Is Uganda the actual source of the Nile? | Documentary 

Different tribes had different names for the same lake. So the name Victoria was put by Spike.

Which name would THAT be? The lake is bordered by numerous different ethnic groups, each of which has its own name for the lake. It's the same with many geographical features, such as Mt. Everest. Use the Indian name and that will offend the Tibetans, and vice versa. Best to leave it as it is: everyone knows what you mean.

👌 👍 Exemplary 🇺🇬

Call it by any of the tribes' given names but NEVER Victoria.

It should have a tribal name and not a white colonizer name

Why bring your religion into this. No one cares about it.

🤣lol

​​@@soysumit Get lost cow worshipper indian 😅

Favored with what?

Prophet Mohammed was a fake Prophet!

We're talking about the source of the longest river and not the source of the blue Nile. It doesn't matter that the largest volume is by Blue Nile bc none of that is in Uganda. Lake Victoria provides all the volume for the white Nike and this makes it the longest bc it comes from lake Victoria.

There were several names of several tribes. That's why the name Victoria was used.

Its called Nyanza..

@@hawkingdawking4572 it's was called Nyanza

@@MwiituMuseo So were other names by other tribes.

Thanks for being appreciative

Same, just visited The Source Of R. Nile 2 weeks ago.

Ethiopians always mad in the comments talking about the blue Nile as if that makes it the longest river lmao 😂. If the blue Nile is the source, then the Nike isn't top 10 longest itw.

There were several names. Thus Spike named it Victoria.

Well said

Coz no one knew the whole river. Interior Africa was undeveloped.

​@@hawkingdawking4572I hope you aren't as dumb as your comment

​@@hawkingdawking4572you mean like the natives didn't know the grand canyon the very place they were living?😂

I believe this is right as a Ugandan because of the raised rift valley from central Kenya downhill flows of rivers determine but it's not 90%. Most of the waters flow from Tanganyika, Rwanda, through kagera river, some tributaries in central tz as well we can't despite rivers that flow under the surface of earth

You have forgotten abig river called kajera. from rwanda it flows in Victoria

you a wrong here plz google very well then you will find that lake victoria waters the biggest part is contributed by the natural rain

😂😂😂😂😂,Rwanda,Burundi,Ethiopia and now kenya are claiming the source of R.Nile. Mweyagaliza😂😂😂

The White Nile is only 10 percent of the stream flow of the Nile. Ĺake Victoria is NOT the primary source of the Nile River. 90 percent comes from another system. Do not get carried away.

The Ethiopians need to hear your statement. They keep talking about providing the larger volume as if the White Nile depends on them lol. The white Nile would still reach the Mediterranean sea if the 2 tributaries didn't meet and this would make the White Nile the longest river itw. So, this is another stupid claim. They're 2 different rivers that just happen to meet. One makes it the longest itw and the other enhances it's volume. Point closed.

Total lies. Basoga call it Kiira. Nile is a latin word meaning valley. You also know that before Speke, the Nile was known as the Nile in the days of the Pharoahs.

source of the white nile(20%) is in Uganda, source of blue nile(80%) is in Ethiopia

That's your patriotism for your country talking not the facts.

​@@prorealm766my friend both blue and white nile flow and separate few miles from lake Victoria

@@omwangegriffins7000 my friend, don't be stupid, the blue nile starts from lake tana in Ethiopia and joins the white nile in khartoum to form nile proper

shorty vs the mighty white nile lol@@prorealm766

😂😂😂

Why

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 nice joke. What would stop it? It made it'd way all the way from Southern Uganda to Central Sudan without a decrease in volume.

Indeed! Also we are to drop that victoria name

But they didn't know about the the whole river.

@@hawkingdawking4572 that's stupid🤣🤣🤣

@@dantethewonderkid2731 But why? No one till 19th century knew about the origin of the Nile. Isn't that the case?

​@@dantethewonderkid2731don't entertain that dummy (@dawking) he's missing a brain

Lake Victoria in Jinja, Uganda. Stop making up shit. Your small rivers flow into Lake Victoria, it doesn't make them the source. Lake Victoria is the largest Lake in Africa and 2nd in the world, how are you making such nonsensical claims? Do you consider the source of a river beyond an ocean if there's another river that flows into it on the other side? Stupid logic.

plz yo geography is totally wrong what is this you mean here ("Lake Tana flows through numerous countries before meeting with Lake Victoria in Sudan and down to Egypt that is why Lake Tana is considered to contribute more water to river Nile than Lake Victoria.")

The lakes do not flow. They stay put. Rivers from the lakes flow.

And which one makes it the longest river in the world? 😂

😂😂😂😂close it and see if r. Nile will dry up

@@sagan5051 it never dry b/c 15% of water is still there.

Agree with you it is in 🇧🇮✔️

Between Burundi and Rwanda( Nyungwe Forest)

Visit Uganda 🇺🇬 the pearl of Africa and learn

Yo, is this water from a volcano? Educate me dawg

Sources please...

L.Nalubaale is the true source of R.Nile science proves it and history confirmed it.

The Nile source is in BURUNDI place they call Bururi Rutovu

I mean the white Nile

Another river that flows northward I believe is Turkwel River in Kenya which drains to L. Turkana

the source of Nile starts river kajera in Rwanda and then it flows in lake Victoria and then from it flows to the north

​​@@kiiza2886 I think you're drunk.first of all lake Victoria which is the source of river nile is not bordering Rwanda. Again there's no river nile in Rwanda. The nile starts from lake Victoria on the side of Uganda. Lake Victoria is shared by three countries i.e. Uganda,Kenya Tanzania. Lake Victoria is fed by numerous rivers from the East African countries hence it's the source of river nile which begins from Uganda side at a place called Jinja. I repeat lake Victoria is shared by three countries i.e. Uganda Kenya and Tanzania with Uganda and Tanzania sharing a big part.so where does Rwanda comes in.Is there a river in Rwanda called Nile. There many rivers in East Africa which flow in to lake Victoria so if think kajera fills the lake then you're lying. Mainly Rivers are from Kenya Uganda and Tanzania. Maybe kajera is one of them .But Uganda Kenya and Tanzania each have a reasonable number of rivers which feed lake Victoria

@@derrickug256 stop following whites mans books and put in some common sense. sames you haven't even traveled through the whole of east africa rather you just discussing here on internet

@@derrickug256 You are right about your narratives. Kenya alone has 13 or more rivers that flows into Lake Victoria but has never claimed to be the source of Lake Victoria or the river Nile. How can one river from Rwanda or Burundi claimed to be the source of these great lakes and rivers? Kajera River flows from Burundi before passing through Rwanda and terminated in Lake Victoria on the Uganda side. It was that Kajera River that brought a lot of dead decomposed bodies to Lake Victoria during Rwanda genocide war of 1994.

@@charlesking7331Maybe they also want to be recognized. First of all lake Victoria is about 3 times bigger than Rwanda

was looking for this comment, felt a bit annoyed

Is that your own geographical study research or it is written somewhere.But i think should go back and study geography well again

is that why they're not name niles?

The true source is from River kagera

​@@wepukhulufrank6263 Kagera river is fed by Ruvubu, then Ruvyironza river which ends in BURUNDI in Rutovu area and there is a pyramid there as a symbol of the most southern south of the Nile river

So if those rivers dry up, will the Nile dry? Will lake victoria dry up. Lake victoria also gets water from rain.

😂😂😂😂😂, so you are saying that it flows from the southern hemisphere to the northern hemisphere, what kind of weed do they smoke down there in Burundi.

@@JO_Artificial the narrator mentioned that the river passes through Burundi. how can you explain that? what does it go to do in BURUNDI from Uganda? And explain to me where is Egypt located compared to Uganda. isn't it located in the northern hemisphere?

@@bizimungudivin2836 Did he really say the Nile passes through Burundi, going where, to South Africa? Unbelievable.

@Nsubuga Patrick so you are denying the fact that it passes through Burundi? See this @00:17 And say something about it. Thanks

@@bizimungudivin2836 I've heard no mention of Burundi boss, the river starts from lake Victoria and flows northwards, how the hell does it turn around to Burundi in the south, I'm flabbergasted, don't believe in these RU-vid that can't make visual artistic impressions, they rather use those that are already existing on the internet. Anyways let me tell it to you straight, rivers don't cross the equator, they either flow north or south of it and that's why the Nile can't flow from Jinja in uganda down to Burundi then back to the north, it's impossible, the man in the video clearly says that the Nile starts in Jinja Uganda, please tell you geography teacher to stop lying to you.

So does lake victoria only get water from the rivers or from the rain too?

Quit getting butt hurt about colonialism you would be living in a hut in a jungle or be insulated by arabs without colonialism so enjoy commenting on this video and remember they are the only reas you aren’t a poor starving person rn

Uganda is lower egypt…..

You do!
