Vozinha is the face of this World Cup so far 🇨🇻
Unbelievable with Cape Verde, 40yo free agent. Already 2 Brazilian Série B clubs moving. What’s next? Here we go!
Mr Mugume it is! My apologies for the late response, I was in class.
Before I say anything else, I'd like to address the typo in my first post: "There’s no way you let yourself get respected" should have been "There’s no way you let yourself get DISrespected."
You asked for my point and here it is. Today you reported that Nation Media Group's owners committed to "patriotic, balanced and objective" journalism after meeting the CDF, Muhoozi. The man who sent soldiers to shut the newsrooms also was the one who supplied the official story of how the problem was resolved, and you published his version as ‘the news’. That is the problem with your method of reporting.
Your report did not mention that Reporters Without Borders (RSF) and the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) both heavily condemned the shutdown of NTV and Daily Monitor. Muhoozi himself posted on X, in a since-deleted post: "In Uganda, I DO NOT believe in a free press!"
When soldiers close your colleagues' newsrooms and the man who ordered it is the one announcing changes in their organization, by repeating his words you are not practicing balanced journalism, you are only conforming to the status quo. And, to repeat myself, you are allowing yourself to be used as a puppet.
Let me ask you this:
What does it mean to be a journalist in Uganda if the terms under which you operate are dictated by the same army general who shut down the biggest media house in the country at will?
For those of you who don’t understand the script being implemented right now let me help you:
Make them believe. Yes Believe. That’s it. Make them know that I am in charge and powerful.
When he tweets that he will close NTV and indeed he does, when he says I’ll arrest Lukwago and it happens, they’re sending signals. Testing the waters while they prepare for the inevitable.
Once they send fear and no reaction, it works for them. Once they show that they’re powerful and you believe they win indirectly. Such that for any reason when Mzei leaves, which will happen someday in the far future, you won’t have a problem accepting them because they’ve already achieved that.
I know this is street talk but what do I know? I’m just a farmer in Mityana.
Well. Pray for your country as you go to sleep. And after don’t sleep. You might wake up nga you are in South Sudan or kenya.
Gudubayiiiii

Opening Twitter immediately after waking up to check the state of the world is basically our generation’s version of our grandfathers reading the newspaper every morning.
