I am Ugandan living in the UK and planning to return. Finding land can can be an ardous and stressful process. I know. Please don't give up. It will be worthwhile. I hope you have honest and good people to guide you.
when I went to buy land I left my husband behind( some how alot of people think white people are walking banks that give free money).He appeared on the day we signed the land transfer agreement to get a land title and we hired our own surveyor to survey the land and process our land title and put a caveat as well. Unfortunately it seems you are both not Ugandans so it is easy for hungry and selfish people to take advantage of you, it's better to keep your money and take time to find a place that has no wrangles.There are always nice places to buy that are genuine.All the best.
Well done! A year in Uganda, and we now function like that in all transactions. Pablo stays home or takes a back seat on most things until the agreement is written up, then he just comes when/if his signature is needed. It's amazing how much we have saved!
Also, we find that Ugandans in general are very kind and thoughtful people, but even the most honest reserve a special part of their brain, protected against all morals, which kicks in when they see a person they think are "muzungu". Suddenly the most honest churchgoing grandmother feels it is her God-given duty to swindle such people out of their money. It's easy to do if you think of a group of people as separate or different from you in some way...like a different type of human or a non-human that is fully unrelatable. But when we explain who we are (an immigrant family trying to make ends meet), their eyes tend to come back into focus and they can see us as human brothers and sisters again 😊
Im not sure exactly what the problem is here? I would not buy there anymore,even if I could, it seems like it would be a headache long term. I dont know if there is a way for you to talk to that guy ( the owner?) why is so upset? I think you will be better off finding somewhere where you are now. Be patient..I know it will come. ❤
Thank you 🙏🏽 Yes, we were scammed by a broker... The guy that conned us is like a professional con-man. I don't think we're his first prey. People like that look for jolly-just-come or (JJC), who are new to the country and take advantage of them.
Oh looks like something wrong but the old man sounded bitter to those guys, was kind to Pablo saying that they had no problem with him and Anu with all your kinds but they just want those is it the owner !! to present the Tittle to them, he continued to say, you "muzungu" no problem with you. so what is the right story?
A lawyer recently advised us to always find the town drunk, buy him a drink or give him a few thousand shillings and hear all he has to say. She said that they are the most honest resources you'll find 😁 And you're right, the squatters had no problem with us (besides wanting to milk us for our "money"), but if you've seen our previous land update, you'll know the situation the man is referring to.
Am your fan but I don't know whether you have red through the Uganda "land act" Non-ugandans can't buy land permanently you just request for a "LEASE" 49 Or 99 yrs. So be careful with land blockers.
Thank you, yes, we've read through it and understand how it functions (if you've seen our movie, you'll see Pablo's character also is "aware of this fact" 😊). Luckily, there's a caveat that once citizenship is attained, the land lease can automatically convert to a land title in the names of the lessees. We just add that in the agreement to make it sure it is clearly understood by both parties.
Owning Land in uganda is something that is very tiresome, stressful and full of fake people even those who may look to be trustworthy... Land incidences are very common and you have to watch out each and every step... But Sorry for what happened Another thing i heard mr. Pablo rejecting that he is not omuzungu😂 but i have seen many white people mistakening this phrase to be racist which is not true... It is a phrase that dates back from our ancestors when missionaries came to east Africa and the easiest way term them was OMUZUNGU meaning a wounderer and this word was passed on to different generations upto now and it is commonly used in east Africa (Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, burundi and rwanda) to describe someone with a white colour... And many people here think that colour is for the rich, brilliant and beautiful people so don't feel bad when someone calls you omuzungu
Thank you for you analysis of the land purchase situation, sir, it is very true. As for the term omuzungu, also very true about it's origins, uses, etc. and very well explained, probably the best explanation we have seen yet! However, we believe that anything that makes separate categories of people (whether using colors or other terms) is hurtful to the human family and only divides us. The use of omuzungu, as you so well defined it, is what in the West would be called "white privilege", something which, if accepted, causes inequality, ultimately harming those of a darker skin color. So, that is one reason why Pablo rejects it, as a statement that he is no better or worse than any other human, and that he just wants to be accepted into the community as a fellow human being, not be seen as just a wandering bag of money 😂, which is both dehumanizing and expensive when you get cheated all the time, and not sustainable when you have five children to feed...
Ok I can understand when you actually term him as a wondering bag of money 😊😊but you can never change the perspective people have here esp in central region.. actually when someone doesn't kno your name, and ure white in colour, the immediate name you get is omuzungu (if ure one in number), abazungu ( when many)... And here in Uganda, when someone gets alot of money (a Ugandan), or looks so beautiful and brown, when describing him or her to someone else who knows him you may say that, so and so turned to be omuzungu.. meaning he is actually well off or very beautiful and nice looking if a lady.. even when you have a nice home, people may say that he built "amaka amazungu" while refering to the nice house.. so that is deep how it is @@familiapablanu
Pablu and Anu, that Old man could be right. He may be drunk but in half senses. You need an independent person from the area to get to know what's happening..use him or her as a spy...you may be moving with wrong people thinking they are your help when actually not... Getting back the money may also be challenging. It would be better, you get this land and put it on sale or stay with it because the old man insists how he has no problem with you.

In Uganda, land offers very many opportunities especially if you have the know-how or use specialised knowledge. There's too many factors to consider when you want to buy any land outside Kampala and i can see the mess you are already in. One of the most important factors to consider is the prospect for future appreciation and this is determined by the facilities and the projected future growth and population. One such area that fits all these is Kabaale in Hoima and there are few places like this. Theres oil and gas that will attract over a million people in the near future and yet land is still cheap and is still suitable for farming. The roads are in perfect state and electricity is almost everyone. They are building a water reticulation plant that will serve the area very soon. The land conversion type from customary to free hold is fast and there are few hiccups. You dont choose a place deep inside a village sandwitched by dirt road and you think you will be an island in there. I pray and hope all your land issues are sorted. Greetings to all your beautiful kids and i only wish them sausage ,bacon and pork to appreciate the other side of life,food.
Thanks so much for the good insider info on land 👍 As for the meat suggestions, that's like asking you to eat a gorilla... As for us, we'll continue to avoid ingesting the rotting flesh of our dead cousins and stick to freshly grown food from the ground, thank you 😁
@@familiapablanu No one will live forever. Even doctors, nutritionists eat sausage, beef and pork. Depriving these adorable kids of this is painful to watch, it could be their little taste of heaven.Meditterean diets are full of fruits and vegetables but once in a while they indulge in meat. For land, especially agricultural land in villages, how did you decide the value and price to pay? Purely agricultural land should be extremely cheap because it's plenty. Like i mentioned earlier, it's very profitable to currently buy agricultural land that in the near future could be valuable as commercial land. Buying deep in any random village doesn't provide this opportunity for future massive appreciation. I have a feeling you even over paid on that land. Going by what i see, these guys might have broken terms of the land agreement and its better to get a refund if possible.I have watched your video and seen the road to this place, ohh God...who lead you guys here? These kids futures lie on both your hands and land is going to be one of the most important decisions you guys make right now. Your channel has so many subscribers and could make tons of money in Uganda if you could find topics that people reasonate with. Having all these subscriber numbers means people are drawn to you guys but content is lacking because of the few views. Experiment with various styles, it will finally work out. Even the kids can get their own channels to educate other foreign kids about life in Africa, Uganda. I love your family so much and rooting for you guys. Stay blessed.
If you get to know Pablo, you'll know it's not forced. Rather, it would take a conscious effort to keep his accent from drifting towards the ones he's speaking with. I've seen him try to keep his accent American (to avoid offending people, for example) and it just ends up a mess and offends people much worse 🤣 But, in all seriousness, the locals around here always comment how clearly and "unaccented" he speaks English (meaning, as one lawyer put it, he "minimizes" the incomprehensible, nasal, mumbled American accent so that Ugandans can understand him better). However, Pablo doesn't even realize he's doing it, it just happens. Luckily, here, it comes across as sort of a sign of respect to the listeners.
Thanks for remaining positive despite the land drama
Can't let life get you down! Plus, there's always fresh lemonade to be made 😁
It is well. Don't worry, just keep pushing. You will eventually find what you want/ like. Just give it time but keep searching. Good luck !
Thanks for the encouragement ☺️
Oh dear...sorry about that 🙏
Thank you 🙏🏽
True let them give back your money you look for land else where
Please don't buy land that comes with such stress esp if you're thinking of building a home there to raise your kids. You will never have peace.
I was about to say the same thing.
Indeed!
But everything will be fine sorted. U jst need to be positive and make sure u don't get land with too much stones in it if u want to do farming.
Thanks for the encouragement, and good point!

Rooting for you guys 💯 percent.

I think when you first inspect a property dont go with Pablo. Get a quote first Anu. You know the "white tax" is very high. Lol
Quite true, we are experts on this now, finally 😊
Don't go with your husband and you know why if you go alone with a male relative. The price will be cheaper.
Indeed! Better yet, send a local you trust. Preferably not someone well-to-do.
You have to go far away to get what's worth for your money.
Yes, we have learned our lesson the hard way 😅
It's disturbing really .. shameless people
Don’t buy land in Uganda like that just go talk to Real Estate Agents like Bakaluba property
Thank you, we have definitely learned our lesson

I dont get the forced accent of the husband who is from the States.
Maybe he is learning how to adapt to his environment and surroundings which is smart; better to blend in then out.
If you get to know Pablo, you'll know it's not forced. Rather, it would take a conscious effort to keep his accent from drifting towards the ones he's speaking with. I've seen him try to keep his accent American (to avoid offending people, for example) and it just ends up a mess and offends people much worse 🤣
But, in all seriousness, the locals around here always comment how clearly and "unaccented" he speaks English (meaning, as one lawyer put it, he "minimizes" the incomprehensible, nasal, mumbled American accent so that Ugandans can understand him better).
