Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Deserved criticism is the strongest form of patriotism. Mindless loyalty is simple-minded nationalism. I always criticise Bobi, where he deserves it at the risk of being hated by his supporters. He gave an interview yesterday on BBC in London, and he managed to base most of his answers on a series of bizarre falsehoods that bear no resemblance to reality. I have no idea where he is getting his information, but none of it is real. So, let me get right into it.<\/b><\/p>\n

HOMOSEXUALITY<\/p>\n

He stated that he\u2019s now a changed man when asked about his anti-gay lyrics that led to his 10-year ban to the UK. Do you know what that means? He now either supports homosexuality now, or he\u2019s more tolerant, but how does that play in local politics in Uganda? His statement did not obviously resonate with the people who elected him.<\/p>\n

However, while speaking at a Muslim gathering in North London flanked by Dr. Rashid Kasato, he stated that he\u2019s the same person he was before the ban, and I quote, \u2018I won\u2019t go through the reasons why I was banned \u2013 you know them, but i\u2019m still the same Bobi original\u2019. Such a strange, double-faced person!<\/p>\n

MUSEVENI BROUGHT THE BILL<\/p>\n

What he said about Museveni was dubious, but no more so than what he said about Dr. Kiiza Besigye when he was trying to sell himself to Ugandans. At one point, he called Besigye \u2018Museveni\u2019s Charlie\u2019, meaning \u2018Museveni\u2019s buddy\u2019.<\/p>\n

He said the anti-gay bill was brought by Museveni to target the opposition, mainly himself. The bill wasn\u2019t brought by an NRM MP \u2013 it was tabled by JEEMA\u2019s Asuman Basalirwa. So, how does Museveni come in to use it against the opposition? Is Bobi saying that most of the opposition is gay- friendly, yet all opposition MPs voted for the bill? Basalirwa is an MP because of Bobi. The latter is, literally, his boss. Is he saying that Asuman works for Museveni, too?<\/p>\n

NUP MPs WORK FOR MUSEVENI<\/p>\n

When he asked why MPs of his party, NUP, voted for the ant-gay bill, he stated that some of his MPs work for Museveni. For the record, all the 57 NUP MPs voted for the Bill, which is now a law. Does that mean that all Kyagulanyi\u2019s MPs work for Museveni? Where does that leave him as a leader of the party?<\/p>\n

No matter what some Nupian bloggers and the media say, it was a stunningly insensitive thing to say. He was dismissive of the intergrity of his MPs, and he was apparently using it as part of a bid for sympathy for the gay community who faced discrimination through the recently passed anti-gay law If he doesn\u2019t follow that remark with an apology to NUP MPs, he will become a pariah among the leadership of the party. Assuming his goal is to bring awareness and respect to the LGBT minority, he may be sabotaging himself in the process.<\/p>\n

EXPEL HIM?<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure if there even exists any mechanism for expelling Bobi from party leadership or if it is even possible. He is obviously a divisive individual in opposition \u2013 he has proven to be dishonest and lacking credibility \u2013 his actions and words more than justify anything someone could say about him.<\/p>\n

However,the NUP MPs have not learned their lesson yet \u2013 I\u2019m sure they will still welcome him in big numbers wherever he goes because he remains their ticket for reelection in 2026. He could eat babies, but they will still support and protect him \u2013 it\u2019s a survival game. MPs get elected into parliament with his support. Every MP contributes something monthly to the Bobi\/party coffers, and everyone is happy.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the same with trips abroad. The NUP supporters with a business acumen organise music festivals where Bobi and Nubian Ali come to sing \u2013 he gets his cut, and they get their cut. It\u2019s all about making money!<\/p>\n

Marketing includes advertising, self-promotion as well as \u201cword of mouth\u201d. The organisers market their festivals as \u2018struggles against Museveni\u2019 and the chance to see the \u2018blessed young man\u2019 to get people to come in big numbers. They announce to the cameras about his next show that they are planning to sell.<\/p>\n

Bobi also announces a thank-you-message blast full of videos and photos on social media sites he uses (e.g., Facebook, Twitter, etc.), to get people hooked on his next visits \u2013 It\u2019s all to make sure everybody knows his name. I\u2019m sure we are going to get such festivals in London soon now that Bobi is allowed to travel. Social media platforms won\u2019t cost you anything to build an audience that recognizes you.<\/p>\n

Another clever way of marketing himself is by getting his agents to appeal to people to welcome him at the airports in big numbers. It obviously inconveniences travellers rushing to catch their flights because of traffic created, but I don\u2019t think Bobi cares about that. The world and air waves are filled with artists who have what I would call limited talent but are huge stars. They got there because of fantastic marketing. I saw videos of a few Ugandans waiting for Bobi at Heathrow airport, and I smilingly thought, \u2018How come Besigye never used to market himself that way whenever he travelled abroad?\u2019<\/p>\n

He also markets himself by taking photos with white people to make it look like donors have endorsed him for something. There\u2019s also a video showing him promoting his documentary film, and,of course, some white people were in attendance. It\u2019s all one big marketing game!<\/p>\n

For the record,there\u2019s no UK or American \u201cestablishment \u201d that has welcomed Bobi with open arms, as far as I know. The closest the UK government has openly supported an opposition Ugandan leader was when David Cameron was PM here \u2013 He even risked taking official photos with Besigye, and his party financially bankrolled FDC though it didn\u2019t change anything back in Uganda.<\/p>\n

Museveni is like a CIA agent in the East African region. Nobody can risk replacing him with someone like that, but Bobi can surely be used to blackmail him over certain issues. During Obote 1, Kabaka Mutesa 11 thought he had UK support when he ended up in exile in 1966. He was told to either accept Obote as president or live as any other refugee. The donors only protect their interests<\/p>\n

What\u2019s saddening about this whole thing is that it has taken some Ugandans an exorbitant amount of time to don common sense mentalities and realize that this man is quite unwholesome. Many of the Nupians have embraced identity politics and show no signs of slowing down \u2013 Bobi is a symptom of that.<\/p>\n

In the immediate future, you can surely expect to see more of his type of bigotry within the NUP Party and not less. It seems to me that all the sympathy he\u2019s garnered from this \u2014 not to mention funds from dinners and music festivals! \u2014 will encourage him to make more of these controversial remarks in the future, which could be a very bad idea.<\/p>\n
