Andrew, honestly, this is deeply disappointing. Even if you believe Best Kemigisa has acted wrongly, there is a proper way to address that. What you have chosen to do is turn an unresolved royal and customary dispute into a public prosecution of a woman who has just lost her son.
And the original version of your post was even more disturbing. You went as far as invokin H.E @KagutaMuseveni the sitting President of Uganda, in your account of why Queen Mother Best Kemigisa was allegedly protected from prosecution over the murder of Prince Kijanangoma. Yet that version was later deleted and replaced with an edited one. Why delete it?
If that is your truth, stand by it. You put it out publicly. You attached the President’s name to an extremely serious allegation involving a murder investigation and alleged protection from prosecution. That is not a minor detail you casually edit out and expect people not to notice.
And If the body was being unlawfully withheld, involve the appropriate authorities. If there is a succession dispute, resolve it through the recognised customary and legal mechanisms. If there was forgery, produce the evidence. If there was murder, produce the findings. If there was misuse or sale of kingdom land, produce the records. Social media is not a court of law. Repetition is not evidence. And personal proximity to the royal family is not proof. You keep asking people to put emotions aside and look at the facts. Fine. Then let us do exactly that.
What is the specific customary rule being violated? What is the legal authority governing the present dispute? What evidence establishes the allegations you have made? And what process has been followed?
And please, the constant “my grandmother, my cousin, my royal connections…” does not make your account automatically authoritative. If your argument is sound, defend the argument. You do not need to repeatedly remind Ugandans of your proximity to Tooro to make it credible. Most importantly, whatever grievances you may have carried for 30 years, this woman has just lost the son she gave birth to, the man who became Omukama. You may disagree with her actions, but turning her grief into a public catalogue of every accusation you have against her is unnecessarily cruel. If she has broken the law or violated a binding customary process, deal with it through the proper institutions. Do not turn X into her courtroom simply because you have a platform.
You say you love Tooro and are defending the kingdom. Then defend its dignity too. Because what you are doing right now is not making the kingdom look stronger; it is exposing a deeply personal and unresolved royal conflict to the entire country at the most painful possible moment.
We expected better from you, Andrew. Much better.
Speaking fluent English while your grandmother's tongue dies in your mouth is not progress. It is the most successful colonial experiment in human history.
They didn't just take your land. They took the language you used to name it. Every time a child grows up fluent in English but mute in their mother tongue, the colonial project wins—silently, generationally, completely. This is not about rejecting English. It is about understanding what was stolen before you decide what to keep.
There are over 2,000 languages and dialects spoken across Africa. Linguists predict that by 2100 more than half will be extinct—not because Africans forgot them, but because Africans were punished for speaking them.
This was not accidental. Lord Macaulay said it in 1835 in his infamous Minute on Indian Education, but the same blueprint was applied across Africa: create a class of people “Indian in blood and colour, but English in taste, opinions, morals and intellect.” Replace the mind. Control the continent forever.
Here is what they never taught you: African languages are not primitive. Yoruba has a tonal complexity that English cannot replicate. Xhosa uses click consonants that modern linguistics still struggles to fully map. These were not simple tongues. They were sophisticated systems of thought.
When you lose a language, you don't just lose words. You lose a way of seeing the world. Concepts, medicines, histories, philosophies—entire civilisations of thought—exist only in those languages. When the language dies, the knowledge dies with it. Permanently.
The most disturbing part: many Africans today voluntarily finish what colonisers started. Parents refuse to teach their children their native tongue. “It limits them,” they say. This is not practicality. It is a trauma response dressed as ambition.
Some will say English opened doors. And they are right. But ask yourself—who built those doors? Who decided which language unlocks opportunity and which one marks you as less than? Accepting that system without questioning it is not intelligence. It is submission.
You were not born ashamed of your language. That shame was installed through beatings, policy and generations of conditioning that told you the coloniser's tongue was civilisation and yours was noise. Thousands of Africans today cannot hold a full conversation in their ancestral language. That is not a coincidence. That is a designed outcome.
Ask yourself: if your language disappeared tomorrow, what exactly would be lost? And who benefits from you never asking that question?
The loudest proof of wealth is not a designer suit—it is the freedom to enter a room without performing for anyone.
Titus Muya’s casual dress beside sharply suited executives tells a deeper story: ownership changes the balance of power.
Years ago, he was reportedly the founder, strategist, administrator and errand man building @FamilyBankKenya from the ground up.
Today, thousands of careers and decisions sit on foundations laid when few people were watching, applauding or believing.
That is the lesson many young Kenyans miss. Looking successful is expensive; becoming successful demands sacrifice, patience and ownership.
Clothes can create an impression, but only assets, institutions and cash flow can create lasting independence.
Money at its highest level does not merely buy luxury. It buys choice, time, dignity and the power to say no. It allows you to dress for comfort, speak without fear and occupy rooms where your work—not your appearance—commands respect.
Stop spending your best years trying to look rich before you have built anything. Build the company. Own the shares.
Create jobs. Accumulate productive assets. One day, people in expensive suits may sit around a table because of decisions you made in silence.

African women are strong and hard-working women.
Winnie Nyan Achai Jok she is such a busy hard working woman doing manual works.
Someone said she won't trend because she is not naked, let's prove them wrong.
I watched my wife slowly increase in size as the baby inside her grew. I saw her writhe in pain during the early stages, as her body tried to adjust to the new reality.
I watched her go from eating moderately to having a large appetite because she had to feed the little thing growing inside her.
I saw how difficult it was for her to get out of bed at night; she could no longer lie belly down and had to choose a side to lay on always.
She went from walking like my super model to having an awkward gait. She rolled, cried, yelled, pinched, and lost her head.
But you, this slack jawed idiot are concerned about the size of a pregnant woman's nose.
You do not deserve to be with anyone pure at heart.
You're a lesser son of greater sires.

African Stream visited an internal refugee camp in DRC - to hear the stories of the people inside. The world has turned a blind eye to their plight. An astonishing 7-million Congolese are internally displaced amid genocidal violence in the country’s east. On top of the humanitarian crisis and conflict, some of the women also told us about abuse and rape.
One reason for the Western media’s silence could be that wealthy countries depend on destabilising the Congo. While M23 rebels wreak deadly havoc, the priority will not be improving the dangerous working conditions and minuscule wages of miners - many of them children - digging up the minerals on which today’s modern technology so vitally depends. Western multinationals lord over DRC’s wealth while its people suffer in poverty. Helping out the needy would mean eventually having to pay fair prices for Congolese goods - hence they don’t.
African Stream’s Erick Gavala filed this report from the camp at Kanyaruchinya village in Goma, at the foot of the Nyiragongo volcano. Please share, and let us know your reactions in the comments.
