{UAH} Why are things the way they are? - Africa wildness

 Timbuktu is a sore!

Worse are the tens of public libraries well stocked and left here by the British you can hardly find any today.

When the British started designing Kampala and Entebbe the Africans rejected it - hence Nakivubo settlement that has resulted into Katwe and Kisenyi and to round it up Owino Market - KCCA is on the offensive for being colonial!

Kabaka's Lake has been turned into a pond!

Even living with nature has not taught us the value of botany - Botanical gardens only remains in name - the one who started the gardens will cry endless tears if they lived today!

And it took the Brutish only 30 years to design and build soroti, fort portal , Jinja, Kampala, - it had taken 50 years for Africans to destroy everything!

Interestingly over the many coups we have had in this country - Kololo falls first not because of height but for Africa elite to steal beautiful European residences: There can only be one Kololo – even if Kalangala can provide the similar environs! (palm oil)

The basis of education, law, government, norms, fashion, architecture and other expressions of culture has been thoroughly thought out, defined and implemented.
Europe has a full and clear understanding and explanation of how they arrived at the things they do – the separation of church and state, the basis of laws, the justification for parliamentary democracy, the logic behind their architecture, the purpose of their industrial systems.
The basis of all these systems is laid out in detail in thousands of books, academic papers and policies.
Tied with the philosophical underpinning of their culture is the technological mindset.
Europe was the first continent and its people the first to put at the front and centre of their society the application of their material culture to the solving of practical challenges.
