@qataharraymond Nangwa nangwa. We keep the status quo. They should be children of Batooro mothers. Just imagine, King Oyo at the age of 3 being brought up by a mother from another tribe. What language was she going to teach him?
Bagundi, how about you do content like this instead of showing us your nyash...?
You will still get the likes you're looking for while serving humanity...
Moses Matovu has just given useless bloggers another two weeks to yap nonsense.
They’d almost run dry.
They started with Alex mukulu, they milked the story and made sure the widow is looked at as a fool in the eyes of the public. As they were closing shop,
Tooro happened, they milked this for a full three weeks and as it was drying up,
Moses Matovu has brought a new story. God knows how any stories are going to be manufactured out of his death.
I sympathize with the family because it’s going to be a loooooog month.
Many African kings, queens, princes and princesses today appear to have forgotten why they are royals and the irony is that remembering the original purpose of the royalty might require some of them to abdicate it yet the prestige, property, protocol and delicious privileges attached to royalty make it remarkably difficult to surrender.
As a proud African man, I have spent considerable time reading cultural and legal anthropology, particularly the relationship between traditional kingdoms and the republics that emerged after colonial rule. Once political sovereignty migrated to republican governments, kings largely lost their coercive and governmental authority. What remained was perhaps their most defensible function, ie, custodianship of cultural values, norms, traditions and institutions compatible with modern law.
But look at our custodians! Many African kings have embraced Christianity, a colonial religion introduced from elsewhere. They carry colonial or biblical names inherited from the same historical encounter that weakened their kingdoms. Some barely speak the indigenous languages of the people whose cultures they supposedly embody. Cultural practices that are neither unlawful nor legally repugnant are sometimes neglected, while imported customs receive royal benediction. A religion that is not deeply rooted into your traditions and customs is not worthy of chasing, but they are the custodians of our traditions?
This produces a magnificent contradiction. If the principal justification for retaining a traditional king is that he safeguards the culture, what happens when the king abandons the culture but retains the crown? Is that not a species of abdication without the inconvenience of leaving the throne?
If you strip away cultural custodianship and ask what remains, the land, property, per diems from republican governments, palaces, the titles, ceremonial chairs, prestige and conceivably a convoy and somebody permanently employed to say, ‘Your Majesty.’
In serious kingdoms, it would be treasonous to desecrate the cherished customs and traditions, and the subjects would dethrone you and crown someone else who would be a great custodian of the norms.
