LUO TOORO ROYAL BURIAL: THE 9 COFFEE BEANS & THE LEOPARD SKIN FROM ACHOLI

This is Omusuuga Charles Akiiki Kayondo Kamurasi receiving the royal burial artefacts 9 coffe beans and the Leopard skin from Ker Kwaro Acholi PM Martin Okumu and elders.

A Tooro King is NEVER buried empty-handed. He must be returned to his Luo ancestors with:
1. Emmwanyi 9 (9 coffee beans) symbol of life, blood and royalty. Each bean is a prayer for the journey.

2. Eddiba lye Ngo (Leopard skin) the true bed of Mubiito king. Omukama sleeps in a leopard, even in death.

Without these from Acholi and Bunyoro, there is NO burial. That's why when Omukama Patrick Olimi Kaboyo II died in 1995, his burial at Karambi was delayed for DAYS until the Acholi delegation that had delayed on the way to Tooro arrived from Gulu.

Now history repeats for his son, King Oyo Nyimba Rukidi IV. Acholi has come home with the Leopard skin and 9 coffee beans for cultural rituals used for burying Omukama.

We are Luo-Bito. One blood. One throne.

Why the delay in burying Kaboyo?
Why now for Oyo?
Because a Tooro King must be wrapped in the leopard skin and buried with 9 sacred coffee beans brought by his brothers from Acholi.
Omusuuga is received them from Ker Kwaro Acholi. Without them, the king cannot sleep. 🐆

The Bunyoro Kitara and Tooro Kings must select a throne name from the Luo that’s why you hear kings like Olimi, Oyo, Labongo, Chwa, Okwiri, Nyaika, Winyi, Nyimba, Kaboyo, Ocaaki, Rukidi, Cwamali, Duhaga.
