green illusion

All these excuses of accountability, checks and balances is beginning to give me a stomach ache! Why suddenly is a parliament that has constantly come short when we really needed them to come through start to pretend like it really cares about public spending? Why does bureaucracy come in the way when the most vital of needs must to be dealt with? I say enough of the shenanigans and give us back our power already,. We have suffered the cold, darkness and inconvenience let alone the stall in business too long already!For starters none of this is any of the common man's fault! Why does is have to be the poor mwanainchi who gets the short end of the stick whenever some civil servant somewhere falls short of his obligations? Why not just pluck out the dry leaf and let the others be? Enough of this absurd way of living I say, we need to move beyond this constant selfishness and self gratification. We need to start thinking more of country get some good old patriotism going and build...

There are quite a number of things that incense me on facebook! This is but one of them. Why people see the need to write on an individual's 'wall' so as to signal the presence mail is completely beyond me! I understand the need urge of our generation to document our every thought and action but this I find no more than a very local cheap attempt at seeking some sort of exclusivity and attention in an otherwise very public forum!You could be thinking that simply sending it is not enough, you have got to shout about it too in order to cause attention and annoy the sleepy neighbors while you are at it. I mean if a message is sent, it is obvious that the recipient will know of it by the red flag or notification via email. That leaves your extra attempt to publicize it only and only pitiful. If you really wanted to be private by sending a message, don't you think that you beat the cause by making it known to everyone else? Do you see what am talking about? But I gues...

The thing about guys like Qaddafi who refer to themselves as "revolutionaries", as people who saved their countries with the change they ushered in when they took power is that they have their roots entrenched so deep in every facet of the state that you could be forgiven for thinking them the state. It is the reason why you shall have no thought at the mention of Zimbabwe, North Korea or Cuba other than that of the leaders! Now for such guys civil movements(springs) as was the case with Tunisia and more recently Egypt are almost impossible!If tried then one should brace himself for loads and loads of pain, grief and suffering. Overthrowing their kind is by no means an easy feat. These guys in most cases have ruled for quite a number of years and in their heavy handedness have piled up quite a number of foes. It is for that reason that staying in power becomes a matter of absolute importance, a matter of life and death! After you have possessed and enjoyed so much power f...

Sometimes it comes off as flattering, and we get to have a laugh about it maybe even go ahead and have a bath in it(irony) but sometimes it just lowdown annoying and pretty disgusting! You seem to be this, you look to be that, then you are that and not this....(gasps)! It gets really bad when you are treated differently basing on assumptions! Will you just ask me already?, Get to know me at the very least? When you do you will find that I like many you have perceived are not anything you think! I am not my skin, not the hair on my head, not the look of my eyes or the clothes I wear! You will find that I am me, a special me a clear image free of myths concocted in your head! Many times we are judged harshly by others who seem to think we are what they'd like us to be and this affects the relations we have with them! I mean just because we look the part or rather the stereotype does not mean we slot right into it! It is only fair that we do not make wild presuppositions about a...

listen up, am going to try to make this real fast and simple: I did not know yow, I hardly know yow now, and clearly unless the world spins so fast around am not going to know you in quite a while so quit sticking around and get on the road if you have to because am not going to loose even a whiff of sleep over a bad, bad waste of my time like you!

Over the last couple of days I have been called so many things by a a few of the women i know;'slow', 'unfocused' and one even went ahead to accuse me of not Knowing what is I want in life! (gasps....) Apparently I have not been trying hard enough to convince them that they belong with me, that I have not sang praises sweet enough and neither have I drowned them with the kind of flattery they dream of every time they think of the metaphorical prince charming....(gasps again) Is it 'supposed' to be like that, are we not mature enough in perception of even the very basic of things as emotion is? Why would you not know that I was treating you in a rather special sort of way Missy? Are you that plain or am I the one short of ability huh! So you got me thinking why I can't get through to you, why am I not feeling the itch, the rush the uumph to do "everything" in my reach to get you! You see am having a bit of a problem telling the difference between my...

Olara Otunnu Mao billed as Uganda's "Obama", the man who would woe Uganda's largely youthful electorate and Otunnu the blast from the past, the man with weights of diplomatic experience on his side who was seen as the shot in the arm that the Uganda' Peoples Congress so badly needed to keep afloat! These two candidates for Uganda's presidency were supposed to give the traditional favourites, Dr Besigye and incumbent Mr Museveni a run for their money and make the 2011 polls the most exciting yet! However after 106 days of nationwide campaigns these two fellas have nothing to show for their troubles except a disgraceful 0% a piece in the recent opinion polls!All that is now left is official documentation of their total waste of tax payers monies and time in just under four days when the polls are held! The question is what happened? How did they manage to turn such promise into nothing and absurdity? The answer lies in their respective strategies! Otunnu for one...
