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.

IS BEING SEXY ENOUGH FOR LADIES?

IS BEING SEXY ENOUGH FOR LADIES?

Message To Women, Being Sexy Is Not Enough. 

Are black women sexy? No doubt! When it comes to sexiness sisters have no equal. But can I be honest with you? I'm actually TIRED of sexy black women. Now hear me out on this, please.

Sexiness don't mean jack snot. Not in the grand scheme of things. Visually appealing, yes. But I can't eat sexiness. Sexiness won't help pay these bills or pay off our student loans. Sexiness won't qualify for a mortgage, or get the IRS off my back long enough to make my next big business move.

Sexiness won't help me raise these kids. Neither will it teach my daughters their true worth and value in this world.

We got way too many 'Sexy' sisters out here with nothing else to bring to the table. Sexiness is the totality of their package. And that's WHACK!

Most black men looking for a relationship want a USEFUL woman. Visual appeal alone won't cut it. Besides: there are so many black women competing to be the sexiest, it's not even a race worth entering.

Can you cook? Do you clean? Do you have mothering skills Do you love your father? Respect him? Respect other black men in general? Have you divested yourself of prior relationship baggage? Can you hold a conversation about REAL world events? And no: Love and Hip Hop doesn't count!

Do you have a REAL relationship with a REAL God: or do you follow the fake one many American Christians have invented for themselves because he's more tolerable than the actual Truth?

These are the kind of questions discerning men are asking nowadays.

So if sexiness is all you bring to the table, you can keep it. I'd rather have a woman of pure unadulterated SUBSTANCE. And I'm sure I speak for most conscious-thinking brothers out there on this one.

There's a new breed of black men out there ladies. And we ain't settling for second best or taking any shorts. Either come correct or go get with Tyrone. That's all many of you are use to dealing with anyway...

HOW THINGS WORK

Well, Gilbert had spent 5 years on the street with out a Job since he had lost the LAST job he had, due to miserable pay, and Harsh conditions. He had earlier told me about how things were moving "Not exactly" so well like he had anticipated the week before he was supposed to report to work. Three years on the job, he could still borrow 2000 for supper and 500 to take him to his work place since he stayed almost near his WORK place. There was definitely no difference between me who was not working and him, actually I was better because at least I was not sweating to make someone else rich. The more he worked, the more the company he worked for made a lot of profits, and the more he became poorer.

HOW IT ALL STARTED

You see with these banks they come to you and offer a good deal of a Salary loan and the fact that you haven't gotten any property yet, it is easier to take on a Salary LOAN after all nothing to be captured when you fail to pay back YOUR Security is YOUR Salary and you don't have to worry paying back Salary comes when you have already paid their CUT. Have you ever wondered why LOAN AGREEMENT papers always have a lot of words inscribed on them? Read TERMS AND CONDITIONS. I have noticed that a few people take time to read them carefully.

In most cases, a person who is applying for a LOAN normally has a lot of problems and his mind is all about getting money and the rest will follow. They tell you to read through and sign at the bottom... Hmm READING THROUGH is totally BOLLOCKS to a person who wants money and so you JUST sign. 

This reminds me of a time when I was doing my school practice in a certain school. You see this HEADMASTER Mr. Fred was a clever man. Well he would sometimes be accused of waking up one day and decide to increase on the students school fees without consenting with the board of Governors or the PTA committee not to mention the Parents who were the direct "BENEFICIARIES" of these increments. BUT in real sense he was a HONEST man and he had never done anything without agreeing with them. Whenever he would call a Parents meeting to discuss about these things, he would prepare a BULL and they would fry it during LUNCH hours. He would wait till when its almost like 30 minutes to 4:00 pm, that was when he normally served his guests LUNCH. And that would be the same time he would raise matters to do with how he spent, the money and the accountability and how much they needed for the next terms, then he would suggest an increment. But he would First tell them that this is the last ITEM then we break off for LUNCH, He always made sure he put the serving table in the same Hall where the meeting was taking place. Now guys who were to serve would bring the food with all its AROMA and wait.. So that would create divided  attention, all they would be thinking would be, lets finish and go for LUNCH, Then He would say, WE ARE ADDING 50,000 on school fees, who is supporting it? Of-course none would have time to argue and debate..

Gilbert got a loan under such circumstances  but at the end of the day, he realized they were chopping almost  half of his Salary. Well to cut the already long story short, he decided to quit. He thought he had worked with a company for a good time so he THOUGHT he had the Experience most Employers always emphasize when they are advertising their JOBS as if there is a school that teaches EXPERIENCE. So he thought it would be a matter of time and he would get another job. 5 years down the road He had become hopeless almost every time regretting why he had left the former JOB.

One day a friend of his who happens to have a certain PASTOR that normally prays for him invited him. He assured him that this pastor really performs miracles and it would only take his going there and they pray for him. But before that, Someone had also told him there was a A Witch who really helps the jobless and had gone there, With all the instructions performed, the Witch had assured him he would soon get the JOB, and to make things interesting he had told the witch that he had applied in a certain company and that' is the same job he really proffered, and the Witch had assured him he had seen that very job coming his WAY. He believed.  Gilbert had stayed on the streets long and had had enough of it he wanted to maximize any chance that would come around. When his friend invited him to go see the Pastor, he went.. He told the Pastor his Problems and even told him he had applied in a certain company and he really wanted that JOB. THE PASTOR PRAYED for him and assured him he would get that JOB Soon enough. ONE Week Later, Gilbert received the phone call from the HR of the same company asking him when he would like to start working because he had passed the interviews. Gilbert is now working and he is getting better and better each day.. BUT WHAT REALLY PUZZLES HIM is, WHO EXACTLY delivered his prayers> Both the Witch and the Pastor had promised him.. to get the same JOB and he did...
