This is a special announcement.
I have written this column, read through it several times and have now come to the conclusion; DO
NOT READ IT!
Do not dare read this article if you want to live your lifespan through. And for the sake of your morals, etiquette and, above all, national security, you had better stop here and go to better edifying literature on the next page. And should you read to the end, I will not be held accountable for any effects, biological, social, spiritual or insecurity that you might suffer.
I have to be frank. I am putting this disclaimer because I sincerely want you to read to the end. The first lesson mankind learnt on earth, according to the Christian bible, is to get curious about the forbidden fruit. So if you want your fruit to be eaten, declare it forbidden, impound it at the airport and announce that it contains security connotations. There is no better advert than a big bold warning that says: DO NOT READ.
Last week, The Uganda Human Rights Commission released a report detailing violations of last year. Not many people are stampeding to read it because the Government did not declare it a security threat and forbid people from getting it. But Dr. Olive Kobusingye’s book: The Correct Line? Uganda Under Museveni, is a hot cake just because it was seized shortly after DHL shipped it in and security agencies say they want to first do thorough investigations. In this era of modern communication and international access, Kobusingye should be the luckiest author on earth.
There is a Kimansulo I went for once upon a time where the stage crew had no problem with the audience looking through up to the heart. But among them was one shy timid girl, who must have been a new recruit. Eventually, the audience started baying for her turn to lead the dance because she kept herself coded while others exposed themselves inside out. So, declare it out of bounds and its price will rise.
And guess what, the strategy works even in relationships, especially when you need an intricate strategy to win over someone’s heart. This happens when the target is so beautiful and intimidating. Women, who are very attractive can boost your self-esteem, status among friends and give you beautiful offspring but not all that glitters is gold. You need to compete for them and when you get them, they easily make you their puppet, fan up jealousy in you and can easily suck you dry. For most gorgeous women are self-centred and self-absorbed. They are generally takers, not givers. They are sex-ploiters. But their main weakness is that they are used to the world falling over itself for them.
So you need to come with a different move entitled Not For Sale.
If you treat her like she is nothing special, talk to her like she was a normal human being, do not act awestruck and do not gush out compliments, she will be surprised. Keep aloof, don’t stare at her with lust and actually give her less endowed girlfriend more attention. She won’t be able to stand it because you will be the only guy within a hundred kilometres who isn’t drooling over her.
You will become a challenge. Her instinct will be boiling over to conquer you even if it is to satisfy her insecurity that there is someone immune to her charms. She will succumb to the urge of demystifying you and lose her power. That way, you will come into the interaction on top.
Whether you are a parent, teacher, marketer or government, the message remains the same; whatever is forbidden, off limits, out of bounds, covered, etc, will attract the greatest of interest.
And if you want the public to act too busy for any publication, ignore it and introduce to them better alternatives. That is how security agencies have acted with Kobusingye’s book; like mother duck (NOT mother hen) at the loss of her chick.
Sometimes I think I would make a better presidential adviser, I really do.
