      Happy Good Friday. At some point today, Jesus Christ will be killed and rise from the dead on Sunday to make eternal life possible. On the cross, sin intersected with holiness. For now, we care less as a promise was kept 3 days later (Mark 16:9). Do you ever imagine what this world would be like if Jesus Christ had not kept his word to rise from the dead 3 days later as promised?

      Fast forward, 2017 years later, our own ‘jesus’ emerged from the bushes of Luwero to carry the cross in the form of a problematic Uganda. Ugandans were all convinced by the 1986 liberators and the support to the cause of a new Uganda was steady, unwavering and resolute. Loads of promises were made to the ever and always patient, gullible Ugandans. But as we have come to realise, Pierce Brown summed it up his Golden Son, that “Liars make the best promises.” We are glad the Son of God kept his word, the more reason we have to celebrate Easter Sunday.

      “I know it is a bad thing to break a promise, but I think now that it is a worse thing to let a promise break you.” ― Jennifer Donnelly, A Northern Light

      “Sometimes people don’t understand the promises they’re making when they make them,” I said. Isaac shot me a look. “Right, of course. But you keep the promise anyway. That’s what love is. Love is keeping the promise anyway. Don’t you believe in true love?” ― John Green, The Fault in Our Stars

      “In the first place, you shouldn’t believe in promises. The world is full of them: the promises of riches, of eternal salvation, of infinite love. Some people think they can promise anything, others accept whatever seems to guarantee better days ahead, as, I suspect is your case. Those who make promises they don’t keep end up powerless and frustrated, and exactly the fate awaits those who believe promises.” ― Paulo Coelho, The Devil and Miss Prym

      One of the University lecturers wrote an expressive message to his students at the doctorate, masters and bachelors level and placed it at the college entrance in the university in south Africa.
      And this is the message;

      *”Collapsing any Nation does not require use of Atomic bombs or the use of Long range missiles. But it requires lowering the quality of Education and allowing cheating in the exams by the students”.*

      The patient dies in the hands of the doctor who passed his exams through cheating.

      And the buildings collapse in the hands of an engineer who passed his exams through cheating.

      And the money is lost in the hands of an accountant who passed his exams through cheating.

      And humanity dies in the hands of a religious scholar who passed his exams through cheating.

      And justice is lost in the hands of a judge who passed his exams through cheating.

      And ignorance is rampant in the minds of children who are under the care of a teacher who passed exams through cheating.

      *”The collapse of education is the collapse of the Nation”*

      Uganda Banks are closing business daily as majority low income earners/lower class citizens choose to save their money on phone.

      In a reckless and panic effort to save these collapsing banks, the Uganda communications commission has given a 7 day ultimatum to block all sim cards that would not be registered within that short period.
      As we speak now, over 500bilion has been withdrawn from mobile accounts just two days after the ultimatum.

      Millions of low income earners consider banks to be a cheating tool for the rich owners because of their costly charges. Mobile money has been much favorable.

      The majority lower class citizens/low income earners will prefer hiding their money and their beds over saving in ‘cheating’ banks!

      Implications

      -Over 20milion sim cards will be blocked and Telecom companies will close business!
      -90% low income earners will resort to their old culture of hiding money at home. Banks will continue to close business!

      Where’s the essence?

      How DOES FDC AND BESIGYE SAY THEY WANT TO CHALLENGE MUSEVENI WHEN IN MOROTO A DISTRICT WOMAN MP COMES UNOPPOSED. NOT EVEN A SINGLE OPPOSITION CANDIDATE TO PUT UP A CONTEST. HE JUST PLAYS DIKULA POLITICS FOR TELEVISION.

      I am appealing to all Ugandans to pay attention to the plight of our sisters and daughters who are languishing in unknown detention centres in different middle east countries.According to this audio,these girls were taken from Uganda with a promise of lucrative jobs but what they got,and are still going through is a HORROR!! I have have been requested to play my part and so I will. I am also asking all of you friends to pass on this message to anyone that may be of help. I am soon to approach the concerned offices to see how quick these vulnerable Ugandan girls can be rescued.

      Where are the Girls Stella Bought Pads for? Their Parents, Teachers, Pastors, Priests, Church Members, MPs, Communities?
      Is that it Now? We Put Our Lives on the Line for you and you don’t care about us???
      Why should We Die For You as Patriots???
      You are waiting to Honor us in our Death!!!!
      Honor me Now or Never Bury me when I die!!!

      Mengo must come out officially and explain what led to the catarpillar grading of Bobi Wine’s Busabala one Love Beach driveway. If this is not just out of envy, why would a person of sound mind come and destroy a drive way which serves both the proprietor and his neighbourhood? I know land is valuable but Bobi Wine’s contribution to Buganda is worth that small piece of land(if at all he didnt buy it). When we read history, we see Sekabakas giving away chunks and chunks of land to loyal servants in appreciation of their services to the kingdom. People like Nsibambi, Ham Mukasa, Nagenda, Appollo Kaggwa, Nelson Edmond Nkalubo Sebugwawo, Walusimbi Mpanga, Mulira, Kulubya, Stanislaus Mugwanya, Kisosonkole etc all benefited from their loyalty to the kingdom. Dont tell me land was worthless then, land has always had value. Now when i see Bobi Wine’s drive way destroyed just because of non payment or anything else(whatever the reason), my heart sinks. The Katikkiro himself paid a courtesy visit and planted a tree in the same place, that was a sign of closeness to the Kingdom, why was it difficult for the land board to involve him to come to an amicable solution. We must stop running to people when we want to use them and shun away when they are caught at the wrong hand of the law. Bobi Wine’s issue could have been avoided through mutual understanding. You must look at the followers a person has before engaging him and weigh your actions in reference to the possible results arising from your action. Bobi is very insipirational to ghetto youths; a very hard working youngman whom Mengo should use as a role model in their campaign towards empowering youths to work.
      Actually,the land in question doesnt have any parmanent structure but a beautified drive way for Godsake, why would you be mean to that extent?

      My question is; If we go by our previous Sekabaka’s way of appreciation, Is Bobi Wine’s contribution to Buganda not worth ½ an acre of land? If yes, why this?

      I am Martha Angella Nabatanzi , 21 years old from Uganda residing in Mukono district. This is a story i want to share with multitudes of people all over the world who know ex.minister hon. Abraham Byandala James who is becoming rebellious and Hon. Byandala is abandoning his own child and only focusing on popularity in his political Arena as a member of Parliament of katikamu North Luweero district. HON Byandala is, he managed to balloon me but forgot & denied that he has rsponsiblity to carry on as a man.

      The child is now 4 months old son  but he has refused to lease a coin in taking care of the child though he managed to do the job well with his iron to balloon me. So now the responsibility is none of his business.
      Byandala infected me with HIV/AIDs. His making my life hard yet am still a young girl.He has never given me anything Byandala who resides in Nyonyi gardens Kololo.But when it comes to his own son , he doesn’t to know.


      He told me that he would kill me because his a friend to the President as the president wants criminals like Byandala .
      The baby is in a critical condition , very sick . He has serious wounds on his body and also respiratory problems. But Byandala doesn’t know the son though he managed to use his iron, have fun and balloon me.
      I have been surviving on friends who giving help but they are also tired of me.
      Byandala has threatened me many times that he would assassinate me. He has said that many times . He even said to stop ringing on his phone.
      Everyone who knows ex.minister hon. Abraham Byandala James,MP. Katikamu North Luweero district , engineer by profession , owner of Zaddock Associates should tell him a billion times to come help his own son from
      Martha that his in a bad condition .I fear him because he has promised me many times that he would kill me.

      in reply to: Yoweri Museveni is addicted to Killing #27236


      On 26th match 2017 during a fundraising at Ntuntu archdeaconry, Kamwenge District Chairman Aggrey Natuhamya in his speech to Hon Minister of local government hon Tom Butime who was representing President Museveni, Aggrey asked Museveni to stand in 2021 for President.
      According to the constitution of Uganda, Museveni can not contest for President in 2021 because he will have gone beyond 75 years of age.
      So, Mr Aggrey Natuhamya asking Museveni to contest beyond the age is an attempt to over throw the constitution of Uganda which is ridiculous, sacrilegious and treasonable.
      Iam appealing to lawyers and other peace loving Uganda to contact me so that we take this savage to court over his message.

      in reply to: The problem of Uganda political class #27235

      My pursuit for fairness cost me my position at Uganda Christian University. Dismissal at the end of my second year left a bitter taste of injustice in my mouth.

      Before my expulsion from University, I was an academic beneficiary of the kind fruits the societal tree of charity bore. After mother broke up with father, she took me and my siblings to her mother in Mpigi where we enrolled into UPE. Two years later, I came to Kampala where mother had returned. Lack of space in her single rented room meant I couldn’t live with her. I enrolled in a school the area Councillor had started to provide free education.

      Before long, costs of running the school forced the poor woman into requesting parents for contribution. We were too poor to afford.

      An aunt who vended charcoal took me to another school. I was demoted to Primary 2 from primary 5 as a prerequisite to securing a scholarship. Every evening, I endured chants from pupils who lined the school fence chanting.
      ‘An old man in P.2, an Old Man in P2.’
      I was never deterred. I was keen on catching up. I negotiated with my former school so that they could allow my sister study under a scholarship I had benefited from. She was allowed to study. It was cheaper than affording another school.

      ‎ When I joined secondary, I sold peanut butter (odii/kipoli) packed in polythene bags within school; in the school holidays breaks, I served as a porter at building sites in a bid to raise income. I braved through.

      I watched the pine trees I had laboriously planted get destroyed by malicious relations. The organization which sponsored my education has always been kind to me.

      When I walked to Seroma High school seeking admission into A’level, the deputy head teacher asked to see the ‘student.’ She was surprised to learn I wasn’t a parent but rather ‘the student.’‎

      I enrolled at the Law school of Uganda Christian University. I’ve always appreciated the fact that our world is strongly secularised. I voiced my concerns over the unwritten rule that only an Anglican could be a Guild President at Uganda Christian University. I was disturbed by the University’s failure to unify. I’ve always respected the faiths of others, despite being a Muslim. I refuse to judge one by who/ what they believe in, having once been adopted by a Christian family in Mbale for a good period of time. The organization which catered for my education operates in the confines of the Christian faith.

      To sideline one’s leadership abilities basing on this particular rule wasn’t fair. When a student died inside a hostel affiliated to the University 30 minutes after an accident. I was chastised for branding the University Clinic a lazy dog. I personally felt life had been lost in a manner I considered unfortunate. That hadn’t been the first time I was chastising the University clinic for negligence.

      ‎ When a resolution was passed increasing tuition without consulting students, I wrote a letter demonising the illegality of the increment for non consultation of students, key stake holders in the University. The total increment imposed on residents was 470,000 UGX. I found this unacceptable and decided I would empower my colleagues by writing to the university.

      The university administration was surprised by my decision to dispute the increment. ‎ What the University failed to understand is that I wasn’t doing this for me. I had taken a stand for others, I had taken a stand for the countless beneficiaries of loan schemes. I had taken a stand for the various privately sponsored students labouring to raise tuition. My sponsors could afford to pay any amount of tuition, not everyone was lucky though.

      On the last day of that semester, students assembled at the Agape Square, in a peaceful consultative meeting while they awaited the Vice Chancellor to address them. The meeting was labeled a demonstration. There were no placards, no chants, no procession or violence. The meeting wasn’t called by me. I wasn’t even around University that morning. I and a colleague, Simon Semmuwemba were branded ring leaders. Simon had equally been critical in demanding for accountability for funds collected. We were summarily deemed improper elements, summarily tried by the University Disciplinary Committee and dismissed.

      ‎ I stood my ground against unfairness and lost my student status at University. “I have always strived to see people liberated. My convictions have often turned me into a subject of public criticism. I discovered that there’s no liberty that can be achieved by an illiterate man. Once a man attains liberty, the men behind him, attain liberty.

      MAVERICKS OR MACHIAVELLIS? ( THE UGANDAN REVOLUTIONARIES)

      “A year ago, we were all about Amama Mbabazi.
      Several weeks ago, Andrew Mwenda launched an offensive against Dr. Kizza Besigye.
      Now, Stella Nyanzi against the First Lady is the thing.

      The truth however is that all these things to me seem useless. Because, for example Amama Mbabazi left a trail of broken hearts and he is now enjoying his acquired wealth. Besigye now has some lousy campaign about Land grabbing, Andrew Mwenda is busy with other things that market him and his magazine despite being labeled an idiot, a sellout and a shameless homosexual. Stella Nyanzi, well, before this she had stripped naked in protest to Mamdani (‘s mistreatment). Also, her anger is well founded as she was a week back stopped from attending a conference in Netherlands.

      Let me not even talk about Frank Gashumba, who caught the attention of the president and was even invited to his country home in Rwakitura. Or, let me not talk about the rebel MPs including Barnabas Tinkasimire and Ssekikubo.

      As for the rest of us behind our touch screens, we wait for the next bait to ware our typing fingers out.

      I want an objective person, one more objective and more honest than me to tell me when Uganda’s supposed middle class will put their smart phones down and take action that has real impact and fosters real change as opposed to dancing to the tunes of useless and inconsequential battles so that we can in this superficial bubble, at least for a moment forget our miserable situation as citizens of the republic of Uganda.

      For example when Stella Nyanzi was summoned to the CID headquarters, she called upon all Ugandans of “good will” to join her there and give her campaign a desired push but just a handful turned up. Something that has now sent her to put in the time herself and lobby companies and politicians in a drive that has seen her kiss and praise Kato Lubwama as a very sane and reasonable politician in addition to her apology for all utterances she made against that good man of the land.

      But all this while you like her posts, comment on them and share them, winning that sense of gratification because someone at least got the balls to hurl insults the regime you apparently abhor! Have you for a moment thought that she could actually be frustrated?
      One time Hon. Betty Nambooze talked of Ugandans who meet her and say they wish Uganda had 100 more Namboozes. So, do you wish that we had 100 Stella Nyanzis too?

      Are you not like that neighbor who can’t do a thing about his rapist neighbor but laughs out loud in jubilation when goats graze in their family graveyard?

      If I may challenge you now, what is your role in the “revolution”? Are you any relevant in the struggle? How different are you from those who have just shut up anyway because they just can’t do a thing? Are you not the same people that sang hymns in the name of Nambooze and Betty Kamya or Nabiira Sempala yet now you chase them out of DP, call them sellouts and gay sympathizers respectively?

      Have you lost yourselves in this superficial bubble so much that you now can’t see the truth before you, one election after the other?

      I am not asking you to be reasonable. I am just asking you to be honest- to yourselves and the struggle you apparently believe in and can cause you to swear, call one an idiot, or praise one who does so.”

      Hello

      Hope this letter finds your settled somewhere with Mbidde,  Mwesigwa Frank, Brig. Karamire , Sewungu, etc popping a champagne. I beseech you to pause your bottle down, take a second look around yourself and take note; you are the odd man out .

      I wish to bring it to your attention that your kinsman Obote one day sat with just one of those to plot against Ugandans and the outcomes of that meeting to date haunts all Northerners.

      Being the intellectual that you are supposed to be your Excellency, I’m sure you need no history professor to remind you of such

      When you were elected DP president, peace loving Ugandans celebrated as they looked at it as a gesture of nationalizing the party and expectant of your intellectual leadership.

      Personally as I was seated somewhere in Kyabazaala, I myopically looked at it as a big experiment whose results are to come over years. I saw it as a war between trusted intellectualism verses inherited traditional enmity you face against two strong unavoidable forces; DP the party and Buganda the tribe.

      A peek into your background, your blood flows into DP’s major political enemy UPC and Undeniably, there is traditional hatred between northerners and Buganda.

      As you told me the last time we met “that the Acholi’s were told they were to be made to carry BRICKS on their heads from Acholi land to Buganda to pay for Obote’s destruction of Lubiri fence” That fear has never died neither has baganda’s hatred for Obote for destroying Lubiri. The urge for revenge runs in you yourself

      Upon that background, I have always watched your leadership awaiting a verdict. Today one week after a one on one interaction with you, I have got the answers.

      You have committed three sacrilegious crimes against DP the party’s ideology, the opposition and northern Uganda in general. These sins may return to haunt your kinsmen even longer than Obote did.

      Behind your leadership was Acholi/ Northern Uganda’s ability to re-lead Uganda after the painful memories your past gov’ts left us.

      You and Akena represent your generation and Northern Uganda in Uganda’s politics. You are lucky that you have both had chance to lead Uganda’s oldest parties. You had chance to delete that bad history from Ugandans minds left by your kinsmen regimes and rebuilt northerners confidence in Ugandans hearts.

      And how have you represented your region and generation in leadership? With financial greed, selfishness, moral decay, dictatorship etc.

      The two of you have sold out age old parties moreover to a government that for over 10years haunted your kins-men! You 2 are a shame to the great GIPIR or RABONG

      You have today ashamed all northerners and awoken Ugandan’s memory of the Obote regime since you have proved yourself as bloody and violent as him

      Munnange outside here every sane Ugandan is silently whispering, ‘are these people still dark hearted” to this level?

      It’s unfortunate my president that you have irretrievably lost intellectual and moral trust among elites of this society. Am afraid all your TV articulations from now-on will be ignored and despised as coming from a hypocritical mind.

      Mr president, this Mukono  woman Nambooze has laid you bare and left you with no moral authority to just talk against m7 She has proved you are the same or worse because you combine him and Obote’s bad characters in you.

      I get shivers whenever I attempt to add you to Museveni’s list of “Used and Dumped” jjukira, none has ever politically woken up after betraying people to please Museveni.

      Trust is like virginity, one prick and its gone forever

      Chairman being the big person you are now in NRM gov’t that gave you a pistol, gives you police at will etc, losing my trust may not be of value to you but remember M7 does all this because of DP he is using you to destroy not because of Mao the person.

      Your Excellency, as I told you last time, you know I know your plan to reduce DP to ‘ekikongoliro’ level dump it to Mbidde to mop off then form the Nile Progressive Party [NPP] with politicians along the Nile I will not mention here. But I fear those people are reading this and may also be scared of dealing with you.

      Bye for now

      I’m home to Kyabazaala for a weekend with Mzee Kaweesa  who is never drained of words of wisdom. He has just told me “All birds, Insects and animals you see know their homes”

      Kyokka Mzeeeee

      End Of The Road For Jacob Zuma, A Rogue and Crooked Traitor. Like Kayibanda Museveni In Uganda, Zuma Represents Sleaze, Graft and Corruption. Zuma is a stain On the Heroic Struggles South African People Made To Rescue Their Country From The Bane of the Vile Apartheid Colonial subjugation, and Build a Just and equitable Society; The Rwandan Outlaw Kayibanda Museveni On the Other Hand Has Left Uganda a Broken country, blood-soaked and Teetering on the brink of economic meltdown and social oblivion.
