{UAH} Wang-Lei, the place where Gipir, Labongo parted ways

River Nile, on which banks Wang-Lei is located. The area is where Nyipir and Nyabonogo parted ways.PHOTO BY DEAR JEANNE.

He took back the spear and handed it to his brother.
Nyipir, being a beads maker, continued living normally until one day he had errands to do and he left the youngest son of Labongo in his house.

When Nyipir returned, he found one of his beads missing and after investigating it was concluded that Labongo's son had swallowed it.

Nyipir immediately went to Labongo and ordered that his bead be recovered immediately. Labongo begged his brother that he be given time for the child to eat and pass the bead out while defecating.

Nyipir kept insisting and even though the child went to the toilet, the bead was not seen and it was after resolved that since Nyipir had to recover the spear when the elephant ran with it, his bead should also be recovered.
Labongo's youngest son was thus cut through the stomach and the bead removed. The two agreed that they could no longer live together and through the mediation of a Jonam chief Uvungu, they were separated at Wang-Lei and an axe thrown in the river to signify the separation.

Nyipir and his family were ordered to move to the Western part while Labongo and his family moved to the eastern.
Nyipir became the grandfather of the Alur of Nebbi and the DR Congo and was buried at Lajudong in Nebbi, while Labongo became the grandfather of the Acholi and the Luo and was buried in Nwoya District.
