Quote from  The Monitor of  Monday, July 22  2013

"Political commentator, Yoga Adhola, wrote last year for this newspaper, saying that the greatness that Baganda sing about in their anthem is viewed as one of domination and humiliation of other ethnicities in Uganda, and in a way, saying that this greatness was gained at the expense of other ethnicities in Uganda

Mr Adhola's comments pointed to a scenario that while many Baganda may sing about a kingdom with a great past, other ethnicities in Uganda were not very pleased to hear this recited. In response, Mr Walusimbi Ssengendo says that Buganda cannot be seen through the small prism of Uganda because although Uganda is a colonial creation that has existed for 50 years, Buganda has existed for 1,000 years. He adds that Buganda always had a history of assimilation and being accommodative where it welcomed everybody and anybody."
