The First order paper I’ve read without approval of loans. No that it’s the first one, but it’s the first one I’ve read.
Actually @t_maxiwel Komanina. Did you get permission or was the poster you posted commissioned by @DaudiKabanda for you to claim well intentioned? You can’t ridicule Kabanda, get paid in the same currency by frank and then come squirting that your reputation has been damaged.
Mubiru was so bitter at the time of writing this Judgement.
Both Great Men, Presumably, they died without hitting their capacity. Jayden at 24, spent roughly 6yrs fighting for his life. Moses 77yrs, escaped notorious regimes, several Wars, HIV that claimed top Musicians& celebrities in Music and Art; has been killed by Punch. LIFE KYEKYI?
No man should judge Moses.
Like every true legend, he lived his story and died in the line of duty. As men, part of our inherent battle in this life is to find beauty wherever we can, even in the midst of nowhere.
We are all fighting battles only we truly understand.

I have avoided directly commenting on what is happening in Tooro. Instead, tried to share the EMIGYENZO- TRADITIONS/CUSTOMS that were followed in the INTRACSTRAINE KINGDOMS- which were themselves, passed on from BATEMBUZI/Bachwezi customs and practices:
In my previous posts,I decided not to mention some of the practices, especially those that happen when a reigning king died leaving his mother behind. But it is vital to say, the BATEMBUZI/CHWEZI culture placed strict practices around the NYAMASHORE/NYINA OMUKAMA...(Queen mother..)who survived her Son-King. This is because, the QUEEN MOTHER was always like A CORE-MONRCH during the reign of HER SON.
This was the case with NYINAMWIRU DURING reign of NDAHURA; KIBOOGA during the reign of her son, NTARE V, NYAKAHIMA during the reign of MULINDWA and later, OMUCHWEZI WAMARA, etc.
These QUEEN MOTHERS usually had unfettered access to ROYAL REGALIA,and other kingdom secrets. They were/ are the CUSTODIANS of the King's PERSONAL EMANDWA-EMANDWA Y'ENDUGU,and EKISINGO KY'ORWERU; etc. They sat on their own ROYAL THRONE (stool)- Ekyeeko Kya Nyamasore..)and held many other royal items, etc.
Therefore, where they survived their SON-KINGS, upon the death of the KING, specific cultural practices were carried out, some before burial, and others IMMEDIATELY AFTER BURIAL:
Eg, Clan Elders stripped the Nyamasore of her de facto CO-MONARCH role by:
-VACATING THE THRONE(royal stool) IMMEDIATELY AFTER OMUKAMA OKUTAASYA...(death).
-SHE WOULD NEVER SEE THE ROYAL FIRE(Ekyoto)AGAIN,
-SHE WOULD BE MOVED OUT OF THE MAIN PALACE COMPOUND, AND WOULDN'T RETURN THERE, EVER;
-IN SPECIAL CEREMONY, SHE WOULD RELINQUISH THE ROLE OF CUSTODIAN OF THE KING'S own EMANDWA Y'ENDUGU and return EKISINGO KY'ORWERU(fertility and health of the king). Didn't ask to WHO, exactly they were returned, but I assumed it was to the Royal Court elder.
She, would however, be given her ROYAL COURT(Ekikaari)and her HERD (cattle known as a ENYWEISA Z'EBISO). And all other Court NECESSITIES.
The young generations must be taught what constitutes OKUCURIRA ENKOMA(a departed King), not the rubbish i saw, of them spending all the time abusing each other on SOCIAL MEDIA. The behaviour of Tooro Princes and Princess and their supporters on SOCIAL MEDIA has been DISGRACEFUL, and like an elder, can say, it POTENDS NO GOOD.....
Learn to hold anger...... THERE IS ALWAYS TIME FOR THESE BATTLES; your small battles of pen& insults. REAL MEN USED TO USE SPEARS AND HOT IRON; but even these, knew WHEN! THEY WAITED TO BURY THEIR KING, then BLEED; not the KWALA-KWALA DOG FIGHTS I see here....! But even then, there must be RESPECT AND COMMON SENSE. ENDA(greed) and IGNORANCE ARE the biggest problems of today! ENDA, erikaata.....!
I hope they just SHUT-UP TODAY AS THE KING DEPARTS ON HIS FINAL JOURNEY.
Rest Well King OYO!

My political views are known, but I do not seek the presidency of the Uganda Law Society to advance them.
The ULS is not a political organisation. It is the professional home of every lawyer, regardless of political belief or affiliation.
I seek to unite the Bar and serve all its members. – at Kampala, Uganda
There’s a very big problem at the Uganda Human Rights Commission. Accusations and counter accusations place the facility in dire Jeopardy. We have serious Human Rights issues including policy to fix leave alone other matters at large. We can’t be at the moment be flickering over issues of Sex gone bad in the commission. It is absurd. I heard Wangadya Speak with emotions to the extent of breaking before the committee. But at the moment, given the state the commission is in, If I was President @KagutaMuseveni, I would accept Her resignation and retire the rest with disgrace in public interest…
I now understand why women are always concerned of the future in mind that it’s rare for Husbands to out age them. Thank God for the Life of the 3 former First Lady’s.
Africa First Ladies
Miriam Obote (90) the wife to the first prime minister of Uganda the late Apollo Milton Obote , who married her in 1963.
On the right is Maria Nyerere (95) the wife to the first president of Tanzania Mwalimu Nyerere who married her in 1953.
Mama Ngina (93) the wife to the first president of Kenya Mzee Jomo Kenyatta who married her in 1951, is missing in the photo, but she is still going strong.
Their husbands, Obote, Nyerere and Kenyatta died long time ago.
The three women (Miria Obote, Maria Nyerere, and Mama Ngina) have a well-documented close friendship in their later years, often reuniting for events like Uganda Martyrs Day pilgrimages.
