“…when you look at them (African artistes), their music is not freeing Africa. Your music needs to free Africa.
If I’m all the way in Jamaica and my people fight to free your continent with WORD, SOUND and POWER, and you have the ability now, and all you’re singing is ‘that’?
You need to sing a song to free Africa now? You want the money? Go get it!
But what’s going to be said about you later on, and your posterity?”-Buju Banton
Happy Father's Day, Kitange.
As I grow older, I realise that some of life's greatest gifts were not the things you gave me, but the man you taught me to become.
Thank you for every sacrifice you never spoke about, every lesson you taught through example, and every prayer you whispered when nobody was watching.
You were never just raising a son. You were planting seeds whose shade you may never fully sit under. Today, I honour you, celebrate you, and thank God for you.
Happy Father's Day, Dad. Your legacy lives on.

Now that you’re all looking at my timeline for updates, let me use this chance to ask you kindly to retweet this shoe until it reaches the person in whose foot it fits!
FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS!
Nameere will be given bond in the next few minutes. The interesting bit is that she was detained from a stand alone Airbnb somewhere along Salaama road!
Ekiduumusi kyamukubidewo!
Among was going to be arrested along with her fellow mabaati thieves but they didn’t want to be on record for arresting a sitting speaker of parliament!
Now that’s she’s as good as Agnes Nandutu, Kakiwulire!
Among the questions that AAA was asked in the Entebbe meeting was about her influence in the election in Bukholi South constituency that saw independent MP Adidwa Abdul beat Mayende Stephen a favorite of the oldman!
Amidst endless diversions by the regime to deflect citizens' attention from the recent electoral fraud and Uganda's deepening moral and institutional collapse, these words by retiring Judge His Lordship Stephen Egonda-Ntende at his farewell sitting yesterday could not have come at a better time. The Judge urged the judiciary to search deeply within itself for a soul.
He boldly condemned the injustice and cruelty of continuing to jail comrade Waiswa Mufumbiro without bail beyond the constitutional limit, moreover on a minor offence, to the extent of denying him the chance to accompany his children to bury their mother, his wife, the late Edith Katende.
Indeed, as the good Judge suggested, no Ugandan should ever be treated like this again by their own country!
I am here to remind Ugandan politicians of their role as public servants, encouraging them to conduct themselves in a manner befitting their position rather than that of celebrities. You are not celebrities, you are public servants.
Akiso just like many Ugandans under detention is being brought to court today. Not because he committed a crime, but because he dared to challenge a system to do better for its people.
Fortunately as you jail one Akiso, many Akisos come up and continue to demand and speak on the sorry state of this country. One day, the dictator will be gone.
