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.

Knowing and Perception
 
LADO SAGA  as  few people of you  may call it but we Ladoans are quite aware of 
our perception and qualitatively live with our immaginations , mirage , 
Fantacies which characterises the true thinking  human mind . 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. These are not topics we will address in this article t

[WestNileNet] TECHNOLOGY WINS OVER HISTORY TO END ".....SAGA"

2009-09-15 Thread robert obetia

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.

language in which the proceedings are conducted or who is deaf has the right to

There have been several important court decisions on the applications of these

chapters. In particular, s.8, s.9, and s.10 and parts of s.11 will be outlined 
in Chapter Five which discusses pre-trial procedure. Cases concerning the

EXAMPLES OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS IN THE CHARTER 
Fundamental freedoms: Freedom of conscience religion thought belief opinion and 
expression freedom of peaceful assembly and association

Democratic right: The right of Canadian citizens to vote or to run for office.

Mobility rights: The right of Canadian citizens to enter remain in and leave 
Canada and the right of Canadian citizens and permanent residents to live and

The Charter also protects the two official languages of Canada French and 
English. The charter has special importance to criminal law. To enforce the law 
protect the public and prosecute offenders police and others in the criminal 
justice system are given certain powers and authority to interfere with 
individual liberty. For example the power to search and to make arrests are 
significant infringements of personal freedom. The charter serves an important 
function of setting out rules of procedure for exercising these powers and 
limitations on the authority allowed to law enforcement personnel. The most 
important rights for criminal law are the legal rights set out in s.7-s. 14. 
Section 7 states:

7. Everyone has the right to life liberty and security of the person and the 
right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of 
fundamental justice.

This general statement says that a person cannot be denied life liberty or 
security of the person without the principles of fundamental justice being

that it is up to the courts to develop the limits of these tenets. In other

Hi Colleagues
 
Some of us have been relatively silent, but fully associate with the popular 
sentiments regarding the diversionary postings on this forum. I truly hope that 
by implementing the very good recommendations from Mike and Richard we can 
bring some sanity back to this group.
 
On a positive note I collected the contribution from Dr. Worodria (all the way

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 West Nile  has been singled out by the 
Government of Uganda for starvation for political reasons

Subject: [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

Subject: [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.

know what is happening to our people socially, economically, educationally,

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

[WestNileNet] What We Fear

*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.

RE: [WestNileNet] LADO SAGA

2009-09-15 Thread MIKE BUGASON


 

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.
 
Mike

[WestNileNet] LADO SAGA

2009-09-15 Thread ronald okuonzi
*Knowing and Perception*

LADO SAGA  as  few people of you  may call it but we Ladoans are quite aware
of our perception and qualitatively live with our immaginations , mirage ,
Fantacies which characterises the true thinking  human mind . 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. These are not topics we will address in this article
though.

What is essential in our view is the ability to accept and understand the
foundation on which we perceive life and be willing to reflect upon whether
this interpretation of life is creating the life we envision for ourselves.
The consequences of our perceptions are the markers that can tell us if
there are elements, in our view on life, invisible to ourselves which are
affecting the process of creating our lives.
All that occurs we must own and accept as our creation and until we truly
understand our perceptions of life and stop confusing them with “knowledge”
we will not really understand what we are attempting to create and could
allow ourselves to be controlled by concealed or unconcealed warped
negativities within our perception and personality. Or we can develop such
dark spots within our inner life.
