Dissatisfaction in election results...

I don't know where the people's president and those who love him are, but I know that wherever they're God Almighty is keeping them safe...

Scenario: Help me out guys, if I buy something from you and I pay you, are you allowed to count through the money I can have paid you? Should you count it before or after you've put it in your pocket? What if you keep it without count it and it's not enough when you get home, do you complain? Who then can listen to such a complaint?

Fact: #FDC participated in a genuine election with various candidates expecting to win or loose to any candidate(s) who Ugandans think is worth leading them. The constitution allows them to have polling agents at every polling station and they are entitled to a copy of the declaration form just like any other candidates. When voting is done, all declaration forms countrywide are collected in one place, accounted and compared to what the Electoral Commission can have tallied. Should there be an discrepancies, #FDC is entitled to a complaint, just like anyone else. This now Mr. Kigundu says is illegal. And, to make it worse, all forms of quick delivery of information have been frustrated by Mr.Kigundu and his favorite candidate #Museveni so that no one has the ability to make a substantial complaint in time before announcing the winner tomorrow, and this makes me feel helpless. To further disorganise the already falling exercise of internally tallying votes, our president has been imprisoned with all who could have taken over from him in his absence.

Whoever buys something from anyone and forbids him or her to count through the money paid is a thief... so is anyone aspirant who contests with fellow aspirants and forbids them to count and verify their wins and losses.

Questions:
1) Should I believe the results Mr. Kigundu will give tomorrow as credible?
2) Amid so much impunity, does #Museveni even care about the attitude of Ugandans he leads or intends to lead after bending all laws and abusing power?
3) What if any other president you didn't vote did the same as what's been done this time around, what would you do?
4) Does patriotism still mean anything of importance to you and our leaders today?

Disappointment:
I am deeply disappointed in the electoral commission.
I am deeply disappointed in #Museveni.
I am deeply disappointed in the cause of the 1981-86 war.
I am deeply disappointed in the armed forces of Uganda that I've always trusted with my peace security.
I am deeply disappointed in our legal system that make victims offenders and offenders victims.

For good and my country.

Please share until they all know how we feel.

A National Dialogue is the path to a shared future... Bishop David Zac Niringiye

This afternoon, the Electoral Commission of Uganda declared Gen Y Museveni the winner of the 2016 Presidential Election. It is obvious even to casual observes that the elections were rigged.

The EU Observer Mission' Preliminary Report is clear.

http://eueom.eu/files/pressreleases/english/PreliminaryStatement_20160220.pdf

The Elections were rigged by state institutions and leaders in favour of Gen Y Museveni. The process was not credible. The result is not legitimate. A stolen election can not secure sustainable peace and a future of all Ugandans. It can not provide the basis of a stable and prosperous country.

That is why the immediate priority is a National Dialogue, to find a common path to a future that includes all! The Dialogue must address the critical issues that have divided the country, as the way to avert violence. Justice and equity are the way of peace! The Elders Forum and IRCU could build on the presidential debates and make the dialogue possible.

Letter To Mr. Obama… 19/01/09

Dear Mr. Obama,


I hope you’re doing well. Back here, everyone is very excited about this day, and your achievement as the first black president of the world’s biggest power of modern times and history. Before going for office work; before you can get to busy for any advice for the next four years of hard work in the responsibility of governance, these words may be good to note.


I highly hope that by now you know that people in the world are happy about your achievement and are expecting a lot from you; from your not-yet-tested-policies, which puts you on tension. But don’t worry, those things happen to all leaders who can describe themselves as having feelings like yours; so don’t worry!


It’s also good to always remember that life is full of both achievements and failures, which makes it real and balanced, so don’t put your hopes too high because so will be your disappointments. Be ready to be criticized, and accept it with a free mind because it’ll always happen. You can not please every one, but know your priorities; the safety, growth and strength of the American government, your family and the rest of the world around you.


Don’t also forget that keeping friends close, carefully, helps strong men grow stronger in wisdom, courage and hope. Listen carefully and only speak when it is necessary. For a man of great responsibility like you, it is good to also be a good writer; this will ease your life from stress and depression – it will give you nights full of good sleep and a refreshed health, and good judgments. Seek advice from anyone around you on any public matters; out of what is despised can sometimes come great things: wise words, good judgment and great people – I guess by now you don’t doubt that.


Also remember that you’re a hero, a great man, only if you recognize yourself as an Afro-American, but with an American and global mindset: so be that hero. Open opportunities for the minorities, fight for justice and peace. Anger, fear and excitement make men go wrong; be careful with extreme feelings – take critical judgments only when you’re calm: speak less at all times, it’s good.


Music is a good inspiration and a stress cure, so listen to the kind that keeps your spirit awake with hope. Don’t take heavy burdens on your self; trust in the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth with your life, work and responsibilities. You would rather tell God what you can’t do and he denies you assistance, which I don’t think, than die in silence.

Devote you extra life to God since you have many lives to take care of and He’s the author of life, and He will faithfully guide you. Read the achievements and failures of kings both in the Bible and outside the Bible, as well as the greatest political leaders, and you’ll avoid many mistakes in your life of big responsibilites.


Looking at the black and bright sky will give you a lot of wisdom and peace, as well as looking at other natural things and wild animals, and trying to understand them and you honor God’s art and science; this will help you know and understand that the world is led by God and not men, and so you won’t strain too hard to the extent of loosing your own poor life.


Tell your juniors that it is working together that makes strong teams strong, and listen to their opinions; some levels and positions which are sometimes or many times despised tend to see things more clearly.


A wife is a great strength for any married men, strong or weak; so listen to her, remembering that she’s you-watching-yourself in another body. Don’t despise her, but use the right measures to judge her judgments. Tell her anything and trust her enough, but carefully, remembering that she is a woman and something are heavy for her to work out or accommodate at the same time like men do.


Hard work is not what yields the greatest results, no, it’s good work and good luck. Be wise, think less, rightly and timely, and you’ll be glad on that day when you get out of that office as an achiever. I’ll also be by your side when things go right or wrong, so don’t think you are a lone; we’ll be praying for you all over the world.


Let wisdom, knowledge and understanding be upon you.
Let good and just judgment lead your path.
Let the spirit of the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth rest upon you that you’ll work within his plan, which is the only sure plan that succeeds. Let peace, happiness, prosperity, good health and long life be yours in the name of the holy and true Lord, and Leader of leaders.


Yours in service,


ISIKO Peace John

Psycho-analysing Mr. Obama...


I thank God for the decision the Americans have made; choosing Senator Barak Obama to become the new President of the United States of America. I also thank all those who did not disguise during the campaigning era, only to show their side after elections.

Friends, like Mr. Obama and Oprah in USA, Mr. Odinga in Kenya, Mr. Morgan Tsvangarai in Zimbabwe and of course Mr. Kiiza Besigye and Mr. Elias Lukwago [don't get me wrong because am honest here] in Uganda, I love people who stand for their opinion and defend it; taking the risk of loosing, and loosing everything just to show what they believe in.
These people have really demonstrated their braveness in many occassions.

Then comes Professor Binna Kandola OBE, of Pearn Kandola, who shows his opinion of how he sees a good president in Senator Obama, but after elections. Look at this quote from the article "Experts have created a psychological profile of America's President-elect to predict what sort of leader he will be" published by Sky News.

"When examining psychological profiles of the two candidates - the best candidate won. Mr Obama has the qualities and profile to be a good President and if he can play to his strengths and minimise his weaknesses, he could be a great one."

Honestly, I have nothing against the article, except, the professor should have published this statement earlier, before the election. Mr. Kandola, imagine how many votes Senator Obama has lost because of your failure to publish what you "knew best" about him in time! Using this statement, Senator Obama would have drawn extra hindreds of votes! What do you think professor? Better do it early enough next time... but I loved the article... except, you forgot to tell us that Senator Obama is not the kind of person that can fight emotions like anger... O, am not a psychologist, ... human instict... judgement...
