The ojeda are a tribe of the Luhya people of Kenya. They mainly occupy Butere-Mumias and Kakamega Districts, two of the 8 districts of Kenya's Western Province.
The Wanga ancestors were part of the migration that settled in the Kampala area and formed the Buganda Kingdom. In their culture, a king's brother or cousin from the paternal line is eligible for succession to the throne and thus poses a threat to the reigning monarch. Accordingly, a Baganda omulangira (prince) called Kaminyi, a son of Ssekabaka Mawanda and cousin of Ssekabaka Mwanga I, fled to the Tiriki area in the current Western Province area. There he became a ruler and was succeeded by his son Wanga, who took the title Nabongo and established the Wanga Kingdom in the 18th Century.
The Wanga Kingdom was the most powerful centralised kingdom in Kenya's entire history before the advent of British colonialism in the early 1900s.
Today the Wanga number around 0.6 million and retain the Nabongo as their cultural monarch. The current Nabongo is Peter Mumia II
