"Rwoth" Uwee, Because you simply don't understand what federo entails. Its laughable to give Nigeria, Tanzania, South Africa et ceterra as examples of federo in Africa. Nigeria is imploding despite the federo you are yapping about. If federo could solve political and economic problems in Africa, it could have solved the problems of Nigeria! South Africa, compared to the rest of African countries is a lot developed economically. Huge savvy manpower; lots of production of finished goods; better road; almost excellent transport and communication sector; Agriculturally, South Africa is way ahead. But even with all these high standard of development, still the system is not fuction the way it should! Poverty is still galore! So what is your point? Tanzania is a unique federation! Zanzibar and Pemba are in Indian Ocean. Even so, the federation has absolutely nothing to show for it save Tanzania is a federal system! Baganda are our next door neighbours; nay, our people. So, don't even go to Tanzania. Former Zaire is a bogus example. Therefore, my statement still stands! Ocii

By the way all things considered, Tanzania is a Federation. Zanzibar's is headed by a Prime Minister as compared to Tanzania Mainland which is headed by a President. Nigeria has functioned as a federal state for many years. In fact during Mobutu's reign, the Congo was a federation. The Provinces were headed by governors. These provincial governments included Kivu, Katanga whose provincial province is Lumbumbashi, Kisangani, Bar Zaire etc. Why some Ugandans have this idea that Federalism cannot work in Africa, still has defeated my understanding! musaja alumbwa <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: The usual useless Buganda/Baganda ridiculing. ocii <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Did you mean quarter pounder? Correct! Now this is learned voice. Succinctly how to bring about transformation! Thanks for making that comment Bwambuga.

Need more....? Buganda must struggle to constitutionalise its claim to seccession or "ebyaffe". Just vote Museveni out of office, take over Uganda, and sponser a cosntitutional accommodation of "ebyaffe". Other wise the talk about "ebyaffe" will become "ebbyoya bya enswa", and all the DP's et all will remain standing there with a Mcconald's plastic cup in its hand waiting for "a quarter to help a brother out".
