Papoga is one of the royal clans in Alur Kingdom.This clan came to be known so after the death of their anchestor Nam,the brother of Ucweda and Aganja.All were the blood children of Ubimo Songa of Alur(Luo). Songa was the brother to Uruka who founded the Pakic people of Ukuru.Ubimo Songa also gave a small seat for Uruka of Pakic when he comes to Kaal Atyak WiNam. Nam was meant to inherit the throne of his father Songa.Nam travelled from Atyak WiNam near Yothu to collect a cow called ''Amvulelu) from his Maternal uncles in Juganda near Luma in Democratic republic of Congo.Unfortunately on his way back to Atyak WiNam Yothu,when he was still in Democratic republic of Congo,Nam died and was buried there.Later his people,Papoga or Kway Nam led by his three children Kenu(Papaoga Azii,Jagero Nam(Papoga Zale) and Nam II(Papoga Ajere. Rwoth Aganja,the dughter of Ubimo Songa remained at Yothu,Atyak.

His father,King Songa of Alur was so touched by the news about his would be King Nam and emotionally commented thatmy son Nam whom i wanted to inherit my throne has died,who will now inherit my throne?,may be my Daughter Aganja will. Immediately after Ubimo Songa comment the people who were present at that time started to call Aganja Rwoth Aganja.However being a lady,Aganja could not inherit the throne of her father, and so Ucweda was made King after Songa.Songa was burried at His palace in Atyak-WiNam.

Ucweda then had to get blessing(Lau,the skin) from  the Children of Nam.Ucweda sent his messenger to bestow the Lau-skin' of Papoga on Kenu in Papoga Azii but the messengers slept hungry and the messengers were told to go to Jagero Nam at Papoga Zale and they did and got the Lau=blessing of Songa and Nam(Late)and brought it and bestowed it on Ubimo Ucweda at Kaal Atyak WiNam.Then,the throne of Papoga was bestowed on Jagero Nam of Papoga Zale.Jagero Nam had three children: Kwopangira,Udupacu and Monge.All living in Papoga Zale/Atyenda(NyaSonga).
