It is impossible for #BobiWine be president. I like him, and I think it may be time for change in Uganda. But other than musical entertainment, I think he never stood a chance and I wouldn't wish him on my 46 million neighbors and most youthful people in the world.

Just imagine for a second what a #BobiWine victory would look like: in Uganda. Who would declare it, who would organise his swearing-in, who would guard him, who would write his speech, and most importantly, what would he do with it? What does he know about leadership?

On Ideas and Representation:

Other than his spouse, I haven't seen any well read, dignified, high profile person speaking on his behalf -not that it is common in Ugandan politics, and other than emotional soundbites I haven't seen them make any sound, coherent political thought.

On Organisation:

Who is #BobiWine's team? Former music producers? Kampala DJs? City dealers? Brokers? Cab drivers? Street boys?

Who will form his government? Who will fund his government? Who will be his advisors?

Silent geniuses, waiting on the sidelines for his victory?

On positioning:

What does #BobiWine stand for? Typically every opposition candidate wants to lower taxes and deliver full employment, free electricity, water, education, healthcare, housing; Basically they want to deliver paradise on earth and all for free. This is a red flag..

That's the definition of a candidate who doesn't know what they are talking about. A good candidate is one who has a sober, measured, hinterland understanding of one's country. One who is involved and has advanced real ideas and taken real action in solving real problems...

A good candidate is one with a strong network of friends, colleagues, cohort, who can support one's ideas and give them fresh ones: On Education and Background:

On Education and Background:

It is ignorant to compare young Museveni wt #BobiWine. Museveni frequented the laboratory of Marxist revolution that was the University of Dar at the time, studied Political Sce and frequented Nyerere, Mugabe, Samora Machel and had military training

What of #BobiWine?

He studied Music and Drama at Makerere, a dying University that is a shadow of what is used to be, where one can buy marks and plagiarize essays. He frequented marijuana dealers and club owners of Kampala...

On Legitimacy and Recognition:

Humble beginnings aren't the problem, but #BobiWine is no George Weah. Weah is an internal star with an MBA from a decent university, presiding over 5million people at the Indian Ocean, not 46million landlocked chaps bordering South Sudan and DRC.

#BobiWine is exactly "Sweet Micky". Michel Martelly was recent former president of Haiti

But the point above applies.

Enjoy Sweet Micky's Zouk here:

Of the will power of #BobiWine supporters:

Baganda are like Congolese, unlike Banyarwanda and Sudanese they are inherently peaceful.

And Unlike Arabs, they have no culture of martyrdom. Since Kizito, Lwanga and them, I do not expect a Muganda to self-immolate to prove a point.

There are two groups of fighters in Uganda, who have been fighting one another to lead Uganda.

Precisely those bordering S.Sudan in the North and bordering Rwanda in the West. Museveni is from the West and has made sure the North remains backward and weak to ever challenge him.

For #BobiWine to ever pose a threat to Museveni, his supporters must be ready to die for him and therefore be incorruptible: attributes that his supporters lack.

So no, Whenever Museveni leaves power, it is not going to be at thanks to #BobiWine.

Now, How can M7 leave power?

1. Excluding an act of God, Museveni can leave power in two ways:
- Willingly
- By Making Mugabe's mistake

2.The third option of his family or party leaders asking him to leave is also to be excluded because there are no such people in the NRM(I'll come back to this point later)

So How can Museveni leave power? Continue reading on @gateteviews gateteviews.rw/my-take-on-uga…
