I’ve seen Bobi Wine standing on top of his car and calling himself Ngobi, a descendant of Luuka District. He couldn’t be more right. I think he has a relationship with this other Ngobi I saw on top of a taxi some 13 years ago. Also in Luuka. But Ngobi, the conductor, was not campaigning like Ngobi the Kyagulanyi; he was earning his living. The hard way.
Now, this is a story published 13 years ago, but it’s worth revisiting, thanks to Ngobi, the Kyagulanyi.
My Nkrumah Hall roomie Kazungu insisted that his graduation party would be incomplete without my presence in Nakibuyu village in Luuka. I protested but then he promised enough ffene (jackfruit) to make me forget my name.
