A Canadian passport is worth maybe $80k/year in job opportunities.

One ministerial signature on a forest concession, a lake lease, or a convention centre land deal is worth generational wealth.

These guys don't serve the public ,they ARE the public tender.

You know that minister who signed off on the convention centre land grab? Go check his net worth before and after. (Michael Jackson numbers).

The man moonwalked straight into a new tax bracket.

"Commitment to public service" is just the press release.

The real currency is access , to forests, lakes, minerals, and land that belongs to 40 million people but signs with one pen.

The fastest millionaires on earth aren't in Silicon Valley.
They're in Cabinet of 3rd worlds

Omujulizi Karoli Lwanga yayokebwa nga 3 June 1886 awo awaazimbibwa ekiggwa ky'Abajulizi e Namugongo. Abajulizi Abakatoliki bali 24.
E Nakiyanja ye wattirwa Abajulizi abasinga obungi. Abapolositante bali 23.

Nga tukuza olunaku lw'Abajulizi, n'Obukirisito, tujjukire Ssekabaka Muteesa I, eyayita abasomesa/abaminsane (era Nnakazadde wa Uganda), ate ne Ssekabaka Mwanga II, eyatta abasomi ng'alwanirira ensi ye, kyokka ate awo n'asiga Obukirisito mu Uganda.

St. Charles Lwanga was burnt on 3rd June 1886, at the site of the Martrys Shrine, Namugongo. There are 24 canonised Catholic Martyrs. Most Martyrs were executed at Nakiyanja. There are 23 Anglican Martyrs.

As we commemorate the Martyrs, and Christianity, we should pay respects to Ssekabaka Muteesa I, who invited teachers/missionaries (who is actually the Father of modern Uganda), and Ssekabaka Mwanga II, who ordered killing of the Martyrs, as he struggled for his country's sovereignty, but planted the Christian seed in Uganda, as a consequence.

@mark_mukungu @NgobokaRonald2 @sejudav Let’s think about it.

[SSEKABIRA PATRICK @PSSEKABIR]

To all who celebrate Martyrs’ Day, remember Kabaka Mwanga II is part of this history. The events were complex, with many sides and perspectives. Let’s acknowledge the full history as we reflect on the day.

@nemaug Opposite Kawuku Parents' School. It is less costly to stop the construction of buildings than to demolish them.

[Isaac Ssemakadde @IsaacSsemakadde]

@M_____i_JR Medical interns chose infantilisation.

We should discuss the dangers of infantilisation, all forms of exceptionalism & assumed privilege among “slaves on the Plantation” before it’s too late.

[Kalundi Serumaga @NativeLandgrab]

@geoffobbo13 @sejudav The way to understand others, is to understand oneself better, first.
By “Primitive anthropology”, I mean other Ugandans discussing all manner of things about Ganda culture in a way that shows they have never applied the same questions to themselves.
Confusion and offence follow.

@mark_mukungu @NgobokaRonald2 @sejudav Because: Indigenous power. Bolivia is in week 5 of a General Strike.
At 60%, it has the highest number of still-indigenous folk in all South America.
They’ve paralysed the country, saying the IMF-imposed regime must go.
America is saying “shoot the protesters”.
Sounds familiar?

[Kalundi Serumaga @NativeLandgrab]

@LoveGalandi @sejudav Thank you for most clearly proving my point.
The good General can now rely on your amazing ability to know exactly what “a big section of Baganda” think.
Next time I’m wondering what I think about something, I’ll just ask you.
I’d never be so presumptuous about your people, tho’.

[Kalundi Serumaga @NativeLandgrab]

@geoffobbo13 @sejudav As Karugire (Snr) wrote in the ‘70s:
“When it comes to the question of Buganda, every other Ugandan becomes an instant patriot!”
🤣
Such automatic reflexivity means this:
“If [non-Baganda] spent as much effort researching and understanding their OWN cultures…”. got missed.
LOL.

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

The oak woodlands that European settlers mistook for untouched wilderness were a landscape California's indigenous peoples had been shaping for thousands of years.

The acorn was the staple food across most of California. It fed many of the region's tribes, from the Karuk and Yurok in the north to the Kumeyaay in the south, and it turns up in archaeological sites stretching back at least 9,000 years.

The oaks were carefully tended, not just harvested. Across hundreds of distinct nations, people lit deliberate low fires beneath the trees, clearing brush, returning nutrients to the soil, knocking back the weevils and moth larvae that bore into the nuts, and keeping the groves open and bearing well. Which oaks thrived, and where, was partly a human achievement.

Then an 1850 California law outlawed the burning and the people who tended the land were forced off it. The groves grew denser, fuel accumulated, and the loss of cultural burning became one of several factors contributing to today's severe wildfires.

But it's coming back. Tribes across California are leading cultural burns again, on their own land and alongside the agencies that once banned the practice.

As North Fork Mono tribal chairman Ron Goode puts it, "Fire has spirit, this land has spirit, and when we're burning, they come alive."

[Gen Jean-Jacques Dessalines @MxolisiBob]

They call it Doctrine of Discovery.

No African country has its own laws after colonisation, we call ourselves "educated" when regurgitate laws which were created to dispossess and dehumanize us

[Kalundi Serumaga @NativeLandgrab]

@wakakasam @sejudav Not really.
He missed the critical part of the statement:
“If [non-Baganda] spent as much effort researching and understanding their own cultures…”
Talk about Buganda (or wherever) from a standpoint of having an understanding of your own cultures first.
Ignorance can’t teach.

[Kalundi Serumaga @NativeLandgrab]

@sejudav Eh…..
You have also come.
Banange.

[Kalundi Serumaga @NativeLandgrab]

@KAdyeri2 @Namugosh @iamogutudaudi Grow up .
Join the discussion.
Have an opinion.
Help develop knowledge.
Too many mission-school Ugandans think that cynicism is a form of cleverness.
You are not helping yourself by standing to one side and speaking in poorly-formulated riddles.
Tell us what you actually think.

[julius lugaaya @lugaaya]

The @KCCAUG and @MoWT_Uganda promised us to deal with these decaying bad boys, nothing so far.
At the start of the year they promised mandatory car inspections if not they (DMCs) would face the wrath of the enforcement.
What happened to the efforts?
We have a minister for kla .

[Kalundi Serumaga @NativeLandgrab]

@JrTandeka @iamogutudaudi Obviously not someone who spells “looting” as “rooting”.
So you can sit down.
It’s all beyond you.

[welearnSA @welearnSA]

Magubane paid a heavy price for his resistance photojournalism. He was arrested multiple times, had his nose broken by police for refusing to hand over his film, and in 1974, was put into solitary confinement for 586 days. When he was released, the regime banned him from taking photos for five years. Undeterred, he broke his banning orders to cover the historic 1976 Soweto Uprising.

[Kalundi Serumaga @NativeLandgrab]

@JrTandeka @iamogutudaudi You are the one who is facing extinction.
When the Euro-American empire finally collapses (as the whole world except you dense Africans see happening), all the business projects they planted in Africa and called “countries” that they’ve given to you to run are also going to go.
