{UAH} THE "ADS" AND "DIS" ADVANTAGES OF IMPRACTICABLE "PEOPLE POWER"

By the subject header I meant advantages and disadvantages of multiple ethnicities in one geographical location. 

For Uganda there are not many advantages except one. And that is the pride of being known to identify with a country made up of 54 from and the zillions of them exhibiting diverse cultures, all concentrated in one tiny area ruthlessly demarcated as Uganda. 

Nothing else.

The disadvantages, though, are innumerable but one that comes to mind for the purpose of this posting is its strength at tearing the same people apart. Forget about tribal rivalries and the downtrodden or negligible ones of them. Whats important about this is what we are incapable of doing simply bcos we are one too many in cultures and peoples. 

A question for you reading this. Knowing absolutely that "People power: is forever mightier than gunpowder and sword, can Uganda dare the Bourkina Faso (BF) to topple its oppressive dictatorial government?

Before you recklessly answer this question I should want to remind you that Ugandans have already tried to topple Museveni's NRM dictatorship several times but what you didnt know was reason for their failures is what you are about to know now.

Indeed, I would first want to commend one of our tribal entities, Buganda, for the its daring ventures into many bloody indirect attempts to topple Museveni's government either bcos of their king or bcos of their lands, burial grounds or sheer demand for respect and pride.

Buganda has been waging wars against NRM without rest of our peacock glossy tribal pride in multiplicity and, matter of fact, there has been tones or blood and lives shed by just Buganda only for its martyrs to be referred to by Otafire and rest of Museveni's Drum Majors as "lazy, unemployed hoodlums". Martyrs dont come out of religious sacrifices only. They come out of any genuine cause one is killed for.

As for me, nope. They werent hoodlums bcos they knew very well what they were up to. Worrying question for you and me the non-Muganda is, in reflect, would you have propped up this Baganda uprising to the level of People Power intent on toppling the dictator and his "We Fought" Drum majors at large in order to do the Bourkina Faso to his oppressive regime?

Before you answer Yes or No, get back to our pride in the multiplicity of people and cultures. We (the non-Baganda), matter of fact, lost the opportunity to effect real change in Uganda without gunpowder when we deliberately failed to support the Intifada (stone throwers) who were predominantly Baganda youths just bcos we felt their uprisings have all been for specific causes only beneficial to the Baganda yet there could have been a major advantage of using the same to effect CHANGE.

Ugandans are a redundant lazy and jealous people who dont know their straights and dont know what they, as ONE people, can do for daily change or change when necessary withpout relying on the military.

Many here dont know why Amin's regime truly fell. For many hours Askholes have ranted many theories but after many punctuated hours of reflections and retreats I have come to believ in an earlier reason mentioned elsewhere here in UAH that Amin's bloody regime (not any different from what we have now) fell bcos of one simple neglected reason. Amin's regime fell bcos just one tribe did the fatherfucker in when it dropped gloves. It was only when the predominant Kakwa people realized that they were the backbone of his regime and yet he had begun to question their loyalty not with words but with silent disappearances (aka, murders).

Yesss... Uganda can mount a successful BF on Museveni's NRM but ONLY if we all agree to to agree and never disagree to agree on a united "People Power" without "tribes" for the sake of CHANGE. For this change to happen we should simply wait for the zillion terms in office that Museveni and NRM will constantly announce, Knowing we blew away many chances for this chancge by not propping the Kasubi debacle is the one thing we should be ready to take advantage of should the Baganda again arise and this, bcos these Gandas are indeed the foundation of Uganda population-wise.

For once and the start with many to come, I SALUTE BUGANDA AND THE BAGANDA.

A few years ago I commented on an article that triggered sensitive nerves on the legal and government minds in Uganda earning me an invitation to present on a sensitive matter in the country on the health of our fellow citizens. It was about the daily deaths of mothers and babies in Uganda's hospitals just bcos families couldnt pay up for doctors and midwives standing heartlessly watching these mothers and babies die bcos their families couldn't afford the bribe fees. 

My comment was directed to both but targeted the unsympathetic legal minds's who themselves couldnt take advantage of these daylight murders to sue the governmental at large.

Today, this is happening in Uganda. Lawyers are going pro bono representing genuine cases of neglect and bribes. Today I kick the bucket in Canada the first thing my family would have to investigate before worrying over my sudden or imminent departure is about errors inn the chain of events that led to my departure. Little do you know that you could and can make your family proud out here with just a small tiny simple error of judgment and recklessness. 

With that I call on Buganda and Uganda at large to revise and seek maximum compensation over lives snapped out by Museveni's trigger-happy cops.

Together We Can.
