Lake "Victoria" must be given back its original name 😂

@hawkingdawking4572 9 ай бұрын

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

@DieFlabbergast 8 ай бұрын

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.

Ĺake Victoria is the primary source of the Nile River. However, the source of lake Victoria is mainly Kenyan Rivers. Kenyan Rivers contribute about 90% of the waters of lake Victoria. However, kenya has the smallest share of the lake. The rivers that feed Lake Victoria from Kenya are: River Nzoia River Yala River Sondu River Mara River Nyando River Migori River Gucha River Kuja River Miriu River Kibos River Sio River Nyamwamba

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

Jinja in Uganda is the sourcer of the Nile. If the all the rivers which pour into lake Victoria dry up, the Nile will still exist. Or else those other rivers which pour into Lake Victoria shoule be part of the Nile, but they are not called the Nile.

@kariyobaker9617 Жыл бұрын

The source of the river Nile is located here in Uganda. The ancient Egyptians believed that the river Nile flowed from heaven because its flow never dried up. Sometimes it flooded beyond its banks like it still does today but it never dried out. Thus Uganda is the HEAVEN the ancient Egyptians believed it to be.

The blue Nile itself is tributed by Abbay river which originates from sekela, Gojam, Tekeze river and Baro Akobo river!!!

@derrickug256 11 ай бұрын

@@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

Water from Lake Victoria and Water from Lake Tana of Ethiopia were the source of River Nile. What is the difference or the confusing part of this theory? The two lakes met in Sudan and flow fluently down to Egypt. 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.
