You’d have thought that after 37 years, the NRM would have built several gated neighborhoods with hospitals, paved roads, street lighting, private schools and shops like the apartheid regime did in SA. But these gunmen lack class. They occupied Kololo and can’t mow the lawns.1/4

I am slowly getting convinced that Ugandans must take up weapons and fight and get rid of this very bad government. We need to get weapons (it’s very easy) and fight to take back our country and defend our rights. We must be ready to die for a better Uganda.

Most of the attacks against NUP come from ´Kampala’s educated elites’ who seem to be frustrated that a group of ‘ruffians’ who aren’t as sophisticated and polished and who didn’t go to the fancy UG schools are leading a political party. The attacks are inspired by envy. Nuggu!

If you want to see basic lack of planning, just look at this. No alignment, each property faces wherever, no regard for neighbors (privacy) and you can’t tell if it’s a residential or a mixed zone. Pure chaos. No roads, no sewerage line. An expensive ghetto. An unlivable maze!

Bobi Wine has put the spotlight on the many Ugandans in Dubai prisons because they can’t afford a flight home. Ofcourse a sensible govt would fly them all back on one flight. But Museveni’s regime isn’t sensible, has no plan other than to enslave more citizens in Arabia. 1/2

What Bobi said in the widely shared clip is TRUE. The truth is more passionate in Buganda because of years of immigration and the pressures that brings but the issues are not unique to Buganda region alone. We have the same issues in Bunyoro, Tooro, Acholi. Unless you’re blind.

Sometime back bailouts to connected businesses like MOGAS would secretly be paid from the State House budget. But I guess there are many mouths to feed now. The loot isn’t enough. Now Museveni orders ministries to look for the billions to rescue his relatives’ businesses.

I see many ‘political experts’ criticizing NUP for washing their dirty linen (Mpuuga) in public. That phrase was popularized by the NRM in the 90s and overtime, the NRM stopped exposing their own corrupt. That’s how corruption became the first name of the NRM.

I find it strange that the UPDF chose to parade Eric Mwesigwa and not the NUP people who ‘tortured’ him. Because having survived the torture, he can help the UPDF identify and arrest those who tortured him. This is another stunt by Kulayigye.
