Come rain or high water, we shall eat!

true

 Last weekend, the state minister for regional cooperation Asumani Kiyingi threw a bash for voters in Bugabula South, Kamuli district. But at meal time, the rain came down and many scattered.

However, a good number of them braved the downpour and used plastic chairs as umbrellas, saying,”We cannot miss the food our MP has prepared just because of rain.”

The function took place at Nabigongerya Primary School in Kitayunjwa sub-county.

Woman fights mother-in-law

BUIGEMBE - What started as a small argument turned Wanyama Road into a drama scene as a woman blasted her mother-in-law one Saturday morning. Apparently, one Tenywa gave sh100,000 to his mother, Nakanda, to buy food for the week.

But when his wife, Nairuba, heard about this, she attacked her mother-in-law, demanding for the money. The old woman paid a deaf ear, but Nairumba scolded her loudly, attracting attention.

When Nakanda held onto the money, Nairuba locked her out of the house. Neighbours had to call Tenywa to mediate. He apologised and decided to take his mother back to Nawanyago village in Kamuli.

Oh Uganda . . .

trueResidents of Namukunyu in Buyende district on Wednesday mobilised themselves and took up hoes, spades, pangas and wheelbarrows to fix the road at Nabigaaga swamp.

Heavy rains had swept away culverts and made the road impassable.

The road connects Buyende and Kamuli districts.

They forced road users to pay between sh500 and sh2,000, including Buyende Woman MP Veronica Babirye Kadogo.

She was also tasked to ferry stones on her pick-up truck, before she could proceed.

Pastor defects from her own church

NTUNGAMO - The leader of a Born-again (Pentecostal) church, New Jerusalem Healing Centre, Pastor Teddy Muhiiga has defected to the Catholic Church!

She told her bewildered followers that the man she hated, the long serving Catholic priest at Ntungamo town catholic parish, had been transferred and so, she was re-joining her mother church.

She said her abandonment of Catholicism in the first place had been because of a priest, whom she described as a dictator.

He was recently transferred to Mbarara archdiocese, after serving for 20 years in Ntungamo. Muhiiga was welcomed last Sunday by the new priest, Fr. Richard Sebugwawo and was allowed to take Holy Communion.

She returned with many Catholics who had abandoned the church.

Grandpa thief paraded for stealing matooke (bananas)

trueHe seems to be clocking 70, but the residents of Kyempene in Lubaale sub-county did not spare an old man who had stolen a bunch of matooke.

The old man had been on the run for over a week until the residents launched a manhunt for him. When they finally found him, they tried to lynch him.

“Give him to us so that we can teach him a lesson. We are forced to dig, yet he just wants to steal what we plant,” they ranted.

At the time of his capture, the man had only one cluster left. He begged for forgiveness, but in vain.

Everyone who wanted to attack him, including children, was given a chance to cane the old man, until they were tired.

Later, using a rope, they fastened the cluster over his shoulder (picture above left) and paraded him through the village.

Man spies on his mistress

JINJA - Juma, 37, of Mpumudde estates was recently seen tiptoeing to his mistress Azuma’s home after receiving information from her neighbours that she was importing men at night.

He knocked on her door while saying: “I came to see whether you have another man in your bed, so open the door,” but Azuma said she could not open because she did not have paraffin to light a lamp .

‘’Juma, you have a wife at home but I have stayed loyal to you, yet you still feel insecure about me. You are embarrassing me,’’ she Azuma. She left him to stay outside until the neighbours asked her to let him in.

When Juma searched the house and did not find a man, he told her, “I now trust you and I will never believe in rumours again.’’ Relieved and satisfied, he then spent the night.

In the name of tradition . . . yummy!

The elder was drinking blood during a celebration of Karimojong pupils who had graduated from alternative basic education.

The pupils can then join the formal system of the Ministry of Education and Sports.

Stranded passenger pays with sugar

MBALE - Nandawa travelled from Mbale, expecting her boyfriend to be waiting for her at Jinja taxi park. Well at least that is what she claimed to the taxi conductor who wanted his sh10,000 fare.

Upon getting to the park, Nandawa's lover was nowhere to be seen and his phone was off. Her tears did not melt the taxi man's heart who decided to confiscate her luggage.

People then advised the conductor to take the 2kgs of sugar from her luggage in place of the fare.

Unfortunately, Nandawa was left stranded.

'Butcherman' on demand

BUGIRI – A guy known around as Butcherman because of his disability, has a new claim to fame, after sex workers Nakirija and Nalweyiso, exchanged blows over him on Monday.

Nakirija found Butcherman drinking with Nalweyiso at Jane’s bar and attacked her. Soon, the two were pulling Butcherman from one side to the other, but Nakirija proved stronger.

When Nalweyiso hit her on the head, a serious fight broke out as revellers adopted a non-interference policy. Both girls were bleeding by the time they were separated.

Meanwhile, Butcherman vanished and returned the next day, praising himself.

And in foreign crazy news . . .French weather forecast in the nude!

trueFrench weather girl, Doris Tillier (right), presented Wednesday’s forecast completely naked, after losing her bet that France would not qualify for the World Cup in Brazil.

When the French football team lost 0 – 2 to Ukrain the previous week, Tiller betted that if the team recovered, she would read her weather forecast on TV network Canal+ naked.

Last Tuesday, France dramatically booked their place in Brazil at the Stade de France by beating Ukraine 3 - 0.

When the channel viewers pressured her to carry out her bet, she stripped - much to the delight of viewers across the country.

And finally, where there is a will . . .
