When the country thought that Makerere University research fellow Dr Stella Nyanzi had toned down on her language following her incarceration for several days, the Nalongo as she prefers to call herself seems to be recharging herself for more controversial postings on social media.
Dr Nyanzi has launched a fresh an indirect attack on President Museveni in which he accused clergymen of not confronting Mr Museveni’s regime which the academician described as a dictatorship.
“Your so-called God appointed you into positions of power and gave you a platform from which you can preach liberation from the thirty-one year old dictatorship, and all that you do is preach about Stella Nyanzi calling the matako matako,” Dr Nyanzi posted a few minutes after students who protested her bail denial were treated similarly.
Below are two of her latest Facebook posts.
Court has been adjourned until Wednesday 24th May 2017 for both hearing and bail! The students are clearly very disappointed! Down with the NRM junta, down!
I am seated on a wooden bench on the side of freedom in Buganda Road Magistrates’ Court, in solidarity with the four students of Makerere University who were arrested on 10th May 2017 for holding a peaceful demonstration against my own arrest and imprisonment. Shame on Uganda for arresting and intimidating brainy daring thinkers who hold peaceful protests against Museveni’s dictatorial family-rule.
The four students were denied bail and instead remanded to the ugly underbelly of the state called Luzira Prison. Imagine imprisoning university students for exercising their constitutional rights to hold peaceful demonstrations! Fuck this rotten regime! We must urgently put an end to this fucked up state intimidation of oppositional voices.
Viva Edmond Kahigi, viva!

Viva peaceful demonstrators of Makerere University, viva!

For as long as she could, my mother ensured that I went to church promptly, every Sunday morning that we lived in the same house. And she had those Sunday Best clothes for all her four children. I am certain that everySunday of my first three decades on earth, I dressed up smartly and went to church promptly. I loved church as much as I loved the God in church.
At thirty years, I grew up spiritually, saw the ugly contradictions among church-goers, started sampling many other faiths, and stopped going to church on Sunday mornings. Although I remained a deeply spiritual person, I developed a healthy distance between myself and the zealous hypocrites who flood our churches in Uganda, every Sunday. I particularly don’t do pastors, priests, reverends, bishops, prophets, apostles, church elders, intercessors, choir leaders, ushers, the works of religious leaders.
But I hear that many of these religious leaders were wantonly dragging me into their churches, and onto their pulpits, from which they repeatedly said my name as the punching bag and prime example of national immorality in twenty-first century Uganda. Silly pharisees! Your so-called God appointed you into positions of power and gave you a platform from which you can preach liberation from the thirty-one year old dictatorship, and all that you do is preach about Stella Nyanzi calling the matako matako. Instead of rebuking Uganda’s dictators and corrupt public officers, you used your pulpits to rebuke Stella Nyanzi for telling a lying fool sitting as a minister that she is a lying fool!
You snakes! I dare you to go ahead using me as the perfect example of national immorality. Instead of using your powerful platforms to emancipate the minds of oppressed Ugandans through the teaching of liberation theologies, you are busy castigating me for doing your work. Instead of challenging the reign of a satanic evil gang of gun-swinging despots and their greedy family members, you are busy receiving their bloody tithes and praying for God to multiply these offertories. Shame on the churches in Uganda for offering your erect penises into the continued service of raping our nation. Shame on all believers who support the Musevenis’ dictatorship. Amen.
