Patrick Onen Ezaga,
I like you comment I have attached below. "Let us wait to see how many of our
people will be in Muni University in a few years to come." Already West Nilers
are fewer than those from "Across the Nile" at the NTC just next door. Having
the university there should not cause unnecessary excitement. Yet the NTC
admits people with comparatively lower points compared to a public university.
We need to address the core causes as to why our students are not competing
favourably nationally.
I have been invigilating undergraduate exams at Makerere University in the last
two weeks. In a room of about 70 students u may get one or no West Niler. The
numbers are miserable. The situation may even be worse in other colleges within
the university.
If we don't all go down to contribute to the development of education in our
region, we shall just be making noise. The much acclaimed Muni university will
benefit other people. Our students will continue to go to these universities
"whose papers need explanations". They are already many in the region.
Let's do something. I hate this business of other people thinking that we are
good at digging or security guards.. I am not willing and will not be happy to
see our people employed as office messengers or watchmen, cooks...etc. Those
are good but not good enough.

Winnie,
I am in with both legs on this one. This is what walking the talk means.
Actually I have a few books on the shelf and I have seen my house helpers use
some in the sigiri!!
Kindly indicate a drop off/collection point so that those committed enough can
pass by with their text books. MUNI UNIVERSITY has come alive as the 6th Public
University in Uganda. This should drastically reduce costs of university
education for our brethren. Whereas many parents could be able to grapple with
tuition fees, other costs especially feeding, accommodation and daily transport
to class make it impossible for our kin to progress. Let us wait to see how
many of our people will be in Muni University in a few years to come.
Otherwise, thank you for starting to walk the
talk. Patrick Onen Ezaga

Ezaga,Its time for action, baby steps will get us somewhere... We cannot wait
in perpetuity.
How about we start by collecting old textbooks our children no longer use?
Whatever we collect can then be sent to a school that is in need!
your thoughts please...

Hello all,
How many of us who are skilled in rhetoric on this net have attended the WNF
meetings in person, let alone send an apology for absence? The net has well
over 300 people (I guess) but it would be a miracle to get 20 people in
attendance at meetings (of course excluding members in the diaspora).
Just wondering,

Dear all,
Have you heard people say " talking is cheap" ? That is what we do in this
forum. The problem will go away by talking it away on the internet. God PLEASE,
BLESS US or GIVE US WISDOM TO HELP OURSELVES! We should not raise hope when we
can not DELIVER.
I hope next year all will be OK.
Thank you all.

Winnie,
Good question about the education project. I can tell that you were not in the
discussions of such a similar education project sometime back in 2009 or 2010.
The reactionary mode we discuss these issues on the forum and the issue quickly
disappears after such emotional discussions is not new in this forum. Since
that time when the issue came up was there any organized arrangements to carry
forward the issue? If I am not mistaken, you were one of the volunteers who
suggested your name to help in the committee. Were there any committee meetings
since then? We have a serious problem in volunteering to help ourselves,
inspite of some of the emotional arguments we make when such serious issues
such the education issues comes around....I still remember what Mr. Ejiku
opined about the issue.....when he alluded to commitment and dedication of
people when we think of addressing such problems.....Whatever happened to the
issue, wait
till when the next results are out and we shall be at that emotional and
reactionary mode for a short while and it will again disappear and we just keep
on with the cycle as long as we are alive...... that is how the West Nile Forum
operates.

Just wondering whatever became of our outbursts, proposals, recommendations to
improve the education sector in Westnile? Was a committee ever appointed? What
initiatives have been put in place or are we waiting for the next PLE/UCE/UACE
results to express our disgust with the results?
just asking
