Wen we were growing up with our jjajja in d village, we would hear every good thing bein talked abt KAMPALA. During d festive seasons and on all social functions, we wud luk forward to receiving the Kampalans. A separate n well fried dish would always b prepared for Kampala people on social functions. Empombo zabava e Kampala, eno tent we wagenda okutuula abava e Kampala, E sowaani abe Kampala ze banaliirako, eno toilet eliko olujji gye tutaddemu toilet paper temujigendamu...yabava e kampala...mwe mugende mweeri eliko akadeeya........HHHHHHMMMMMM.......NKUGAMBYE!!!!!! Thorough general cleaning of d house would b a routine wereva we were expectin to receive Kampala pipo....so that tetuswaala eri bana-Kampala. Am sure the same still exists in villages. In brief, i personally used to to think that AFTER GOD, ITS KAMPALA PIPO NXT. In fact, evr young kid dwn in d village has a painted picture in his minds of hw he thinks Kampala kud b lookin like. So, tym kem n i seriously got fed up of dis bullsh*t of hyping Kampala pipo wereva dea wud b a social function eyo ewaffe mu kyaalo. N a was like njagala lumu ngendeko e Kampala neelabireko... i want one day to go to Kampala n see for ma self. Bt.....I HAD NO MONEY. So kye nali nina okukola was to wait wen i wud gt enaf dime that kud bring me to Kampala. So, i promised myself that the nxt time i gt money, i wont do anything wit it, bt i will go to Kampala nange neelabireko e ggulu lyokunsi. It didnt take so long. God answered ma prayers. N guess wat.....I GOT THE MONEY. Hehehehehe. Chance struck that mum had paid half of the school fees. So, ku shule ne basigala nga batubanjaayo ka balance. So, a week before d End of Term Exams...mum yaweereza jjajja sente, nzitwaale ku ssomero nziwe bbaasa[bursar]. It was 20,000/=. That was alot of dime BY THEN...leave alone dis inflation of today. I was in Primary Four. So i had to sacrifice my education so that i kill my curiosity ...i had to kam to Kampala. Dats d only chance i had got. From Masaka to Kampala by then it was 5k in a coaster. It was d same faire on d return journey. So i had enaf to enable me also do sm shopping in Kampala. The followin day i didnt go to skul, it was ma day to hit Kampala. So, in ma small bag whr i used to carry ma cup for takin porridge, i also filled it with ma best shirt n trouser. Jjajja teyandaba. We used to leave her in bed nga akyeebase. There was sm mango tree in sm bush as u gt near our skul..so under dat mango tree is whr i did the changin. Afta, i packed ma uniform in ma skul bag..n climbed that tree n hung ma bag up there. It was off-season 4 mangoes. So i was sure ma bag was safe. Hehehehehe. It was tym to go straight to d park. I boarded a coaster... n vrooooooom.....we took off. To my surprise, we reached Kampala before i knew we had reached. I was so keen along d way to start seein sm sort of heaven ...n notice dat YES, we r nw in Kla. We reached Namirembe road n passengers started kamin out. I remained seated. Conductor nambuuza nti gwe yaanga toveeyo, nze nkoma wano??. Nange saali mubi ne mubuuza nti...lwaki totutuusizza Kampala?? Ye nambuuza nti.. wano oliwa...Ne gyolaga tomanyiiyo?? Sabuuza kibuuzo kilala, nenfuluma coaster. Hehehehehehehe. I was so surprised that e Kampala wamerayo omuddo. Hahaha. I didnt xpect any grass in Kampala. I was so surprised that there is any dirty soil in Kampala. I xpected cement everywhere. I was so surprised..bt at d same time happy that i had made ma dream kam true. Nali nzizeeko e Kampala. So i had to move around n see Kampala. I moved alng Namirembe road up to Bakuli..n peeped inside Old Kampala SS. I came back. I moved along Nakivubo. Actually i had to change ma style of walk. I tried to gt a new style koz i thot kampala pipo had their own walkin style. So nange nali nina okuva ku ntambula yekyaalo...mbe muna-kampala omujjuvu. I toured along Total Nakivubo..by then it was CALTEX. N i stopped around Mini Price. I didnt want to go vr far...nali saagala kubulira Kampala. I also moved around Mengo...Kabaka Njagala road n peeped inside Bulange. I was jst movin free style. Nga simanyi gyendaga..nga nesanga ntuuse e Bulange, Bakuli. Nga bwendaba ntambudde nyo, nga nzilayo e mabega gyenva....ssi kuba nga mbula. Bt wen i was goin to Bulange.. i wud touch d ground n feel Kampala soil. Oba ddala lifaana nga elyewaffe e Masaka. I wud also note landmarks like trees, buildings, sign posts, e.t.c along the way so that i dnt gt lost wen kamin bk frm Bulange. Koz dis is d furthest i went so i was makin sure i dnt gt lost. I didnt eat food in Kampala. I jst bought a cake n a soda, thats what i took. Buying food plus sitting dwn to eat wud consume sm of ma tym wc a wud hv used to tour Kampala. I wanted to utilize evr second to d fullest. Besides, nze nali simanyi mmere gye balya e Kampala. Nga nze nndowooza bo tebalya lumonde...nga ndowooza waffe banakyaalo. Wen i was done wit Kampala, i had to get bk to Masaka. N by 5pm, i was already in Masaka. I still had ma Kampala walkin style. N ma little minds thot that pipo wud jst luk at me n notice dat am frm Kampala...so that bampa ekitiibwa. Naye waaaa....nga bonna bempitako basigala beekolera byaabwe. Hehehe. I had to go bk wali mu muti we nalesse uniform yange njambale ngende ewaka. I also had to gt an xcuse to tell jjajja koz she was to ask me if i had given d fees balance to d bursar. So i chose to go home cryin n tell jjajja that i had lost d dime ku break nga tusaamba akapiira. Era bwe namugamba. She ril quarreled naye nga talina kyakukola..zaagudde tezikyadda. Mum yeweereza endala. Ezo zo jjajja ye yazitwaalayo. I was allowed to do exams koz i nvr had any bad record wen it kem to payin ma fees. Munange kati ndi wano njagala kugendako MADRID mu Spain. Njagala kulaba ku CHRISTIANO RONALDO ne MESSI nbakwaateko ddala nkakase oba bantu nga ffe...oba tebaliiyo nga jino emipiira gyetulaba nga bateeba ama goal for fun bya computer nga batuliimba. Njagala ngende ne ku Emirates Stadium ntunule akasajja ako ka WENGER mu maaso nkagambe nti VVA KU TEAM YAFFE TWAKUKOOWA. Kubanga kilabika abazungu bo batya okukagambako. Am jst waiting for smbdy to trust me ampe sente ze nzimutwaalire mu bank. Hehehehehehehe. Ajja kukanya kunniinda paka Yesu lwaalidda.
