Dear brothers and sisters, I agree whole heartdly with Matua. This organization should not be used for other purpose other than what it was intended for- help our starving community. This lado is 80s issue, which I thought is dead because there was no support from us. Let history teach us about trying to break away from Uganda. Biafra is a good example for those who followed problems in Nigeria after Ojuku (right!) tried to do that. We have been scatered around the world because of stupid wars and it would happen again if we tried ot go Lado way. Our neighboring countries are tired of us and no one wants to run again and REALLY WANTS TO LIVE there! Please let us discuss raising money and how well to use it. That is all. Thanks. Adiga Godi.

To: "A Virtual Network for friends of West Nile" <westnilenet@kym.net> Date: Wednesday, September 9, 2009, 2:32 AM Dear All friends of West Nile, I am sorry i have been out of touch for some time now. My greatest appreciation goes to those gallant members of the community who have been raising funds for the hunger project. I am very proud of them all. I will be getting in touch with Anguzu for my contributions. However , what stuck me was the manner in which the issue of Lado state is being pushed onto this forum and how this may affect our important mission of pulling the region from its current state of slow growth. Dear friends as Alaka has rightly observed, there is lack of attention to the lado postings. In my view this has not been because people do not know about it. Infact many people know alot however, the manner it is being brought here is threatening to turn this apolitical , non partisan and non religious organisation into a rebel realing organisation and as citizen of Uganda and West Nile region , the seceesion (break way) ideas being pushed should stop imediately.... i may sound rude but ... i think we are better off thinking about how we can use our ideas of building the region than thinking of forming a new state.. My view is let us stick to the point of non- political organisation and as you all know ... creation of states or better still break away states has and always will not be an easy and enviable thing... so please those on the statehood matters and rebellion should form their own list serve and let the majority attend to social /economic and educational issues in the region. I am abit tough but i think ... i do not want to see the Opoka's ( former Guild President , MUK) from the list serve as the reparcation are obvious. We as a region already have enough problems to grapple with.. so the state thing is a total repice for disaster.... the majority ... what is your view... are we diverting or not from the original view... Your comments and suggestions are welcom!!!

I just wanted to know whether Lado Kingdom had an army, a council of elders, a distinct language, and a king. If it had a king, was it hereditary. I wonder why other pre-colonial Kingdoms survived the colonial tsunami but not Lado. For instance we have well documented resistances in History. the Maji Maji, the Zulu, the Banyoro, e.t.c what of Lado. How come it was easily wiped out of the world map? -----Inline Attachment Follows----- _______________________________________________ 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).
