Similarly, I keep telling you that the North is already gone to the NRM. It seems to me that you only listen to opposition politicians.

The North is even more complicated that the Buganda region.

I keep telling you that it is for example, myth that ACOLI was UPC COMPACT. That is just the imposture tribalists eagerly paint. If you consult parliamentary records right from the late 1950s (1957?!) to the 1962 election you wont miss to see that the DP and UPC popularity was just neck to neck. Lake I once reiterated, all the UPC promineces like Peter Oola, Ojera Alex, Otema Alimadi etc who otherwise should havewon almost unopposed found themselves loosing to DPs Like Latim, Okeny, Banya, Obonyo etc. Banya and Ojera had to settle it in court who ruled infavour of Ojera.

Yet, all Ugandan are fed with is that Acoli is/was UPC. In Lango, if you went to Min Akulo where the Abdalla Anyuros were, hmmm, my friend, DP kabisa!! Not to forget the Ben Engur. But all you here is that Lango is UPC.

Similarly now, triblist maliciously prone to the assertion that Musseveni / NRM rise and fall with only Buganda and Western Uganda only. That is false. That is a tribalistic domain.

Like I said before. In Acoli the top opposition are / were independent candidates (formally UPC and DP). But, these demagogues have delivered bones.., hardly even that.

WE SHALL WORK OVERTIME TO SEE THAT OUR PEOPLE SEE THE LIGHT AND NOT WASTE VOTES ON INDEPENDENT CANDIDATES: THEY NEVER DELIVER!!

Now the reality at grass root / council level is infavour of the NRM. With Mao slicing some DP cut and Otuno, the UPC, what do you see?
NRM!!!
FDC are also there. Problem is that they are represented by the fomer independent contesters who have already enjoyed many mandate periods without delivering even bones.

I see the north as the major battle field. Tribalists use that to create false attitude to divide Ugandan

There is a limit to how far you expose your family affairs when it comes to politics. I refer you back to the US campaigns where Sara Palin’s family was being put in the lime light with the issue of her daughter.

Every one said it was not an issue to discuss for it was family matter.

John Lema.

I agree with you that all human beings are the same. But that is not what human behaviour reveals. This is what studies show> In terms of desirability for sexual purposes and more, white men and women are desired more. Now here is the good news for folks of African descent what some call black men, in terms of desirability they are runners up behind the white men in the West.

The least desirable men are Asians. Next time you walk the streets of London or any Western city, pay attention on how many Asian men you will see in romantic acts with white women, African women, Spanish women or even Asian women from other countries. In plain English, it is very hard for Asian men to get it. Why? Because their women desire the muzungu most.

The good news for the women is that there is no least desirable category. Why? Because most of the men who fail in their pursuit of that muzungu revert to their own.

So the talk you hear by African men denigrating African women is a reversal of what the bazungu bastards did whenever they went to colonize: rape the women first.

So when the “other” finally lands in the Muzungu land, they want to do what the bastards did in their countries: conquer the muzungu kyanna no matter what.

What do you mean that African women are the craziest? Crazy in what ways? I have heard that too many times. Trust me I have seen it all and when you ask the brothers why they gave up their Makerere, Ibadan, Nairobi, Legon, Lagos, Dar educated women for semi-illiterate and even illiterate Bazungu they claim that African women are crazy or hard. Wapi.

It is mental. Actually some suffer from pure inferiority so they feel being with any muzungu even the illiterate one is better than staying married to a Makerere educated lawyer, Engineer or Lagos trained doctor. It may be for the man, but not for the children.

Again next time you attend a Ugandan or African function there in the UK, try to find out which kids are doing well in school and which kids are failing. Here is what you will most likely find because that is what studies show: second generation kids with single race parents (African-African, Asian-Asian) are doing better in school than children from mixed race families in general.

Why? Part of it has to do with self esteem. Mixed children lack self esteem because many do not have an idea who they are. Factor in racism and things get dicey. The other factor is that illiterate muzungu mother who charmed the African man cannot help out with the homework. Do your investigation there in the UK.

Now recall what I said about Asian men as being the least desirable. It has advantages for their children in school. Being on the sexual margins of least desirability has given Asians families an edge in education.

Why? Because Asian families save for Philippine and Japanese are likely to be same race: Indians, Chinese, and Pakistanis etc. The kids know who they are, so they are likely to have self esteem. The exception in the UK is the Pakistani kid who rank dead last or near the bottom. Why? Because the Pakistanis who went to the UK in the past were poorly educated or even illiterate compared to the Indians. UK is the anomaly with Pakistani kids.

Elsewhere they do well because the parents are likely to be educated: remember official immigration pick the cream of the cream from other countries to come and do manual labour in the West.

What is the narrative here? African and other men should stop being selfish and think about the children they are likely to father with those semi-illiterate or illiterate Bazungu and some Asian women. A lot is at stake. It is time to think of the next generation.

The funny thing is that nobody bazungu men marry up: they marry African women with powerful fathers in Africa. Then they move to Africa to take over our electricity utilities, telecommunications firms, oil resources, beaches, hotels, banks, manufacturing firms etc.

I had no idea about this..

Yes, there is some stability in Kenya partly because of their military. It is the pillar of their stability.

But you are wrong: there are big boys in their military too only that that they stay within the system, and when their time is done, they formally retire and the generals are pulled out literally of Ulinzi by their juniors who wish them luck.

But Kenya is also interesting. Their top army leave the army because of the chain of succession-one term as CGS-but they have a soft landing as Chairman of a parastatal for about 3 years or Ambassordship. For example their new hgh commissioner to Uganda is a retired major general (Luhya ) who was in active service until last year.

So why was general Kazini not formally retired? Why are so many top officers not formally retired in Uganda? Why does the government of Uganda put men and women on katebe to depress them and dribve them towards drinking and womanizing?

The govt should level up with the military brass and retire them formally. I know they do not want to retire them because a) the boss fears they may join opposition, b) join rebel ranks c) join politics and so on.
I can also tell you from personal experience than the Big Boys in the Kenay forces are very modest.

We used to attend Mass at the Basillica with the navy commander and deputy Army commnader, but you could never tell it. I knew because I had come closer to the church and had some role helping out so one time I was introduced to the big Boys. They prefered to attend evening mass on Fridays when it was not very busy.

Now compare that with Uganda where even Lance Corporals and privates can be national figures and heros at that. In Kenya few Kenyan can name their big militray men. They know the police Commisioner more.

So why are privates, Sgts and junior officers widely known in Uganda? What is it that elevates junior officers to national fame or infamy in Uganda when in Kenya, top ranking officers are hardly even by the media?

Point of clarification, the late Brigadier Ndolo was a kamba not Luo. He was retired because he was suspected of plotting a coup. He was replaced by General Mulinge a fellow Kamba. The current CGS is also a kamba, as is their deputy army commander, and presidential jet pilot, Major General Mulinge, son of retired General Mulinge, whose other son, a retired Major General Mulinge is Kenya’s ambassador to Somalia, but based in Nairobi. Why you may wonder Kamba? Apparently they like military service and are faithful to their oath as are the Taitas.

The Kambas are very proud to serve in the army. They take great pride in their service. You should know that Ukambani is very dry land with limited opportunities so you have an idea.

Another big difference is that recruitment in Kenyan forces is proportional. That matters for instittutional stability because it creates an internal balance of power. The key word here is balance of power. In other words, Kenya’s army has internal balance of power, something UPDF lacks. I know some will say that UPDF is trying to rectify the imbalance. In other words, diversity within the ranks matters.

Mr semuwemba do not even believe in the propganda that Mr Kibaki has been bad for Kenya. That is what western propoganda wants you to believe. Go to Nairobi and se how once ruined insttitutions by Moi are booming again. There is economic hope. And Mr Kibaki NEVER interferes. You either perform or fail on your own. Plus he prefers older men and women. He is not a big fan of young turks when it comes to important tasks. And the older generation has mostly delivered. That may change after 2012 but today men and women who should have retired are still working . Why? Because the younger generation almost ruined the economy.

That is another difference between Knya and Uganda: men and women of values and yes morals are still serving. In Uganda it is mostly those without any values or morals who are in service. that is why they hide 800 million or Bilions in their bedrooms. Imgaine Professor Mondo is Chancellllor of Makerere. How can than be?

Three names come to mind, Professor Sentezza-Kajubi, Dr Martin Aliker and former CJ Samuel Wako Wambuzi. One of these men would make a better Chancellor than the thieving Mondo. this goes to institutional stability.

In Kenya president Kibaki picked Chancellors and he chose older men: Mr Joe Wanjui (kikuyu), former boss of East African Industries, nairobi university, Profesor Bethwell Ogot (Luo), Moi university, Profesor Ali Mazrui (Coast), Jomo Kenyaata, Mr Harry Mule -Kamba, his long serving treasury secretray when he was Finance Minister, Kenyatta university, Mr Bethwell Kiplagat, Egerton, Mr Wamalwa(luhya), Maseno university. These are respected Kenyan elders, unlike thieves like Mondo Kagonyera.

I agree with you, Uganda needs to become a federal nation first before we can join any East African federation.

I rather suspect the enthusiasm of Uganda about the whole East African federation issue is a smoke screen to divert us from our own federalism at home. This was a colonial strategy, and it is being resurrected by Yoweri Museveni. Apparently, the conventional “wisdom” of a dictator is that “if you want to dominate them, contain them in a larger East African federation, while internally, within Uganda, they are in a unitary kraal. Stupid!

On Mwalimu Nyerere and EA federation, yes he was for federation initially before independence. But Nyerere’s views changed about EA federation and even Kwame Nkrumah’s African Union after independence. Nyerere was one of Nkrumah’s strongest critics and fiercely opposed the idea of United States of Africa, as espoused by Nkrumah. Also, within EA, Tanzania under Nyerere started doing their own thing, ie Ujamaa, or African socialism. Meanwhile Kenya became full-blown capitalist state and Uganda remained undecided whether to be fully capitalist or to mix it up with a dose of socialism. Milton Obote came up with the Common Man’s Charter. But the whole idea of Common Man’s Charter was a half-baked thesis of Akena Adoko who authored the whole concept from start to finish. It never got off the ground, the military coup of Iddi Amin notwithstanding.

When Amin came to power the EA federation idea flew out of the window. Nyerere would not even share a conference hall with Amin.

People need to be told openly the implications of any East African federation. For instance, would landless Kenyans be free to come and settle in Acholi? This and others are some of the questions that need clarification. And of course to join EA federation you need a referendum, parliament cannot decide that because it would be unconstitutional.

2.I always ask my self why people call UNLF/A obote’s when the old man didnot even step in moshi at the time of their formation.

3.why is luwero war crimes blamed on obote when its clear that museven was campaining while he was starting clearly that if upc win elction he was going to the bush to fight.

4.of the two fghting forces in the luwero triangle UNLA and NRA which one defending the teritorial bondary.

5.why the 1966 criss is blemed on obote and not kagwa and lukiko which moved and passed the motion to remove the central government from the buganda soil.

I wil be great full if you will give me the detailed explanation to th above.

Capt Levi Mugarura is my late father.I now live in London Uk but am very keen to find out more about his military career.

Am hopig that MR Semuwemba could be a useful source of information.

Please yu can contact me via my email.

l wondered whether Prof.Kanyeihamba is still sure of his memory if he could not remember that the then Col. Tito Okello was the one who suggested that Yusuf Lule heads the Political Commission and Paulo Muwanga the Military Commission since the latter was already in the field. Secondly, Yoweri Museveni was not elected Vice Chairperson of military Commission until personal intrvention of the late Mwalimu Nyerere. They had elected Grace Ibingira the Deputy Chairperson and l have never heard Ibigira among the Baseveni. The British imposed Lule on Tanzanians, and because Nyerere wanted funding to oust Amin, he accepted. Lule was not shered enough to consolidate the power. Nyerere used all of them; Lule, Binaisa and Muwanga, as curtain raisers, to prepare for Obote’s return to power. Had he not acted that war the Luwero war and the northern war may have been avoided.
