Nvuma Clan

[1] The clan started when the first Kyaddondo came to Buganda with the first Kabaka Kato Kintu.

Kyaddondo was from Bubembe in the Ssese Islands and he joined forces with Kato Kintu in a major battle at Mangira in Kyaggwe against Bbemba of Buddo.

[2] Legend has it that one day Kyaddondo was traveling in a canoe between the island of Bubembe and Funve, he was holding the nvuma seed which slipped and fell in the water sinking to the bottom.

Kyaddondo then ordered those in his entourage as well as his children to search for the Nvuma seed until it is recovered from the water but all was in vain.

As a result, this was the origin of the Baganda saying "Ogutateganya teguzza Nvuma" meaning "Without hardwork, there is no reward.
