SIX children from City Parents School visited Bobi Wine, the PAM Award Artiste of the Year, at his new home in Gayaza. Ivor
Kimbugwe: You sang BADA, what does it mean? It is an abbreviation to mean ‘Bobi Wine Against Disrespectful Acts’. I’m totally against disrespectful acts. In the song, I talk about this man who married a woman but later started beating her up.
Shadiya: You have a lot of money but your road is very bad.[Laughing] Well I have just bought that road and you see this is a new house. I’ll work on it.
Ivor: Why do you call your self a president?I don’t call myself president. People call me a President.
Ivor: So do you have a government? Yes. I am the president of the ghetto.
Chelsea Mpanga: Where is your ghetto? Every ghetto is mine. A ghetto is a place where people are living in a nasty place where there is a lot of poverty, not because they or their parents chose. That is where I was born and brought up by a single mother. So I represent them.
Ivor: I see on TV they call you “President of Uganjaâ€.
[Laughs] like you said ‘they call me’, so that’s ‘them’.
Derrick Naiswa: But your excellency, where did the name Uganja came from?
I don’t even know where the name Bobi Wine came from.
Shadiya: What are your real names?
My real name is Kyagulanyi Ssentamu Lubereta Tembo Robert II. My friends in school called me Bob from Robert.
Shadiya: Rumour has it that you wanted to put “President†on your car number plate but you were refused.Yes, actually I had put it there.
Ivor: How many cars do you have?
I have bought so many cars and I have never sold any. I had seven cars but one got an accident and it was written off. Now I have six.
Ivor: What was your first song?
I started writing songs when I was in P.3 but the first song that hit the waves was Kaggoma.
Grace Nalwanga: Your excellency, what’s your favourite song?
Coat of Many Colours by Dolly Paton. My mother used to love it too and I was so close to my mother. It reminds me of her.
Ivor: Is your wife in any of your songs? No. My wife is in a different sect altogether. She is a born again Christian and a part time preacher.
Ivor: Why do you call your people fire base crew?It is people who call us so because we are full of fire.
Kimbugwe: You sang BADA, what does it mean? It is an abbreviation to mean ‘Bobi Wine Against Disrespectful Acts’. I’m totally against disrespectful acts. In the song, I talk about this man who married a woman but later started beating her up.
