Jul 18, 2012

That is 100% true. They spend the entire day working tooth and nail looking for money and then spend sleepless nights ‘eating’ their money. Then they complain in the morning that they do not have money.

Oulanya, is it true poor people don’t sleep?
That is 100% true. They spend the entire day working tooth and nail looking for money and then spend sleepless nights ‘eating’ their money. Then they complain in the morning that they do not have money.

There was a rumour that you left your former work place because of booze. Do you still drink?
A lot and every day. 

What is the percentage of blood in your alcohol?
I have been taking alcohol for a long time but there is no doctor who has ever told me that the alcohol in my blood is alarming. When I take alcohol, I make sure I eat fruits to dilute it.

Who chooses your clothes?
The shop attendant or hawkers. I stopped going to Owino, because whenever I step there people think I have a lot of money to splash out. That is why I buy my clothes on the roadside. 

You have been around for some good years. Do you have a child?
A: In the next five months, God is going to reward me with a child. At last my fiancé is pregnant.

When are you getting married?
When I get enough money I will throw a lavish wedding for you people who want to see me married. I am also still looking for more witnesses to attend that wedding. In case things go wrong I shall have people to blame.

When will you complete your law degree?
I completed my degree. It is only LDC that I did not attend because I did not have time. I was busy looking for money. But I think I should enroll in the next intake because my brain is still solid.

During your show, you speak in a funny Luganda accent. Don’t you have problems with Baganda?
They like it. At least I have not got any complaint from my fans because most of them are Baganda. I shock them when I start talking to them using Luganda proverbs.

Do you also act like that when you attend a funeral service or baptism?
I hate attending serious functions. One time mourners almost beat me up. I found people crying, and then I also joined and started crying, people thought I was just mocking them. They called up a few strong men around to beat me up. When the men came, they realised I had genuine tears of sorrow.
