The debate on national language is ongoing

November 22, 2009

I don’t know why Sir Henry Ford Mirima(Bunyoro Spokes person) addressed me as ‘omunyoro semuwemba’ but I’m here to ask him to be a part time nationalist for the first time and just look outside the box about the issue of Uganda’s national language. We should not worry about the politicians because they make policies depending on how [...]

Homosexuality should not be legalised in Uganda

November 22, 2009

Dear readers,
I have worked with homos and these guys have failed to convince anyone that they have got a different body from ours. So you can understand why I’m as rigid about this as you called it. There is no conclusive scientific evidence explaining homosexuality.
Homosexuality used to be treated as a mental illness in the [...]

DONT DESTROY CEMETERIES IN CITIES FOR NEW BUILDINGS

November 22, 2009

Dear Ugandans,
The government must not destroy Jinja Road cemeteries because they want to construct new business buildings.Graves are almost in all cities in the world. In the USA, Nevada has got old cemeteries and graveyards that have become tourist attractions.  Many older cemeteries in Nevada have tour guides or park rangers on hand to provide [...]

Nubians are my Muslim brothers

November 16, 2009

Dear readers,
I would like to make a few comments and probably my last about this issue.

Please I would like those who are Banubi by tribe to explain to the members what they understand by a Ugandan Nubian since this is just a debate. Brother Ahmed Katerega and I have heard our say on the issue [...]

Coffee in Uganda

October 30, 2009

Dear Ugandans,
Could some one do us a favour and send a detailed programe which was unveiled by the new Katikiro,J.B .Walusimbi. We would like to know how the growth of coffee in Buganda is going to be boosted. Uganda used to be a strong coffee grower and I remember my grandfather paying school fees for [...]

Mengo is more of a political than cultural institution

October 26, 2009

Dear readers,
Africa is all about culture and traditions. Politics in Africa are embedded in the cultural institutions. When religion was introduced on the scene in Africa, it also joined the equation of things. Therefore, anybody knocking on your door and starts telling you that you can separate culture and religion from politics, just send them [...]

Kabaka Mwanga Vs Bajulizi

June 13, 2009

It is generally accepted that a martyr is a person who sacrifices his or her life or their personal freedom in order to further a cause or belief for many. This cause or belief may be political, cultural or religious. Some of the historical political martyrs include the Manouchian Group (a group of foreign communists, [...]

WIFE VS PROSTITUTES

May 25, 2009

Hello Ugandans
Prostitution is slavery unlike the institution of marriage. In Greece, it used to be termed as ‘porneia’ which means to sell and refers to slaves bought and sold for cultic prostitution. In Rome, It used to be called “fornicatio” which means prostitution or trafficking in slaves for that purpose.
Yes, sex is very important in [...]

Luganda is romantic,easy to understand and bantu unifying factor

January 15, 2009

1. The central purpose of this debate is to discover and fulfil an African identity. That is why I find it disappointing that in this 21st century a man can sit on a chair and start typing sentences requesting English or Swahilli to be our national languages. What is national in these languages honestly?
2. I [...]

Luganda should be national language

January 5, 2009

You should not worry about the politicians because they make policies depending on how they benefit from the situations. So this debate is not concluded at all. Because the politicians don’t want to offend the non-baganda voting bloc, which is becoming larger every year, the trick is to play both sides, giving [...]

National dress out for dinner is a personal choice

January 5, 2009

1. I think we can resolve some of these issues ourselves without even asking for government help. It’s just a matter of common sense. If we agree on the national language or national dress here, the 4500 of us here can just go home and either implement it or encourage others [...]

DON’T LEGALISE PROSTITUTION

December 21, 2008

I totally agree with arguments by ministers James Kinobe (Youth) and Nsaba Buturo (Integrity) that legalising and decriminalising the sex industry will be a step in the wrong direction. It will lead to the existence of pimps and traffickers since it (legalisation)would convert brothels, sex clubs, massage parlours and other sites into legitimate venues for [...]

Witchcraft in Uganda

December 14, 2008

Witchcraft and Satanism are two totally different beliefs though they are both unacceptable in x-tianity and Islam. Witchcraft or Wicca worships the old pagan god/dess deities. There’s also no Satan in Witchcraft.  Satan is a Judeo-Christian/Islam thing. Wicca and Witchcraft, while often related, are not necessarily the same thing. Again, Witches and Wiccans are not [...]
