Where did the baby daddy surface from?
UGANDA IS A MOVIE! Do people still go to Mavuno? There was a time when belonging came from being a Mavuno member. Every celebrity could not stop reminding us about a session at Mavuno. People, Kampala moves fast and slow. There was a time it was cool to be part of Miracle Centre’s Kabandole buses. Every Sunday, the cool ones boarded the buses. Then you people shifted us to the KPC mix. And KPC was KPC.
Life in Uganda is moving both fast and slow. We could be the only country in a parallel universe. You blink for a moment and there is something completely different. But then you blink again, only to wake up in the Kampala of Sebaana. Things are both here and there. Of course we willnot talk about potholes. You know, what new thing shall we say? Are they even still potholes? We need an EFRIS for potholes. We could get serious about them after that.
In the fast lane of Kampala, we are also finding the comeback association. Firstly, if you are a serious Ugandan, you should by now realise that it matters to belong to an association. Every Ugandan should belong to some federation. For example, yours truly belongs to the Miyaayu Owners association. We take care of all the miyaayus and thus help continue this species of the strong and independent cats. The problem with a muyaayu is that it will always be a muyaayu. No matter how much love you show it, a muyaayu will always remind you that it is a muyaayu.
