@AkampaSeth@SamsonMKasumba Bro, it's upon you/them to look for this information and have a mind of your own. Knowledge is expensive, and ignorance is bliss. It's good that the world is now finding out, the only problem is that the ignorant still have a platform
What @ntvuganda & @sparktvuganda are doing to keep us engaged as we wait for this impasse to be resolved is thoughtful.
For 20 years, NTV has been part of our public life, informing us, entertaining us, & showing up in moments that mattered. We have trusted you for two decades. Well will stay with you now. We shall wait with you #NTVAt20
SHAME ON ALAN KASUJJA & ANDREW MWENDA
I am deeply ashamed of two men in the hierarchy of the leadership of the Patriotic League of Uganda @PluMediaSEC , given yesterday’s illegal shut down of the @DailyMonitor , @ntvuganda, @sparktvuganda, @933kfm and @DembeFm . Why didn’t Alan Kasujja and Andrew Mwenda protect press freedom and free speech from Muhoozi’s iron fist?
I lent Alan @kasujja my type writer for his very first typing lessons and practice exercises. It was 1994. I was in the second year of my Bachelor’s degree in Mass Communication and Literature at Makerere University. Alan was a good Born-Again brother-in-Christ who desperately needed a type writer on which to practice and perfect his typing skills. I had recently bought my first type writer with Boom money the university annually granted to students then. Alan would come to CCE to borrow my type writer on Friday afternoon, take it to his home for practice over the weekends, and then return it in time for me to type my course work assignments. This became routine for a while, until I let him borrow the type writer for a vacation.
When Alan grew up to become a hot-pants celebrity Ugandan journalist at the BBC HQ in London, I was very proud to know him. He represented free speech, free expression, media freedom, the rights of journalists to practice their profession without undue state interruption, etc. Today, I am amazed at how badly the mighty giant has fallen! How can Alan look on as his brutish military friend shuts down a whole chain of public media houses? Of what use is Alan to the media fraternity if he cannot protect journalists, newspapers, TV stations and radio stations from the brute’s over-reach?
And then, there is @AndrewMwenda . Yoh, what disappointment!!! I was with Andrew in the same tiny class of only 20 brilliant students at Makerere Universiy. We studied Mass Communication together for three years. I sat on the third row of the first line of our classroom. Mwenda sat on the last row of that line, at the very back of the classroom. Although he could be loud and obnoxious when driving his point in a debate, he was generally good natured and had his heart in the right place. When he fell ill and uncharacteristically missed class for weeks, I went with a mutual friend to Lumumba Hall to visit him. He was that type of guy; one deserving of empathy because he gave it.
And so, I still get shocked by the wicked ugly monster whom Mwenda turned into these past few years. Embracing old and young dictators brought out Mwenda’s long talons, long blood-sucking probosis, long fangs, and long lying tongue. Licking brutal Muhoozi’s arse rendered Mwenda totally impotent. He cannot man up and defend the independence of critical public media. He cannot defend press freedom, media freedom, free speech or free expression. He cannot defend the rights of journalists to work freely! Of what use is Mwenda to journalism in Uganda?
I am ashamed of both Andrew Mwenda and Alan Kasujja for allowing empty-headed @mkainerugaba to shit into press freedom in Uganda. I am ashamed because both of these Ugandan journalists lack a backbone and balls. I spit on their names!
🇵🇾🥺 Even before the ball started rolling in Paraguay against Australia, the World Cup had already delivered one of its most beautiful scenes.
As soon as the Paraguayan anthem ended, the camera caught a father and son hugging, filled with emotion, their eyes full of tears country’s anthem and, at the same time, the unique feeling of experiencing the biggest stage of world football together.
The World Cup has this power. It makes time stop for a few seconds unites generations, and transforms a simple hug into an eternal memory.
Because football is never just about what happens inside the four lines. Sometimes, the most striking image of match happens even before the opening whistle. ❤️🌍⚽️
A scene that perfectly sums up the spirit of a World Cup.
Western propaganda stays silent on this:
Iran ranks #1 in Asia for organ transplants.
2nd largest producer of artificial heart valves.
Top 10 in infertility treatment & nuclear medicine.
First country to produce anti-cancer drugs.
Why the silence? No profit for them.
Sorry Mr. West — the world of today isn’t buying your lies anymore.
Kyamagero, you assured us Muhoozi is highly intelligent. Clearly you lied. Kindly apologize to Ugandans for the massive self-importance you gave him. @kyamageroandrew
They lied to us about American stadiums 💀
Europe stadiums can’t even sit at the same table. These are straight-up MONSTER stadiums 👑 for the WorldCup 😳
