Evidence (2024-05-08): They immediately found Lake Victoria, which they called Nam Lolwe, meaning "endless lake." When they arrived, it seemed like the water went on forever.

Since they arrived in Kenya over five hundred years ago, they have become very influential and are the fourth largest ethnic group in Kenya today. Other groups moved along the shores of the lake into Tanzania.

Claim: Lolwe is a territory of Kenya (Lolwe, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2023-03-09): Like many other countries, Kenya is an agglomeration of different territories cobbled together through a series of historical accidents and the expansionist fantasies of men with guns. The vast majority of Kenyans live in the south alongside the rail line that connects Mombasa on the coast and Kisumu on Nam Lolwe (Lake Victoria). But a vast swath of Kenya is distributed across only five out of the 47 counties — Turkana, Marsabit, Mandera, Wajir and Garissa — in the country’s north and east. The British colonial government was so intimidated by the ingenuity and grit it took to survive these territories that its administration never took hold here. The region was administered separately from the rest of the country, handily labelled "the Northern Frontier District". It was here that political prisoners demanding independence served their sentences and unlucky colonisers were sent as punishment. Even today, so removed are they from the construct of the nation that when you visit from the south you are routinely greeted by the question "how is Kenya?"

Claim: Lolwe is a territory of Uganda (Lolwe, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2024-10-08): Uganda,[b] officially the Republic of Uganda,[c] is a landlocked country in East Africa. It is bordered to the east by Kenya, to the north by South Sudan, to the west by the Democratic Republic of the Congo, to the south-west by Rwanda, and to the south by Tanzania. The southern part includes a substantial portion of Lake Victoria, shared with Kenya and Tanzania. Uganda is in the African Great Lakes region, it lies within the Nile basin, and has a varied equatorial climate. As of 2024[update], it has a population of over 49 million, of which 8.5 million live in the capital and largest city, Kampala. [...] At Independence, the Buganda question remained unresolved. Uganda was one of the few colonial territories that achieved independence without a dominant political party with a clear majority in parliament. In the pre-Independence elections, the UPC ran no candidates in Buganda and won 37 of the 61 directly elected seats (outside Buganda). The DP won 24 seats outside Buganda. The "special status" granted to Buganda meant that the 21 Buganda seats were elected by proportional representation reflecting the elections to the Buganda parliament – the Lukikko. KY won a resounding victory over DP, winning all 21 seats. [...] - ^ "Ministry of Local Government Fact Sheet" (PDF). MOLG. 1 July 2017. Archived from the original (PDF) on 2 December 2017.

Claim: Lolwe is a territory of Uganda (Lolwe, 2024-10-09)
Evidence (2022-06-22): At the earliest opportunity after your conference, on a Thursday afternoon, you set out aboard the Southern Line from Victoria Station. In western Kenya, the lake named after the queen who married her first cousin dominates the landscape of your ancestors: it is ‘true north’ for your people, the Luo of Kenya, who settled on its shores after drifting south along the Nile, from present-day Sudan via Uganda into what is now Kenya. They marked their territory in the lake basin, announcing their intention to stay permanently by building defence infrastructure: earthen reinforcements known as Gunda Bur, and a modest 500-year-old approximation of Great Zimbabwe, now designated as a world heritage site in Migori: Thimlich Ohinga. The lake’s original name is Lolwe, but even popular song lyrics – "Victoria, Dala gi Mama yo, Victoria Dala gi Baba yo" – claim Victoria, the dead, white and incestuous queen as home. In the UK, the coincidence that you boarded the Southern-bound train to your past at the station named for that same monarch was not lost on you. The 35-minute ride took you 35 years back in time. Time travel can be surprisingly banal.

A dive operation was conducted at the crash fate, and 2 engines 40 HP each, were dismantled from the boats, and the cargo boat turned to Jinja.

Evidence (2020-02-21): Let’s take the example above of Uganda, which shares Lake Victoria (or as we prefer to call it around here, Nam Lolwe) with Kenya and Tanzania, and two lake borders with the DRC. The Lake Victoria borders have been the source of some friction for a decade, esp. with Kenya, about a small densely populated island (Yes guys, Migingo) and the waters around it[1].

A place in which humble lifestyles is complimented, not replaced, by recent technologies. Men and women who still value the ancient traditions of hard work and providence. Armed with lamps, nets and hope in their hearts they set sail at dusk from the beaches of Manga, Wakawaka, Sika, Kibarua and Kwoyo, and let the waters ease boats named in praise of their mothers and grandmothers into the Nam Lolwe. They survive the dregs of the night and come back home with a bounty. During they day, they air out their fishes to dry. Women and children stand guard to shoo away notorious Okok, the White Egret bird, from plundering their loot. Later on, they measure the scoop by the kilo, and then trade it off.

Evidence (2024-09-16): On its eastern shores, it was Nam Lolwe. The Luo called it "the endless lake", for if you cast your eyes as far as you could, there was never an end in sight. Despite the different names it held, the lake was a place of great significance for the communities that lived around it. Its fresh waters enabled them to till the land, herd their cattle, and cast their nets out to fish. In 1858, the search for the source of the Nile River resulted in an expedition led by British explorer John Hanning Speke. He became the first European to set his eyes on this majestic waterbody, so he christened it Victoria after the reigning British monarch. This was the first and most notable change in the lake’s identity, and this became the name adapted in reference to its entirety. The second change occurred about 50 years down the line, during the scramble and partition of Africa. The three regions that Lake Victoria occupies came under different national territories. Nalubaale became a part of Uganda, Ukerewe fell under Tanzania, and Nam Lolwe under Kenya. [...] There is much more to say about this lake, so share the facts, myths, and folklore you know about Nam Lolwe with us!
