relationships.
What is it with Ugandan girls and Bazungu ?
Nothing, it is about choice. Generally, girls want happiness and it’s easier with whites. Really, love should not hurt, nag or cause discomfort. Most times whites care more about our feelings than our tribemates.
Are these girls not gold-diggers?
No! They choose men for a lifetime; you cannot be a gold-digger for life. You cannot detooth a person you are living with for the rest of your life! These girls are looking for marriage, but once it fails, they leave.
And why do most girls go for elderly whites?
I can now guess where the interview leads us; I hope it won’t be a personal attack. But as I said, women are looking for comfort as long as comfort is discovered, everything is alright; age does not matter; it is just a number!
As for you, why did you choose a mzungu?
I dated a Ugandan man before but it did not work out. My current boyfriend is white; he has made me forget the past; he understands me better and supports me a lot. He lets me follow my dreams; I find all the qualities I wanted in him!
Your debut song Ani akumanyi (who knows you) suggests you are a snob. Is that true?
Nah! I am being honest; our society is funny; there are many people out there who think big about themselves all the time. Someone thinks because he or she drives, they will accord him a standing ovation, wapi! Such people are always irrelevant to the topics; they are braggarts; they don’t care about intimate connections. As an independent woman, I always fight them!
How is love across borders?
Men will always be men and marriage is the same across borders. The only difference is upbringing; two of you have got different backgrounds, which get assimilated once there is true love.
Doesn’t it breed suspicion?
No. As long as there is true love, such problems will never exist. He loves me so much and I automatically return it.
You always wear tempting costumes; doesn’t it put your husband on tension?
I think that is a personal problem; most people believe my costumes have no problem, but a few others will see something else. I am a decent girl and my boyfriend always recommends what I should wear. He has never been bothered by fans; if anything he has been in this industry, he knows music fans better than I do.
What is your phone policy at home?
Usually, we don’t pick each other’s phone because it is private. If there is anything I don’t understand, I let him know; if there is anything I need to crosscheck in his phone I politely ask but no one snoops at each other using the phone.
