Abathende era abayitibwa Bathende (abanatera okukomolwa) bakunganyizibwanga wamu ne bakola ekiyitibwa Olhuthende (okukumba/okulamaga okutuuka awabeeranga wategekeddwa emikolo gya Olhusumba).

Omusajja Omukonzo omukomole bweyafa nga, amazina g'ekinnansi ag'enjawulo gazinibwanga agayitibwa "Omukumu" ku mikolo gy'amaziika ge.

Obufumbo bw'abaana abato saako n'abakadde okuganza abaana abato kyali waggulu nnyo mu Bakonzo naddala omuntu ow'emyaka 50+ okuwasa omubuvubuka ow'emyaka 20.Jonathan, Williamson (2007-09-24).https://www.newvision.co.ug/articledetails/1218729 Okwetaba mu bikola eby'omukwano nga tomunnafumbiriganwa byagaanibwa mu Bakonzo.

 Okubookinga abagalwa 
Okubookinga abagalwa ku myaka emito byakolebwanga aba famire ezaali ziliranye. Edda abakadde balina okulonda omuwala (Omwalyana) owa mu mutabani waabwe nga bakolnga nga okunoonyereza ku famire y'omuwala. Omulenzi teyalina lukusa kwelondera mugole we/ mukyala we (Omwalyana). Era bwali buvunanyizibwa bwa Famire y'omuwala okukola okunoonyereza ku Famire y'omulenzi oba munyiikivu mu kukola saako n'empisa. Kyali kikkirizibwa nti abaana ab'empisa ennungi bwe babfumbiriganwanga, baali bajjakuzaala abaana abalina empisa ng'ezabakkadde baabwe.

Abazadde baali bakkirizibwa okubookinga omuwala famire eyo n'ebweba tennaba kuzaala mwana muwala (Erihiika) n'okukakasa okwagala kwaabwe, famire y'omulenzi y'atwalanga eddiba ly'embuzi oba endiga eryali ligonzeddwa n'omuzigo (Embono) eri omukulu wa famire gyebasiimye ku lw'omuwala yenna anazaalibwa naddala ng'omukyala mu maka ago ali lubuto. Era omwana azaalibwa bwabeera mulenzi, era famire eyatwala eddiba esigala n'essuubi nti omwana omuwala lw'azaalibwa. Omwana omuwala bw'azaalibwa, eddiba ly'embuzi oba ely'endiga eryatwalibwa lyelikozesebwa okumuweeka okutuusa lw'akula. Okukola eddiba eryo, embuzi oba endiga yagibwako eddiba okutandikira ku nsingo ppaka ku bugere era nga olw'olususu lw'obugere lwe lukozesebwa okusiba omwana.

Omwana oyo eyabookingibwa bweyawezanga emyaka munaana (08), yategezebwa amaka geyali agenda okufumbirwamu era olumu yasindikibwanga okutwalayo ebintu mu maka ga famire eyo n'olumu okuzanyirayo n'okukula n'abaana abalala okuyiga empisa zaabwe okutuusa lw'eyaweza emyaka kkumi (10) olwo n'aweebwayo mu butongole eri famire eyo. Naye teyabeeranga ne asuubira okufuuka balo anti naye yabeeranga mu myaka kkuminebiri (12) ku kkuminena (14) wabula yasulanga ne Nnazaalawe (Mabyalha) ku bulili bwe bumu ne Ssezaalawe (Tatabyalha) okutuusa lwe yawezanga emyaka wakati wa kkuminena (14) n'ekkuminomukaaga (16) okusinzira ku ddi bakadde b'omulenzi bwebagalamu omuwala oyo okufumbirwa mutabani waabwe n'okutandiika amaka gaabwe.

Obufumbo bw'obuwangwa obwatandikibwa ku nkola eyo bwa wangaala nnyo olw'enkolagana ey'amaanyi eyaliwo mu famire zombi okuva mu buto okutuusa lwe bakula. Naye ensangi zino, bombi omulenzi n'omuwala bakuzibwa mu famire z'anjawulo naye omulenzi n'omuwala bwe begombagana, omulenzi awa omuwala abbaluwa ekkakasa nti amwagadde era mwetegefu okumuwasa. Era bw'akikkiriza, omusajja atekeddwa okumuwa ekirabo "Ekisiimo" nga kirina okuba omuwendo gwa ssente naye kisoboka okuba ekintu kyonna omusajja ky'alaba nga kisaana omukazi gw'alonze okuva ku ntobo y'omutima gwe okusinziira ku busobozi bwe era tewali alagira ku muwendo gw'alina okuwa nga Ekisiimo kubanga omuntu alina okukola ekyo ky'asobola era tebalina kusuubira kinene okuva eri omusajja.

Famire y'omukyala eya nobye basobola okusalawo okuzaayo muwala waabwe oluvanyuma lw'okunoba oba omusajja azze okusisinkagana ne famire y'omuwala oba nedda oba oluvanyuma lw'okubigaayamu naye ne bakizuula nti ensonga eza munobeza teziliimu gumba. Taata w'omuwala atwala embuzi eri famire y'omusajja ne bagisala, ne bagifumba era ne bagirya. Naye singa n'omusajja agaana okuddingaana n'omukyala , Taata w'omuwala aweebwa ebbaluwa okuva eri taata w'omulenzi elambika nti omugole bamutadde era omusajja eyandiyagadde okumuwasa asobola okumuwasa.

Oluvanyuma lw'omuwala/mukyala (anatera okufuuka omugole) okutegezaako ku nnyina omusajja gw'alonze okubeera baze n'obudde bwateeseteese okubakyalira. Maama oluvanyuma ategeeza taata ku bufumbo bwa muwalawe nga bwayanjula n'ekirabo kye yaguze ng'akozesa ekisiimo.Nabiruma, Diana. Era ne banoonyereza ku mulenzi anatera okufuuka omukoddomi okugeza ebyafaayo bya famire mwava. N'oluvanyuma ebivudde mu kunonyereza by'andiba mu bbaluwa oba mu bigamba biwerezebwa eri famire y'omusajja (anateera okufuuka omwami) okuyita mu muwala waabwe nga mulimu n'obudde obukkiriziganyiziddwako bwalina okujja okukyala n'okwongera okumanyigana.

 Emikolo gy'okwanjulwa (Erisunga) 
Omugaso gw'okwanjulwa kwe kumanya wa omukyala ( anatera okubeera omugole) gy'asibuka saako n'okuteesa ku mutwalo (Omukagha) oba ebiralo ebiwasa omukyala famire y'omusajja byelina okutwala eri famire y'omukyala okuwasa muwala waabwe.https://www.monitor.co.ug/uganda/magazines/life/we-had-our-traditional-and-mosque-function-at-once-1714634 Famire y'omuwala yetekeddwa okusasulira by'onna ebikozesebwa ku mukolo gw'okwanjula (erisunga) nga teyambiddwako famire y'omusajja. Abatatha (ba Taata ne ba kojja b'omugole omusajja) be bagenda ku mukolo guno. Omugole omusajja tategkeddwa kwetaba ku mukolo guno. Famire y'omuwala esobola okukkiriza oba okugaana famire y'omulenzi oluvanyuma lw'okunoonyereza. Naye singa omuwala oba omulenzi balemerako okufumbiriganwa oluvanyuma lw'okuganibwa famire awo baba tebagya kufuna mikisa okuva eri abazadde.

Ku nnaku z'omwezi ezikkiriziganyiziddwako okukola erisunga, famire y'omugole omusajja etekeddwa okuleeta Ekongotha (omwenge ogumanyikiddwa nga Tonto mu Ekisya Kita kya liita 40 oba ebidomola bibiri ebya liita 20 buli kimu naye ensangi zino kisinzira ku famire gy'okyalamu okusinzira ku nzikiriza n'ebyo byebakkiriza, famire z'Abakonzo ezimu zagala kuleeti za Soda (ezitasukka mu kuleeti ssatu (03) ne kuleeti za Biya. Aba famire y'omugole omusajja bwe batuuka mu maka ga famire y'omugole omukyala, asitudde ekita (Ekongotha) ayambibwako okumutikkula era atekeddwa okunwako olw'endo ku Ekongotha (Engotho) okulaga aba famire y'omukyala nti tegulina buzibu n'okulaga nti temuli butwa era ne tonto yategekeddwa bulungi. Era oyo alondeddwa okukiikirira famire y'omugole omukyala anywera ku kikobo ky'ekimu okukakasa nti ssi kyattabu okunywebwa aba famire abalala. Omugaso gwa Ekongotha kugonza mitima gy'abantu abaali mu lukiiko obutazira birabo bileeteddwa okuwasa omukazi n'okukebera oba omwana omulenzi y'esobola. Erisunga era yetaaga Fumura kigambo nga ebeera mbuzi esalibwa singa famire eyo eba tasalangako kisolo kirala kyonna.

 Obufumbo (Erithahya) 
Obufumbo bwa Abakonzo bukkirizibwa oluvanyuma lw'okuwaayo ebirabo ebiwasa omukazi (Omukagha) ogwakkanyizibwako mu kwanjulwa (Erisunga) nga gusasuddwa eri famire y'omuwala ku lunaku lw'obufumbo (erithahya). Era famire y'omulenzi egenda mu maka ga famire y'omuwala ku nnaku endagaane okuwaayo Omukagha omukolo ogubaako okulya n'okuzina.

Omugole omukyala bwaba alekulira okugenda mu maka g'omwami we oluvanyuma lw'emikolo, aba famire ye bonna batuula nga bamwebunguludde era buli omu amulerako okutuusa lwatuuka ku asembayo ( ate kubeera mukulu wa famire) nga amugwa mu kifuba omulundi ogusembayo. Y'ensonga lw'aki abafumbo abasinga mu Bakonzo tebakkirizibwa kugwa mu bifuba by'aba kitaabwe n'okubalera kubanga babagwa mu kifo omulundi ogw'asembayo ekiraga akabonero nti afuuse wa famire y'omusajja mu bujjuvu era ng'eyo gy'azikibwa ka kibe kki.

Embuzi ziyisibwa mu nnyimba omwatuuzibwa olukiiko olwasala ebintu ebiwasa omukazi era embuzi eyo bweyafuka ng'omukolo ogwo gukolebwa, kabeera nga kabonero ka mukisa,  embuzi bweyawaliranga okuyita mu nyumba, bagiyiwangako amazi esobole okuyita mu nyumba.

Omukyala bweyafunanga olubuto ng'ebintu tebinnatwalibwa bazadde be ne bakimanyako olwo embuzi eyitibwa Embene eye Eyakibanga esalibwa omusaayi gwayo n'egulekebwa okukulukuta nga tennayingizibwa mu nnyumba nga ekola nga saddaaka eri ba katonda naye enkola eno tekyakolebwa. Embuzi ya Embene ye Kibanga yasalibwanga okwewala embuto okubalwako, okulwayo mu leeba, okulemelerwa okuzaala, okulongosebwa ssi nakindi okufiira mu ssanya.

Omusajja Omukonzo bwawasa omukazi okuva mu kika ky'ekimu, embuzi Embene yo Buwuma esalibwa omusaayi negulekebwa okukulukuta okugyawo ebisiraani ebiyinza okugoberera obufumbo bw'abwe. Kyaki kikkirizibwa nti omu bwafumbirwa oba n'awasa mu kika kye, omusaayi ogwo gugambibwa okulwana era omukyala n'avaamu embuto, oba omukyala ayinza n'obutazaala oba okuzaala abaana nga bafa. Okusala ebisolo kabonero akalaga nti oluganda wakati waabwe luweddewo era tebatekeddwa kinyiigagana oba okwelumya n'ebwebaba bafunye obutakaanya. Eky'obuwangwa kino kikyakolebwa ne mu nnaku zino.

 Ebitwalibwa ku buko okuwasa omukazi mulimu; 
Ebita by'omwenge kkuminabibiri (12) (oba ebidomola 24 ebya liita 20 ng'era kisoboka okubeera kuleeti za sooda oba bbiya 12), embuzi kkuminabbiri (12) (zisobola okubeera ez'obuliwo oba sinnakindi mu ngeri ya ssente ezo ezibeera zikkanyizidwako), enkumbi (Eyisuuka), amasuuka nga gatereddwa mu bulangiti, omufaliso, embuzi ya Nnazaala ne Omuseye wa Maama. Edda,  Omuseye wa maama kyali nga kikomo kya zaabu oba feeza okukakasa nti endagaano ekoleddwa y'alubeerera. Naye ennaku zino ebimu ku biweebwa nga Omuseye wa maama mulimu; gomesi, engato, Ekikoyi (ekigoye ekyambalibwa mu nda), Ekitambalha kyo ku mutwe (ekiwelo ekyambalibwa ku mutwe), omushanana ne ssente ezitamanyikiddwa muwendo eziyinza okukozesebwa mu kugula obugoye bw'omunda oba okusasula omutunzi. Omuseye wa maama kirabo ekiraga akasiimo eri Mabalya (Nnazaala) olw'amaanyi ge yatekamu okukuza muwalawe.

Naye famire ezimu zikwataganya erisunga ne erithahya olwa ssente n'obudde.

 Embaga 
Okugenda ku Kkanisa oba Omuzikiti tekyali kyabuwaze munnono z'Abakonzo ez'edda. Naye kati abafumbo abamu Abakonzo bagenda mu masinzizo okutema ebirayiro n'empeta z'obufumbo. Era omuko (Mukodomi / Bonde) yawaayo omugole omukyala eri omugole omusajja ku mikolo gy'okumuwaayo mu butongole mu Kkanisa, Ekeleziya oba Omuzikiti.

Omuko bonde aka (Omukwe, Muko) y'akwata omukono gwa mwanyina okumwolekeza ku katuuti w'anakubira ebirayiro n'ateekateeka okufuuka omwami. Abagole tebakkirizibwa kukwatagana oba kusikangana mu mikono. Omusumba y'ayaniriza abagole bano era n'abasaba emikono n'oluvanyuma n'akwasa omugole omukazi eri omugole omusajja. Okuva mu kaseera ako omusumba nga abakwataganyiza emikono, abagole abo tebatengana mikono okutuusa lw'ebafuluma e Kkanisa.

 Omugole omukyala bw'aba akyali mbereera okutuusa mu kaseere k'embaga 
Ssenga ow'ensonga alina okuwerekera omugole mu maka ge amagya. Era mu kiro ky'embaga ssenga agenda n'abagole mu kisenge okubalungamya ku kiki eky'okukola naddala ekiro ky'abwe ekisooka okubeera mu bikolwa aby'abafumbo.

 Okwawukana 
Omwami n'omukyala bwe baba tebasobola kuganjola bizibu by'ebasanga n'addala ebyo ebibaviirako okwagala okwawukana, abagole bano bogera ku nsonga ezibasomooza ne besiti maani,  meturoni oba omuntu omulala yenna bafumbo gwe basuubira okuyambako mu kuzigonjoola. Bwe balemelerwa okuzigonjola, omukyala agenda ew'omukoddomi (mwanyina eya mugaba) okumulopera okwawukana kwaabwe. Oluvanyuma omuko ategeeza bakadde b'omuwala ku kunoba kw'amuwala waabwe. 

 Okukyala kw'omwami mu maka g'omukyala eyanobye 
Omusaayi oguva mu mukyala ng'azadde guba tegunnakala, Nnakawere (Omubithi) yali takkirizibwa kwebaka ku bulili bwe obw'obufumbo anti yatwalibwanga atali muyonjo kimala okwebaka ku bulili obwo saako n'okumuganya okuwona obulungi okuva mu kuzaala n'okutegana kw'olubuto. N'olwensonga eyo, yayalirwanga omufaliso wansi n'omwanawe okumala ebbanga lwa ssabiiti mukaaga (06). Olunaku Nnakawere lw'adda ku buli bwe obw'obufumbo, omukolo omulala gukolebwa ku lunaku olw'omunaana omukolo gwa Eritwa Omulhemba lwe gwakolebwa era enkeera omwana afulumizibwa n'alagibwa eri famire y'omusajja nga bano bamuwa ebirabo omuli ssente n'ebirabo ebirala eri oyo afuuse Taata, Maama. Era olunaku omwana lw'alagibwa eri bazadde b'omusajja, omukulu w'ekika lw'amutuuma erinnya ye ly'abasiimye okumuwa. Nnakawere abatekeddwa okuddayo ewaka okujjaguza ne famire ye anti aba alina okuweebwa embuzi n'akawunga ka muwogo okutwala mu makage. Era waweebwa abantu okumukwatirako ku bintu ng'addayo mu makage. Ng'atuuse ewaabwe, ssente z'asookanga kuteekebwa ku Nnakawere nga tebanna situla mwanaolwo ne balyoka bawa omwana ey'akazaalibwa emikisa. saako n'okukkiriza omwana. Abazadde abagya baddayo mu maka gaabwe era ekyo kikola nga akabonero mu lujjudde nti abafumbo bakuddamu okukola emikolo gyaabwe egy'abafumbo ku lunaku olwo lw'ennyini.

singa ensonga z'okwawukana zibeera zigonjoddwa, omukyala asalawo okuddayo n'omwami we ku lunaku lwe lumu olwo oba asobola okusabayo akadde oba ennaku entono nga tannadayo er bbawe saako n'okukakasa olunaku olutuufu lw'anaddirako ewuwe.

 Bwe waba tewali nzikiriziganya etuukiddwako 
Bweziba ng'ensonga z'okwawukana tezigonjoddwa wakati w'omwami n'omukyala okugeza ng'omukyala agaanye kuddayo ewa bba, famire y'omuwala elina okuzzaayo embuzi kkuminabbiri (12) ez'asasulwa mu kwanjula eri aba famire y'omusajja. Mu kuzaayo eby'aletebwa mu kwanjula, omuko y'atekeddwa okuzaayo Edhimu era n'omwami ayawukana ne mukyalawe atwala entebe gwabadde atuddeko mu lukiiko ne famire y'omukyala. Ebbaluwa empandiike okuva mu famire y'omusajja eweebwa aba famire y'omukyala nga ebeeramu okulambika nti omukyala bamwesonyiye era omusajja eyandiyagadde okumuwasa asobola okumuwasa. 

Wabula okufumbiriganwa kw'Abakonzo n'amawanga amalala kuviiriddeko okukoppa eby'obuwangwa n'ennono eby'abalala n'enkyukakyuka mu mirembe bakubaganye empawa ku nsonga y'okuzaayo ebintu eby'atwalibwa ku buko nga embuzi 12 ezaali z'atwalibwa ate nga omukyala yali azadde nga tannaba kunoba.

 Okuzaayo omukyala eri bba 
Naye edda, "Ekisiimo" kyabeeranga ssente. Kyabeeranga Ekisiimo omukyala ky'eyakozesanga okwanjula omusajjawe eri bakadde be oba maama oba taata wabula abakyala abasinga bategeeza ba nnyabwe, yakozesanga Ekisiimo okwegulira ebintu ebipya nga engoye, era ekitundu ku Ekiisimo ssengawe ow'ensonga (Songali wesonga) anamutwala mu bufumbo. Naye omukyala (anatera okubeera omugole) alina okwanjula omuwendo ogumuweereddwa eri maamawe saako n' zasaasanyizako era n'abintu ki by'abuze. Okuva ku mutemwa gw'agabiddeko nnyina, maama akozesaako okugulira taatawe ekirabo oba ekintu kyayagala kubanga maamawe y'amanyi kki bbawe ky'ayagala.

 Emikolo egikolebwa oluvanyuma lw'okuzaala 
Omukyala bwa ba ali lubuto, famire y'omuwala ebeera elina okutegeezebwako basobole okweteeateeka n'okusaba. Era bw'aba atandise okulumwa ebisa, famire ye etegezebwaako olwo maama oba mugandawe basobola okujja okumuyambako. Oluvanyuma lw'okuzaala, famire y'annakawere etegezebwa era ne bakola enteetateeka z'omukolo gwa Eritwa Omulhemba mu nnaku 7 ng'amze okusumulukuka.

Emikolo gya Eritwa omulhemba gibeeramu okufumbira nnakawere emmere gy'ayagala saako n'okumusiba akawuzi (Omulhemba) mu kiwato okutangira olubuto okugaziwa ennyo olw'okuzaala era n'emmere gy'alya ebeera eyambibwako akaguwa ako (Omulhemba) kubanga balina okukkiriza nti munda mu lubuto lwe muba mukoleddwamu ekituli olw'omwana abadde akuliramu. Emmere efumbiddwa yaweebwanga omusajja ne famire ye. Era famire y'omulenzi yalina okuzaayo emmere enkalu ( emmere embisi) ng'eyinza okuba amatooke, ennyama n'ebika by'emmere ebirala.

Omukyala bw'aba tannaba kukala okuva mu kuzaala, Nnakawere (Omubithi) yali takkirizibwa kwebaka ku bulili bwe obw'obufumbo kubanga yali talowoozebwa kubeera muyonjo ekimala n'okusobozesa Nnakawere okuwonera ddala okuva mu kuzaala n'okusomozebwa kweyafuna ng'akyali lubuto. N'olwekyo, y'ebakanga ku mufaliso ogwayalibwanga wansi weyasulanga n'omwana okumala ebbanga ly'assabiiti mukaaga (06).https://www.govisitkenya.com/bakonzo-people.html Olunaku Nnakawere lw'addayo ku buliri bwe, waliwo emikolo egikolebwa ku lunaku olw'omunaana ng'emikolo gya Eritwa Omulhemba  ku lunaku oluddako omwana yafulumizibwanga okulagibwa mu bazadde b'omwami abamuwa ebirabo omuli ssente ezitamanyikiddwa muwendo n'ebirabo ebirala eri Nnakawere ne Ssekawere. Olunaku omwana lw'asisinkana ne bajjajaabe lwa weebwa elinnya omukulu w'ekika ly'abasiimye. Omubithi addayo ewaabwe okujjaguza ne famire ye era aweebwa embuzi n'obuwung bwa muwogo era aweebwa abantu okumukwatirako ebintu ng'addayo ewaka. Bweyatuukanga mu bakadde be, ensimbi zasoka kuteekebwanga ku Nnakawere nga tebannaba kusitula mwana kumuwa mikisa era n'okukkiriza omwana. Abazadde abapya baddayo mu maka gaabwe era kino kikola ng'akabonero ak'omulwatu nti abagalana bagenda kuddamu emikolo egikolebwa abafumbo ku lunaku olwo lw'ennyini.

 Okuzaala abalongo 
Omukyala bweyazaala abalongo (abahasa) era aweebwa ekitiibwa kya Nnalongo (Nyabahasa). Nnalongo yalina okuddayo mu bakadde be okujaguza emikolo gya "Erithahya Olhuhasa" kubanga omukyala yeyaleetanga abalongo mu nyumba era ebirabo ebyali bilina okuleetebwa mu bibiri bibiri bilina kutwalibwa kw'olwo okukkiriza omwana mu famire, okubagatta abalongo kw'abo abali mu famire n'eli abazadde ba balongo. Mu buwangwa, amaliba g'ensolo (Eshangobi) gategekebwa ba Nnalongo ne Ssalongo okutuulako nga basitudde abalongo. Aba famire n'ab'oluganda bayimba enyimba ez'obuwangwa musanvu (07) era oyo yenna eyasalawo okuyimba yalina okuyimba enyimba zonna muzanvu okutuusa lw'eziggwayo. Olunaku oluddako abazadde b'abalongo baddayo ewaka n'embuzi okujaguza nate.

Wabeera nga yo omukolo omulala ogw'okutuuma abalongo amannya era omusajja ye yateekangamu ensimbi mu mikolo gyonna. Abalongo bwe bakaabanga ennyo oba okugaana okuyonka, olwo Ssalongo (Isebahasa) asuubirwa okuba nga yayenda era yali alina okwenyonyolako eri Nnalongo (Nyabahasa) ddi era waa. Oluvanyuma lw'okwetonda kwa Ssalongo eri Nnalongo, yasabanga abalongo okusonyiwa kitaabwe era balekeraawo okukaaba.

Nnalongo yalina okwebaka ne kizibwe wa bbawe kasita y'alangilira nti mwetegefu okuddayo ku bulili bwa bbawe ku mukolo ogumanyikiddwa nga Olhuhasa. Omukolo gwa Olhuhasa gwalina okulangilirwa ssalongo (Isebahasa) wa Nnalongo n'emikwano gye egimwetolodde okuva mu kaseera lwatandiika okuwona ne lw'awona okutuusa akasiisira ka Olhuhasa lwe kazimbibwa mu luggya lwa Ssalongo. Kyakilizibwanga nti abalongo bafa singa omukolo gwa Olhuhasa tegukoleddwa. Kizibwe w'omusajja omukulu yalondebwa naye singa alemererwa okukola emikolo gy'abafumbo ne nnakawere kizibwe omulala asobola okulonda.

Nga tebannafumba mmere eweebwa ba famire y'omusajja ku mikolo gy'abalongo, emmere y'abalongo yesooka okufumbibwa era bwekitakolebwa, emmere y'omukolo eyinza obujja ne bwebajifumba batya.Ne mu biseera by'okusiga, famire ezaalimu abalongo basookanga kusinga mmere en'afumbibwa eya balongo ebimera bisobole okubala.

Abazadde balina okugula ebintu ebifaanagana ng'abalongo bwe bakula. Bwe kitakolebwa, omulongo omu yalwalanga oba n'okubuuka (Akawulhuka).

Emikolo gyonna egy'abalongo gy'alina okutuukirizibwanga okutangira obuzibu obuyinza okutuuka ku baana mu dda. Mu mulembe ogukulakulanye, abazadde b'abalongo abasinga batwala abaana baabwe mu masinzizo okusabira abaana baabwe.

 Omukyala bw'atazaala 
Omukyala bwa tazaala, olwo yabeera afuuse omuntu atasaana mu kyalo era ye yanenyezebwanga olw'obutazalira musajja. Era kigambibwa nti omukyala yabeeranga alina eby'ensonyi byeyakola nga bye bimulondoola.

 Emikolo gy'okuziika 

 Omukazi bw'afa 
Yalina kuziikibwa eyo gyeyafumbirwa kubanga famire eyo yasasula Omukagha oguwasa omukazi era kitaawe oba omuntu yenna omukulu eyamukwasa omusajja yamuwanikanga ku mulabba. Ebirabo ebiwasa omukazi bwe biba tebinnatwalibwa omulambo gwe gwaddizibwayo owaabwe okuziikibwa. Wabula bw'afa ng'azadde abaama mu famire y'omusajja naye nga Omukagha tegunnatwalibwa oba nga famire y'omusajja yalemelerwa okusasula Omukagha olwo omusajja n'alyokka akkirizibwa okuziika mukyala ku biggya by'abajajjaabe.

Enkeera, olukiiko lutuuzibwa ku ani ananaaza omubiri gw'omugenzi n'okugwambaza, okuteeka mu sanduuke, n'okugiggala ng'omulambo gutereddwamu, Bweyabaga omuto, omubiri gwe gw'akwatibwanga Nyakolhome at bwe yabanga omukulu, omubiri gwe gwakwatibwanga Omuhwa wiwe n'oluvanyuma n'aziikibwa.

Olunaku oluddako, olukiiko ltuuzibwa wakati wa famire y'omugenzi ( nga mukaseera kano, ye famire y'omusajja gyeyafumbirwa) ne Famire y'omuwala n'abengaanda okuva ku njuyi zombi. Okusaba famire y'omukyala okufunira mutabani waabwe omukyala omulala okulera abaana omugenzi balese.

 Omusajja bw'afa 
Omusajja bwe yafanga, Nnamwandu (Omukwakali)  yesiba ekiwero ku mutwe (Mbutha) era bagyamu engato ne batambuza bigere okulaga ennaku, okunyolwa, n'ekitiibwa eri omugenzi. Nnamwandu teyakkirizibwanga kunaaba okumala ennaku musanvu (07) ne bamulekwa (Eshangubi) nabo tebakkirizibwa kunaaba okumala ennaku ssatu (03). Ekigeererwa mu butanaaba n'okutambuza ebigere omugenzi (Olhuholo) ayinza okubatya olw'obukyafu. Oluvannyuma lw'ennaku ssatu, Bamulekwa batwalibwa ku mugga mu budde bw'okumakya era nga bwe badda ewaka batuula ku mukeeka nga kuno kwebabasalirako enviiri nga bakozesa eggirita butalekaako nviri yadda. Okulaga akakwate eri omugenzi.

Nnamwandu yasabibwa okwambula akawelo ke ak'omunda n'akasiba ku kitooke n'alamiriza nti omugenzi abadde omwami bwa yandyagadde okumusisinkana, aba agya kumusisinkana ku kitoooke ekyo kw'aganzise akawale ke. Wabula eby'obuwangwa ebyo tebikyagobererwa mu Bakonzo. Kyakirizibwanga nti omugenzi bwe yalabikiranga mukyalawe, kabeera nga kabonero ka kisiraani.

Enkeera, olukiiko lutuuzibwa ku ani ananaaza omubiri gw'omugenzi n'okugwambaza, okuteeka mu sanduuke, n'okugiggala ng'omulambo gutereddwamu, Bweyabaga omuto, omubiri gwe gw'akwatibwanga Nyakolhome at bwe yabanga omukulu, omubiri gwe gwakwatibwanga Omuhwa wiwe n'oluvanyuma n'aziikibwa.

Olukiiko lw'ekika lw'atuuzibwanga okukola ku nsonga z'okugabanya eby'obugagga by'omugenzi, Omusika, omukuza wa famire ( abeera muganda w'omugenzi) naye yakkirizibwa okweyongerayo n'okuzaala abaana. Wabula ku mulembe guno, ba nnamwandu bakkirizibwa okugenda okufumbirwa omusajja omulala oba okusigala okukuza abaana b'omugenzi mu famire ya bba.

 Emikolo egy'okwambulula ekika 
Guno omukolo gukolebwa oluvanyuma lw'emyaka 3 ku 5 era nga gwakulemberwamu omukulu w'ekika. Omukulu w'ekika eyalina okubeera n'eddiga bbir, embuzi bbiri nga ziteegekeddwa okukozesebwa ku mukolo, abantu b'ekika abalala abaayitibwa okwegatta mu kusinza era n'abo basabibwa okusitula ebinasaddakibwa okusinziira ku busobozi. Ebisolo ebisaddakibwa mulimu embuzi, endiga, n'enkoko.

Ku lunaku olukkiriziganyizidwako, abantu b'ekika bakugaananga ne bennenya eby'onoono by'abwe nga bwe basadaaka n'ebisolo. Omusaayi okuva mu bisolo ebisaliddwa gwakungaanyizibwanga ne gugattibwa mu musaayi gw'ekimu oba ebisolo bibiri ebitegekeddwa omukulu w'ekika. Abantu b'ekika bonna balina okulinya mu musaayi ogutabikiddwa okwambulurwa n'okuzza obumukwano n'obumu mu kika.

Ekisolo eky'okubiri ekyali kitegekeddwa omukulu w'ekika tekyasalibwanga naye kya'atwalibwanga mu nsozi okufa ku kyokka oba okuttibwa ensolo endala enkambwe. Kyalina okutwala eby'onoono okubigya n'ebisiraani mu kika.

Emikolo gino gy'akomekerezebwanga n'okulya emmere n'okwera oluggya awabadde emikolo n'enguudo z'onna n'abukubo obuyingira ekyalo. Okwera kaali kabonero akalaga nti ekibi, n'ebisiraani ku kyalo byeleddwa okuva  mu kyalo.
