ژوند یوه داسې لاره ده چې ډېرې نښې لري.

[AFRICAN SIMBA 🦁 @African__Simba]

You said I treated you like shit. So let’s go back to the beginning and look at the facts.

From the moment you arrived in Uganda, I received you at the airport with two Range Rovers. You normally stay in the apartment you use whenever you come to Uganda, but I went out of my way to move you to Skyz Hotel Naguru, a much better and more expensive accommodation, because I wanted you comfortable and properly taken care of.

You then refused the standard room, and instead of arguing with you or telling you to work with what had been arranged, I upgraded you to a suite at an extra cost without complaining.

We also created a lot of content together to promote the shows and your presence in Uganda. Yet there were times we had to keep asking you to post the content. Instead of treating the trip as a professional business engagement where both sides had responsibilities, your attitude sometimes made it feel like you were doing us a favor simply by being there. And I still tolerated it. I still kept things professional.

On your off day, your manager contacted me asking if I could help with a car because you had several activities planned. I cancelled and rearranged my driver’s plans to make sure you had transportation. Your manager herself also told me you had overslept on another occasion. Even then, I kept calm. I never came out publicly to expose you or embarrass you.

Then there was the performance itself. The agreement was for a 45-minute performance, yet you performed for less than the contracted time. There was also disappointment from part of the Ugandan audience because many of the songs performed were unfamiliar to them. I still protected your name.

I could have told the public what happened. I could have said that your own manager told me you had overslept when you were supposed to be preparing. I chose not to.

And before the show, the agreed payment had been fulfilled. So I genuinely don’t understand the claim that I underpaid you.

Then Kenya happened. When one of the shows became unavailable, I didn’t simply walk away. I went out of my way to find another show so you could still have two performances. When your team missed the flight, I stayed up dealing with the agent and trying to find a solution. I even paid the penalty first after your team agreed it would be reimbursed.

So when you say “I treated you like shit,” I have to ask: which part?

Was it receiving you with two Range Rovers?
Was it moving you from your usual apartment into better accommodation?
Was it upgrading you to a suite when you refused the standard room?
Was it creating content with you and continuously asking you to support the promotion by posting it?
Was it arranging transportation for your activities on your off day?
Was it fulfilling the agreed payment?
Was it protecting your reputation when the performance didn’t meet the contracted 45 minutes?
Was it keeping quiet when your own manager told me you had overslept?
Or was it going to Kenya, dealing with the problems around the shows and flights, and still fighting to make everything work?

I could have exposed a lot. I chose to protect you instead.

I am not claiming everything was perfect. But saying I treated you like shit completely ignores the effort, money, time and respect I put into making your stay and these shows work.

The conversations, contracts, payments and records speak for themselves. I don’t need to insult you. I just need to show the facts.

UPDATE: Prince Patrick Mpuuga and Prince Solomon Nyaika, sons of Omusuuga Charles Karumasi, have accused self-interested individuals of hijacking their father and using him to advance their own agenda. They say their father retired during last year’s coronation anniversary, after which the process of identifying and installing a new Musuuga was expected to begin. The princes further argue that the will left by the late King Oyo is binding on all parties involved in the succession dispute. They also challenge the suggestion that a king can be elected, arguing that monarchs are not chosen through voting. Their comments come amid a succession row following the appointment of Prince Edward Kijanangoma Rukidi as the new King of Tooro.

It’s people like you and that silly promoter that make it hard for people to have nice things to say about Uganda. Brought me to your country for so much less than I’m worth and still treated me like shit. But I ignored because of my love for Uganda

I have been compelled by the statement of the Queen Mother (QM), Best Kemigisa, to clarify on succession in Toro. The QM says that I announced a decision of a “self appointed group of clan members”. This is a gross insult to our kingdom and its cultural institutions.

King Oyo died on August 26th, 2026. As per our customs, a general meeting of the babiito clan (the royal clan of Toro Kingdom) was held at the palace (Karuziika) in Fort Portal City on August 28, 2026 to decide the future of the kingdom. More than 100 babiito (princes and princesses) attended. These selected a team of 21 members to form the Royal Succession Committee headed by musuuga (Prince Regent or caretaker).

The committee began its work on August 31st, 2026. Its aim was to find a new king. Please note, that up to the time of Oyo’s death, there had never been any official or even informal communication to the babiito that King Oyo had sired a child, leave alone a son. In the meeting, four candidates were presented:

1- George Desmond Kamurasi, son of Prince Jimmy Mugenyi
2- A purported son Oyo, initially called Jacob Oyo and later changed to Jackson Oyo
3- George David Kamurasi, son of Prince Kato Rukidi
4- Edward Rukiidi Kijanangoma, son of Prince Kijanangoma

Oyo’s purported son was presented to the committee by Patrick Kawamara, brother of the QM. Kawamara had been put on the committee to represent the interests of the QM (otherwise called Nyina omukama owempeeka).

Kawamara was asked to produce a photo of the purported son of Oyo and he could not. The committee asked for the clan of the mother and Kawamara said she is a muhinda. The committee asked for her family in Toro and he declined to disclose it. Non of the relatives on Oyo’s paternal side (ababiito) had ever heard of the existence of this purported son.

Now the committee had gotten two different names for the purported son, there was no photo of him yet all other candidates had to be represented with photos of them. The committee found this dubious and decided to remove Oyo’s purported son from the list of considerations.

After four days of deliberations, a vote was taken by secret ballot. George Kamurasi got 15 votes. The other candidates got one vote each. I personally informed Kamurasi of this selection. He did not decline the throne as alleged on social media. He asked for time to consult his wife and business partners in London. But the kingdom was time barred and decided on the next suitable candidate who was announced last evening.

On Tuesday September 8th, 2026, a meeting was held at the palace that brought together the QM and the Babiito. In attendance were Msgr Mayombo, Fr Oyo, Charles Kamurasi (musuuga), her brothers, Patrick Kawamara, Misaki Kawamara, Mujaguzi, then another brother, plus her young sister.

In that meeting, the QM said she was not going to disclose anything about Oyo’s purported son until the reading of his will. Yesterday the lawyer read the will to the same group. This time Ruth Komuntale, Oyo’s sister and Batebe to the kingdom, and princess Margaret Komubaizi (mukajoyi) attended.

In the will, written on September 14, 2022, there is only a hypothetical heir. But most importantly, in Toro, it is not automatic that a king’s son becomes heir to the throne. He would have to have been born to a Mutoro queen officially married to the king (omugowekitebe). A king cannot sleep with a prostitute on the street or a house maid, produce a son and it is hoisted onto the throne. This is not to suggest that Oyo did any of this. It is simply to say that he was not officially married, and if he left a son, Toro needs to know the mother and her background.

AN APPEAL FOR PEACE AND UNITY IN TOORO

People of Tooro, our leaders, friends of Tooro and fellow Ugandans,

We are living through one of the most painful and delicate moments in the history of our Kingdom.

His Majesty Omukama Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV has passed away, and even before we have laid our King to rest, sharply differing positions have emerged regarding succession to the Crown of Tooro.

On one hand, a group has announced a new King. On the other, there is a Will left by the late Omukama containing his expressed wishes regarding succession.

These are serious matters that must ultimately be addressed. But as Batooro, we must ask whether this is the right moment, and whether the manner in which this is unfolding honours the King whose body we have not yet laid to rest.

Whatever our positions or interpretations of Tooro’s customs and institutions, there must remain a minimum standard of moral decency.

Let us first bury our King.

The Crown of Tooro has existed for generations and will endure long after all of us. Nothing is so urgent that we must sacrifice the dignity of His Majesty’s final journey, the grief of the Royal Family, the unity of our people or the peace of our Kingdom to settle it now.

There will be time to examine the Will, to hear those advancing a different position, and to consider our customs, the applicable law and the proper institutions through which succession should be determined. That process should take place calmly and credibly, not through competing announcements, confrontation, or attempts to establish facts on the ground while our King still awaits burial.

I therefore appeal to everyone involved, regardless of the position they support, to exercise restraint. Tooro is bigger than any one of us, and the Crown is too important to become the prize in a contest conducted in the middle of our mourning.

I also respectfully appeal to the Government of Uganda to provide appropriate guidance and support to ensure that peace, order and sanity prevail during this sensitive period.

This is not a request for Government to choose a King for Tooro. It is an appeal to help protect the conditions within which the relevant cultural, legal and institutional processes can take place peacefully, fairly and without intimidation or disorder. Where necessary, respected elders, cultural leaders and other credible persons should also help guide an orderly way forward.

My appeal is simple: lower the temperature.

We can disagree without destroying one another. We can defend our positions without insensitive language. We can seek the truth without abandoning our culture, dignity and humanity.

History will remember not only how the succession question was resolved, but also how we behaved when our King died.

Let it record that, in a moment of grief and disagreement, the people of Tooro chose restraint, our leaders chose wisdom over confrontation, and we gave His Majesty the dignity of resting in peace before turning to the future of his Crown.

For now, let us mourn together. Let us bury our King with honour. Then, with dignity, fairness and respect, let the truth and the proper process guide what comes next.

In whatever we do, Tooro must come first.
