USA and Buganda
Kyawedde dda! Ssabasajja is cool with us radical Baganda. Many of us are constantly accused of being “too radical” by fellow Baganda because we are not willing to compromise with NRM or anyone else who suggests that Uganda is more important than Buganda. Many Ugandans, including prominent Baganda both in Mmengo and outside have vilified us by calling us “tribalists”, “sectarian”, “unpatriotic”, “backward” or ”too radical”. Even Kabaka’s representatives in Europe and America, serving their own personal interests, have made false reports to Mmengo and Kabaka about us. We have even been accused of being “anti Kabaka” and “anti Mengo” simply because we are not afraid of pointing out Buganda government officials who are in bed with the enemy.
Who are we? We are the millions of Baganda youths in Nkoba za Mbogo, Bana ba Kintu and other organizations, who pioneered the resistance against the marginalization of our Kabaka and our nation Buganda. We are the Bazukulu ba Buganda, who a few corrupt Buganda government officials, cheating Kabaka, have harassed for years. We the radicals also include members of Ggwangamujje in Europe and America who have not been equivocal about putting Buganda and Kabaka first. We have organized Ttabamiruka conferences in America and Buganda, angering the NRM government, Uganda politicians and even some Buganda government officials. Oh, and we are also deep in Mmengo, fighting the NRM moles who betray our Kabaka and Buganda for a few pieces of silver. A few of us are even Baganda clan leaders, who would rather die poor than betray our Kabaka and our Bazukulu. Some of us radical have been kidnapped and molested, or otherwise harassed, but gone back to the our usual behavior of channels to telling the NRM dictators that we won’t quit! It is us radicals who have also made the ultimate sacrifice for Buganda, getting shot dead by the NRM government’s police and soldiers.
The reason we are radical is simple. We whole heartedly embrace the saying, “Baganda nkoba za mbogo; zegya zoka mu bunya”. And the plot to destroy Buganda, since 1990, is so thick that if we continue acting “nice and civilized” there might be no Buganda soon. You will not hear us praising any Ugandan politician, Muganda or not, as the one will save Buganda; because we know they cannot. Nor do we get excited about promised from the NRM government because we do not accept the idea that anyone has a right to play “master” over Kabaka and Buganda. All that talk about Federo is alright so long it is not “given” or “granted” to us. Only Baganda can and should determine how they are ruled, whether Federo or full independence. We do not owe Uganda anything and cannot be forced to accept other people’s arrangements under duress, as it happened in 1960 and 1995.
We proudly claim that Ssabasajja is now one of us radical Baganda because his historical actions in September 2009 leave no doubt that he has lost patience with the “Abasajja tubakwaate mpola” philosophy. We are confident that he is tired of uncivilized, unkempt, Banamawanga telling him to shut up while they rape and pillage his kingdom. Look around him now and you see us, the radicals. We didn’t all start this way. So, it is OK if you are not yet a radical Muganda but we look forward to having you join us. It is such a liberating feeling!

Given the prevailing lack of prudent leadership in Uganda, I guess the situation is just gonna get worse. Here you are with a brute dictator who does not give a good god damn thing about life and the tenets of the constitution he purports to rule by. A million Baganda/Ugandans can be shot dead and it is none of his concern provided he remains “president”. He refers to His Majesty the Kabaka in his BBC interview as “…that king and his group…” and he expects to hold any meaningful dialogue with His Majesty the Kabaka. His lousy bootlickers ala Muhanga Margret can go on air and insult the Kabaka by comparing her kid to the Kabaka with respecting to returning calls and she expects that the Baganda listening to this hogwash of hers will just grin and bear it. The Karoro – Okuruts, the Robert Ssebunyas, the Tamale Mirundis and a whole bunch of those miserable lousy bootlickers of M7 are applying abusive and inappropriate proverbs to His Majesty the Kabaka like “…akabwa keyorela…”/”…gwowonya eggere…”???? So by implication, His Majesty is the little dog and the one whose leg was saved???? This kind of language cannot be the environment of dialogue between a conscientious monarch like Kabaka Mutebi and it can only bring more trouble for the country than it is meant to cow down an unarmed populace.
Awaangaale nnyo ayi Ssabasajja Kabaka!

Hey!! Ssebo wange nga ozze nnyo! Hai!! Kino buli kanaku kyeninze Muko. Tukooye okutulinnyirira nga buli kanaku. Toyinza kwogela na jjinja, oba kulikamulamu musaayi. Gwe atuyana. Tusaba nti Buganda post egezaako nyo kati to update it newspage, so that we are galvanised around the Buganda cause and not have to read anything else. Mbu independent.co.ug! Abamu kuffe ebintu tubadde tubinyoma, naddala ebikwata ku Buganda, nga tumala sente zaffe mu bintu ebitagenda ku tutwala wala. Naye kati tugguggumuddwa! Ba Ssebo nze mbawagira nnyo nnyo nnyo!
Abasajja baatuzinga dda, be bali mu Kikuubo, Owino, baakomyawo Abayindi okututwaloka bu bizineesi bwafe, kale ngyogele ki ndeke ki. Ba na’Kenya bebali kati mu corporate world yaffe e’Kampala, mbu ffe A’baganda tetwasoma. Buganda si ye yasoka okubeela na Masomera mu East Africa awo!? Ekyo kibuuzo. Bwe tukola bank zaffe, batuttabussi, Kigundu(RIP).
Nkoba za Mbogo nnyo daddy. Yiii kino ate nga kizaamu amanyi, nze nnali ngamba nti oba ddala Buganda enneddawo nga e’da!? Kumpi tulina abajjaasi nga mwe. Museveni alowooza okuba ne bano ba general abali battle hardened, kubanga mbu balwana mu Somalia ne Iraq, aggya kusobola okutulinyako nga bwayagala. Naye mwe muli bajjaasi ddala, anti musazewo okuba abaavu nga naye Kabaka wamwe Yasoka mu maaso.
I have heard that they are rounding up all Baganda youth and intend to incacerate them in prisons now! Theirs is a losing battle. Buganda has to strategise on how to get itself out of the mess it is in. One cannot have one strategy and one strategy alone, which is to talk endlessly. Am sure we now infact have individuals who have mastered the art of talking, after talking for 20 years surely! We should have other strategies too.
Nze i am all for what you stand for. But i sure hope this is not another front from Museveni! He is such a cunning coward that fellow. I would not be surprised if he is groveling to our Kabaka behind closed doors to get back in His good books. The Kabaka should continue to ignore his calls.
Wangala Ayi Ssabasajja.

Omulimu oguliwo kati kwekumanyisa Abaganda bonna embeera eno, kubanga tulina kusitukira wamu, abasajja, abakazi n’abaana okwekulako ekibambulira kya ba serwajja okwoota bano. Twetamiddwa neezo zonna emmombozze eziboloogera okwaffe. Bwebabera nebyaabwe tetweyingizaamu, naye buli ekigwa e Buganda buli mbwa nejja eragira obwa Kabaka buwerebwe. Eno gyendi ebyo byona byatutatama dda. Kubanga ebyo byenyini byebitutusizza mu lumanyiro lwa banoonyi bobubudamu okusajjalaata mbu bagaana Kabaka okuddayo okwogeraku federo. Ffe eno bi federo bya byatutama dda. Kati tuli ku kimu kwekoleera byaffe. Atali naffe nebwaaba yazalibwa Baganda, mulabe waffe. Tewali atalaba musaayi gwa Baganda guyiika. Ekyo bikyaaliko kwekkiriranya. Kyamazima ddala Abaganda nkoba za mbogo, zejja zokka mu bunnya!! Tusimbuke Abaganda, tujja kutuuka.
Awangaale Ssabasajja Kabaka Muwenda Mutebi II Cuucu Magulunyondo Sseggwanga Musota Empologoma ya Buganda.
