..Kipenji, what exactly is your quarrell with Baganda...why this hatred of Bugunda and Baganda...have Baganda ever invaded your tribal area and killed your kingsmen as you northerners have done to us on several occasions..most of you have property and family in Buganda, have they ever been attacked and\or mistreated on account of being northerners. Even now that you guys are out of power and given the attrocities commited by your tribesmen against Baganda during OboteII, one would have expected retribution on a large scale from Baganda (as your Kingsmen did to Idi Amin's kingsmen and Baganda, during OboteII), but no, Baganda have not descended to such babaric levels. Anytime your kingsmen get into power, they immediately descend on Baganda and other southerners, killing our people, raping our women and destroying our property. To me that is the highest display of inferiority complex, even obote had to marry a Muganda in order to feel like a human being. This love/hate relationship is bourne out of the fact that you northerners hate and envy us but realize (unfortunately) that you can't do without us...and unfortunately that is a situation you guys have put yourselves into...it doesn't have to be that way, as Mr. Dada has been trying to drum into your thick skull. The more you write the more you expose the jealousy you have for Baganda (and southerners in general) eating deep into your soul...i'm sorry for you.
If you think Baganda are "inferior" and not as sophisticated as we make out, the i suggest you join and support the federalists, that we you and your "more developed" tribesmen can live Buganda, and go to your area and be spared the "inferior" culture and habbits of Baganda. Your inferiority complex, and other petty grudges you have against Buganda will be better soothed if you had less contact with Baganda...don't you agree Mr. Kipenji and it is only federalism that can enable that.
What amaizes me about these fellows is that in their hate mongering against Baganda, they forget (albeit conveniently) that it was because of Kabaka Mutebi's (and Buganda) support of Obote and his UPC, that Obote won Uganda's maiden elections and became Prime minister, Obote has never (and will never) won an election since, because he betrayed the trust of Buganda. Obote was the first to play the ethnic card in Ugandan politics and it has been down hill for UPC ever since...and listening to the likes of Kipeji and "Mulindwa" one clearly sees, that UPC has never learnt it's lesson and is therefore perpetually doomed to failure.
Finally, to all you Baganda and southerners who think that Museveni is bad for Uganda, wait 'till the likes of Kipenji ever get into power in Uganda then you will know what bad really is...if you pay kin attention to their postings you get a sneak preview of what to expect if they ever got power in Uganda, that will be the day you will all pray for Museveni to come back. UPC has NOTHING to offer Uganda and Ugandans except pain, poverty and disunity, that has been their record and that will always be their record.
From: Owor Kipenji <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: ugnet_: Re:t_: Museveni to talk to Mengo\Mukooza Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2004 14:09:12 +0100 (BST)
It is amazing that so called developed and therefore sophisticated
people,the like of you and your purpoted cohorts still expect to be
spoon fed with knowledge.
Are you not by inference just proving that you and your ilk are not only mundane but also anachronistic?
Development can not be defined by parameters that are not robust and
that cannot be verifiable in other settings.
What Buganda had was only administrative structures that showed the strata into which the rulers could relate with the ordinary folks in their areas.
This same arrangement existed in areas other than Buganda but had a different nomenclature which unfortunately for you with your Ntu syntax
innebriation believes since you do not understand it then it could as well not exist.
If you look at the parameters that are internationally used as a gauge of development,can you tell me what the Infant Mortality rate in Buganda is?,the Maternal mortality rate?,the life expectancy in Buganda ,the amount of disposal income available to these so called developed people
and area you keep jabbering about just as a few examples?.
If you realise that today unlike in the 1950s and 1960s Baganda are the highest consumers of Mwogo and all that they used to refer to as not food,do you still not feel ashamed to utter these nonsenses about being developed and sophisticated?.
If you also recall that the establishment at the center of your purported
development went on to urge their young girls and women to go sell their
hardware in Europe and wherever inorder to bring income to them,does that pass for being developed and sophisticated?
Any society that has no respect for women in their midst and uses them
as entertainers aka Ebimansulo,needs to rethink definitions of what it calls development and sophistication.
Have you ever heard of these litany of societal miscues anywhere from those areas you believe in your mind are not developed?.
You are putting yourselves in coccoons of a past that has become a mirage and thus accepting to be used as political condoms and that is why today Mu7 is re-sterilizing you for further use in his quest for more time in Office since he knows very well how gullible you people can be when it comes to thinking you can re-invent a wheel.To live is to Change.
From my opening statement,I am not going to spoon feed you on where
Mutebbi said what I quoted because as developed and sophisticated people you need to exercise your intellect and take advantage of the super information highway and get the neccessary information to refute
what you think is unpalatable to you.
That in a nutshell will make you indeed sophisticated for they say,the taste of the pudding is in the Eating!.
Thus to prove me wrong come up with info to the contrary rather than being passive receipients of knowledge unless your sophistication is only founded on being good Xeroxers of other peoples' ways and views.
Thank you.
Kipenji.

Failing this, I would earnestly advise you to abstain from talking about things you have not even an inkling about.
