Hi Caleb, Thank you for responding to my views especially on the changing of the name of Makerere Arua Students Union (MASU) to Lugbara Makerere Students Association. We have expressed our views. Patrick Okuni has expressed his in favor of retaining the name of MASU. Let others also express theirs and we can filter through the views to guide our brothers and sisters at Makerere. I genuinely respect all the views expressed even when i may disagree with others. It is through such diversity of opinions that we can see things from a better perspective. Thank you Sam Andema

You know MASU depicted Makerere Arua Students Union, historical cultural identity or not, Arua is a district initially comprising of Ayivu, Maracha, Vura, Madi Okollo, Koboko, Yumbe and Terego. Now lets face this Koboko is not in Arua, Yumbe is not in Arua and Maracha Terego are not in Arua. Which Arua are we talking about. The Arua not of the old but a narrow Arua shriveled by bad politics which has imploded and has only Vura, Ayivu and Madi Okollo. Lets be realistic. Sam, me and you and Nkanga and others wish that we have MASU. But the young generation will look at a name Arua and just as people from Koboko and Yumbe have done, they will imagine they are now hailing from another district and they will be correct as they will not be hailing from Arua. Think about it and get back to us. However the truth will be that they are all Lubgara's whether from Yumbe, Ayivu, Terego, Maracha, Madi Okollo or Vura. As for cosmopolitanism. Its in each town but it does not deprive the fact that Kampala is in Buganda. _______________________________________________ WestNileNet mailing list WestNileNet@kym.net http://orion.kym.net/mailman/listinfo/westnilenet % WestNileNet is generously hosted by INFOCOM http://www.infocom.co.ug/ The above comments and data are owned by whoever posted them (including attachments if any).
