@DrAyumeCharles @USEmbassyUganda @usgov @DrAyumeCharles we don't need anyone to believe in us! We're enough!

[Eseza Mulyagonja @eseza]

@cobbo3 But Charles, the Kenyans chased away our milk. Remember? And several other things. But the wheel of regional integration always turns. There'll always be new markets if we care to find them!

[Eseza Mulyagonja @eseza]

@TimKalyegira @beuatifulAfrica True it doesn't. But changing the narratives that were deliberately crafted by the colonialists must start somewhere. Every small change matters

[Eseza Mulyagonja @eseza]

@DierichMar50078 @BRICSinfo @grok Africa population data doesn't support this assertion. But you wouldn't check it for yourself. Would you?

[Eseza Mulyagonja @eseza]

@DierichMar50078 @BRICSinfo No it doesn't. Dummy. Not in this case

[Eseza Mulyagonja @eseza]

@CEOEastAfrica And the Lord said 'YES'. And we all say Amen

[Eseza Mulyagonja @eseza]

I couldn't agree more. There's a time for everything!

To everyone outside Tooro, especially the keyboard warriors publicly dissecting Tooro’s succession and every whisper around the throne, please allow us to mourn our King. We, the Batooro, are hurting.

In barely a week, we have been asked to process more than grief should demand of a people at once: the death of our King, reports that he left behind a Prince and heir, the reported rejection of that Prince, Royal Clan meetings, succession, the character of a possible new King and the future of the throne. Our grief should not have to compete with breaking-news alerts.

Amid all of this, the most important story risks being lost: King Oyo died, and we have not even buried him.

For us, this is not simply a fascinating story of royal succession. At home lies our King in a coffin. Those of us who grew up with Oyo, in homes where his name and image were part of our understanding of Tooro, are still trying to imagine a Kingdom without him.

Succession matters. The questions surrounding it deserve serious examination, and our customs and institutions will eventually determine what comes next. But surely there is room to honour the life that has just ended before becoming consumed by the person who may occupy the throne next.

Please allow us these few sacred days to grieve our King. There will be time to understand what comes next. Right now, Tooro is still saying goodbye to Oyo.

May King Oyo rest in eternal peace, and may Tooro be allowed the dignity to mourn him. Sleep well my King🕊️

The Lord gave us a King and the Lord took him away. Blessed be the Name of The Lord

[Watoto Church @watotochurch]

Our thoughts and prayers are with the Royal Family, the people of Tooro Kingdom, and the nation of Uganda following the passing of His Majesty King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV.

“The LORD is close to the brokenhearted...” - Psalm 34:18

May God comfort all who mourn.

I don't think it's an ignorance driven by laziness. It's about shaping narratives around people they disdain and despise. It's got subliminal, age-old racist undertones. And when you feel that way about a people and what matters to them it's best you keep quiet. They should have let us tell this story ourselves.

Job 13:15
Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. Even so, I will defend my own ways before Him.
When life is hard, when I want to sit in the dust, clap my hands sideways in astonishment, weep, wail and pull at my hair in anguish, that Bible verse points me back to The One who knows the end from the beginning. Then I am strengthened @Ronkawamara

[Ron Kazooba Kawamara @Ronkawamara]

I have struggled to find words for the death of my King, His Majesty King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru IV. P

I have seen him grow all his life. I watched him learn to play football and basketball, ride bikes, go to school, leave for university, graduate, and, year after year, grow into his Crown. I watched the boy become a man, and the man become a remarkable King.

We were supposed to be planning his wedding, not his funeral.

Perhaps that is what makes this so difficult to accept. None of us believed the King would die. Even His Majesty believed he was coming home. On the day he passed, we had expected him to be discharged. Only a week earlier, he was still speaking with doctors about new treatment options and participating in the daily family prayer hour. He was happy that Arsenal had started the season with a stronger squad. He was looking forward to this year’s Empaango.

He was still making plans. Still hopeful. Still living.

Oyo loved Tooro deeply. He loved Uganda. He loved his family, and he had a special closeness with our children. But above everything else, he loved God.

He was truly a servant King: humble, gentle, and remarkably close to ordinary people. No one was too small to matter to him. He knew the names of his farm workers and bodyguards, and remembered people he met along the way. The Crown never made him distant from people; it made him feel more responsible for them.

Today, our hearts are especially with the Queen Mother Akiiki. She raised a young boy carrying an extraordinary burden into a gentleman and a great King. What she gave Tooro, through him, can never truly be repaid.

His loss is immeasurable. For our family, the pain is almost impossible to describe. For Tooro, an era has ended far too soon.

But Oyo’s legacy will not die.

It will live in his young son. It will live in the people he served, in the causes he championed, in the Kingdom he loved, and in the contribution he made to Uganda. And above all, it lives with God, the King of Kings whom he loved and served.

I will remember many things about His Majesty. But I will also remember Amooti Oyo: my cousin, my friend, the boy I watched grow up, the Arsenal fan, the father, the son, the brother, and the gentleman behind the Crown.

We were not ready to say goodbye.

Rest in eternal peace, Your Majesty.

The King is dead. The Crown mourns, but the Crown stands.

Long live the King.

Today, I have received a cheque of UGX 53.5 million from @WatotoChurch in support of the proposed Mobile Water Clinic, an initiative aimed at bringing healthcare closer to communities across the islands.

The Ssese Islands comprise 83 islands, while the Buvuma Islands comprise 54. Many communities continue to face challenges accessing healthcare due to the high cost and limited availability of water transport.

Following His Majesty the Kabaka’s instruction, I visited the islands to engage with communities and understand their challenges firsthand. It was during these engagements that His Majesty encouraged us to explore a mobile water clinic that can move from island to island, bringing essential healthcare services closer to the people.

Health is a prerequisite for social and economic transformation. We have so far raised approximately US$60,000 towards this initiative, and I sincerely thank Watoto Church for this generous contribution, as well as for the excellent organisation of the celebrations marking His Majesty the Kabaka’s 33rd Coronation Anniversary.

Together, we can make healthcare more accessible to our island communities. 🙏🏾

[Eseza Mulyagonja @eseza]

@cpmayiga @watotochurch This @cpmayiga is a major shift in paradigms. The Body of Christ must impact community, rather than take from it or bring out the perpetual begging bowl. @watotochurch is now the epitome of the true gospel of Jesus Christ! We bless the Lord as others learn and follow

@pkahill Well said @pkahill

[Eseza Mulyagonja @eseza]

@WKirumirah @HonByamukama ZYes. I have. Friday. That's just two days ago and I saw nothing unfortunately!

[Eseza Mulyagonja @eseza]

@HonByamukama Sir,
What's happening to the great rebuild of the Kyaliwajala-Kira- Kasangati road? There's nothing going on there, nothing has happened for a year and the people who live and work in the area are just eating dust everyday. Is the work dead or you can explain? Or you can trigger a restart?Such a disappointment after the project was flagged off to great fanfare! @MoWT_Uganda over to you.
