Re: [WestNileNet] Walking the talk (Muni University)
Hello Richard, Don't lose hope! Keep hope alive because it is the only thing that can sustain you in the most hopeless situation, man! I share your frustration and the frustration of many others on this forum for the endless talks without actions. Around 2009/20120 when the forum was taking shape there was a vigorous debate about who we are and purpose of our existence. Many constructive suggestions were made. Some people wanted this forum to be a development forum and others wanted it to just be a network forum. In fact the most popular name that emerged after a vote was West Nile Development Forum, if I remember well, but it seems the leadership was uncomfortable with that and the vote was ignored and more discussions went on until we became "Westnile Net". The Bible says "watch your tongue for in it lies the power of destruction or life." We don't pick names at random because a name is a signifier. They signify the identity of the object named. You will always be what you call yourself because your name means you. It is therefore not a surprise that West Nile Net is very active in virtual interaction on the net but completely inactive in development activities on ground. There is nothing in our existential identity that connects us to grass root activities so far. People should not expect too much from us in this forum because we doing well in what we can do best "engage each other on the net." Kindly understand our situation, ladies and gentlemen! We are not actually doing badly in as far as our core identity and mission is concerned. We can support others in doing what you are accusing us of not doing which may technically be within our mandate as West Nile Net. (NB. The views expressed in this piece are not necessarily those of its founders or its leadership and they should not cause unnecessary disaffection.) Thanks.

[WestNileNet] Walking the talk to Muni University
Dear Colleagues, It is true that quite a lot has been discussed and it is like time for implementation is long overdue. I can sense that some people are losing hope and might, hold back, in future discussion. I wish to take sides: I agree that we need to do something now, else we shall never. On the other hand, West Nile, just like other regions needs economic revival. I hear about gone days (between 1960 - 1980) during which hard work was proven. Custodians of our taxes were trustworthy. They, to a larger extent, cared for all the civil servants. Consequently, security, health, education, and many other sectors of productivity took better shape. Which was why a pupil sitting for PLE in Arua public or Moyo Girls would choose and make it to either Gayaza or Sir Samuel Baker (later known as Pongdwongo). There was no need for a parent to go to an HM to 'beg' for vacancy. You just wait for your acceptance letter by the postal services. Today the sort of system of governance we are in is tending towards capitalism. I have no problem with what one does to earn a living; as long as it is morally acceptable; we should encourage our people to work as really they are hard working. Once upon a time, most Ma'di people sniggered the lugbara communities who migrated and settled among them. Generally the Lugbara women took to business of selling food and other merchandises. While most Ma'di women engaged in the 'brewery industries' producing pkhete, wiri, nguli, etc. The Ma'di woman brewing and earning a living from it, consoled herself that she was better than a 'Lubwari zi' living by doing some businesses (selling tea, sumbusa, mandazi etc). And I think the Lugbara women on their part had good reasons not to take on the 'industry' of the Ma'di women. Each was right and at the same time wrong. Today the trend seems to be duplicating itself across regions: the majority of the private security guards come from either West Nile, Northern region or Lango and Teso sub regions. Most of the workers in the sugar and tea plantations come from the same areas. I love my people and value what they do to honestly earn their living. My problem is in the situation where the hard-earned money does not get re-invested. Our people are very innovative and look forward to a better future. This was exhibited in coming up with CUCUA, and ERO. While the Lugbara people had both Ero and Cucua, the Ma'di people only depended on ero. In capitalism, consideration should be made for continued investments, not consuming profits. Check how you spend your money!!! The point I am making is that the advent of capitalism comes with challenges and the prices have to be paid. We need either to improve on our existing economic activities, or phase out the obsolete ones and adopt rather newer alternatives. Perceptions have to change and then take advantage of every opportunity to etch out economic values which then can be translated in to real cash. Without economic empowerment, the sour, otherwise bitter side of life will be the only alternative. This includes journey to Muni University. It is near us, but going there requires money. Not just money to enter University, but money to go through pre-primary education, primary, and secondary education. Some of you know what I am taking about. The current form of UPE will never lay a good foundation in our children for competitive tertiary institution. Most of the schools we have in West Nile are depending the already failing UPE - misplaced hope. What the people in this forum could do is to use the governance system already in place to suggest, but not authorise changes. The system is like a pyramid - the rule is by the top not bottom. The private sector thrives better that the public. That is why we need investors. A teacher hired to work in a private school in most cases deliver; however, those on the government pay roll will not deliver - the assumption is that all graduated from EREPI TTC . In conclusion, approach should be economic empowerment so that we can afford to send our children to schools were teachers are well motivated. Back to you.

Dear John I am so impressed by your comment. We have PhD holders in this forum and a lot of people with world class analytical skills of developmental issues. In fact I have listed 6 of those people whose intellectual aptitude in scrutinising issues in this forum surpasses so many that I created a special folder on my computer for all the extraordinary discussions they opine on the forum. Just like you, I am waiting with my fingers crossed to see how many of those who are eligible will take up positions in Muni University as lecturers.

[WestNileNet] Walking the talk (Muni University)
Mr. Okuti, I see your point and frustrations. When do we talk about performance in our region?? When PLE, UCE and UACE results are out. And who do we always blame for poor performance?? TEACHERS!! We are that simple and petty. FM radios are silent or lukewarm about education in our region. Wait for next year when results of this year will be released. Everybody is withdrawn.. let me make that general statement. I share your frustrations. May be u are challenging all of us to post here what we are doing on ground. we need pragmatists not idealists to transform our region. Some of the primary schools we went cannot give a single first grade. What have we done? I think those are the issues you are trying to raise.
