Dr Edward Kayondo
At least your writing is positive for you know where you failed and how to
repair it. And on this one I am with you for let us call on all Baganda to
revive our past. Let us start to fight with spears for then we were winning
wars, let us continue with the expansionism for we will kill any one that does
not want to move from our emancipation process, let us kill the political
parties but yes let us abolish the religion in Buganda. In fact we have pushed
the kusamira to a very right direction, with babies being buried in buildings.
Let us abolish the central government but let us train our children to fight
the battles for Ssabassaja Mutebi. Yes let us close those damn schools that
produced the imbeciles of educated Ugandans that killed the old Buganda we had.
Buganda was powerful with out Makerere University why the hell do we need it,
turn it into a rental complex.
May Buganda prosper sir, I am with you on this one.

Cry, the beloved kingdom
The tears of Buganda will forever flow. The once celebrated invitation
by Mutesa to the British colonialists should be blamed for the matters at
stake. Federalism equates to Bugandaism in times at hand. The battle to become
autonomous was lost way back in the Speke era and its high time Buganda
reinvented its self. We lost it. There was yet a time when Buganda was greater
than Uganda, Buganda was greater than any other tribe, Buganda had an army and
a navy, Buganda had powers to fight on all its borders and take all the land it
needed, commerce at its peak, Buganda was Uganda. Then it all changed. During
this time however the dark side was that the Kabaka and the chiefs had enormous
power, they could kill, posses anybody, any piece of property with no questions
asked. The Kabaka was a real lion, the bakopi were real servants’. Then it all
changed.
The now well quoted Agreement of 1900 had a hidden effect of giving
power to the people. With land ownership, the land that was given to the chiefs
in the beginning started trickling down to the bakopi. The sons of the bakopi
eventually had a chance to get educated and started excelling in all ways.
Political parties started sprouting, the newly introduced religions created
even a greater divide there was a rebellion within Buganda. By the time we got
our independence Buganda had already sold its soul, its foundation destroyed,
its army weakened and eventually resolved, the Kabaka was reduced to another
leader among many, and the light of Buganda was dramatically dimmed. The new
era of the central government was fully established. We had no NRM then. Our
enemy then was the real cause of what we have now. Years have passed, many have
died, kings were exiled, died and born. Then history was resurrected. Many of
us sons of this generation grew with a central government. It’s hard to explain
what an independent Buganda within Uganda actually means, it’s hard to imagine
the logistics of dealing with two countries as one, it’s hard to be separated
from our brothers in Uganda, we are now the peoples of Uganda, some being
baganda many more not, yet those who still have the spirit of the ages, their
feet soles scratched by our sleeping ancestors who sold our land, those who are
positioned to benefit more, those who want to fight modern battles with spears
and shields still continue with a dream long lost.
The best for our children is something different. In these battles will
be lost the love for a special culture, the history of a people who once
reigned like Lords, the furious, strong willed and well administrated people
will be muddied. The struggle to rebuild the pyramids with no servants to carry
the heavy load is purely doomed to failure. Cry, the beloved kingdom, cry for
those who don’t get it, buried once resurrected again to be killed by those who
pretend to care. Cry, the beloved kingdom, those who you once trampled are now
breastfeeding you, yet your offspring’s have turned into a cancer and
destroying you. You once were, hoped to be again, but will never be. Cry, the
beloved Kingdom.
