This is against our constitution. The wanainchi can't appear before the Court Martial unless they're found with fire arms or army artifacts. When will M7 and his gang members stop raping our constitution? Doesn't he get ashamed? Does he have a conscience? Thread. #UGDecides2021
How do his family members look at him everyday and still respect him? How do you stay with such a selfish man and be comfortable? I lost my respect for all his family for not speaking even a word against his consistent disrespect of our country and its laws.
I despise all his family for massaging him as disrespects Ugandan citizens. I loathe this old man the way I loathe rapists.
We don't have a lot we can do because he always cheats in elections but let's give it one more go. Go out on 14th January and vote out this shameless man.
Make proud all those innocent people his police and army have killed over the years. Put a smile on the faces of all those people he duped into fighting and dying for him in the early 1980s. They are very disappointed and would smile seeing him thrown out of our state house.

There's probably never been a revolution that did not use songs to give voice to its aspirations & strengthen the morale of its adherents. We've also witnessed this here. The role played by music in the revolution against dictator M7 will be written about in future history books.
For Bobi Wine, music offers a solution to soften the otherwise brutal and violent police. For instance, as he headed to Bundibugyo on November 24, 2020, several police trucks sandwiched his car, and, for the cops on the trucks, Bobi freestyled a acapella to them as they...
...fought to keep straight faces, but this seemed to soften their hearts so much that he campaigned in the mountainous district without much disturbance.
People who support M7 do not do so logically. No matter how bad he gets, how astray he leads this country, they'd still love and support him. When someone's decision is not based on reason but rather on feelings, nothing can change their mind. Thread.
People who still support M7 love him with all his violence and dishonesty. It's a perfect love story of loving someone despite their flaws. When you love someone, you are usually told to throw out logic and think with the heart. You can't change wuch people's minds.
For them it's not about what's good for this country logically. They'll say M7 is the perfect person for Uganda even though logically his stay in power is leading this country to its grave. Its like how a person in an abusive relationship stays no matter how bad the abuse gets.
Prior to the 2016 elections, I was involved in some political activism mainly on FB. I was convinced we needed change of leadership in this country. However, 2 days to election day, I was in my college apartment, too broke to travel back to Ntungamo to vote. #UGDecides2021
The morning of the election day, I woke up feeling guilty that I was going to be an enabler of another term of among other things, a poor health and education sectors & human rights violations by M7's security organs. I called a friend and borrowed money. Around 11AM, I set off.
I reached my polling station at Buhanama P/S in Itojo 15 minutes before closure of voting. I remember just going straight to casting my vote because almost everyone had finished voting and waiting for the counting of votes. It was the first time to vote and I couldn't be prouder.
People really don't care about animals esp dogs. I keep asking why? These creatures are only asking for help, if you can't help, at least don't hurt them. In Makindye today, dogs were poisoned. 12 of them were lying on the streets with foam in their mouths. A horrifying scene.
In Kla, a woman near the taxi park tied a rope in a dog's neck, fastened it on a boda boda and told the rider to ride off😩 The only crime the dog did was passing by as she cooked food on the streets for her customers. I have a dream that one day, dogs in our city will get peace.
I have a plan to rehabilitate street dogs, bring them back to full health and to their glorious beautiful nature. Then, I'll look for them new homes and owners. I'm sure there are people looking for beautiful nice dogs and puppies.
In Uganda, we need to normalize visiting psychiatrists and other mental therapists. Mental health conditions can be diagnosed and treated just like any other condition. There is a boy whose parents were sure he's just stubborn and just doesn't want to study. #MentalHealthMatters
Unknown to them, the boy had been bullied at school for over a year, was fighting severe depression and was losing the battle. It's a counselor who met the child once that recommended a psychiatrist. Around 4-5 months down the road, the boy was back to full health. #mentalhealth
The parents had been using the wrong therapy for a wrong illness. They were caning the boy, teachers at school suspending him, insulting him and all. Until you get to know the illness, you can't treat the illness. Parents, before you punish children, study the problem fully.
