I don't do it for you. I don't do it to you. I do it with you," says Nalubaale, the Baganda goddess of sex.
I have been thinking about a movie where British colonialists believe that in order to conquer the people of the lake that births the Nile, they must make Nalubaale barren.
Essentially, the entire film would center around the Nile perch(Emputta).
The Nile perch was deliberately introduced into Lake Victoria by officials from the Uganda Game and Fisheries Department (UGFD) under the direction of the British colonial administration.
Because local fisheries scientists strongly opposed the idea out of fear that it would ruin the ecosystem, the first introductions in 1954 and 1955 were carried out secretly. Colonial officials initially denied involvement, jokingly suggesting that the fish must have somehow swum through the Owen Falls Dam during maintenance. However, local African workers employed by the department later confirmed they had been ordered by senior officials to dump the fish into the lake.
Once the species was established in the ecosystem, the colonial government and subsequent independent governments—including figures like Uganda's then-Agriculture Minister John Babiiha—officially expanded the stocking program throughout the early 1960s to scale up the commercial fishing industry.
Anyway, Nalubaale claims that Kabaka Mukasa had partnered with Kiwanuka and Musoke to intentionally break the rock at what we now call Murchison Falls to prevent Mputa from making it to Nalubaale in order to protect Mukasa's children most vulnerable to Mputta's greed.
