{UAH} Wapakabhulo ,Njuba's Wife and the Luwero Bush war!

Its absolutely amazing how we perceive people differently.  According to Sam Njuba in his book, the Betrayal, James Wapakabhulo (R.I.P) initially never wanted to join the NRA struggle. He despised Museveni's character and ambitions despite having been his roommate at Dar e's salama university. Wapa told Njuba that Museveni was just fighting for himself, laying a trap and concealing his selfish motivations. Though, now that I think about it, I think Wapakabhulo wasn't far from the truth.But getting someone to follow you in a cause is not at all difficult. You just need to find the right words. Indeed Sam Njuba eventually convinced Wapakabhulo to join the cause, using just words. The rest is history!

It's also worth noting that it was Matayo Kyaligonza who recruited Njuba's wife, Getrude, into the struggle rather than Njuba himself. Furthermore , she was in the bush fighting with others while he was in Nairobi as part of the NRA external wing. She seemed to have believed in the struggle more than her husband. No wonder she continued to work for Museveni for decades despite her husband's fall out with the regime........As pretentious as this may sound, there's no way I would let my wife go and fight in the bush when I'm not there myself.  How the late Njuba did it, I will never know. Yes, I am very human and I understand the human struggles and troubles that exist today all are caused by one thing: selfishness, but that would have been an easy decision for me.
