Ndugu Caleb, Your piece on this discussion is enriching and phillosophical. It is indeed a precursor to forging meaningful unity in diversity for development in the region. I do believe that our leaders and ourselves need to inculcate the notion of unity in the family, in our communities (churches, mosques, schools, etc), in the districts, in West Nile Region, in Uganda, in East Africa and Africa atlarge. Such effort should be based on a practical bottom-up approach and a firm foundation of shared values and respect. However, the quest for unity in West Nile, is a quest for bold social and political revolution with a call for urgent take over of the status quo by positively indoctrinated youth who have genuine capacity. It would need robust determination and sacrifice. It is possible though. West Nile Foundation could rally members to spearhead this noble cause. Adam

No. why? because they think they need it to be united. For us we think in terms of West Nile, Why? because we liberated ourselves from the vestiges of kasamvusim. Andua is right when he talks about division-ism, VAM, mention it. Remember when Terego was returned to Arua, I do not know whether it got married some where and it was being returned to its wife or husband, Councilors in Arua opposed this and claimed people from Terego are not welcome to Arua because they are arrogant, e.t.c. You know why, these people are not enlightened. People from the districts in West Nile who are behind division-ism and hatred are simply primitive. Lets not follow them. For us, lets think in terms of our commonality. We hail from West Nile which is over 600 Kms from Kampala, we eat "Enyasa", "anyu," "idrika", we lack electricity, our students in all our schools compete poorly in National Exams. Our people are very poor, we were all exiled at one point in time, we are a happy people despite the historical deprivations, we are religious and above all we are aspiring to transform our region. Let those in the districts who think that they only want Kakwas to work in Koboko, Aringas to work in Yumbe, VAM in Arua and the Maracha's to Work in Maracha District remain in their drunken stupor and slumber, they will wake up after 1000 years and find Ejiku from Maracha District, ( formerly of Maracha-Terego District, also formerly of Arua District which initially was a district comprising of Vura, Madi, Ayivu, Terego, Maracha, Yumbe, and Koboko which now comprises of few counties ) is not only a retired president of Bushenyi Rotary Club but also the big man in Igara Tea Estates in Bushenyi whose worth is bigger than the miserable LGDP fund given to Arua, Maracha, Koboko, Yumbe, Districts. -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ WestNileNet mailing list [email protected] http://orion.kym.net/mailman/listinfo/westnilenet WestNileNet is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ All Archives can be found at http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
