== Creation Myth == [[Lugbara people|Lugbara]] believe that they are all of one blood, ''ari alo'', and that blood was created by God, ''Adronga 'ba o'bapiri''.<ref name=":0">{{Cite journal |last=Middleton |first=John |date=1954 |title=Some Social Aspects of the Lugbara Myth |url=http://www.jstor.com/stable/1156423 |journal=Journal of the International African Institute |volume=24 |issue=3 |pages=189β199 |doi=10.2307/1156423 |jstor=1156423 }}</ref> Whilst there are many different versions of the Lugbara creation myth, most agree that God created the first beings Gborgboro and Meme at Loloi to the North in [[South Sudan]].<ref name=":0" /> Gborgboro and Meme had two children together, Arube and O'du. The siblings and subsequent siblings had children together for several generations. The last pair of siblings were the parents of the hero-ancestor Jaki. Other versions of the creation myth explain the separation of God and mankind in the sky, the separation of black and white people, the building of a [[tower of Babel]]. Furthermore, they explain the appearance of the Lugbara and [[Kakwa people|Kakwa]] peoples as well as the various tribes and languages of the world. Some versions also explain the creation of the world as it is today.
