When her mother began experiencing joint pain and swelling, Nakibuuka worked alone. In 1991, while carrying out her regular trade, Nakibuuka encountered preachers who convinced her to "entrust all her burdens to Jesus Christ the savior".

Evidence profile

Critical limits

Public reputation and documentary evidence do not always develop together; absence from a summary is not evidence of historical absence. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
