Tripple Play...Uganda's Wacky Showbiz Industry

TRIPPLE PLAY
Gyobera putting an end to Fille’s career.
 
Since time immemorial (read since these two hit the music scene), from the time when Irene Ntale figured she would never get filthy rich and rise to the standards of Juliana, Iryn Namubiru or Whitney Houston (isn’t it every new young female artiste’s dream) by singing for some church choir so she took off some clothes into a more skimpy but not so revealing kind of attire and hit the music world to make money. So she wore less, deleted Jesus in her lyrics and got cozy with likes of Bebe Cool. Fille also decided enough with selling milk in Western Uganda, she dropped into Kampala, got into a relationship with some veteran television presenter who ironically still wins awards for upcoming presenting (MC Kats) and also got on the scene. So for some time the two were always compared. They were like the Iryn and Juliana of the upcoming king. They kept minting hits and semi hits like Cherry Boo boo or something like that with Love letter, Je T’aime with Nkubukinze. Then the inevitable happened, by sheer lack around the time Sheba’s Twesana was the hit and Irene decided to release the stalker’s anthem….Gyobera. The song was a favorite with campusers probably because for the first time since Nkuweki a woman was swearing undying love for a man despite his financial status. When Gyobera came, the comparisons stopped. Ntale was in a whole new level. She was soon a real celebrity, hiding from paparazzi and all. Fille’s career had ended. I mean Ntale was giving out interviews at BBC. She was now a big shot. Well in other words Fille was no more. Ntale was in League A and was getting invites to perform solo at gigs for example Auto Show, Oriflame unveiling Juliana as their ambassador.
Aaron Ramsey Goal Killing Curse
Embedded image permalinkWell it looks like the curse is back for all superstitious folks out there. To many, he is just a harmless Arsenal mid fielder but I am starting to think everyone in Hollywood freaks out and gets worried whenever this chap scores for his goals are usually followed by a big celebrity death. Well to others he is like a prophet of doom and before anxious conspirators start making noise, no I don’t believe that he is an Illuminati killing machine. Well let’s go down into the details and some facts. About 5 celebrities have died hours after midfielder has scored. Apple CEO Steve Jobs, American superstar Whitney Houston, Libyan former leader Muammar Gaddafi , American actor and humanitarian Paul Walker, Al Qaeda leader Bin Laden, and of recent veteran comedian Robin Williams. Osama bin Laden was declared dead on May 2 2011 and Ramsey bagged a goal against Manchester United the day before. Apple guru Steve Jobs died at his home in California on October 5 and Ramsey hit headlines but scoring in North London derby against Spurs the weekend before. Libyan leader Colonel Gaddafi was captured by rebels on October 20 that year and Ramsey was there to bag an injury-time winner against Marseille in the Champions League.
And finally Whitney Houston was found dead in her bathroom on February 2012.Just hours before the Gunner has struck against Sunderland. Others believe he may have killed off other celebs with his goals - including legendary basketball player Ray Williams and Russian billionaire Roman Berezovsky. When Fast and Furious actor Paul Walker died in a car accident, Ramsey scored two goals against Cardiff that day. Hours after the star scored in his club's Community Shield victory , the tragic death of comedy actor Robin Williams was announced.
Video Launches, Nudies and Bebe Cool’s Love You Everyday
Wait I know its always important and nice to show that you have something up your sleeve. Now we know being up there in the past meant concert performances and album launches but there is a worrying trade going on…mbu video launches.So let me first get this, artistes put up shows, like concerts where they charge people to come and launch a music video. Videos that have been aired on NTV’s The Beat or Bukedde’s Luyimba Lwo or Urban’s Skizzy shows.Isn’t that a littlke too….desperate? Atfirst I thought this was a bad joke then I heard that Sarah Zawedde had one, then this Maro dude with his Mubi Mubi a collabo with David Lutalo. Then Iryn…the great Iryn Namubiru of all people was planning this circus. Well she later cancelled them allegedly in honour of rival and superstar Juliana’s son Keron Kabugo after he had passed away…a thing that to date I still think was a way to keep in the news. Then Bebe Cool released a wonderful video that got everyone talking. This was good. He had reached the proverbial end of the tunnel.I mean there were other good videos like Goodlife’s Neera, Iryn’s Temperature, Sheeba and Beenie Gunter’s No Offence…but Love You Everyday was close to perfect….until scandal erupted. In abid to use this to show off, Bebe went ahead to lie bragging that the video had cost him 120 Million shillings a thing that was ridiculed and proven to be not true. I mean it was nice but when we see a 120 Million shilling video, we get to know. Then claims that he had stolen the song from Steve Jean’s Fenon Records before time came up. The good thing that came from this perhaps was that it brought back TPF winner Esther Nabaasa into the spotlight as a songwriter. I mean after people supporting her, she had just bagged her millions and disappeared on us like that. Then the nudies disease. First Brenda Nambi , then Margla then Desire….the list is endless. Well there is one thing about me and celebrities , I believe the only truly leaked nude pics are the ones for Jennifer Lawrence. The rest are leaked by the celebrities themselves. So dear celebrities, if you are not as perfect as Flavia Tumusiime, spare us…no one is interested.

Today the number of people who have expressed an interest in the Millennium Development Goals is overwhelming. The MDGs are development goals identified and fronted by the United Nations [1] in September 2000(the beginning of a new millennium) that are intended to reduce extreme poverty and setting out a series of time-bound targets, with a deadline of 2015 which will probably will never be achieved because the year seems so near and there is still a lot to desire. I, like many people had not come to terms with this until last year in my First year at the Makerere University School of Law when for the Development Studies Coursework we were given the tiresome and partially traumatizing yet revealing task of visiting a slum of our choice, observe and later on write in relation to the possibility of achieving these goals. The situation was way worse than I had ever fathomed. In addition to poor infrastructure, our trip to Katanga was constantly punctuated with tales of frustrated young...

UGANDANS AND SEX TAPES AND THEIR INSISTENCE TO MOCK THE LOKODO AGENDA.

One of the traits majority of Ugandans have persisted to carry from time immemorial is the impressive ability to ignore the serious element of any law. If anything when laws are passed in Uganda, some folks look for the trivial or comic part of  the legislation, laugh it off and then cast bets on how long this would survive. So this is the attitude we flung to the ‘Helmets are mandatory’ and the ‘Wearing seat belts is compulsory’ legislation. And for years we lived in our easy law mockery life with all these rules and laws not existing for long. Then alas Mzee Museveni our President made an appointment. I know Ugandans who laughed at this too and thought this was the same old story…same people in different clothes. This iron lady from the Revenue Authority was a no nonsense lawyer who had come to clean up the city as its new Executive Director. It is still thanks to Jeniffer Musisi that most Ugandans had learnt that when the law states something, doing the reverse has repercussion...

AFRICAN DRAMA TELEVISION SERIES….a new rising era

A few years ago, you would never find any self respecting television fan confiding in anyone that one of the shows that they were ardent fans and viewers of was one that was written, conceived, acted, produced and acted in the cradle of life (read Africa)….an African Television show was another name for low quality, poor props, boring characters and predictable plots and storylines. There was no African show that would get anyone interested enough to feel the suspense that the show team intended them to feel. Even when the show’s villains were plotting on kidnapping and murdering the protagonist, it was not scary at all and even if one was to be that poor ill fated protagonist, there would be no need to worry. However in the Southern part of the continent, the members in their television industry had already decided to tread these seemingly untradeable waters and soon mastered the art. Luckily for the industry, these past months have seen many African drama series cropping up and yes,...
