Does UG have national heroes? Oba it’s just vibes

Some of you may now be complaining.

LOST COUNTRY? Okay, I know some people are here mentioning Jose Chameleone. But maybe musically, but again, even Chameleone, he did not really shoot for the maximum of his talent. Someone says mbu in Uganda we get satisfied easily. Small acts of greatness and we start stepping on people’s heads…We just always cannot wait to celebrate and become motivational speakers.

You know life did throw me somewhere on the streets of Makati a few weeks ago. Surely, the name ‘Ortega’ had to be put to use in a country colonised by many – the great archipelago of the Philippines.

And while here, I was inundated with the friendliness, the lovely atmosphere, you know the Filipino feel like one big family. How these over 7,000 islands are able to do it, is a miracle! Of course, I also had to deal with the rice upon rice. It is then that I started missing this variety of carbohydrates in the Ugandan diet. Anyway, many things happened, and as the saying goes, the rule of Chatham house reigns supreme.

But people, one thing I cannot hold from you is my new hero: José Protasio Rizal Mercado y Alonso Realonda. His name is quite a paragraph, but the name of a hero ought to be mentioned in full. Some of you may now be complaining, but well, your heroic acts of sneaking bullets into lecture rooms does not hold here.
