''I would, in writing this, like to remind the settlers that even if they become rich and change their mother tongue, they should remember the proverb 'Gatagata munonga gateebirwe wa beene mbeho’ “They must never forget the good customs and characteristics of the Bakiga, nor forget their own language; and they must feel in their bones that they are Bakiga, remembering where they used to live.” - Paulo Ngorogoza Mr Paulo Ngorogoza was the first African Secretary General of Kigezi, and he wrote his book 'Kigezi and Its People', in 1967. His reference to Bakiga alone was because they were predominantly the ones who had migrated from Kigezi to other lands such as Nkore, Toro and Bunyoro in the preceding two decades. Had he been alive today, Mr Ngorogoza, one of the most visionary leaders Uganda has produced, would have addressed himself to all Banyakigezi and all Ugandans who have left their homelands. --- On Tue, 3/5/11, Johnson Mujungu <[email protected]> wrote: From: Johnson Mujungu <[email protected]> Subject: 9th Annual ICOB Convention - Early bird registration ending soon To: [email protected] Cc: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], "uganda" <[email protected]> Date: Tuesday, 3 May, 2011, 21:03 Greetings!
