A decision to love in the most excellent way

2011-08-09T11:11:00.000-07:00

And so I made a resolution. One of the wildest that I have made in the last few years. I just chose to love another way and resolved to love in that other way the next time I get involved with someone. I want to selflessly love someone. That means that I will love her with all my heart regardless of whether she loves me back. I want to give my all and expect nothing from her. I want to do this

More than just a writer

2011-07-07T03:40:00.000-07:00

I am not just a writerFor to say that I am just a writerIs to say that I am no more thanA kid in baby classThat scribbles ink on paper. I am not just a writerBut may be a skillful player of soccerThe soccer of wordsFor I can kick, control or just play with a wordI can put a word on my headShift it to my chestAnd then transfer it to my kneesTill that word is placed right under my feet. So, I can

An accidental fall from Hell

2011-07-05T02:03:00.000-07:00

There I was, battling with a tree. My little arms holding its trunk in a tight grip with my feet that were curved like a bow firmly pasted unto the tree nearly a quarter of a meter below my arms. I had just started my way up this tree. This was one of those gigantic beasts that bore mango fruits that were very attractive. They were so attractive that despite its massive physique, I always had to

Heaven Prayerphone Network

2011-06-29T04:26:00.000-07:00

Just in case you are interested in the Heaven Prayerphone Network you have to use one model of phones called "Prayer 311". The batteries of these phones are rechargeable and but with faith which only comes by connecting to the power that flows through the electrons of the word of God (Remember that biblical adage that faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of God). Besides you do not need

Crushed by crushes

2011-06-28T00:45:00.000-07:00

I have been “crushed” so many times that if those incidents had been physical I would be but a deformed piece of dry and flat Atapa (millet bread). Crush number 1 was in my primary school on a daughter on of a Muteso. That girl was so angelic that every time I dozed off in class I would dream holding hands with that beauty and walking down the aisle. But then when I left primary school my dreams

Uganda’s detestable ghosts to vie for political offices

2011-06-25T04:35:00.000-07:00

The first time I got really threatened by a ghost was back then when I was still in high school. I was in one of those schools in Jinja and it is called Kiira College Butiki I remember the name of that ghost was Whiteman. Whiteman was the last thing any student could ever desire to meet on the school compound in the wee hours of the night. Some of us feared Whiteman so much that even during

2011-05-28T03:47:00.000-07:00

Animatta Forna's first book Aminatta Forna was born in Glasgow and raised in West Africa or to be precise in Sierra Leone, a country whose pathetic history provided the needed inspiration on which Aminatta depended to publish her award winning book “The memory of love.” The Memory of love won the prestigious Commonwealth Writers Prize 2011 in the category of the Best Book.

The clash of wishes

2011-05-14T01:41:00.000-07:00

If you read newspapers and if all all newspapers around the world are similar to the Ugandan newspapers like the New Vision, then I am sure you have come across articles that have headlines like "Ten things women wish men knew" or "Ten things men wish women knew." Such articles will then go on to list a barrage of hypothetical wishes of men or women. It is just amazing that women claim that they

THE MYSTERY OF LOVE SERIES- Serie One

2011-05-09T07:15:00.000-07:00

One of the best poets of love Shakespeare is quoted to have said that “love is to be very strongly attracted to someone in an emotional and sexual way.” Expressions like: I love you. We love each other and we are going to get married are used. Love can also be described as having very much care about someone, especially members of your family or close friends. Expressions like; I love my children

And so what is love?

2011-04-16T03:32:00.000-07:00

It may sound like it is childish for a WHOLE 22- year old man to be wondering what the hell the meaning of love is on this planet. But then I would like to beg that before we cast the first stone, let us first examine our selves and find out whether we really understand this madness called love. Now I know many of you in a bid to understand what love is, have been reading all kinds of articles

To be or not to be a gentleman

2011-04-15T04:39:00.000-07:00

Sometimes I pity daughters of men that dream of meeting gentlemen on this planet. To be sincere there are not so many gentlemen on this planet. Or at least to be specific on this continent that belongs to African sons of men. Obviously some of these ladies more so campus chics will watch some of those actors sijuyi a certain Salvardo or Antonio pulling a chair for a one Barbarita in soaps and

When they are single, Christian and heading to hell

2011-04-04T06:16:00.000-07:00

"My name is Brother Zakaria Tiberindwa a.k.a Musumba Zaake...My status...umm...deeply hooked to a cantankerously gorgeous babe." Obviously such a powerful intro will be followed by a heavily chorused exclamation of "Ehh Maama!" and loud musings of "Oba who is that ka lucky babe?" from the

DRUGS WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE

2011-03-31T11:06:00.000-07:00

I had never learnt about the relevance of lunch hour fellowships until one day.I was invited by my friend to attend one. The guest speaker preached about a very sensitive area (Effects of Drug Abuse and Alcoholism) affecting the youth of today. It is in this fellowship that I managed to learn the true meaning of a drug; this is a chemical substance which alters the functioning of the body,

Uganda's leading Opposition candidate Dr. Kiiza Besigye could turn out to be a sumptouos sausage

2011-03-21T08:49:00.000-07:00

I could not believe it. I swear, I could hardly believe it when Mzee promised to eat our brother Kiiza Besigye and his opposition companions like "Cakes and Samosas." I always thought it is only those burgers in the August House of this country that love eating cake and Samosas but wapi even Mzee enjoys eating some of these things. However what mesmerized me more was the fact that our president

Tricks of winning Ugandan Voters

2011-02-28T23:07:00.000-08:00

You might wonder what pulls the crowds when a politician is "making his points". I have had a lot of fun during the on going campaigns and elections in this country. In Mbarara, while at a rally, one politician said,"I will build roads for you, I will plant new forests...." and it all seemed like it was not a joke until he broke my lungs with laughter when he deceptively added "I will build dams

A LOVER'S DECISION

2011-02-21T09:48:00.000-08:00

I will go to the streets and testify of God’s goodness and glory, I will also testify of my lover’s softness and beauty. I will always put God first in all I do and to my lover, I will gladly say; “you come second to no other but only God.” I will hold her in higher esteem than all the daughters and sons of men on this planet but God I will hold in the highest of all. "If God gave you to me

A dance to the gates of hell

2011-02-16T01:48:00.000-08:00

I danced that day. My legs were all rattled up and my bones were ready to shake to the legendary Ntogoro (The Banyoro cultural dance). I had spent the previous night awake and kicking, rehearsing and practicing for that dance. I am quite certain I never danced as well as to have been noticed by most of the people in that hall while I was up on that stage but at least I am privileged to have been

I paid for grand pa's sins of wife beating

2011-02-02T06:18:00.000-08:00

The other day my grand father was narrating to me how he used to wallop my grand mother during the days of his youth and intimating to me how he believes slapping and kicking a woman here and there not to be something as wicked as many people of this generation think it to be. I swear I was so baffled that I pulled my chair closer to eagerly listen to those extreme assertions of my grandfather as

The pains of being a Pastor's son

2011-01-29T06:11:00.000-08:00

I used to marvel at Pastors and their families a decade ago. I loved the way the children were treated in church, given those very front seats in the houses of the almighty. The juices they kept sipping, and the pride they swallowed especially when their Dad ( the pastor) made reference to one of them) all left me begging down in my heart that one day I should be a pastor's kid too. This seems to

linking science to supernatural powers and magic

2011-01-21T08:39:00.000-08:00

LINKING SCIENCE TO SUPER NATURAL POWERS AND MAGIC Many of us are reluctant to think of supernatural powers as simply a high level of science and technology, even so the idea seems so far fetched but I have taken time musing about this phenomenon and am sure I have a conviction now.I believe these two aspects can come to be looked at as related subjects in that they have a symbiotic relationship

Why I love to hate weddings

2011-01-11T00:25:00.000-08:00

Now I had always thought weddings were all about carrying one's thrilled soul into the house of God, exchanging rings, promising to live together till death does you part throwing you into hell or heaven wherever you deserve to be thrown and living happily there after but wapi that is not the case. It is not the case at least not from what I heard from my friend, James who tied the knot recently.

THE CHRISTMAS FUN

2010-12-22T11:35:00.000-08:00

I have always wondered what exactly Christmas contains. Every body tends to get so busy for the day. I have for long thought it was only a day for Christians and one time i was forced not to think christian when i was in a mull about this whole idea of Christmas. Some one should help me or liberate me, who came up with the date of Christmas, who actually recorded the date of the birth of Jesus

Born Again brothers should either style up or force the sisters into hell

2010-12-15T01:25:00.000-08:00

Many of you must have heard some of our Christian sisters complaining mbu Christian brothers are sluggish when it comes to matters of expressing feelings of love. And there is a general feeling among the few sisters that shared with me their experiences with the Christian brothers that those allegations against our brothers are nothing but the truth and only the truth. One of those sisters in
