• The Baganda have mastered the art of love in verbal, action and literary expressions. Just listen to their music. Exposure has made them competitive

The Sex Poll result today is about tribes. In a poll conducted in July, about 800 respondents were asked which tribe impresses as the most romantic, violent, fertile, dependable in financial matters and arrogant.

A total of 248 responses were sampled randomly and feedback data analysed aggregately using the software known as SPSS.

Obviously, attributes of romance, fertility, faithfulness, violence and having a good partner are individual merits. But over time, people tend to brand groups, especially tribes, as good or bad at something. These prejudices are true for every society.

When Saturday Vision carried out the sex survey, the tribal prejudices were glaring. And when social brands are labeled on dating attributes, you want to know because there must be a reason why Baganda and not Karimojong, are described as romantic.

For purposes of this survey, respondents' tribes were captured to let us know which tribe voted for the other. Usually, the options are so varied, but the analysis captured the majority vote.

THE FAITHFUL TRIBE

Overall, respondents voted for the Acholi as the most trusted with love. They received majority votes from Bafumbira, Baganda and fellow Acholi. Their Gold medal did not surprise Justus Bagonza, a social critic and lecturer at Makerere University, who also has an Acholi wife.

"Until the displacement into camps in northern Uganda, the Acholi were less influenced by the temptation of sexual deviation. Even now, their cultural respect of elders still shines. None of my friends with Acholi wives has any trust issues. Our spouses are satisfied by whatever we can afford."

The silver medal went to the Bakiga, who were voted for by the Sebei, the Langi and their fellow Bakiga. No wonder their men leave them alone and wander the whole country, looking for money over long periods of time. Yet, infidelity squabbles remain negligible. The Iteso took the bronze with votes from mainly the Basoga, Lugbara and themselves. The majority of voters being women.
