Being indifferent to all calls to stop this 'LADO' thing is a clear manifestation of your egoistic and selfish quest. We cannot allow this nonsense to continue unchecked. You and those you associated with are the biggest mistake to West Nile and the otherwise good intentions of this Net. I am sorry to say this, but I think you are not a friend of West Nile and need not be on this Net. As earlier said to you by others concerned about your diversionary articles, kindly heed to our request and have your own web to promote this LADO fantasy. If you think your ideas are as popular, then do not ride on the back of West Nile Net for recognition. You may actually be hurting your already bad reputation the more. We are of age now to be indoctrinated by busy for nothing chaps like you. I have no apologies for my actions if this net should achieve its purpose. Those who enjoy your articles should join you on another page rather than this one. I kindly ask Mr. Kigundu to de-register this okuon...@gmail.com thing with immediate effect.

The economic problems of Lado are quite known to us and ready we are facing it as Ladoans to solve it but not as Ugandans . May be we will need Uganda as a close Sister State neighbour to collabrate with on Agreements to reach still . Humanity in general languishes under the misconception that we know things. We, for example “know” what we intend to do, what we want to achieve but when the outcome of our actions do not measure up to our self proclaimed knowledge of aims and motivations, we are faced with a choice: either we accept 1) that perhaps we are not so aware of our motivations and perhaps we have deeper seated patterns of actions and thought which are materializing what we actually want but choose not to be aware of or 2) we blame God, the universe, life, society, politicians, parents , children, etc for being the hindrances to our true happiness. Generally what we claim to “know” is based on what we learn through our family, society, culture or what someone else (a thinker, philosopher, prophet, politician, etc) “knew”. We are taught this and ingest it within our personality identifying with it. Based on this so-called knowledge we create our lives. When our creation falls short of all that was promised by whatever system of thought or “knowledge” we claim allegiance to, we curse what we have created and continue to attempt to create the life we wish for, with the same thought systems that started the mess. Based on our “knowledge” we establish a pattern of action and we apply this to all manner of situations. We repeat or recreate - based on what believe to be true - our lives. What we know basically prevents us from actually understanding the deeper processes of ourselves and our societies. It bars the path to true knowledge, wisdom and understanding. The heart of the matter is that what we consider to be knowledge is our perception. Our interpretation of all that surrounds us, as well as, who we believe ourselves to be. Based on this we develop thought systems which produce actions and consequences. Which we again interpret within the same perceptual logic we started with. This logic is based on a core thought, idea or belief which controls and shapes ones view of life. This view of life is then mistakenly taken to be LIFE as it is. What LIFE is cannot (in our view) be perceived, or understood through the processes of perception. LIFE is lived, embraced and celebrated. A Knowingness of life is in the realm of wisdom and understanding and has more to do with experience and the processes of opening oneself up and the art of deep acceptance.

[WestNileNet] TECHNOLOGY WINS OVER HISTORY TO END ".....SAGA"
Thanks Kigs I didn't read any of that lado bizness. So i am neither hurt nor happy about it or its fate. However i sensed how it was irritating many just from the subject of the mails. Last time i said maintain routinely your inbox. But when maintenace problem appears to be over and above for a particular aspect, yes you can redesign that part to solve the problem like what Kigs is going to do about Lado. Unless you properly design (scientifically) to get rid of Azi-tiku, West Nile will be prone to famine. Sorry for non Lugbara (or sorry, is it Lado) speakers - Azi tiku is a notorious weed found in low lying terrain with lot of ground moisture. I didn't study botanical names so bear with me in many ways. By the way Azitiku means (translates to) no progress in work . I knew that thinking and reading Lado is like Azitiku. Thank you Kigs for deciding to use your information technology skills to win over this Azitiku. So gentlemen, incorporate technology into the hunger project (may be by improved seeds as you have suggested, but also tools and skills training to maximise farming / yield). Then you will see revolution in Agricultural instead of one in Ladoism. I guess my suggestion is not too late.

Re: [WestNileNet] HUNGER AS A WEPON
Ladies and Gentlemen, What is the core purpose of this forum? And further, what is this Lado thing that has of recent taken centre-stage on this forum? Is it to politik and gain from the international agencies for the benefit of the few(and/or many) of those who are spearheading it? Has any of those Ladoan leaders in 'exile' lobbied for the hunger project in West Nile region or even personally contributed to the alleviation of poverty and hunger in this case in the region or the so called Lado? Lets get straight to the point - It is not enough for the authors and leaders of this pre-historic Ladaon empire to insinuate inter-alia that the hunger in West Nile(or Lado for that matter) is caused by governments by starving the populace for political ends. Have these so called Ladaon leaders/Kings been to "Lado" - read as "West Nile" recently? Do they know what is happening to our people socially, economically, educationally, politcally etc? My guess is that they do not know and DO NOT CARE as well. The food crisis in Uganda has been in almost every region including Lado/West Nile region. It is therefore wrong for the leaders of the so called Lado empire to insinuate that only West Nile has been singled out by the Government of Uganda for starvation for political reasons and mileage. Ladies and Gentlemen, let us focus on our noble cause of providing for the unfortunate in this hunger project without indulging or giving due attention to the "non starter' Lado euphoria. I would like us to follow the recommendations of John Avudria, Gerald Matua and others of the like to forget this issue of Lado and concentrate on our core business, which is DEVELOPMENT, for the benefit of our people without any further procrastination. Mr. Moderator, we might wish to sieve out certain people from this forum who are diversionary and live in the utopian world as suggested by some good thinking members of the forum.

Re: [WestNileNet] LADO SAGA
Ronald, What ever you call yourself; learn to listen and accept that there is a big difference in the substance and content of your contributions on this net in contrast to the rest. Being indifferent to all calls to stop this 'LADO' thing is a clear manifestation of your egoistic and selfish quest. We cannot allow this nonsense to continue unchecked. You and those you associated with are the biggest mistake to West Nile and the otherwise good intentions of this Net. I am sorry to say this, but I think you are not a friend of West Nile and need not be on this Net. As earlier said to you by others concerned about your diversionary articles, kindly heed to our request and have your own web to promote this LADO fantasy. If you think your ideas are as popular, then do not ride on the back of West Nile Net for recognition. You may actually be hurting your already bad reputation the more. We are of age now to be indoctrinated by busy for nothing chaps like you. I have no apologies for my actions if this net should achieve its purpose. Those who enjoy your articles should join you on another page rather than this one. I kindly ask Mr. Kigundu to de-register this okuon...@gmail.com thing with immediate effect. Its my sincere hope that, some space and effort would be created to discuss better issues. I hope not many are disappointed with me other than these Lado agitators.

[WestNileNet] What We Fear
** *My Last writing appeal on this Forum . Period * ** ** *What we fear* To understand the deeper motivations of humans it is necessary, in our view to understand fear. Generally we believe or tell ourselves that we are afraid of outer occurrences. One fears not being loved, not being able to fulfil ones life ambitions, success, failure, pain, abandonment, lack of security, going to hell or heaven and so on. It is our understanding though, that what we really fear is experiencing the associated emotional states, thoughts and sensations that accompany going through the above mentioned situations. We are controlled by others whether in the personal sphere (children, family, lovers, friends, parents, colleagues) or in the public sphere (schools, governments, churches, associations) by viewing these individuals and institutions as elements who exert control over our inner states (emotions, thoughts and sensations). We fear experiencing not being loved for example and therefore our actions can be controlled by those who are supposed to love us unconditional, by them threatening not love us if we behave in a certain manner or promising more love we if we modify our behaviour according to their wishes. Police officers, military personnel and prisons threaten us with physical force and so here it is our fear of experiencing physical pain and brute power which causes us to behave as the system wishes to. Our conclusion is that true freedom cannot be achieved unless we are willing to feel and feel fully accepting, all that we feel as a part of life. Once we deem any part of what we are experiencing as bad and unwanted we engender a desire to escape it and a fear of it when it is absent from our perception. Uncontrolled fear leads to flight from what ever it is one fears and it is through this we are controlled. Oppressors create a situation, if we as beings act in a manner contrary to the oppressors interest, where we will feel/experience unwanted emotions, thoughts and sensations. This is of course designed to deter us from choosing the path to freedom and to instill within us a fear of even contemplating, taking up the struggle. To be free, entails to be willing to feel all and everything to the fullest. Only this allows us to withstand the pressures applied by oppressors in order to cause to surrender and live in fear. ___ WestNileNet mailing list WestNileNet@kym.net http://orion.kym.net/mailman/listinfo/westnilenet % WestNileNet is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).

RE: [WestNileNet] LADO SAGA
Friends, I am getting more uncomfortable with this Lado thing. Without any doubt, this issue is very diversionary, divisive. Furthermore, the tone is dangerous; it is inciting us into treason. Above all, the timing is fatally wrong, considering the current goings-on in our city/country. Mr. Okuonzi seems to be one of our brothers in self-imposed exile, who claim they will only return home when Lado gets Independence (what a fantasy!). Why should we, who were born here and have pledged to be buried here, allow ourselves to be duped by Ronnie Okuonzi et al. Let them create their own forum and invite their sympathizers, and empathizers, to join that forum. I recognize the individual rights and freedoms of every forumer, but the Lado issue, as advocated by Ronnie et al, is futile. I therefore beg to move that we immediately form a sanctions committee of the forumers to consider slaming sanctions on Ronie Okuonzi et al. The sanctions to award could include: 1) denying him/them the privilege of automatic posting of articles, by firsting subjecting the articles to scrunity by the sanctions committee or network administrator to consider if they, at all, merit being posted on the forum; 2) suspending him/them for a reasonable period; and 3) de-reigstering him/them altogether from the westnile forum, if he/they do not re-align their views to the popular views, common aspirations and superior interests of westniler, as being expressed on this forum, e.g., food security, quality eduaction, health care, etc. Other terms of reference for the sanctions commitee would be to craft a code of ethics and conduct for the westnilenet forumers. Ignoring persistently diversionary postings does not solve anything; your mailbox will contuine to be clogged, as the mails will continue coming anyway. Sanctions are a better restraint. Friends, I wish to avail myself of this opportunity to renew to you all, my esteemed friends, the assurances of my highest consideration.
