The Ugandan soccer team, The Cranes, have just won a mere friendly game, 3-2 to the chaps of the Cha Chamapinduzi fame, Tanzania, justs here here Yesterday but one. These punks then returned on a low key and had a ki dinner at the J&M airport hotel, whose proprietor died recently (it seems the pints there are still free till it’s taken over, these mean punks couldn’t have paid up that tab).
That’s all beside the point. These buggers, dedicated their win to the victims of the Bududa landslides. It would have been okay if they just shut up at that point, but no, the news guys were there goddamit, so they said;
“we have nothing to offer to the victims, save for our victory”
This victory shall, among other things, be received by the Red Cross to top up on the much needed 2 billion Shillings. Part of the victory shall be used to build iron sheet shelters for the survivors, while the other part of the victory shall be used as blankets and stuff!!
Some idlers playing pool at Nakulabye, today at 11 am, after reading the papers, started winning games and dedicating the victories to the people of Bududa, “heck, if the mighty cranes can offer victory, so can we”, was all that they chanted as they used the dimes they wanted to offer to buy yet more pig’s ears!
FUFA president, that bugger whose name you shouldn’t care much to know, gave the Uganda Cranes a bonus of 5 million shillings, to top up on the usual allowances they had received for the international friendly game, but they still had nothing more to offer than a bloody victory, of a silly friendly game that no one knew was even being played!
Just last month, the Uganda government, in a very weird bid to be on CNN, not even on the main tv story, but the thingy that scrolls down while the news is read, offered 100,000 dollars to Haiti, which is like…..a zillion miles away, but it’s the thought and dimes that count. As we waited for them to announce a ki big sum for our own chaps, they didn’t! They said that the ruling party was putting up a HUGE amount of 28 million bucks, like 13,000 dollars, and it was all on pledge cards, like those of wedding meetings, coz it will come from the March salaries of the ruling party members, sorry Bududa, y’all ain’t international newsworthy, so u suffer.
Local idiot Bobi Swine who promised a charity concert for the Haiti victims by the end of Feb, just showed yet again, what an ass he is, and that is an insult to all asses “comparing them to this punk!” Anything for the news. This bastard is going to predictably put up his old escalade for auction, knowing no one buys junk anymore, but what the heck, his silly lookin self will be in the papers.
Human nature however dictates that we behave this way. As kids, we be yelling “daddy, mommy, look at me, am swinging….look at me”, and zeeyis be pretending to be interested in the crap you be doing. Teachers in class would give a sweet for a correct answer, so we would all strive for attention so we get a sweet.
This behavior, unfortunately and sub-consciously grows with us into adulthood, so we tend to do stuff ONLY when we shall be seen, and probably to also impress that God fella, so we only do good when we know there are witnesses around.
Humans suck…..sometimes! But, what to do!
