China Influence in Africa.



“There are two ways to conquer and enslave a country. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.”  John Adams.


China is taking over Africa and the most dangerous support they are offering are debts. 


African Union Headquarters in Addis Ababa Ethiopia was fully funded by China, ECOWAS headquarters was funded by China. China has built 7 Parliaments in Africa. China has built Railways, Roads, Stadia and houses in many African countries.


Few years ago, China helped Sri Lanka to build Hambantota Port, this was done with Chinese loans. Sri Lanka struggled to payback the loan and in the year 2017 Chinese said “You can’t pay the debt, just lease us this port for 99years “ Sri Lank were not happy about it but they had no option because for them to waive the huge debt they had  to lease the port. Now port  Hambantota belongs to China. 


Recently, in Uganda China has threaten to take Uganda only International Airport if  they fail to pay $ 200 million loan. This is a clear example on how China is recolonizing some countries indirectly. 


When you owe someone money that person has power over you especially when it reaches appoint you cannot pay them back.


50 years ago China was  a very poor country with a huge population. China has become one of the main investors in Africa by opening up their cheap workforce. Their economy has exploded and now they are funding many Projects in Africa. They are becoming world superpower. Their policies are accommodative to many countries especially countries in Africa.


I am not saying we should fight China neither I am I saying we should not collaborate with them. Let's be very careful on how we trade. What we should do is to learn from them and renegotiate the terms of engagement for the benefit of Africans.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent.  It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu".  We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service.  If you have not been denied registering your child i...

Here is Why Our Utterances For Praying Jesus And God To Come Liberate Ugandans, May Be Misplaced. This Phrase is like inform of a Letter To Some Categorized Section Of Ugandans.

Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda.  I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know.  It got me totally messed up.  This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood.  He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations.  His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion.  So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe?  Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...

Okello lost his wife 20 years ago and decided to only focus on their Mateo, Yona and Yosefu. 20 years later, Okello had 7 acres of land, a successful poultry business, and sinotrucks for hire. Early this year, Okello got a call telling him that one of his trucks knocked a boda boda. Okello decided to rush to see if he could sort it out before police became involved. Unfortunately, he never made it, as he was entering the main road, another trailer rammed into him and killed him instantly.   After Okello had been laid to rest, his sons sat down and divided the property amongst themselves. However, of late, Yosefu the last born has started complaining that he was cheated, and he wants to be given something else because most of the chicken in the chicken business died of a fever.   Can ...
