[WestNileNet] MASU Finalist Party
Hey Hey Hey, I have seen the reactions and I feel all of you are right. perhaps lets keep the thing as MASU. after all as long as we are still around we shall always claim Arua as our district and the other "districtias' shall always be our villages. The rest will sort it self when are long gone and we shall not by that time have the right to complain.

RE: [WestNileNet] MASU Finalist Party
Hi Caleb, Anguzu etc, Just wondering whether the document of MASU spells out what the "Arua" in M.A.S.U represents and maybe availing the document to all to appreciate what really MASU is for and what it does. A great Holy week and enjoy the Easter season.

However Caleb I also think the Lugbara name might alienate some ethnic groups like Madi (as Okuni said I am a Madi too). We therefore need to review these issues and come up with an association that takes care of the bigger old Arua regardless of tribes. Thanks.

RE: [WestNileNet] MASU Finalist Party
Hi Sam, Okuni, To an extent I agree with Caleb in that if we leave MASU as is, then you Sam and the Calebs are not going to have your siblings or even children subscribe to this - you will even find it difficult to call your self an ancestor yet you belong to "Matego" district and probably have an association of your district as MMSU or something like that. Arua district now is a smaller thing (The politicians have messed it up for their own gains and we can't do much about that now, however we can work from what we have and still stay together and guide the younger generation together because we know we are one - regardless of those lines they draw across rivers called borders to separate us. The younger generation might not understand this because ever since they started to understand issues they have found themselves coming from, Koboko District, Yumbe District, Matego District, and who knows soon Madi Okollo District and not the original Arua, the one we the older generation belong to.
