Netters, does this Kipenji ever have any substantial argumented answer to 
any issues? The guy is really stupid - he keeps ducking issues. No reasoning 
capacity at all.

Musaazi,if I enter into any serious discourse with you,the difference
will not be noticed.
You can continue to delude yourself in your coccoon of self importance
etc etc,but given what the world is today,we need to use internationally
acceptable definitions to give credence to our claims.
You take it or leave it and continue with your jabberings.
God save you from the ignorance that has engulfed you.

your kingsmen as you northerners have done to us on several occasions..most
of you have property and family in Buganda, have they ever been attacked
and\or mistreated on account of being northerners. Even now that you guys
are out of power and given the attrocities commited by your tribesmen
against Baganda during OboteII, one would have expected retribution on a
large scale from Baganda (as your Kingsmen did to Idi Amin's kingsmen and
Baganda, during OboteII), but no, Baganda have not descended to such 
babaric
levels. Anytime your kingsmen get into power, they immediately descend on
Baganda and other southerners, killing our people, raping our women and
destroying our property. To me that is the highest display of inferiority
complex, even obote had to marry a Muganda in order to feel like a human
being. This love/hate relationship is bourne out of the fact that you
northerners hate and envy us but realize (unfortunately) that you can't do
without us...and unfortunately that is a situation you guys have put
yourselves into...it doesn't have to be that way, as Mr. Dada has been
trying to drum into your thick skull. The more you write the more you 
expose
the jealousy you have for Baganda (and southerners in general) eating deep
into your soul...i'm sorry for you.

If you think Baganda are "inferior" and not as sophisticated as we make 
out,
the i suggest you join and support the federalists, that we you and your
"more developed" tribesmen can live Buganda, and go to your area and be
spared the "inferior" culture and habbits of Baganda. Your inferiority
complex, and other petty grudges you have against Buganda will be better
soothed if you had less contact with Baganda...don't you agree Mr. Kipenji
and it is only federalism that can enable that.

What amaizes me about these fellows is that in their hate mongering against
Baganda, they forget (albeit conveniently) that it was because of Kabaka
Mutebi's (and Buganda) support of Obote and his UPC, that Obote won 
Uganda's
maiden elections and became Prime minister, Obote has never (and will 
never)
won an election since, because he betrayed the trust of Buganda. Obote was
the first to play the ethnic card in Ugandan politics and it has been down
hill for UPC ever since...and listening to the likes of Kipeji and
"Mulindwa" one clearly sees, that UPC has never learnt it's lesson and is
therefore perpetually doomed to failure.

Finally, to all you Baganda and southerners who think that Museveni is bad
for Uganda, wait 'till the likes of Kipenji ever get into power in Uganda
then you will know what bad really is...if you pay kin attention to their
postings you get a sneak preview of what to expect if they ever got power 
in
Uganda, that will be the day you will all pray for Museveni to come back.
UPC has NOTHING to offer Uganda and Ugandans except pain, poverty and
disunity, that has been their record and that will always be their record.

Ha, ha ! He has totally lost it. I ask him to tell us about his community 
and all he comes up with is Buganda, Buganda, Buganda. What is this 
obsession with Buganda ? If Buganda is undeveloped as you claim, all we 
wanted was for you to tell us how your area is doing in comparison. But even 
that is not forthcoming. I can only conclude that you have nothing "to show 
by way of progress in your area / community for the last umpteen years." 
This being so, I don't see any logic in your criticism of Buganda when your 
area is far worse off - you could spend your energy trying to improve it 
instead of wasting it in displaying your envy and inferiority complex.

Incidentally, you are one of those who, when they hear the word federalism, 
do something in their pants. You get so scared that you will finally have to 
take the fate of your own area in your own hands instead of being spoonfed 
by the central government, that you don't even believe your community will 
survive under federalism. A pity really, for the federalists' proposals 
foresee help for such areas.

Finally, you did not quote anything. All you did was make some allegations 
about what the Kabaka is supposed to have written. What this is, you didn't 
say. I therefore find it preposterous to be asked to come up 'with info to 
the contrary' when there is no information to be contradicted. As has been 
your habit of late, when it turned out that you don't know what you are 
talking about, you thought up some justification about not wanting to 
spoonfeed us ! The fact is that there is no such written information. What a 
joker !

It is amazing that so called developed and therefore sophisticated
people,the like of you and your purpoted cohorts still expect to be
spoon fed with knowledge.
Are you not by inference just proving that you and your ilk are not only 
mundane but also anachronistic?
Development can not be defined by parameters that are not robust and
that cannot be verifiable in other settings.
What Buganda had was only administrative structures that showed the strata 
into which the rulers could relate with the ordinary folks in their areas.
This same arrangement existed in areas other than Buganda but had a 
different nomenclature which unfortunately for you with your Ntu syntax
innebriation believes since you do not understand it then it could as well 
not exist.
If you look at the parameters that are internationally used as a gauge of 
development,can you tell me what the Infant Mortality rate in Buganda 
is?,the Maternal mortality rate?,the life expectancy in Buganda ,the amount 
of disposal income available to these so called developed people
and area you keep jabbering about just as a few examples?.
If you realise that today unlike in the 1950s and 1960s Baganda are the 
highest consumers of Mwogo and all that they used to refer to as not 
food,do you still not feel ashamed to utter these nonsenses about being 
developed and sophisticated?.
If you also recall that the establishment at the center of your purported
development went on to urge their young girls and women to go sell their
hardware in Europe and wherever inorder to bring income to them,does that 
pass for being developed and sophisticated?
Any society that has no respect for women in their midst and uses them
as entertainers aka Ebimansulo,needs to rethink definitions of what it 
calls development and sophistication.
Have you ever heard of these litany of societal miscues anywhere from those 
areas you believe in your mind are not developed?.
You are putting yourselves in coccoons of a past that has become a mirage 
and thus accepting to be used as political condoms and that is why  today 
Mu7 is re-sterilizing you for further use in his quest for more time in 
Office since he knows very well how gullible you people can be when it 
comes to thinking you can re-invent a wheel.To live is to Change.
From my opening statement,I am not going to spoon feed you on where
Mutebbi said what I quoted because as developed and sophisticated people 
you need to exercise your intellect and take advantage of the super 
information highway and get the neccessary information to refute
what you think is unpalatable to you.
That in a nutshell will make you indeed sophisticated for they say,the 
taste of the pudding is in the Eating!.
Thus to prove me wrong come up with info to the contrary rather than being

Re: ugnet_: Re:t_: Museveni to talk to Mengo\Mukooza

2004-04-23 Thread Adam Dada
Kipenji, a few comments:

1 - what is "disposal" income? Did you incidentally mean to say disposable?
2 - You refer to administrative structures in Buganda - What did we in the 
North have. What Buganda had is the best that mankind has come up with and 
the racist colonialists were stunned by the development of administrative 
structures Buganda had, which were a carbon copy of their own system, 
despite the fact that there had been no previous interaction. I'm however 
not that surprised that this universally acknoledged fact about Buganda has 
escaped your little brain.
3 - Before you ask about the infant mortality rate and sundry in Buganda, it 
would only be fair for you state that statistic in our area in the North - 
thereafter there wont be much mileage in your pursuing this particular 
point, if you know what I mean.
4 - About Buganda's consumption of Muwogo, again it would be prudent first 
to state the dietary habits in our area, including the hunting activity and 
what we hunt, including the little birds and other creatures
5 - About Baganda girls and women "selling their merchandise in Europe and 
wherever", I challenge you to inform the netters where you can sell 
merchandise on the market if it is not saleable - in the same token I 
challenge to let us know if we northerners have a chance to compete in that 
market, which is by the way extremely competitive and only for those that 
can really compete in that market, since the customers are wealthy and 
chosy. You know as I do that the Baganda and their sophistication are a hard 
act to follow, as many of our girls would happily enter the market, instead 
of being raped by Kony and his commanders, if it weren't for the high 
qualities demanded of the trade.
6 - It is now evident to every right thinking netter that you in the habit 
of peddling unsubstantiated rumours, having failed to answer to extremely 
straight-forward questions from Mr Ssemakula about the source of your info. 
That's why it would have been extremely difficult for you to get a decent 
mark in any institution of higher learning and thus your complex of passing 
off as a knowledgeable person by reading dictionaries, including in 
languages you know absolutely nothing about.

7- You have displayed the highest degree of idiocy and uncovered your 
ignorance to the extent that there will be few doubters about that fact.

Adam

This message is actaully meant for the dustbin and I will
next time do exactly that.
In London or wherever you are yakking from,how is that helping you
develop Buganda?
You should henceforth stop being obtuse and do more meaningful 
things.
Envy is something very foreign to me and hence your presumptions
are very misplaced.
Start thinking beyond the chronic mediocrity that appears to have engulfed you and your ilk.
Ciao!.

Omar Kezimbira <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Museveni to talk to Mengo, New 
Vision, 21st April 2004

By Alfred Wasike
PRESIDENT Yoweri Museveni has said he is willing to discuss with the 
Buganda Kingdom officials at Mengo on how much powers they should hold on.
“I am ready to discuss with my Mengo friends to determine how much 
authority they want to hold. I have no problem with discussion but the 
power must be shared rationally,” Museveni said while commissioning the 
first phase of a sh2.7b office complex at the Wakiso district headquarters 
yesterday.

Vice-President Prof Gilbert Bukenya and Minister for the Presidency, Alhaj 
Ali Kirunda Kivejinja, were among the guests.
“But I strongly object to all power being usurped from the people at the 
villages, sub-counties and districts and going to regional tiers. Why 
should I, a mwanainchi walk from Buwekula to Mengo or Parliament in Kampala 
to have my problems solved? I have a son called Muhoozi. I can’t usurp the 
authority of running his house. I can only advise him,” he said as
his supporters yelled, “ Museveni for 3rd term”, “No change” while 
displaying combined three-finger and thumbs-up signs.

Museveni (right), said decentralisation had empowered Ugandans to determine 
development in their areas. He attacked exiled UPC leader Apolo Milton 
Obote for tricking the DP and other political actors of the 1960s and 
concentrating power at the centre and plunging the country into turbulence 
by abrogating the constitution in 1967.

“He was so greedy that he was even appointing gombolola chiefs. But when we 
went to the bush, we changed all that by restoring power to the people. But 
some people were against decentralisation,” Museveni said, triggering 
massive cheers.
He said the actual determinants of Uganda’s destiny were ordinary people.

“It is wananchi who are the judges of Uganda’s present and future. Those 
judges like Kanyeihamba can only judge cases of theft of goats. They can’t 
manage the cases of politics. it is the voters who are supreme. It is not 
Kanyeihamba, or the MPs. It is the people who are the best judges because 
they have the power.

“So when I hear certain people saying wanainchi don’t have the power, I 
really wonder what is wrong with them. Those who want to dilute the 
people’s power should just shut up. Leaders are servants. They can’t have 
the same status as their bosses, the people they lead. That is why we went 
into combat,” he stressed.
He said as a result of the Movement’s electoral success in the 1996 and 
2001 polls, “We have used that power entrusted to us to bring development 
from the centre to the people.

In 1986, we used to collect sh5b in taxes. Now we collect sh1,600b and soon 
we shall collect sh1,800b. There are Government efforts, private sector-led 
by investors and encouragement of household incomes to eradicate poverty,” 
Museveni said.
