Minakulu
Minakulu is one of the sub-counties forming Oyam District in Northern Uganda. It is located west of Oyam town and south of Gulu town, about 20 kilometres from Oyam district headquarters and 32 kilometres from Gulu district headquarters.
The name originates from ''min'', meaning "mother," and ''kulu'', meaning "well, river, or source of water." It is derived from a small tributary of the Nile which local tales say had devastating effects on people's lives and property, due to huge floods during rainy seasons destroying crops, and killing people and animals. The havoc that this tributary caused to the people of the area made them perceive it as the mother of all rivers, and gave their locality the name ''Minakulu'', or "mother of all rivers."
==History==
During colonist times, Minakulu was on its way to becoming a business centre as several businesses were established by Indian men doing retail trade. However, the colonial government in the 1930s passed an ordinance barring foreigners from carrying out retail trade in fear of complete alienation of the indigenous population and thereby causing a possible uprising. Being far from the colonial administrative centre, the Indians continued the trade only to "run away" following the famous Amin's dream and decree sending away Indians for "milking the cow without feeding."
