Dear Mr. Okono-KIDDUKANO,
You are right that the British monarchy is a load of old nonsense.
But then you go on to state that you retain some respect for Queen Elizabeth 'because of the length of her reign and the suffering that her family has thrust on her'.
How can you say that? the woman, together with her husband Prince Phillip, are NAZIs.
You must know this.
One of their crimes was the murder of Princess Diana. Even today I still cry for our beloved Princess Di.
Did you see the film footage of her visit to the land mines' victims in Angola?
I knew Diana had signed her death warrant when she condemned the Rothschilds, etc... and asked the British people to rise up against these profiteers of suffering, death and mayhem.
Of course you are right when you say that " .... They provide the final proof that the best place for the hereditary principle is in the dustbin. And even more important for the destruction of social snobbery – that every person should be judged on their own individual merit, and not on who their parents are/were."
Those are sweet words, man!!
They are the exact words Ugandan ex-President Dr Apollo Milton Obote used in 1966 when he was demolishing the Mengo palace of the late Buganda King, Sir Edward Muteesa.
Either you have guts or you are naive to utter such words while living in Kampala, next to Ronald Muwenda Mutebi, a 'King' who was hoisted on a throne, and on us Baganda, by the same dark forces.
Whose throne is this one, 'donated' by Mistubishi Corporation.
Of couse Mistubishi subcontracts from Betchel Corporation. And Betchel is the bedrock of the Pentagon and the Military Industrial complex. They are out to cull the world's population to their target of of 500 million people. A figure they imagine is more controllable. The rest of us are just a superflous excess. How else would the killing of, a million in Luwero, a million in Acholi, five million in DRC make sense?
I have never understood whether their intention in reviving feudalism was to divide us the people of Uganda. i.e. While some Baganda are busy beating their drums over a throne for which none of them ever contributed a cent, puppets Museveni and Kagame grab Rwanda away from Francaphone influence.
Of course you must know that Laurent Kabila was put in power by Betchel Corporation. He wanted to play the Idi Amin game where after imperialism has put you in power, you rebel against the same imperialism. They never gave him a chance. They killed him very fast.
Their last shooting war with the 'natives' was the one in Rhodesia/Zimbabwe. After that they now steal our slogans and symbols. i.e. In the mid 1980's DeBeers/Anglo American Corporation were at the vanguard of the fanfare calling for the 'end' of apartheid and the release of Nelson Mandela.
(When other non puppet prisoners like Masemola of the PAC - 31 yrs in prison- were released, three months later it was claimed that his VW had been run over at a railway crossing)
The same supremacists were behind the restoration of 'Kingdoms' in Uganda. (They steal your slogans and symbols and distort them into irrelevance.) It is all sickening, if you asked me.
It is not that commerce is the sole driving force. This is total control for keeps.
It has taken 400 years to poison the natives of the Americas out of existence.
But remember the original prize had always been Africa ( the land of the South, i.e. Azania). Now our turn to be wiped out completely has come. Don't you see how they have poisoned us with AIDS?
As you know, the first people to have faced Anglo-Saxon slaving were the Irish. Clare Short waves this around to hide the agenda of death that she is promoting in Africa. As I said above, the forces of darkness are stealing and rendering meaningless the slogans and symbols of the Irish too; and using some you and us as their mercenaries!
While President JF Kennedy was oozing compassion and asking to be tolerated as a minority from the Catholic Irish-Americans, he was assassinating Catholic Prime Ministers Diem in South Vietnam and Patrice Lumumba in Congo. You remember?
It is a doggie doggie world out there, man!
Thank you for the articles in your Monitor column, and take care.

Roving Eye With Kevin O'Connor
Notice: Change of name Sept 14 - 21, 2003
Made this 14th day of September 2003 by me, formerly Kevin O’Connor of Kampala, Uganda. I absolutely renounce, relinquish and abandon the use of my former name of KEVIN O’CONNOR.
I assume, adopt and determine to take and use from this date hereof the name of KEVIN EKIDDUKANO QUEEN ELIZABETH GAETANO OKONO, in substitution. So it is a big day for me.
It is not often that a man changes his name. And what a challenge to get used to my new initials K.E.Q.E.G.O.
As far as I know, the word KEQEGO does not mean anything in any language. Though it is just possible that in Swazi or Indonesian it means “corruption” or “small penis” and then I could be forced to change my name for a second time.
Now for some explanation for my choice of names.
KEVIN – well, might as well maintain something from the old regime.
Just like an aged, faded shirt, that one refuses to throw away, hold on to it, because, who knows, it might be useful again in future.
EKIDDUKANO (diarrhoea) – this choice is not explained because I suffer so much from it. It is explained by a wonderful email I received following the Roving Eye article (“Can Humour Cut Across Borders?”
It was this article that attempted to introduce onto Kampala taxis the phrase “Extend, nnina ekiddukano” (move over, I have diarrhoea).
The email was from a Ugandan living in America called John. He wrote:
“I pictured myself on the metro train in the USA saying the equivalent of ‘Move Over………’ to a fellow passenger - I had a nice long laugh. Thank you for my laughs, Kevin.”
That email cheered me up, and made me so happy that I have decided to include EKIDDUKANO in my new name.
QUEEN ELIZABETH – this is included in my new name so that I will never forget that the British monarchy is a load of old nonsense.
I retain some remaining respect for Queen Elizabeth because of the length of her reign and the suffering that her family has thrust on her. But as for her children and grandchildren ……… what an awful lot they are.
They provide the final proof that the best place for the hereditary principle is in the dustbin. And even more important for the destruction of social snobbery – that every person should be judged on their own individual merit, and not on who their parents are/were.
GAETANO – if “keqego” should mean “small penis” in Indonesian, then from what the ladies have told me about the “shower hour” on Big Brother Africa (BBA), then including Gaetano in my new name will provide some balance of size.
More importantly, it will remind me that whatever the merits of BBA, we should remember that the show is commercially driven. Its main winners have not been Gaetano, not even Cherise, but the show’s sponsors, such as MTN.
And, it is not a “reality” TV show. The very first show in Europe may have been (as nobody knew what would follow). But in the many Big Brother shows around the World since then, participants know about the likelihood of money-making contracts after the show.
So although we may gain some insight into human behaviour, the shows encourage actions that “will get you noticed.” In other words, “reality TV” becomes “acting TV.”
OKONO – before my cartoon/photo began to appear with Roving Eye, there were a few readers who wrongly thought that the “O” in O’Connor meant that I was from the North of Uganda.
So let the last of my new names be Okono. An Acholi friend tells me that this translates into English as “pumpkin.”
Owing to my pointed features, I had the horrible nickname at secondary school of “Diamond Head.” I would much prefer to be called “Pumpkin Head” than “Diamond Head.”
So there we have it – my change of name fully explained. But, before any readers shout at me across a crowded Kampala street, “Hallo, Elizabeth Ekiddukano,” let me add one more word about this article – “Nsaaga” (I am joking).
