Deportation/ Ugandans
Yesterday out there I witnessed another of the many deportations I have witnessed over the years.
A young Ugandan lady was being carried by 5 security personnels into the plane and the cry could make anybody shade a tear.
She was saying, am leaving my child behind, I need my child, help me. I engaged the security guys, felt bad being powerless.
The security persons told me she was lying but the pain of seeing a young Ugandan lady in that state was unbearable, I think they drugged her eventually.
In my head, I was like let me work hard to atleast maintain the jobs I have created, it’s not easy doing that anywhere in the world but even harder in Uganda.
I know we sit back and look at the political class( both sides), these guys are also looking for jobs if you observe so well. It’s a much easier access to taxes enterprises are pushed for.
The world out there is becoming more harsh to Africans, I told you in Madrid, on landing, police men with guns were at the 2 exits checking documents.
On reaching entebbe, I saw so many other young people leaving the countries and my mind rushed to what I experienced yesterday.
I often speak to young Ugandans while traveling and I ask what they are doing in those countries, they are mainly in hospitality and general services.
When some young people argue with me here on X when I say we all should push for branding of uganda, my heart sinks in pain because they don’t know how these things work.
When a country is well branded, open market opportunities grow so fast and anybody with a skill or desire to learn, will easily tap into that. I don’t know how I can explain this?
When you are young and get an opportunity don’t waste it, don’t dance away the earnings. The world is rough out there and isn’t going to get easier.
When you handle the little you earn well, it grows over time, you are able to look after yourself in the short run and in the long run, you will be able to support one or 2 others.
That’s exactly what I have done and still do in life. Every time I remember where I have come from, I work even harder and it’s just the truth. What I do isn’t easy at all, it’s hard, very hard.
I also called my first born son after seeing the deportation and I told him, I know you work hard, be consistent, focused because it’s tough out there. Had same discussion with my last born today morning.
Yes, they see how hard I work but I must continuously tell them. And they get my point. They are starting to say Dad, we are seeing some of the things you have spoken about happen.
We all have 24hrs, so don’t sit back and wait for some other person to do it, ask yourself, how am I helping in this situation.
@MohUtd_ Garnacho needs to be up there. In that squad he shows more passion and desire than most players. In a better team his performance would be great.
@AndrewMwenda I usually see people dumping rubbish in the water trenches in front of their shops. As much as @KCCAUG has work to do, Ugandans need to get serious. Sometimes we contribute to our own mischief.
@Kahlissee It's impossible to imagine how evil a human heart can be, but Israel is the very converse of that picture. The devil himself must get shocked at how atrocious and nefarious Isreal is and how western governments applaud it's vile evil.
