Understanding Kulanya

The traditional self-introduction that connects you to your ancestral heritage

What is Kulanya?

Kulanya is the traditional method of introducing oneself within the Kkobe Clan. It establishes your direct connection to the clan leadership by tracing your paternal lineage back to the founding ancestor, Nnamwama Nsereko.

Important Guidelines

Always introduce your grandfathers in their order of birth - son to father, not their cousins. Ask for assistance to avoid guessing, as this will mislead your offspring and other concerned persons.
