"Difficulties break some men but make others. No axe is sharp enough to cut the soul of a sinner who keeps on trying, one armed with the hope that he will rise even in the end" ~ Nelson Mandela.
This is how very many deeply religious Africans envisage heaven. Suffer without complaining, all your life. Accept all the bullshit of your corrupt leaders on earth and you will have more than enough to eat and drink in heaven.
I extend my sincere condolences on the passing of His Majesty King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV of Tooro. My heartfelt sympathies go to the Royal Family, the people of Tooro and the people of Uganda๐บ๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ช
Very sad to announce that our brother Paul Musoke could not make it. He passed away a short while ago after a brave fight against the severe injuries he sustained in last week's horrific arson attack. We remain hopeful that in due course, those who masterminded the cruel act leading to this tragedy will face justice. May his soul rest in peace.

Our King's life's expectancy has come lowering in that chronological order.
This is something very worrying my fellow Batooro. What is not happening with our Kings.๐๐ญ
Fortunately, in a telephone call, Her Royal Highness Kemigisa, told me that H.H. Oyo left a young boy heir that will be introduced to the public at the right time.

H.H. Oyo worked well with the Central Government, thereby avoiding the mistake of trying to use the Cultural Institutions that were restored by the NRM to promote sectarianism. It would be good if all the Cultural leaders understood the importance of this.
ย
I direct that H.H. Oyo be given an official burial and, for three days, all the flags fly at half-mast. The three days are: the day of the burial, the day before and the day after. May his soul rest in eternal peace.
Signed:

Yoweri K. Museveni
President of the Republic of Uganda
