Museveni and how the rap game has influneced him.

at 1:27 AM

He rapped like a gangster and people wined to his track during the election time even the so called bars that i visit played the song and people danced to it. To me i was wondering whether the stories we used to hear when we were young of the man turning into a cat and getting lost in the bush while fighting for the so called liberation were true. At his age this dude was rapping better than some wanna be 17 year old cousin of mine.

Me its the rap scared me, because having gone to christian schools i knew that anything to do with rap is gangster and anything gangster is bad, i started seeing Savo in the leagues of 50 Cent , then T.I the man who was recently in jail. I analyzed all the rapping moguls that i know and well they are damn crazy or they end up in controversial situations. Let me look at the RAP game and give you the reasons as to why the country is in this state of jeopardy.

Rap is so ignorant and trendy and takes no intelligence to follow just listen to the lyrics en bounce around. So here the man knew that very few Ugandans are intelligent (sorry if this hurts you but you know its a fact) so bringing the rap game to you would mean you would follow. So we all have to follow what he says whether good or bad.

Let me be positive : rap is to entertain, so i can entertain you. Yes you can really entertain Ugandans with poverty and tear gas.

Rap is money , hoes and drugs : at least 3 out of five rap songs have these things, how will you manage to bring them to the Ugandans, well for money we have to reserve it for the jets (lol. look at this swagger nigger wanna buy fighter jets) , en the hoes may be you dont know why Nsaba Buturo resigned (ok , now i know why the HIV demographics in Uganda are rising again.) . Dude lets talk about the drugs cause i feel like sniffing rite now. The drugs get no worry you may sniff tear gas daily if want.

Rap is really easy to stereotype something you don't fully understand.so i dont know whether its easy to understand why we may spend 3 billion on the inauguration or swear in ceremony.

Any rapper would like to live or copy cat a past leggendso for u we dont know who exactly you wanna copy cut but style up your game your losing site , game is tite on the street new kids on the block may take you off the billboard.

So fellow villagers stop asking your selves why everything is in this state in Uganda, i think its the Rap influence. So want another Rap?

KIBOGA - The retired Bishop of Mityana Diocese Wilson Mutebi, has castigated the parliamentarians who voted to scrap the presidential term limits in 2005. Bishop Mutebi warned that if the term limits are not reinstated by parliament, the country could implode in future. “Uganda may not survive what’s happening now in the Middle Eastern countries like Libya, Yemen, Tunisia and Egypt,” the retired prelate said.

UPDF to be dragged to court over land

at 1:39 AM

Kyankwanzi - The district leadership is ready to battle with the army in court if the latter attempts to evict over 400 families allegedly settled on land belonging to the Uganda Peoples Defence Forces (UPDF). The terse resolve comes in the wake of Parliament’s Public Accounts Committee chaired by Nandala Mafabi, grilling officers of the UPDF, as to why they had failed to evict the families from the said land in Kyankwanzi sub-county, Kyankwanzi district.

In November last year, President Obama released a strategy to guide US support for stopping the violence perpetrated by the LRA, which terrorizes remote communities in central Africa. This strategy was

Cash-strapped EC to hold LC1 elections

at 1:38 AM

A seemingly cash-strapped Electoral Commission has said that elections for the LC 1, II and LCIV councillors will take place after June, after the budget for next year is read. “Elections for administrative units (LC I, II and IV) across the country will not be conducted in this financial year; the Commission shall conduct these elections in the next financial year,” EC Secretary Sam Rwakoojo, (pictured) said at a press briefing last Friday.

To justify the delay, Rwakoojo said that

Corrupt govt officials anger teachers

Muslim scholars discuss wars

at 11:40 PM

At a time when most of the Arab world is engaged in wars that have also affected its neighbouring countries, the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the Islamic University in Uganda (IUIU) recently organised a two-day seminar on Islam and International Humanitarian Law.

The seminar focused on International Humanitarian Law and Islam with an effort to reconcile the two. “Given the fact that the world is entangled in humanitarian crises caused mostly by wars, the majority of

What happened to zebra crossings on city roads?

at 11:35 PM

What has gone wrong with our government? They have totally lost concern over the lives of our school going children. In the past we used to have Zebra crossings on almost all high ways and major roads in the city. The zebra-crossings are no were to be seen,it has now been left to good Samaritans to help these kids to the other side of the road.

I appeal to telecom companies to take the lead on this, they should use the resourcesavailable to them for a good cause, They have a number of

Reasons for food price increment

at 11:35 PM

One would wonder why many Ugandans can have only one meal per day because of food price increments yet our country Uganda is considered to be with some of the best natural soils to nature agricultural produce to
feed the domestic as well as the foreign market.

The answer to this is simply that today’s generation, considered to be energetic enough to till the soil are not interested in farming anymore considering it to be a dirty job and leaving it to old people who have no energy to

Uganda can survive with 22 Ministers

at 11:30 PM

Mr Yoweri Museveni, Uganda’s President Elect (re-elect actually) will be sworn in on Tuesday May 12, thirty eight days from today. The Ugandan media, betraying their dwindling penchant for speculation, have not been on President Museveni’s case this time. I will assume the mantle for speculation; if I were Mr Museveni, I would re-organise the cabinet to suit the exacting administrative and managerial demands of the time. I would have only twenty one (well, 22 including the President)

DNA test should be made accessible

at 11:29 PM

The tale of Shamila Nakintu might seem surreal but the events that occurred can happen to any one of us. She was arrested and spent a week in jail over the kidnap of her own son, Ronald Katende Junior after an imposter; Harriet Nakafeero claimed to be the rightful mother of the child.

After a DNA test carried out by government medics, her innocence has finally been proven. I can’t even begin to envision the pain that a mother feels after 9months of carrying a baby in her womb, labour

Gaddafi can as well be a Mufti in Uganda

at 11:24 PM

There has been talk on where embattled revolutionary and leader of the Libyan Jamahiriya Col. Gaddafi, would flee to, but such a man as he is, should not be worried of where to seek asylum because the supportive hand and unending philanthropy that he has shown to Uganda, indeed renders him welcome at home.

While at Munyonyo early last year at the African Union summit, Gaddafi showed he was at home here in Uganda, with good grace he is reported to have lit a charcoal stove, fetched water at

What are the new Government’s priorities?

at 11:16 PM

NRM members of parliament have been ordered by the president to approve a transaction worth Shs1.7 trillion to buy fighte jets and other military hardware. It is not known even to the MPs who needs these jets, why and when government will use them.

But it is understood that government needs the sophisticated Russian-made jet fighters to strengthen the country’s national air defense capability. This figure is about 23 percent of the country’s Shs 7 trillion budget for 2010/2011 which is

East African currency not coming soon

at 11:09 PM

The East African Community’s dream of establishing a single currency by 2012 might not be realised after financial consultants warned that the bloc risks serious consequences if it rushed into a monetary union. Consultants have warned that should the monetary union be hurried, “it could cost the EAC partner states dearly”.

Local, regional and international financial experts are concurring with the European Union advisers that the EAC is not ready yet for a monetary union. According

MOROTO - Police says that about 60 cases related to domestic violence against women had been reported at the station since January. Agnes Amma, the second in-charge of the Family Protection Unit in Moroto, said that men in areas like Katanga, Acholi Inn and Katamukono villages lead in wife-battering.

Amma added that the police had embarked on sensitising men against beating their wives. She was reacting to a case in which a wife accused her husband of torture. And Francis Oketcho, the

Why are mothers murdering their children?

at 3:43 AM

Last week, I read a story in one of the dailies that a mother in Karamoja had murdered her child. Irukunnyang Lowakori smashed her five-month-old baby against a rock and killed it. She took her own life after. Lowakori was fed-up of her husband’s abuses and torturous humiliations as the latter would argue that he bought her with cows and thus had the prerogative to treat her savagely!

The woman could only avenge her husband’s humiliations and torture by killing her child! Not so long

Museveni swearing in extravaganza is apalling

at 3:33 AM

I read with dismay that a whole UShs30 billion is being budgeted for the swearing in ceremony of the President elect, Yoweri Museveni. As I read this, I think of our economy and all that the families are going through trying to keep jobs, put food on the table and wonder if all of the families in Uganda have basic needs such as housing, clothes and clean drinking water. Can these families afford to be fed in abundance without needing the help of government and relief organisations?

If so

It’s right to appreciate interns

at 3:30 AM

I strongly support Didimos Okidi’s letter that was published in The Razor newspaper entitled” Govt can use PAYE to pay interns” dated April 1, 2011 because I might have been one of the victims during university times.

The writer recommended the payment of interns in the different organisations that have given them space to carry out their practice. It is right for the interns to be given a little salary as suggested by Okidi for the work they are offering the company during their

Mulago hospital guards were unethical and unprofessional

at 3:16 AM

There is a common saying in almost all local languages that “a chief has forty days, once they are out, you get nabbed”.
The 40 days of the three guards of Mulago Hospital, identified as Gabriel Ssempala, Stephen Okurut and Noah Okiror, expired when State House detectives detained them over allegations of asking for and receiving a sh6, 000 bribe on the morning of March 31st, 2011.

This unit saved the public of the struggle and pain people go through to enter the hospital to see their

Poverty should not be an excuse to commit a crime

at 3:12 AM

When I read the story about one Nteziyaranye, I almost shed tears. "Poverty is not a crime nor a sin" People should not at any cost use the current situation of this severe biting poverty, immeasurable high commodity prices and or any other excuse as an advantage to destroy their future, name and families.

Imagine, how a 32 year old man at the same time a father can forget about his self dignity and decide to steal property worth Shs 2 million just to sell it at only Shs8,000. This is very

Corruption will make or break NRM

at 3:10 AM

Government's renunciation of corruption and its professed bold fight against the monster were roundly brought into question on Thursday when Parliament chose to shamelessly forgive all ministers implicated in the Chogm related impropriety. Who is Government and president fooling by the much touted zero tolerance to corruption policy? In the Chogm case, the tolerance or intolerance to corruption, whichever way one looks at it, was planned at the highest echelon of the party, the NRM caucus in

MP pins minister over forest giveaway

Beatrice Atim Anywar, the fiery shadow minister for environment has urged Maria Mutagamba, the Minister of Water and Environment, to resign.

High prices dampen Easter mood

at 2:56 AM

Solomon Manano is one of the many jobless youth who throng the central business district of Kampala, every morning, in search any odd job that can earn him some money to buy food.

But as the year strolls on, it is becoming harder for this 27-year-old to meet even the most basic needs of his young family of three. “Life is becoming really hard for me. I can come to town as early as 7.00 am but at the end of the day, I have just two or three coins in my pocket. Which kind of food can

Oil raises Kilembe Mine’s stakes

at 2:54 AM

Four years after government mooted a plan to sell off the Kilembe Mines Limited (KML) the deal still hangs in balance. It is emerging that the discoveries of oil in the rift valley region and new technology that can extract cobalt from copper tailings have perfectly pushed up the value of Kilembe mines.

Sources familiar with this stalled transaction say Kilembe mines falls in the oil belt and also the recent government mineral aerial survey revealed new findings forcing government back on

Uganda Air Cargo Corporation, a firm owned by the ministry of Defence is adding a second C-130 plane to boost its airfreight business. The move positions the cargo carrier to be more competitive in transporting goods overseas—a business currently dominated by foreign operators.

at 2:36 AM

When Centenary Rural Development Trust began operating as a rural credit institution at Nsambya Catholic Secretariat, not even its promoters anticipated its rapid transformation into a commercial bank that would own a 13-storey ultra-modern headquarters in the heart of Kampala City.
