  • In November 2019, Uganda's lost James Kunobwa, one of her best newsreaders since TV began.
    He began service during President Idi Amin's time and we are lucky to have spoken to him before the Lord recalled him. You would not have known how deadly it was to displease Amin and his fellow leaders and you would also not have known about Amin's usually hidden humane side.
    But let the late James Kunobwa tell us himself, as you subscribe to OwanaPaedia, the one-stop-centre for Uganda's history.

    Eh, Owana, I admit your God given talent in relaying our history. I subscribe. I am older than 50 years now, I am not sure the current young people bother any bit to know what took place. I encourage to document nonetheless. You should actually join the Vatican because the Catholic church especially keeps its records straight!

    Why do Ugandans despise Swahili that much? Asking from Kenya.

    • @akandondaelly6205
      @akandondaelly6205 8 месяцев назад

      It goes back to history .
      Many Ugandans in schools were taught in English . You know the Arabs settled more in Kenya than Uganda .
      Then Kishahili was used mostly by soldiers and police men ( even now they used it but not so much ) in the past regimes and people used to distance themselves from the then brutal soldiers .

      Museveni is just an intolerant dictator like Amin was. The only difference is Amin was Pro-Ugandans and Museveni is pro-his tribe(refugees from Rwanda).
