ACHOLI LEGEND: Another legend asserts that Luo was the first man. He had no human parents. He is said to have sprung from the ground. It is taken that his father was Jok (God) and that his mother was Earth. The legend adds that Luo’s son Jipiti, whose mother is unknown, had a daughter called Kilak. Kilak is believed to have conceived a son, Lubongo, whose father was said to be the devil, Lubanga. Lubongo was the first in the line of Rwot – the chiefs of Payera, the dominant Acholi clan.

ACHOLI NAME: The word 'Acholi' is a misnomer that became adopted for convenience over the years. It refers to people known locally as Luo Gang. That is why the Lango neighbours refer to the Acholi as Ugangi, meaning people of the home

WON PINY: The authority of Rwodi came primarily from the conceptualisation of his role as the won piny (father of land). His ritual duty of rainmaking together with the provision of food and security, made possible through the paying of tributes, ensured his authority and attracted other kaka to commit allegiance. The paying of tribute symbolised one’s
recognition of a Rwot and was paid in kind or in service, with a primary purpose being to redistribute the tribute and forge social and political relationships. Certain lobong kaka heads paid tribute to the Rwot through forms of personal service such as anointing the Rwot at his installation ceremony, maintaining the ancestral shrine or providing beer at sacrificial rituals. These practices incorporated the lobong kaka heads into the ancestor ceremonies of the Rwot and thus strengthened their ties to the chiefdom. An
early anthropologist researching in Acholiland in the late 1940s early 1950s, Frank Girling, wrote that some of his informants who wanted to claim that their clan had been
independent did so by saying “Pe wa tyero tyer bot ngadi”, “we did not take tribute to anyone”. Royal regalia were also important symbols of Rwodi authority, particularly the bul ker (royal drum), where it has even been said that ‘chiefdoms and royal drums became so linked in Acholi that it became virtually impossible for people there to conceive of one without the other’. Two early colonial officials, Frank Bere, an administrator, and Captain Ernest Grove, saw that other regalia such as the spear, shield, ‘other valuables and heirlooms from the past’ played central roles in Rwodi
succession ceremonies, whilst Grove wrote how the ton ker (hereditary spear) seemed to embody the power of the Rwot, particularly as it was used in oath making.

RUBANGA: http://people.ucalgary.ca/~nurelweb/papers/fred/highgod.html

There is a story, told by the Roman Catholic missionary scholar Crazzolara, of how the first missionaries tried to discover which of the many spirits (jok, plur. jogi) of the Acholi was regarded as creator. Unfortunately, the Acholi have no myth of creation ; and the question, 'Which jok
created you? ' was meaningless. Ultimately they tired of it and answered, 'Rubanga'. This therefore became the official vernacular name for Yahweh. It is simply unfortunate that, in his native country of Bunyoro, Rubanga is a spirit responsible for the birth of twins. When he crosses the border into Acholi, he takes over hunchbacks and tuberculosis of the spine.

Lango (also called Leb-Lango,) is not exclusively a Luo language although past linguists have wrongly grouped it under Luo languages. It is rather a mixture of Ateker languages and Luo languages spoken by the Lango people of Uganda. The word "Lango" is used to describe both the language spoken by the indigenous and the tribe itself
