9th October of every year since 1962 – the day and year when the British colonialists decided to grant the country they first named Uganda Protectorate, then Commonwealth Realm of Uganda and then Uganda, political independence, is ritually celebrated as “Independence Day” since then.
However, whenever we celebrate it, we never ask whether the British really meant to give the country independence , or simply to have a black man in power, but in reality ensure that power remained with them well in the future, and that whichever black man in power, served their post-colonial interests.
The British colonialists left behind a Constitution of Uganda 1962 that allowed 15 traditional nation states to manifest together as a cluster in their (British) new mega nation, which has since been called Uganda. The nation states were: Acholi, Ankole, Buganda, Bugisu, Bukedi, Bunyoro, Busoga, Karamoja, Kigezi, Lango, Moyo, Sebei, Teso, Toro, West Nile.
They were somewhat linked economically and administratively through the centre. The Centre continued to govern the way the colonialists governed through District Commissioners and Provincial Commissioners (that is, one for each of then existing provinces: Buganda, Eastern, Northern and Western).
The nation states enjoyed some degree of autonomy from the mega nation, but there were no adequate safeguards to protect them from a predatory mega- state with power-hungry and greedy agents of the State. They practiced identity politics. And for those, which were preserved in the Constitution as feudal entities or kingdoms ( Ankole, Buganda, Bunyoro and Toro) and the semi-feudal Territory of Busoga, their identity politics was quite advanced.
They were both culturally and politically strong, and could initiate their own development programmes and implement them without reference to the Centre. However, whatever was the case, the whole country was designed politically and economically to provide raw materials for the former colonial masters and as a labour reserve as well as a market for their manufactured goods. If that was independence, it was laughable independence.
The education system the colonialists left behind was neither emancipating no democratic. it was supposed to produce graduates that would only link into the global education and communications system dominated by the English language, with standards of excellence that are eurocentric. it is difficult to talk of independence if an education system is designed to serve interest politics of former colonial masters.
As we celebrate the 59th “Independence” of Uganda the process initiated by the NRM Government to destroy the identities of the 15 nation states that formed Uganda has almost reached a climax. They have been divided into numerous, unviable, almost noninteracting and potentially conflicting entities called Districts.
The 15 former nations have been left almost helpless in terms of culture, environment, nature and ecology, which are being abused with impunity by those in power or connected to power – both local and foreign. Many, which used to have their own sources of income no longer have them. Some of their natural resources are now owned and exploited by individuals with suspicious origins, having no cultural roots in any of the reduced nation states.
As if this is not enough to make the independence of Uganda meaningless, the MegaState, which the British left behind, has been captured by a few interest or family groups with enormous interests in power, business, education, health, agriculture, fishing, mining, you name it. They are entrenching exclusionary strategies in every sphere of life and human activity, to make sure that they have total exclusive access to and control of every available opportunity, thereby marginalizing the majority of Ugandans from the economy. They have ensured that the increasingly diminishing employment is to only certain ethnically related individuals and/or families. It is interest politics and governance in practice., both an antithesis of independence.
There is no doubt that Ugandans should be preparing for a new and meaningful independence beyond their 59 years of meaningless independence. It is necessary to reconsider Centrism and its tendency to favor “anti-independence” interests, forces and actors, and to give new thought to the idea of Federalism as a means left to Ugandans to recover lost independence. Later will be too late.

Known for being in controversies especially on social media, Swangz Avenue songbird Nakanwagi Winnie commonly known as Winnie Nwagi has blasted a fan for poking his nose in her affairs.
The short tempered bootlicious musician does not only beat her housemaids but also fans if you cross the line to poke in her affairs that don’t matter to you.
While urging one of her fans to mind his business, Nwagi told him bold that he should go and follow his family members if he’s moved by the way she parades her perfect booty.
In her reply to a one Sadat2864 who commented that “Weyambulile ddala tumanye” which leterally means that undress completely and we see, Winnie Nwagi told him that “Yasamila Kubewamwe wamma”

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden on Friday issued the first-ever presidential proclamation of Indigenous Peoples’ Day, lending the most significant boost yet to efforts to refocus the federal holiday celebrating Christopher Columbus toward an appreciation of Native peoples.
The day will be observed Oct. 11, along with Columbus Day, which is established by Congress. While Native Americans have campaigned for years for local and national days in recognition of the country’s indigenous peoples, Biden’s announcement appeared to catch many by surprise.
“This was completely unexpected. Even though we’ve been talking about it and wanting it for so long,” said Hillary Kempenich, an artist and member of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa. In 2019, she and other tribal members successfully campaigned for her town of Grand Forks, N.D., to replace Columbus Day with a day recognizing Native peoples.
“I’m kind of overwhelmed with joy,” said Kempenich. She was waiting Friday afternoon for her eighth-grade daughter, who grew up challenging teachers’ depictions of Columbus, to come home from school so Kempenich could share the news.
Biden declares October 11 Indigenous People’s day
Same thing Chavez did in Venezuela at the beginning of his government
I hope Americans are smart enough to realize this is part of an agenda and not an initiative that will traduce in benefits for indigenous communities
“For generations, Federal policies systematically sought to assimilate and displace Native people and eradicate Native cultures,” Biden wrote in the Indigenous Peoples’ Day proclamation. “Today, we recognize Indigenous peoples’ resilience and strength as well as the immeasurable positive impact that they have made on every aspect of American society.”
In a separate proclamation on Columbus Day, Biden praised the role of Italian Americans in U.S. society, but also referenced the violence and harm Columbus and other explorers of the age brought about on the Americas.
Making landfall in what is now the Bahamas on Oct. 12, 1492, Columbus, an Italian, was the first of a wave of European explorers who decimated Native populations in the Americas in quests for gold and other wealth, including people to enslave.
“Today, we also acknowledge the painful history of wrongs and atrocities that many European explorers inflicted on Tribal Nations and Indigenous communities,” Biden wrote. “It is a measure of our greatness as a Nation that we do not seek to bury these shameful episodes of our past — that we face them honestly, we bring them to the light, and we do all we can to address them.”
White House press secretary Jen Psaki said Biden “felt strongly” about recognizing Indigenous Peoples Day. Asked if Biden might seek to end marking Columbus Day as a federal holiday, she replied, “I don’t have any predictions at this point.”
Biden’s acknowledgment of the suffering of Native Americans also marked a break from President Donald Trump’s ardent defense of “intrepid heroes” like Columbus in his 2020 proclamation of the holiday.
“Sadly, in recent years, radical activists have sought to undermine Christopher Columbus’ legacy,” Trump said at the time. “These extremists seek to replace discussion of his vast contributions with talk of failings, his discoveries with atrocities, and his achievements with transgressions.”
Biden made the announcement on the same day the White House was disclosing its plans to restore territory to two sprawling national monuments in Utah that Trump had stripped of protections. One, Bears Ears, is on land that Native American tribes consider sacred.
Biden’s campaign against Trump saw tribal activists mobilize to get out votes for the Democrat, in activism that tribal members credited with helping Biden win some Western states.
Speaking to Spurs Tv, Fabio Paratici has backed north London based Tottenham Hotspur to build something big and produce the best style of football.
The Italian was hired by Daniel Levy as the new director of football of Tottenham earlier this summer after he did a stellar job at Juventus. Thus, he came in with a good reputation and immediately got to work at the North London Club.
The transfer strategy was clear as spurs targeted young players. Bryan Gil, Cristian Romero, Pape Matar Sarr, and Emerson Royal were brought in, while Perluigi Gollini at 26, was also a good acquisition.
Although things are yet to click and fall into place under new boss Nuno Espirito Santo, Paratici ie eyeing the bigger picture as he believes that the Lilly whites have the potential to build something big. The 49-year-old told Spurs Tv
“When I spoke about the big picture, it’s this, we have the best infrastructure in the world, amazing fans, we are in a big city, the best city in Europe, so we have everything to build something really, really big”
Paratici was also asked about his plan at the club and he responded instantenously.
“Choose the right players, about mentality first, about the style of football second. To build the best team and the best style of football we can. This is our target, it is not so difficult to think this, but we have to know what we have to do to achieve this”
Infact, Paratici did not just manage to sign good young players but also convince Harry Kane to stay at the club despite a lot of interest from big money clubs like Manchester city.
Thus, with the long-term plans laid out clearly, Spurs will be hoping to achieve the targets and get back into the Champions league and compete for the biggest trophies on a regular basis.

Screen Shot from Tiwa’s SextapeNigerian Singer Tiwa Savage Explains How Her Sextape Got Leaked
Nigerian music star Tiwa Savage says she’s being blackmailed over a sextape of herself and her partner which got leaked few days ago. The panic-stricken musician has opened up during an Interview with American OAP, Angie Mertinez of Power 105.1.
Speaking to Angie Martinez, Tiwa revealed that people close to her deliberately leaked the sextape where she was in the ‘battle at Babylon of do me I, do you with her partner’. The blackmailer got hold of it and is pestering her to pay him cash such that he doesn’t release it to the public for optical nutrition.
“It is not from some one working closely with me. What happened is that the person did it on Snap and he posted it by accident, but he quickly deleted it.
However, some one got it before he could delete it. It is a very short video, but it is me. It’s is going to be out there and I can just imagine the memes. I just found out yesterday. I could not sleep last night” narrates Tiwa.
The singer also said she tried to manage the situation but to no avail
“We tried to stall them, but I later decided that I am going to own the narrative. I am not ashamed of it: this is someone I am dating; I am not cheating neither is he. We are grownups.
I can not believe this is happening to me. I feel for my fans because they will keep defending me. I an switch off my phone or have some one run my account so I do not see that, but my fans will feel the need to protect me. I will like my fans to ignore it”
The singer hinted that the blackmailer sent the sex video of herself and her current date to her team demanding money.
Tiwa savage who is set to release her new smash hit titled “Somebody’s Son” featuring American Singer Brandy, on Tuesday also encourage her over 13 million fans who would like to protect her and defend her to let it go.
She only assured the blackmailer that she would rather leak the video herself that paying him huge cash because even after paying him, he will later after two months or years release it.
Indeed, both players notched three Premier League goals each in the month of September, although the Egyptian outperformed his counterpart in terms of take-ons, shots on target and duels won.
Salah’s form may also have been more noticeable because his phenomenal scoring rate continued in European competition, taking his season’s tally to nine already.
Players like Ivan Toney, Thiago Silva and Mateo Kovacic may also feel aggrieved that they were overlooked for the accolade.
Muhammad Salah
Some have implied that Ronaldo’s recognition is down to his headline-grabbing return, and the fact that he is now the most recognisable and marketable face in the division.
The Portuguese firing in goals at Old Trafford is something fresh and exciting, while Salah putting up extraordinary numbers is frankly nothing new.
Fascinatingly, both players are more than capable of keeping this furious pace up all season, so it remains to be seen who will take home individual silverware in the coming months.

Following the arrest of Next Media journalists Kaiyz Kawalya, Brian Wako and William Mako over communication libel against Omulangira Suuna yesterday and later remanded to Kitalya prisons until 15th of this month, more details have been unleashed.
Details reveal that one of the three incarcerated journalists Kayz was once warned by singer Bruno K that the way he jumps with words on every one will one day land him in jail and it was the reason Omulangira Sunna would send him to Kitalya and even throw away the keys.
In the video that has been unveiled during a 4th September 2021 ‘Uncut Sabula’ show and it’s making rounds on social media, Kayz who hit at Bruno K for not concentrating on Music but just wasting most of his time with NTV’s Faridah Nakazibwe prompted Bruno K to predict the arrest of the talkative journalist who is now behind bars at Kitalya.
When told that Suuna will one day send him to Kitalya, Kayz hurriedly asked Bruno K who Omulangira Suuna is before going for a commercial break. The prediction has come to pass.
