngec Ayita Clan eventually settled at Amac where he later died and was buried.
