We must become rich through modern agricultural practices. This was the message President Museveni has been preaching in the last two weeks during his tour in Teso region. President Museveni is known to be so passionate with the peasant class. He has been working hard to ensure that poverty, disease and ignorance are completely rooted out of Uganda.
He has been going around teso region telling people, we all must be rich in the villages. Giving himself as a model farmer, he says he makes more money from farming than the salary he gets being a president. Museveni has a ranch in his home region of Ankole, where he has thousands of cattle for milk and beef production. Museveni says Government has been building schools, providing primary health care but it had not embarked on the Prosperity For All progamme. Now is the time for peasants to become rich through modern farming practices.
In his agenda Museveni wants all peasant farmers to earn an income of 20 Million Uganda shillings per year (about 10,000 dollars) in each home stead. He wants farmers to have a daily, a monthly and quarterly income throughout the year.
This gospel has excited local communities. Whenever he went Museveni met peasants struggling to make a living through growing oranges, rearing goats and cattle. He has asked local government leaders to support farmers through provision of agricultural advisory services and inputs.
His government has been releasing money to local governments in order to make this a reality. Unfortunately in some areas, the money was swindled and much of it spent on endless workshops instead of assisting farmers. Because he does not want his agenda to fail, Museveni has been tough on local leaders on these funds.
For the last twenty two years, Museveni has been power at least for now, the opposition leaders seem to agree with him that, our people must become rich through farming.

OLYMPICS IS A WASTE OF TIME
Call me an extremist, insane or whatever. I do not care. But I will not let this point go escort free without a challenge. Iam talking about your trade disguised as games and having a name rumbling like wind called Olympics. Countries have spent millions of their dollars in order to send athletes to participate in this thing….Money that could be used to construct health units, provide scholastics materials to children and buy farm inputs to starving peasants in Africa. It is not fair!!!
Whoever came with this idea must be some brilliant fool. Imagine millions of people assembling in China and chasing the wind? What will the world lose if Olympics or the world cup was postponed in one year and all the proceeds sent to Africa for reconstruction and development? What would really be lost in an Olympics tournament? Do not tell me of Unity!!
If you feel hurt by these comments you can close this blog and proceed and read another one. But before you do that remember that the so- called international sports you are worshipping is creating small gods, building business empires for a few and serves no human purpose. It only creates humiliations and glory to those countries that have vested interests.
My country has for long wanted to get a medal from Olympics but in vain. I do not believe that we can not produce people who can run…. people with some skills. If you want to know how strong we are see how we have defied extinction under chronic poverty, exploitation, ignorance and disease. We have managed to survive under harsh and tough conditions. The medals we have won are written all over our faces and not in Olympics pieces of metal. Our medals run in our blood!
The last time, we won gold in an Olympics games was in 1972. The legend goes like this: that our leader Idi Amin (whom you like to demonize so much) had issued an instruction to our gallant man Akiibwa that, you should just run so fast without looking behind. If you do not come with a gold medal, immediately you land at the airport, I will shoot you. It is said that, this alone motivated Akiibwa to run like a wild beast. You racists did not give Akiibwa any praise until he humiliated you in those 400 huddles. Someone should listen to that commentary as Akiibwa sent Munich crowd to dead silence, if you are to understand my point.
Since then, we have longed for an Olympics medal but in vain. (I do not know why we need these metal medals? I will ask our minister of sports this question). The last time we won something from a major world sports record was when Dorkus Inzukuru humiliated the racists by wining GOLD. All the big business men with shamless faces and saliva dripping as usual surrounded her. i pity them.The whole country came to a stand still. Parliament was immediately constituted and a motion was moved to recognize this unique achievement. And that was it. Dorcus was probably, our only hope of getting gold in China but due to other factors (you should understand when I say other factors) she did not make it.
I have failed to understand the politics involved in wining medals in international sports. Somebody there should give me the formula. Oh yap, people say it brings glory, fame and honor to the athlete and country. Point taken! But sometimes your medals bring disgrace. Some times, a person really runs and you see that the fellow has won gold, no doubt. Take Marion Jones for example….. She won gold in most major events in 2000. We all believed the girl was talented and a superstar, until she recently confessed taking drugs. What a disappointment!!
Now Jamaicans have made it in China. One broke a world record and three all won medals in one particular even that they all participated. Is it coincidental? What was the secret? Are they special? You draw your on own conclusions. Keep your eye open, your ear on the ground and you will see and hear the truth!
We in Uganda still are waiting since 1972 to win our fast gold medal. I am optimistic that Uganda will win METAL in London come 2012 games. I am convinced London will remember that, we were once their colony and have suffered long without this piece of mental. This is just the public part of me saying so. However, If you asked me critically whether to receive glory from winning a gold medal in London and canceling those games so that a state of art learning facility is built in Uganda……i will definitely go for the later. I would also tell you Olympics are just a game for the rich and a waste of time. In fact, we do not talk much about it in our village. We have better things to talk about. We keep on wondering on how to budget for the one dollar for the day, keep wondering whether there will be food tomorrow. The life we are living is just misery and never satisfying. Our lives have been just the same-full of worries. We look at the future and it is just empty!!!!

YOU RACIST, GO AWAY
Today, I am standing on dangerous ground. Many people shy away from discussing this point. It is sensitive, explosive and dangerous to handle it especially if you are black and living in the so-called developed country where the colour of your skin attracts insults.
Up to now, I am still disturbed and can not believe a young man travels out of his country and he is beaten and insulted just because of the colour of his colour. This is what happened to Egessa, our Ugandan brother who had traveled to Ukraine for further studies. Egessa came face to face with the Skin Heads in that country and got beaten near death three times. Of course not only did he come back with MBA degree but also nine stitches on his lips and a fractured knee. Egessa’s story has been making headlines here in Uganda.
I have not yet come to terms with racism. Why should you hate me because I am black? Why? I have read comments of African footballers who endure day to day racism and insults in Europe even when they have proved beyond reasonable doubt that they are the best. Why do you beat and insult us, YOU RACIST? We did not apply to be black? Of course, there is this talk by authorities that, tough measures are in place to stop racism. It only remains some cheap talk.
When foreigners came to Uganda or any African country, we treat them with kid gloves. We volunteer to show them directions, when they get lost. We sensitize our people on the need to be hospitable and nice to our visitors. Even when foreigners do not want to greet us in our country, we volunteer to say, Hallo and smile with our black faces. Ask any foreigner, who has come to Uganda and he/she will tell how friendly and nice our people are. Unfortunately, when we show good manners, we are mistaken to be morons. Quite disturbing!!!
I am not saying we are angles. Of course, we have some challenges but we are not that uncivilized and barbaric has exhibited by Egeesa’s attackers. To Egeesas’ attackers, you will be surprised if you came to Uganda or any African country and are treated better than you are in your so-called developed country. You can long for my blood, but you will not get a piece of me to insult, chewe or bite. SORRY!!!
Calling us (read black people) monkeys that are not welcome to western countries is not a solution. Who cares about the colour of my skin? I do not care myself. Actually, I am proud that I am dark. I wish I was darker than I am now. Yes, darker than the abyss and more bushy than a monkey, if you like!!! unfortunately, If we are to discuss the merit and demerits of our races, the world would develop into another catastrophe.
Let me give you a dose to bite, chew and swallow There was a certain funny professor (I call him funny, because there was nothing substantial good from his studies) who alleged that all blacks are less intelligent than any other race. My foot!! The fellow had to withdraw his statements. What does he think of brains like Barrack Obama, Powel, Rice, and Mandela? If you think blacks are less good just look at the recent Olympics 100 meters race. Count how many in that final lines were black people? Who is holding the current 9.69 seconds World Record for that race? What would you think, you racist, of Mohammed Ali, Pele, Michael Jordan, Michael Johnson etc? You find the answers!!!
Now there is also this hopeless feeling of black people living in the developed world especially exhibited by the Jamaicans and black Americans. Jamaicans, I am meant to understand do not want to be associated with black African people. Those who have traveled abroad say that a black man in the streets of New York would run away on discovering that you are from Africa. You had better get direction from a white man and not a black man. You idiots, how can you deny you ancestry when actually your colour shows that you are part of us?
You racist's, go away!!

MUM, I LOVE YOU
I have been working lately so hard. I had wanted to go home this weekend to meet my daughter and son. I think they are terribly missing me. I called Betty this evening. Suprisingly, she was in a jolly mood.In some incidenences,when i take long without going home, she has that tendency of being moody.
Now, Iam coming into terms with what i heard from the BBC's Last Word, were a man resigned his job because he was tired of travelling several kilometres every day. He had wanted to be with his family.By that time, i thought, this is damm silly and pure madness. How can a man resign a well paying Job just to sit home watching his wife and children playing? This was unacceptable!!!
I knew a man must work harder and harder no matter what. And indeed, that is exactly, what iam doing- working over 12 hours a day. Now i am faced with a similar predicament of the guy who wrote his Last Word. True, i work hard but i can not even meet the basics.Where is all the money going? Iam always struggling to buy sugar, food, clothing for my son and daughter. I say, where is the money going? Besides, i miss my family so much. Now, shouldI RESIGN my job so that i play with the kids at home? The answer is no.
" Boy, you got to move on !!! There are many people out, who want your support. Think about you mum? Boy, you need to remain focused, determined and resilient, maybe one day LADY LUCK will come your way. Keep moving boy", the inner voice tells me. It is like i listen to this voice so much.
I have been reflecting andreflecting on these private issues lately. Then the worst nightmare is how i miss my mother. The last time, i went home to the village to see mum was in November,2007. I promised to continue to visit her but to date i have not. Iam begining to feel guilty especially when she sent my young cousin saying she is WEAK and SICK. I really felt the blow of a mother wanting to see her son. Mum, i love you so much. I have promised several times as far as i am STILL a live you will be leading some decent life. My sister passed away ten years ago and left mum with a paraylsed girl. The girl is now making twenty years. I think this could be one of those things now giving mum sleepless nights.
Again ever since, i begun contrusting for her a house in 2002, i have more or less failed to complete it. When i look at her old house built in 1966, i feel so sorry for mama despite all the challenges and sacrify she made to see her four children all go to school. She has toiled all her life so that, her children get a decent life. Here i am the so-called educated african boy, i can not even provide enough to mama. i feel i have betrayed her trust. i have failed to make her happy yet she has put much hope in me. When i reflect on some of these things, i t makes me feel sad.WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO TELL MUM THANKYOU?
Maybe i should contact my friend again and receive some advise. Erica, if you are reading this blog, i need your assistance. Probably, it could not be material but spiritual and emotional support.
Guys, you have to bear with me i donot know what i am writing this evening. I am reflecting back on A PRIVATE MATTER and the challenges that we in the rural areas undergo. I could go on and on? How many of the poor are suffering and no body is coming to their rescue? I know , this era is not for blamism (i know this word does not exist in english). This is the time to face reality on the face squarely and agree that, we need better cooperations between the poor and rich. We need to put aside egoistic principles of capitalism, racism and live as one people in one planet.
America, America, America, brake the neck of this suffering. America, i say brake the york of world suffering. I know life is a sacrifce. How can we make the suffering be happy? How can we put a smile on the faces of mulnourished children? We are tired of being second class citizens on this planet.

FACE TO FACE WITH A SCAMMER
Readers of this blog should be wondering why i have not written. Iam about to run out of excuses. It is not out of my own making but the nature of work and access to some of these facilities which is a challenge.
I have been wondering up and down to shaking of poverty off my back but in vain.While People out there are very busy conning people at any slightest opportunity. This just damm silly. There are genuine people actually seeking out assistance from people but the manner in which internet thieves have invaded it is just difficult to trust any one.
Recently, i read in the papers one of the most reputable organisations here had be declared a scam organisation in a certain western country. Police was holding a preist for running a non-existent University. I just lay down and say, probably i should not ask any one anything no matter what. Let me suffer locally. A friend recently, sent me an email inquiring whether i have problems accessing internet. Ofcourse it is a big problem accessing internet here. The other part of me was saying, i think i should ask this person to send me a laptop, a camera and a recorder for day to day work. The other part of me was saying no you could be easliy be mistaken of a scamer.
Internet thieves especially in the less privilged countries have mastered ways of conning their fellow people and others under several ways. I have been receiving messages from scammers and interestingly, the fellows have not been able to have a break through. Just two quick examples was one called Musa. Musa was claiming to be working as an accoutant and a custodian of property of some white people who perished in Kenya. He was so convincing that, if he had got some desperate school kid, he would have succeded in conning the fellow. I feel so sorry for him because he realy tried to put a spirited effort to con me of money.
I have reproduced my communication with the so-called Musa. I beg you read it to the end. Here goes:

Musa,
How will i benefit now. i should first send you the details of my bank account so that you put the money?
Ibrahim
Dear Partner ,
Thanks for picking interest in my proposal. The funds in question does not belong to me ,it belongs to one of our bank deceased client who died in plane crash with his family members hence,there is no one else with the knowledge of the funds in our bank since 5years ago because i am his account officer at the bank before his death hence,i have acces to all his files .
Thus,i feel this is an avenue for you and i to get this funds to ourselves for better use.It is will be impossible for us to lay our hands on this funds until the claiming process has been effected after the complete arrangement of the required paper works in your name at the bank as the sole beneficiary to this funds. I am equally happy that,i can relate you to the deceased as the sole beneficiary to his left over funds $15 million dollars for our mutual benefits towards better future especially when i was his account monitoring officer at our bank before his death .
Basically, My bank client and his entire family was involved in the shater plane which crashed in the Kenyan city of Samburu, which is home to popular game reserves on ,2003. Unfortunately my client and his entire family were among those who where confirmed dead as a result of the crash. Since after their death, I have made several enquiries to their embassy to locate any of my clients relativeto no avail being his account officer, hence I contacted you.
I am contacting you to assist me inretrieving the money left by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank. Since you have been satisfy about the reality of my proposal believe me that I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up the claim, and I have the answers to any question which the bank might ask you concerning the deceased. I want to bring to your notice that the transaction will be 100% risk free.
All I required from you is to provide a receiving bank account where the fund will be transferred into your favour as the next of kin, and also your honest co-operation to enable us achieve this aim.
I guarantee that this transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Finally, having declared your interest to participate in this deal by sending all your required personal infos , I will send you more details of the transaction and also forward to you the text of application you will copy and send to the bank for the commencement of the transaction so that we complete the claiming process without delay.
Do not let greed disturb the smooth running of this transaction claiming process at bank towards our success and better life and assuring future.I plead with you to kindly give my share to me once the claiming process is completed at the bank.
Yours FaithfullyMalim Musa

MUSA,
Now this is very interesting. It is important that you put the client's left over funds in good use. What we need for now i can see is maximum cooperation, truth and genuine relations. I will help you secure these funds from the bank with the immediate effect.
Let us has handle the process in the proper manner as we agree to proceed to make this world a better place to live especially when there are bad banks out there which would like to deprive innocent people like you of the best they have done.
This deal i agree with you should not be mixed with greed as it will spoil our future endovours. What we need now in order for us to proceed safely is as you put it, personal details relating to each other. I know you can handle the process very well.
I had a bank account before i left for a peace mission sometime back but it is now inactive.I WOULD LIKE YOU TO SEND ME YOUR PERSONAL DETAILS SO THAT MY ASSISTANT CAN PROCESS THE DEAL OF THIS TRANSACTION. This should be the simplest way for us to proceed. If you find this option hard, kindly send me some money to enable him re activiate my bank account. You can send the money through western Union.
Alternatively, iam directing our intelligence officers to truck you out in Burkina Faso and work with you for the smooth running of this deal. Please cooperate with them. Just send me your personal details.I will ask Colonel Robinson to work this out. He actually works in our base in Senegal.
This should be the easiet way.The ball is now on your court. I have been quite busy with combat and peace mission activities lately. LET US TREAT THIS MATTER WITH THE SEROIUSNESS AND URGENCY IT DESERVES.
Waiting to hear from you soon, brother. Cheers.
Ibrahim
Dear Ibrahim,

Musa,
Why are you making this very complicated? I have talked to our intelligence officers on the ground and they will soon tress you. I have called colonel Robinson and says you should get in touch with him on +256772881426 IMMEDIATELY. He is flying to East Africa before going to Iraq. The faster you get in touch with him the better. Robinson, i should warn you is every complicated military man, so you should take precautions as you talk to him.
I thought you would work with my personal assistant instead of Robinson.But since you have chosen to work with him, fine. Get in touch with me, if he makes it complicated.
I have been busy and do not have a functioning bank account. i had told you to send me some money so that i re activate my account but it seems you did not understand me.
AS a soldier, i am impatient with such behavior. DO YOU WANT THE BANKS TO TAKE AWAY YOUR CLIENTS MONEY? I think not. Let us cooperate. You could also send me your pass port number and country.
Sorry, if i sound tough. it is the miltary training in me that i can not control. WE NEED TO MOVE FAST.

Yes, we are moving fast. The boys have been sending me interesting information about your personal details. Fortunately, they are tressing the computer you are using, using INTRA CONNECTIVITY DOUBLE CHECK VICE MECHANISM ROAMING SETLIGHT(ICDCVMRS). If you do not want to work with them, you better think twice. Robinson, has taken keen interest in this matter and wants to help. He expressed disappointement that, you did not get in touch with you.
YOU SHOULD GIVE ROBINSON CLEAR INFORMATION SO THAT YOU ARE HELPED OUT.
Cheers brother.

Guys, what do you think about this scam? We had better find ways of removing such people from the net. Next week, i will post about a' young girl' in Senegal who wants me to send her money so that she comes to join me in America. She thinks, i am an American with much money, when actually i am some miserable Ugandan journalist failing to raise even enough for my family. Guys stay cool and let no one fool you around. until then.
I have been wondering up and down to shaking of poverty off my back but in vain.While People out there are very busy conning people at any slightest opportunity. This just damm silly. There are genuine people actually seeking out assistance from people but the manner in which internet thieves have invaded it is just difficult to trust any one.
Recently, i read in the papers one of the most reputable organisations here had be declared a scam organisation in a certain western country. Police was holding a preist for running a non-existent University. I just lay down and say, probably i should not ask any one anything no matter what. Let me suffer locally. A friend recently, sent me an email inquiring whether i have problems accessing internet. Ofcourse it is a big problem accessing internet here. The other part of me was saying, i think i should ask this person to send me a laptop, a camera and a recorder for day to day work. The other part of me was saying no you could be easliy be mistaken of a scamer.
Internet thieves especially in the less privilged countries have mastered ways of conning their fellow people and others under several ways. I have been receiving messages from scammers and interestingly, the fellows have not been able to have a break through. Just two quick examples was one called Musa. Musa was claiming to be working as an accoutant and a custodian of property of some white people who perished in Kenya. He was so convincing that, if he had got some desperate school kid, he would have succeded in conning the fellow. I feel so sorry for him because he realy tried to put a spirited effort to con me of money.
I have reproduced my communication with the so-called Musa. I beg you read it to the end. Here goes:

Dear Partner ,
Thanks for picking interest in my proposal. The funds in question does not belong to me ,it belongs to one of our bank deceased client who died in plane crash with his family members hence,there is no one else with the knowledge of the funds in our bank since 5years ago because i am his account officer at the bank before his death hence,i have acces to all his files .
Thus,i feel this is an avenue for you and i to get this funds to ourselves for better use.It is will be impossible for us to lay our hands on this funds until the claiming process has been effected after the complete arrangement of the required paper works in your name at the bank as the sole beneficiary to this funds. I am equally happy that,i can relate you to the deceased as the sole beneficiary to his left over funds $15 million dollars for our mutual benefits towards better future especially when i was his account monitoring officer at our bank before his death .
Basically, My bank client and his entire family was involved in the shater plane which crashed in the Kenyan city of Samburu, which is home to popular game reserves on ,2003. Unfortunately my client and his entire family were among those who where confirmed dead as a result of the crash. Since after their death, I have made several enquiries to their embassy to locate any of my clients relativeto no avail being his account officer, hence I contacted you.
I am contacting you to assist me inretrieving the money left by my client before they get confiscated or declared unserviceable by the bank. Since you have been satisfy about the reality of my proposal believe me that I have all the necessary legal documents that can be used to back up the claim, and I have the answers to any question which the bank might ask you concerning the deceased. I want to bring to your notice that the transaction will be 100% risk free.
All I required from you is to provide a receiving bank account where the fund will be transferred into your favour as the next of kin, and also your honest co-operation to enable us achieve this aim.
I guarantee that this transaction will be executed under a legitimate arrangement that will protect you from any breach of the law.
Finally, having declared your interest to participate in this deal by sending all your required personal infos , I will send you more details of the transaction and also forward to you the text of application you will copy and send to the bank for the commencement of the transaction so that we complete the claiming process without delay.
Do not let greed disturb the smooth running of this transaction claiming process at bank towards our success and better life and assuring future.I plead with you to kindly give my share to me once the claiming process is completed at the bank.
Yours FaithfullyMalim Musa

MUSA,
Now this is very interesting. It is important that you put the client's left over funds in good use. What we need for now i can see is maximum cooperation, truth and genuine relations. I will help you secure these funds from the bank with the immediate effect.
Let us has handle the process in the proper manner as we agree to proceed to make this world a better place to live especially when there are bad banks out there which would like to deprive innocent people like you of the best they have done.
This deal i agree with you should not be mixed with greed as it will spoil our future endovours. What we need now in order for us to proceed safely is as you put it, personal details relating to each other. I know you can handle the process very well.
I had a bank account before i left for a peace mission sometime back but it is now inactive.I WOULD LIKE YOU TO SEND ME YOUR PERSONAL DETAILS SO THAT MY ASSISTANT CAN PROCESS THE DEAL OF THIS TRANSACTION. This should be the simplest way for us to proceed. If you find this option hard, kindly send me some money to enable him re activiate my bank account. You can send the money through western Union.
Alternatively, iam directing our intelligence officers to truck you out in Burkina Faso and work with you for the smooth running of this deal. Please cooperate with them. Just send me your personal details.I will ask Colonel Robinson to work this out. He actually works in our base in Senegal.
This should be the easiet way.The ball is now on your court. I have been quite busy with combat and peace mission activities lately. LET US TREAT THIS MATTER WITH THE SEROIUSNESS AND URGENCY IT DESERVES.
Waiting to hear from you soon, brother. Cheers.
