WE DON'T NEED KINGS ANYMORE
ABOUT KINGS.
Many times i have heard people discussing things to do with Kings and all that. Many people still believe a King is Born. Personally I think people who still believe that rubbish are still thinking in reverse. No one is Born a King. When we were studying History of Kingdoms in Secondary, it was never mentioned anywhere that so and so was Born and found with different qualities and abilities that made him a King. All I learnt was that a Person would organize a group of people lead them, go to war, fight battles, and conquer Territories and he /she rules them. Now that's how Kings were made. Apparently in all those that call themselves Kings or want to be Kings, no one has fought any battle to conquer any territory. They still live on the blood, sweat and grind of their Great, Great, great, Great. Grand fathers. Since the King had soldiers and wealth, everybody had to respect the King and he King in order to maintain his status, of course he had to make orders and Rules that would most definitely favor his stay in even when he was dead. His family would remain ruling those territories. Those people used to rule uncivilized people, who had no choice but o respect him. because whoever would show resistance o any opposition towards the King, he would be instantly killed. That would make any orders from the King unquestionable. If he decided that his son would take over, after his death, no one would dare say NO.
Apparently, many people have gone to school and have been exposed. We No longer have territories to conquer because we live in a world where we chose someone that we think should be leading us just like any other organised society. That gives us mandate to chose another leader in case we are not satisfied with the same person. That was not done with the Kings.
I come from the Western part of Uganda in what used to be the Kingdom of Ankole. And I don't think any civilized society needs a king anymore when they have a president and some other leaders whom they vote into power.
Its the 21st Century and we don't have Kings and I don't think we need them anymore.
I loved president Museveni's submission on Kings in Ankole Kingdom. I might not be interested in voting Museveni for the 4th Term but I love his submission about Kingdoms. The Kings can be somewhere else but Ankole We are far better than that. We are a step a head of others.
We can't go back the ICE AGE.
