  • 🇺🇬 Part One: Whilst visiting Kampala, the capital city of Uganda I took a visit to the central market and met a collective of guys who look after an area called the Bermuda Triangle. They took me on a tour and explained exactly what happens when thieves are caught. Mob justice Uganda style. Join me in the ghetto.

      That's because he had many years of training in England and then he was sent out to get a feel of every place they send him. I usually see him in a country right before that county has an uprising or war. He's not bankrupt and certainly educated . One reason he isn't scarred is because he can and will be rescued under any attempt to kidnap or harm him. I've seen this before with a "normal guy with a family" in Africa years ago. That guy was kidnapped and the U.S sent a seal team and reaper drones. He was rescued and the African terrorists all died from bombs. Just a little info

So I would like to share my perspective of Uganda which you can see in my latest video I just posted. It is completely different to his perspective. Even in the ghettos in countries I have visited, the way you engage with people changes the dynamic. Having been in the same situations, I generally realise people are all the same and fun around the world. So I hope I can share a different perspective. the episode is called "Uganda is Fun"

      Also, British 'explorers' like Livingstone and Speke didn't 'discover' anything, the source of the Nile was always known! From Ptolemy's map, to Al-Idrisi's map, to Venetian maps etc. it's baffling that people are still being misinformed by Eurocentrism...
