Comments for Opinion: Why is Mao getting more media coverage than Kabaka? at http://www.independent.co.ug , comment 1 to 11 out of 11 comments http://www.independent.co.ug Wed, 08 Feb 2012 16:31:36 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.3 http://www.independent.co.ug/component/content/106-myblog/2573-why-is-mao-getting-more-media-coverage-than-kabaka#comment-24904 ... The Kabaka sucks! - Max Thu, 11 Mar 2010 00:48:01 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/component/content/106-myblog/2573-why-is-mao-getting-more-media-coverage-than-kabaka#comment-24853 Just sampling most comments here makes me wonder and reflect on a quote which implies that sometimes a people deserve that sort of leaders that they have. Look at it this way: we spend lots of time media-bashing M7 (and true he is no saint), but then again the prejudices and blemishes we have against each other would make M7 look like a saint afterall. So tribal loyalists (like some commentators here) are also culpable in this timeless failure to finally bring democracy to our country. If Mao is still judged by virtue of his birth fate and inexplicably linked to Obote, then I guess we are NOT yet ready for democracy. Be prepared for another 5 years of M7 and know you've had a role in entrenching his project to transform the country from a Republic into a fiefdom. Stop complaining! - Tobias Wed, 10 Mar 2010 02:52:36 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/component/content/106-myblog/2573-why-is-mao-getting-more-media-coverage-than-kabaka#comment-24841 Julius, that was a very silly statement from an educated man like you. Just because you support Mao does not mean that whoever does not is your enemy or the newspaper that publishes antimao voices. Now you hate kibirige and independent b'se they publish something u dont want.Ha ha. That is the exact UPC mentality that scares most Baganda elders away from Mao.UPC and Obote used to kill us like insects just because they disagreed with us.Now you want to come back in form of Mao or Otunnu.Musanze tulaba and kibirige has just opened our eyes more. This article is not only here.It is in all Uganda forums. - rehema Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:26:08 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/component/content/106-myblog/2573-why-is-mao-getting-more-media-coverage-than-kabaka#comment-24840 Readers, Am a regular buyer of The Independent Magazine, which is very expensive here in Juba, but i have stopped reading Mr. Kibirige's opinions. I don't care what he does offer to Ugandans in terms of services. We need to be honest. I challenged Mr. Kibirige to offer alternatives rather than focusing more on pedestrian arguments. I don't care what the NRM does for who in Uganda. For so long the NRM under M7 continues operating in its den of thieves, Mao will always be a better leader for Ugandans. Just look at his track record of leadership once again. FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY. - Julius Uma Tue, 09 Mar 2010 19:17:03 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/component/content/106-myblog/2573-why-is-mao-getting-more-media-coverage-than-kabaka#comment-24839 While i diagree with some stuff Abby has written in this article, intimidating and getting personal with him does not help. I have known this gentleman or rather interracted with him for 4 years and he never writes anything without thinking about it.His comments are respected by a lot of Ugandans.So dont treat him like you know him more than us. Yes, i would love Mao or besigye to save us from M7.By the way,David,Abby is a UK graduate not a SENIOR 2,And we respect him as a person - hannah ogwapiti Tue, 09 Mar 2010 18:50:23 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/component/content/106-myblog/2573-why-is-mao-getting-more-media-coverage-than-kabaka#comment-24837 I agree with David that we should not kill Kibirige (in a literal sense). He is just learning to write a News paper article. You do not slap your child when he/she falls while learning to walk; you encourage him/her with smiles and applause. Sometimes when a child falls and you notice the child may cry, you turn and look away just to pretend that you have not noticed him/her fall. My guess is that, when Kibirige reaches senior two he will start appreciating the art of writing good articles. In fact, we should comment Andrew Mwenda for taking pupils and training them to write articles - Mukasa Eddie Tue, 09 Mar 2010 15:33:00 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/component/content/106-myblog/2573-why-is-mao-getting-more-media-coverage-than-kabaka#comment-24829 Please! people, don't kill Kibirige, i know he has touched a wrong button. He is one of the Ugandans who need lectures in this Country's politics. - David Tue, 09 Mar 2010 12:10:36 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/component/content/106-myblog/2573-why-is-mao-getting-more-media-coverage-than-kabaka#comment-24824 Look here Kibirige, time for destroying opposition parties is over regardless of which opposition party if it should help bring up a semblance of balance in the house of parliament. Kibirige don’t you see how Ugandans are easily arms twisted into passing very bad laws like amending the constitution to abolish term limit in parliament because of the overly dominant majority movement membership? Enough damage has been done by bickering such that of yours Mr. Kibirige. Help to build effective opposition purely because it is the alternative government Ugandans must learn to have. - Gowon Tue, 09 Mar 2010 10:47:15 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/component/content/106-myblog/2573-why-is-mao-getting-more-media-coverage-than-kabaka#comment-24822 Abbey Kibirige, where were you all these years and where are you heading? Are you still asleep, better wake up; or are you utterly confused? Enough is enough of your type of polarising and self destructive politics. Who has not heard about Mao from days as Head Prefect in Namilyango, through Guild Presidency in Makerere University, and as very brilliant parliamentarian, to being very effective Gulu District Chairman? Why unfairly bring the name of the Kabaka of Buganda into partisan politics and wrongly place him as if he is competing against Mao in your fruitless efforts to try to win the sympathy of the undecided DP faction and help destroy DP? - Gowon Tue, 09 Mar 2010 10:24:46 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/component/content/106-myblog/2573-why-is-mao-getting-more-media-coverage-than-kabaka#comment-24819 I am not sure if Besigye had the same media attention , you would complain. From your article, it is clear that you are an FDC supporter. Instead of taking on Mao, spend more time writing about what FDC stands for. I also notice that Mao's victory only made you uncormfortable. Good luck as you sulk and hope you saw the light sooner than later. Change is coming to Uganda. - Ronald Mon, 08 Mar 2010 23:19:53 +0100 http://www.independent.co.ug/component/content/106-myblog/2573-why-is-mao-getting-more-media-coverage-than-kabaka#comment-24816 Haven't you pointed your diatribe at the wrong person? Your article smacks of the musings of a sore loser. And certainly bringing up the issue of the Buganda - M7 muddle this way does not help the cause. Your politically immature thinking is an insult better judgement and a reminder to the rest of us that there are still others who are still living in the dark corridors of Uganda's past! Aluta continua. - Tobias Mon, 08 Mar 2010 18:44:19 +0100
