WHY AFRICA NEEDS TO BE COLONIZED AGAIN

WHY AFRICA NEEDS TO BE COLONIZED AGAIN: Of recent, i developed some interest in reading about technology, much as am not in that field, but i have been reading a lot about such things especially, things to do with sending man to the moon, mars, Rocket Science, How the International s

Space Station works.. and all the literature there is about Deep Space.. It made me realize how Africa is still really behind. Then I asked myself, How come Africa's leaders' biggest attention and gazillions of money are mostly spent on how to remain in power. Nearly 3/4 of Africa's Presidents have been leaders for decades and decades, and still counting.. with all the money and raw materials.. we have.. We can't even think of manufacturing small things like needles phone. Other countries like America, China, Russia, spend billions of money on such research and technology. In 1969, an American was landing on the moon, That was 7 years later after Uganda' had declared itself independent and preparing itself for #Steady_Progress. 46 years later, somewhere in Ntungamo District Uganda, man is beating and killing fellow man because he doesn't support a candidate of his choice. Somewhere in Burundi, Man is killing a fellow man, spilling innocent blood, because one person is is selfishly thinking he is the only person fit to lead the country. Wheresoever in Mbarara, someone is busy covering and plucking posters off the wall of a certain candidate he doesn't support. SSomehwrein Kampala, someone is being kidnapped and taken to unknown locations because he doesn't support a certain candidate. Somewhere in a church buildings, someone is busy on their knees with arms folded waiting for a miracle to happen. Somewhere in Mbarara a group of people are walking around with Sacks of money.. giving out some handouts.. to people so they could vote for specific candidates.. Somewhere in a shrine, a certain man is busy slaughtering a neighbor's son as sacrifice to get riches, AND Am somewhere wondering, with this kind of reason whether Independence of such African countries was ready enough or premature. Am trying hard hard look for reasons why Slave Trade was abolished in Africa. Because with this kind of reason in some Africans, I think I would be right to say, we still need to be colonized and maybe sold into slavery otherwise we are useless for real and we have really learnt nothing nor forgotten anything. Because for how long are we going to continue living like this? For how long are we going to keep such leaders in power whose interest is only themselves? How long can we stand and look while a man kills a fellow man because they have different political ideologies? We need to Wake Up if we are to move on with the rest of the world otherwise it is really laughable to tell people that Africa's countries are independent and developing. We are not going anywhere. #Liberators_Do_Not_Exist_People_Liberate_Themselves - #CheGuevara. These are just personal thoughts.

ON 2016 UGANDAN ELECTIONS

VOTING WISELY There is a common saying that goes "Only a hungry man knows the pain of hunger" The other day during NRM primaries I felt ashamed when I saw a beautiful lady who looked like she had completed campus was fighting with others over 700 hundred shillings. Some guy had given their group which had like 70 people about 70k to distribute it among-st themselves: They had all along been chanting and shouting for a certain Aspirant. When the guy got back into his car, he told his pals " Now those are finished.. Lets go look for the other group." I couldn't believe my eyes but i remembered there have been times when I have even been worse and have begged for Supper. So I knew what 700 shillings meant to them. Now that's how low we have been reduced to. A certain friend of mine i used to work with would have died had it not been insurance policy covers where a helicopter had to evacuate him from a certain Hospital here in Uganda to Nairobi. Well.. In most cases people we elect don't actually care about us... If someone can afford to take his relative to a better hospital outside Uganda.. He will not care about you. Personally if i got any complication that needed surgery, from outside Uganda, am pretty sure i would die with out trying or fighting because I wouldn't afford. What hurts me is that whenever I look at the Taxes i have been paying for the last 6 years i have been employed.. Its much more than I have ever spent on myself who spends hours and hours in offices. Like i said earlier only a hungry man knows the pain of hunger. So people u see here on the group shouting and supporting certain parties, have reasons why.. But the next time you go to vote, look at where u are and where you are headed. These are just my personal thoughts

LOSING FAITH

FAITH LOST:

In 1994 during the CA Elections, I was still young in P.3 class. But What I still vividly remember was the time Amanya Mushega and the likes of Nathan Behangana when they were contesting. The Day Amanya Mushega won, together with other village mates we slept outside with Jerry Cans, and drums, Singing, walking the whole Village celebrating Mushega's Victory. The following night we did the same.. But somewhere along the way in  the middle of the night I asked myself What exactly it was that I was celebrating for. I asked myself what a person like Mushega could ever help me personally, I still wondered if he knows me or if there would ever be time and he gets to know me... I decided to lie to the boys whom we had that we go home and we pick some yellows. When we reached, I entered the house and told them goodnight and thanked them for escorting me. Time passed by and Mushega served his terms earned his money meanwhile I was still the same boy.. in the same school, TRUTH Is I have never met him in person to say I used to support you even if I never was old enough to vote. Today I see a lot of young boys running after politicians, hating on each other, abusing each other, because of certain Politicians who barely know them. Its not until the Politician you were wholeheartedly supporting hoping to get something in return starts amassing wealth onto his OWN account that you realise that actually.. Everyone who goes around lying to you that they will work for you or liberate you, actually is also looking for Survival. One true Politician Che Guevara said.. "I am not a liberator. Liberators don't exist. The people liberate themselves". Iam so happy I realised that when I was still in P.3. One thing I Promised myself is AS LONG AS WE STILL we still have this system of Government, with its BATSHIT Politicians. I will never waste my time Again and energy that am supporting anyone, or vote for anyone. Let others decide if he turns out a good person well and good, if he turns out just like any other corrupt, greed Politician, It won't be my CALL either.
THAT'S MY TAKE ON POLITICS.
