Neighboring Kenya has shown more than solidarity in these times of Trial. To give their full support in the campaign for the release of Kyadondo East MP, Bobi Wine, the musicians cam together in an evening concert, drawing a large number.
Freedom for Bobi WIne
The stage was put up, with a large picture of the musician, and fellow artists hit the stage. The crowds of people, started to turn up a bit early, all demanding for the same thing. The event was completely free of charge.
The stage was set up with his picture
The neighboring country has shown cooperation during this fight for Bobi Wine’s Freedom. They started with blocking the Busia Boarder in demonstration. They have now organized a peaceful match to Freedom Corner on Thursday, when Bobi Wine will be taken for trial in the Military Court, Makindye.
“On Wednesday 22 August, 5pm, #FreedomConcert @pawa254. On Thursday 23rd August, a peaceful protest by active citizens of Kenya to #FreeBobiWine and #Arua33. Meet up:Freedom Corner, Uhuru Park, 9am. See You There,” Boniface Mwangi, a Kenyan activist shared in a tweet late last week.
The country is in anger over the occurrences in the past few days. Singer Bebe Cool, however does not care and has shown his love for his president once again. The international performer changed his profile picture, into one where he was with the president during the Golden Heart Concert.
A range of fans flocked the comment box to express their anger and disgust. Some of the comments are as below;
Vivi Enne. When they came for Bobi Wine you uploaded a pic of you bootlicking a dictator. When they’ll come for you we will upload your photos and ask for your release because real people realise that where one’s right stops, is where another one’s starts. #freebobiwine #closetheugandanembassyinke
#peoplepower
Moses maina.Hahahaha…#freebobiwine is trending on social media here in kenya..and you are there bootylicking and taking a selfie with bobi wine’s oppresor..really bebe cool?? I thought its not which politician you support but respect of human rights and freedom particularly the most fundamental one of right against torture!
Dhumba Hakim. This reminds of the story where Satan( the snake) convinced Eve to persuade Adam to eat the forbidden fruit so m7 is ever using this bebecool guy to spread his venom across Uganda and the poor guy( bebecool) just can’t realize that . Anyway I’m not surprised kubanga katonda yagamba bilina amaaso naye tebilaba # free bobiwine #
He however had some supporters on.his post also. Like this comment from a one Roger’s Talemwa.
I really want Bobi to be free. Like for real. But I looked two times in Bebe’s post to see if Bobi exists in the pic and i didn’t see. ?
If Bebe loves M7 and they have a personal relationship, what does it bother You? If you don’t like him and M7, what does it bother them? It is so unfortunate that a fellow artist suffering in prison but remember he is in this situation as a politician not as Bebe’s rival. ?
And i don’t know why Ugandans think those who don’t follow what they follow are fools when you didn’t even develop from the same sperm duct… ?
Will u go pour hot soup on your neighbors child because his father seduced your mom?
The entire country uganda is chanting the same song. Free Bobi Wine. Everyone wants to see the Ghetto president set free to his people. What we live most about the Ugandan community is that they are business oriented, and grasp any available opportunity to create and make income. With the #freebobiwine campaign, most T-shirt printing businesses have got some money.
The most preferred color is red, as this represents the People’s Power. The fight for Bobi wine release has just began among the people in the country,and if you do not have yourseld one of these shirts yet, you had better do so. Here are some amazing outlets for you.
The world has come together to fight for the release of singer turned MP, Robert Kyagulanyi who was recently arrested in Arua. The representative of Kyadondo East, who is known by the names Bobi Wine, has since then been arrested and detained in an unknown own location. The Comedians of the country have come out to say all this is not funny, in a special campaign.
Photos flooded Social Media, of some of the big names of the people who usually make us break our jaws. They decided it is not time for commedy, and this Ghetto president needed to be released. See photos below;
When it is not funnyKansii me doesn’t like itFree Bobi wineStop the oppression
If you thought the famous MP of Kyadondo East, Robert Kyagulanyi, aka Bobi Wine does not know a lot of people, think again. Various International artists, including Sautisol, Patoranking and Chaka Chaka have come out to send a message for his release.
Sautisol shared the hash tag, free Bobi Wine, along with a freedom photo of him. The same goes for Patoranking
Chaka Chaka, the princess of Africa also wrote;
“I have heard that my Nelson Mandela in Uganda has been brutally arrested, tortured & jailed illegally & due to face an illegal court martial.
Dear Ugandans, it’s your right to help this boy. We South Africans have heard a lot of bad things about Uganda but believe with such good hearted people like my friend Bobi Wine everything can change. During our time, we didn’t have the social media but we changed South Africa.
Right now, you have the social media so use it to free your Nelson Mandela. As for his wife Barbra Kyagulanyi, be strong. God will always protect you no matter what he goes through. Make it a habit of posting his pictures with a simple meaningful message every morning and evening.
Trust me, every government is afraid of the pressure on social media. That’s why i heard that the big man there is taxing your social media. As for me, am going to create awareness in South Africa. Don’t lose hope. Hope is vital in every struggle. All those cases against him will go away. Oh Mama Africa”. Taken from EEye Uganda
Lets keep sharing until he is released.
Following the arrest of fellow musician, Bobi Wine, the internet has been preaching nothing but his Freedom, Rema’s fans have not been settled, seeing that the singer had not posted naything concerning the matter, on her wall. They attacked her with comments on all her social media posts since then, not giving the lady any time to rest. In a recent Facebook Live Video, Rema Namakula has come out out talk to the internet trolls who have been on her case.
Rema and Barbie have always been friends
In the video, she shares her insights on the matter. Rema explains that she usually likes to take time to know if something is true. To collect various facts, before jumping to conclusion. This is to avoid jumping onto the bandwagon.
“This incident happened when i was out of the country…,” she explained. Rema further shared with her fans that she would make a statement, but is doing it for nobody, because she can choose to stay indoors and keep quiet.
“Bobi is my friend, he is a parent, a husband, a peoples person.,” she continued, and asked everyone, sisters, friends, colleagues and fellow musicians to pray for Bobi Wine, because he too is prayerful. Watch the video to get all of Rema’s advice.
The owner of Pacific Hotel, Arua, where Bobi Wine was residing during the Arua Municipality MP campaign last week, has asked government for compensation. In the search for the Members of Parliament of Kyadondo East, various damages were caused, including cracks on the doors, and destruction of property.
The owner of the hotel also mentioned to the crowd that his guest, Bobi Wine, did not enter the hotel with any gun. The search party simply took some of his money found in the luggage with them. The SFC soldiers also apparently stole some laptops, phones, and money from other customers as they searched.
Some of the damages
Luigi Candia further told our sources that many guests have abandoned the hotel, and rarely visit it anymore. This has led to great reduction in incomes, that he used to get previously.
In the same scuffle, the driver to the MP was shot dead in his car, as he waited to drive his boss back to the city. The MP was charged with possession of fire arms and ammunition, and has was remanded to Makindye Military Military prison later this month.
President Museveni has finally spoken about the status of Bobi Wine, the member of parliament that was arrested in Arua last week. He refers to the various media reports as Fake News. He says The singer/ MP has no head, chest, or bone injuries. Reads Below
PRESIDENT’S STATEMENT ON BOBI WINE
Countrymen, Countrywomen and especially, the Bazukulu.
Greetings. Some days have gone by while what President Trump calls “fake news” generators, especially the Monitor and their TV, the NTV, have been putting it out that our grandson, the indisciplined Bobi Wine, is gravelly ill, he cannot talk etc.
They were putting it out that because of their “rough” handling of the MPs while arresting them, the Security forces could have done grievous damage to Bobi Wine.
I decided to check with Army doctors because, being a disciplined Army, UPDF doctors always take precautions in such situations. Bobi Wine had already been seen by doctors in Arua, Gulu and Kampala. He has no head or chest injuries or bone fractures, they informed me.
The fake news generators and even some of the elements of the Security forces are concentrating on the stoning of the President’s car. Please, that is not the most serious problem here. That President has the capacity, either alone or in company with his personal security, to defend himself, not only against stone throwers but against any attacker.
I have done that for the last 48 years. I defended myself against Amin’s soldiers on the 22nd of January, 1973, in Mbale, against the Kenyan policeman Patrick Shaw in Nairobi in 1978, against Tabuley near Atiriri in 2003 etc etc.
The biggest problem is political leaders like Kassiano Wadri and Bobi Wine forming, or allowing indisciplined groups to be formed under the cover of elections, groups that form illegal processions in built-up and heavily populated areas, carrying stones, up-rooting side walk pavers to use as missiles, to attack defenceless women, children and other civilians.
So many women and children were similarly attacked in Jinja East, Bugiri Municipality and, now, Arua Municipality. The Police will produce detailed evidence in all those incidents. Women were raped in Jinja East and Arua Municipality. Verbal threats followed by actual attacks. This is what is called terrorism in my opinion.
All this is aimed at intimidating the majority NRM voters from turning up to vote so that the minority can win. This is on top of importing voters from other areas to vote in Jinja East, Bugiri Municipality, Arua Municipality etc. The evidence is overwhelming and it will be produced in court.
During the General Elections, it is not feasible for the opposition to use too much of these fascist tactics because voting is taking place everywhere and they are too few.
In Kampala, however, they have been doing it for a long time. Indeed, in Arua, Jinja East and Bugiri Municipality, they succeeded because the majority feared to turn up for voting. In Arua Municipality only 16,000 people out of 46,000 people turned out to vote!!
What does this mean for the pseudo-democrats of the so called “Civil Societies”, by which they mean agents of foreign Governments? How can you call this democracy when People fear to turn out to vote?
We fought for the freedom of the people of Uganda to vote freely without threats by word or action. We shall defend that. We recently had LCI and Women Council elections per village in 54,713 villages out of the total of 60,774 villages in the whole of Uganda, by lining up behind candidates.
No cheating, no violence because the People were in charge, not the corrupt election officials, colluding with opportunistic and corrupt politicians to usurp the authority of the People by having individuals elected by cheating or intimidation against the wishes of the People.
Pseudo-democrats, be informed that the game of trying to hijack our democracy by fascists and foreign agents is over. We shall not tolerate any threats by words or by actions. Enough is enough. Media houses should also stand warned. Do your mandate: balanced reporting.
These last points:
One. Throwing of stones, in close proximity in built up areas, is intention to kill. Remember, a policeman by the names of Ariong John Michael (Assistant Inspector of Police) was killed in Kampala near the Old Taxi Park by a stone thrown by those indisciplined people. How about the NRM supporters, ordinary people, who are made targets of those stones as happened in Arua, Bugiri etc?
Barbie Kyagulanyi has been concerned about her Husband’s health
Two. The indiscipline of some of these Opposition MPs was displayed in Parliament during the Age Limit debate. Instead, of arguments and logic, they attacked other MPs, threw chairs, up-rooted microphones etc. This was in Parliament with cameras and everybody watching. How about the negative results when they transfer that indiscipline to the streets and built up areas?
Three. Apart from the many injured, the property destroyed, the failure of 70% of the electorate in Arua turning up to vote because of fear of violence, the raping of women in Jinja East and Arua, we have already lost two young people, killed, in Bugiri and Arua, in the violence. The precipitaters of this will not be allowed anymore latitude of damage.
Anybody who is a friend of the young politicians like Bobi Wine should advise them that short cuts like cheating, importing voters, intimidating the voters of the other side, ballot stuffing etc will lead them and Uganda to doom. That is what the young politicians of independence thought and did and it led to disaster.
Even some of the NRM young politicians, I hear, try to emulate those evil practices of cheating. However, for them, they do not use violence. I will uproot those evils. A revolutionary politician is like a mulokole- no cheating, no lying. No killing prisoners. No mistreatment of prisoners. That is how we succeeded.
Yoweri Kaguta Museveni
President.
PS: Hon Zaake escaped from police custody. The police are looking for him.
Following his arrest, Kyadondo East Member of Parliament, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine, has not been released to the public. His wife Barbie Kyagulanyi, Lawyer and Erias Lukwago were however given the opportunity to speak with the detained People Power president. They were told that the singer was beaten with iron bars,mistreated, and faces internal bleeding. There are also reports indicating that his kidneys are damaged, and this may require him to get better medical attention.His Lawyers have however come out to request for his health.
Bobi Wine has fought for the people
Our sources report that a letter issued by Lukwago and Company Advocates, the lawyers currently representing the politician/singer, mention that he needs quick medical attention. They have petitioned the Human Rights Commission to intervene in the case and requested for Bobi to get better medical attention, in a letter issued last week.
“…….We note with great concern that the commission declined to issue any directive or order in regard to the management of Hon Kyagulanyi’s health, particularly access to a personal physician as provided for under the constitution…..” it read
“…..in the premises, we seek for your indulgence to once again make quick intervention by invoking your powers under article 53 of the Constitution and order that Robert Kyagulanyi be immediately transferred to a medical facility of his choice for specialized management of his life, ” they said
The news about Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine has spread far and wide, and International Media houses such as Aljazeera and BBC have got a glimpse of it. This is evident from the headlines they have shared, and news reported concerning the well-being of the MP.
All this started when the singer/ politician was arrested, and detained during the scuffle in Arua, over the Municipality MP seat. There were charges thrown at him including illegal possession of weapons, treason and others. Bobi Wine was denied access to his family, and this raised eyebrows, giving birth to the Free Bobi Wine campaign.
Keep following the story

The News networks described Bobi Wine’s rise into politics, and the birth of #PoeplePower.
The entire world is standing strong to free the Ghetto President
It is a few hours now, and the people of Uganda are still unaware of the location of Bobi Wine. The singer, who is also a member of Parliament for Kyadondo East, went missing after police nabbed him during riots in Arua. His presence there, at this time in particular, is justified by the fact that the “Situka” singer went to support fellow independent candidate,Wadri, in his final campaign for the Arua Municipality MP seat.
Robert Kyagulanyi, aka Bobi Wine was charged with counts of treason, and possession of arms and drugs. This was after a scuffle in the capital city of West Nile, which left the Presidents car stoned, and one person killed. Many have not heard from the singer, and are demanding for his immediate released. They have mentioned that there is nothing serious, that links this man with the military.

Various artists, celebrities and socialites have taken up the Free Bobi Wine Campaign, to get him released back to the public and his wife. From various sources, we have also learnt that DJs have decided to play his songs every 15 minutes at the top of the hour as a form of social protest. This is in solidarity with the entire entertainment industry. We still hope that the singer will be released a ssoon as possible.
Lawyers of Kyadondo East MP, Robert Kyagulanyi, popularly known as Bobi Wine, have said their client was tortured so badly to the extent that he can hardly walk without support or talk.

The team that went to meet Bobi WINE did not manage to see him
“Hon. Bobi Wine is badly brutalised, he could not understand the proceedings in the court martial, he couldn’t speak, he couldn’t see, I doubt he could even hear. He has 2 wounds 1 on the left ear, and the other one on the back of his head. He can’t stand, he can’t sit. I think the situation is bad he needs prayers. He has been remanded to Makindye military barracks” said Hon Medard Lubega Sseggona, Busiro MP, and part of Bobi legal team on an interview with NBS.
The said MP was to appear in Gulu Court for trial, but the team in his defence waited in vain. Until now, the family of the celebrated people power head has also not been let to see him. Lets pray for our MP
Following the strike against Social Media Tax on the streets of Kampala., Member of parliament, Bobi Wine’s brother has been arrested. Fred Nyanzi Ssentamu, was sent to prison over charges of unlawful assembly.
Bobi, aka Robert Kyagulanyi escaped as the police struggled to arrest some of the protesters who participated in the match from downtown Kampala. The former Kamwokya LC1 Chairman was denied bail and our sources report that he will jailed for over one year.
The Bobi Wine led protests
“Have you understood the charges? Do you accept or deny them?” asked the magistrate. Nyanzi and the two colleagues he was arrested with, denied the fact that they were guilty.
They may also be charged with inciting violence. Let us wish him luck.
The number of people fighting this Social media tax has grown over the weeks. Last week, singer/ parliamentarian, Bobi Wine took to the streets his disgruntlement with this tax. Together with a bunch of rioters, real names Robert Kyagulanyi, on the streets of Kampala, towards parliament, dressed in red attires.
As the anti riot police arrived at the scene, this MP had already escaped in the crowd, and found his way to parliament. This was thanks to a man who offered him his Jacked and cap.
“Am told The police is looking for me. Am here at parliament, come and get me,” Bobi Wine mocked on his twitter.
A real risk taker. Bobi Wine escapes during the protest
The singer is now looking for the man that aided his escape.
“To the brother I met in town (Kiyembe) and donated to me his Jacket and cap so I could find my way to parliament disguised, I salute you. I am looking for you”. He recently posted.
This tax must go!
The riot had a list of other fellow singers, like Dr Hilderman, A Pass and journalists, Raymond Mujuni and Joel Senyonyi.
Bryan White is back to his occupation; seeking attention, after a couple of weeks off the scene.
White is claiming he is responsible for Bobi Wine’s rise, or he contributed greatly to it.
“I gave Bobi his first gig in Masaka. When people see me helping musicians, they think, I am new to this,” he told the press during a briefing recently.
Bryan has been criticised for tying on musicians to steal part of their shine, something he cringes to hear
Bobi wine recently released the video to his newest hit “kyarenga”
The video runs on a concept of the society where true love and money look into each other eyes to compete for the love of a village girl. In the love story, the poor lad (Bobi Wine) wins the heart of a beautiful girl over the rich dude ( Patriko Mujuuko).
The video that was directed by videographer Kim XP also features famous comedian Patrick “Salvador” Idringi.

“We are on course towards making Kyandondo East a model constituency! Today we received our constituency grader. We purchased it from the funds collected by Kasangati Town Council as property tax together with an offer from the patriotic LC1 Chairpersons of all the 50 villages in Kyadondo who sacrificed immensely towards this cause. I can now authoritatively say that even if we cannot afford tamarc yet, no single road shall remain with a pothole.
We in Kyadondo East Constituency are able to get things done even without the government hand because leaders work together no matter their political shades, we believe our constituency is bigger than our political alignments.”
There is one thing to be musicians, another to be competitors, and the last, to be friends.

Happy birthday again” #Legend #Champion #AtakoggaAtagejja
Among all the singers that have performed in the West Nile region, I would say this has been the most awaited. Since last year, many expressed their interest in the visit of singer/ Bobi Wine on the stages in Adjumani. He finally landed on Women’s Day and the venue was entirely full.
From a warm welcome on the streets to a long and musical night. There has been two major weaknesses with artists performing in the West Nile Region of Uganda. One is that they re do only songs that do not appeal to the crowd. The crowds are many, but constantly remain dull, regardless of the artist’s efforts. Secondly, they hit the stage late night, and a perform limited number of hits.
Robert Kyagulanyi hit the streets waving the flag of his country
The people wanted and loved Bobi Wine’s sty;e. He did a mashup of all his songs, from the years he started music. “Kamwokya” was one of the hits that stirred up the crowd. The people screamed and sang along with him through the entire chorus. Following the ban of his music from radio stations, Robert Kyagulanyi has been doing tours around the country.
Bobi Wine arrived in Adjumani Town for a great performance
Currently, he has concentrated in creating music that fights for freedom and a better government. This is the channel he has used to drive his political career. Bobi Wine melted the stage with other songs such as Abalungi balumya, Aidah,Mukama Yampa etc.
If there is someone we have all missed then it has got to be singer/ Member of Parliament, Bobi Wine. He has been out of the country meeting Ugandans in Diaspora. The honorable stepped into Uganda, via Entebbe Airport, a few days back. He walked with his wife Barbie by his side.
Bobi Wine sharing with Poeple about Diaspora
Bobi Wine, real names, Robert Kyagulanyi, is famous in the country because of his political belief. He has on several occasions used music to communicate his view on the state of affairs in the country. He is a leader that appeals to not only the youth of the country, but the entire Ghetto community. Robert took his views to another level, when he enrolled for a leadership course at Havard University Keneddy School of Government. With several students shared his view on governance.
He stepped in with his wife Barbie by his side
BOBI WINE IN CARLIFORNIA
On Bobi Wine’s trip to Carlifornia, he shared ideas with different Ugandans abroad on the political, social and economic situation of our country. He posted his gratitude on his Facebook page, to all those that embraced his presence.
“Thank you Carlifornia, it was great catching up with fellow artists and the entire Ugandan community and well wishers in Los Angeles.”
Its a happy year for Robert Kyagulanyi and his family. First, his son Solomon, scores a first grade in Primary Living Examinations, and now his brother, graduates. Bobi Wine was filled with a lot of happiness, and joy, he decided to celebrate with his fans on his Social Media.
“When our mother died in a car accident back in 1997, our last born brother was one year old. God has indeed been faithful. 20 years later, my baby brother graduating with a BBA. Congratulations #DaxVibes upon your win. You continue to rub away our tears and raise our hopes. We are so proud of you. WEBALE BUTANSWAAZA MUGANDA WANGE/ MWANA WANGE”
Bobi Wine alongside his little brother who has just made him proud after graduating with a BBA
The little boy graduated with a Bachelors in Business Administration and made Bobi Wine proud. It was at Makerere University, one of the best and most sounding in the whole of East Africa. The above University released about 14000 students at it’s Freedom Square,this year in it’s 68th ceremony which started on Tuesday, and will be ending tomorrow.
It looks like they indeed come from a family of winners. Congratulations to you Dax Vibes, and to Bobi Wine for being a wonderful leader and role model to the family.
2017 has been a great year, and many celebrities have stayed on top of news tabloids. Here is the list of all those that dominated our wolokoso this year.
Zari Hassan.
Zari the boss lady has gone through alot this year, and we hope 2018 will be a peaceful one for her. From the death of her ex husband and father of her children, to that of her beloved mother. She then had baby mama drama with her husband Diamond Platinumz and a successful Ciroc all white party. She thus had the highest media coverage this year.
Zari the boss lady
Eddy Kenzo
Eddy Kenzo did not shut up after winning an award at the BETs. Even the participation of the Ghetto kids at the award this year, had the tabloids still mention his name. His song Jubilation also consumed the entire country, and stopped him awards, some at AFRIMA2017. This also followed by some rumors about the drama between him and his wife.
Eddy Kenzo
Bobi Wine
The ability to hold two personalities at the same time, one as an MP and the other as an entertainer has made Robert Kyagulanyi a major headline this year. Besides his music, his political ideology surprised many of his fans, and the major support he had from the Ghetto scared his enemies. His children also got a few gigs here and there that got the tabloids writing about him over and over again.
Bobi Wine
Douglas Lwanga
Believe it or not, Douglas has had a great year. His purple party is first of all a he add liner that many wait for. This yet he had amazing news from Yuppyz Clothing, to God Father EAST Africa, and finallu, the awards that he scooped. The NTV presenter has had some media time this year.
Douglas Lwanga
Ykee Benda
There is a way this Kireka Boy just produces hits that whisk the girls away. His former hits are still favourites at many clubs, and he went on to please his fans with more and more music. Ykee Benda also made a wonderful performance at the Coke Studio that had alot of people on the media talking.
Abiriga, Bobi wine and so much more…2017 has been a great year for those that have gained from it and well others haven’t. However there are some that have made.news above others here is a list.
Abiriga.
This guy is no stranger to the headlines this year from his all yellow ensemble to doing “susu” in Kampala central in broad day light.
Abiriga was little known unto he got beaten up in the corridor of the August house.
Hi allegiance to the NRM party color by wearing yellow all day everyday and then his inability to hold hold back urine even at the MoF gate.
There is so much to say about this one but lets leave space for others.
Hon. Kyagulanyi AKA Bobi Wine
He won the parliamentary seat for Kyadondo East and hit the ground running. Well, the parliament could not got to the ghetto so he brought the ghetto to the parliament.
and he brought it ghetto style by beating the living daylights out of security operatives brought in to get opposition parliamentarians out.
Hon Raphael Magezi
His this is the MP who thinks Mzeyi still has stamina and wanted to prove it by making it official. He tabled a motion to remove presidential age limit since his candidate is packing on the Numbers.
People have shed blood and sweat and returned millions of shillings and had grenades thrown at their houses for this. let us see what 2018 holds.
We heard from our sources one time, that Solomon Kampala, the son to Bobi Wine wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps. He had expressed interest in joining the music industry, but wanted to put books and education before anything. Indeed Solomon, has an amazing voice and will do great in the Music industry.
A video of him singing to his father’s song, Superwoman, where he refers her mother to this, has surfaced.
Let’s show you the future of Ugandan music. His name is Solomon Kampala. Hon @HEBobiwine son. On top of being a very bright boy you should listen to his voice too. Let’s salute the mum Barbie for a job well done.
We can hear his beautiful voice, and see his confidence and audibility in music. Indeed his mother should be proud for raising him.
MUSICAL BACKGROUND
Solomon’s Father, Robert Kyagulanyi, aka Bobi Wine is also popular artiste in the country. His music started way back when he was living in the slums of Uganda. He founded the Ghetto empire, and empowered many youth to get empowered through the music industry, hence his title as Ghetto president.
Bobi Wine’s music projects and displays the problems of society. Majority of his songs also talk about the state of the life people are living in, or go through on a day to day basis. Some of his hits include Kiwani, Abalungi balumya, Kikomando, Specioza, Freedom, and many others. He is not shy about where he comes from because he knows that his final point will be different. His videos also show the state of the Ghetto society.
Solomon’s father
Bobi Wine’s song Super Woman, that Solomon was recorded singing to, was made featuring Nubian.
Bobi Wine encourages his children to express their talents and be who they want to be. This explains why Solomon loves his music. Good luck in your music Solomon. We are behind you with all the support.
Musician/ Member of Parliament, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine is one man who always advocates for the massess. He is for the people, and always fighting for freedom. He has made his views known to the public, about the current Slave Trade in Lybia.
On his Facebook he posted;
***MODERN DAY SLAVE TRADE*** I am appalled at the reports of modern day slave trade, happening in 2017 on the African continent. Men, women and children are auctioned like cows and goats in Libyan markets. We all thought this ended with our forefathers from the 16th century to the 19th century when it was abolished.
HUMANITY SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF ITSELF!
The most sickening thing about this is the silence of this world about such a thing. You and I cannot pretend that this is not happening. Media houses are silent. The Africa Union and other regional bodies are speaking in low tones.
Slaves
This shocking reality, disgusting as it is should not be downplayed. World- RISE UP, SPEAK UP, ACT. Together let us condemn those heartless beasts who profit from human slavery.
Friends, there is another angle to this. These people who are being sold, tortured and killed are young Africans who see Libya as a route to Europe looking for a better life. Africa is a beautiful place with enormous enormous potential. Endowed with great natural and human resource. Sadly, most of this is not optimally utilised, with most countries being mismanaged by our leaders. We must rethink how to create jobs for our people and make continent attractive to all citizens. There is no reason why the African should be subjected to so much indignity looking for a better life in Europe.
We must also remember that this is happening in Libya because of the failure of the state and gross insecurity in that country. We all remember how Libya got there. Leaders should always be very reflective of what country they would want to leave behind and work towards that. When a leader waits to be forcefully kicked out of power, it is not only him, his family, and cronies who get into trouble, but many times the consequences are even worse for their countries and people. #Freedom
Bobi Wine has been living two lives for the past months since he became the Member of Parliament for Kyadondo East. He is Robert Kyagulanyi, the fearless, straight to the point politician,and Bobi Wine, the talented, and much loved music artiste.
Bobi Wine
There have been claims that the two personalities are getting mixed up, hence calling for a ban on Bobi Wine’s music performances, and media interviews.
The Togikwatako crowd
Bobi Wine / Robert Kyagulanyi is not giving up. He is not threatened by anything, and has just now shown the world that both his personalities can coexist.
The musician in him has released a song, “Freedom” and the politician has written the lyrics that describe the current rule in Uganda.
The Togikwatako Master, sings about our fight for Freedom, and the chorus counts the. districts of Uganda to join the fight for freedom;
We are fighting for freedom; Kampala mukono Mbale Jinja
We are fighting for freedom; Kabale Rukungiri Mbarara Kasese
We are fighting for freedom; soroti kit arua lira gulu
We are fighting for freedom; Wakiso masaka mubende mityana
The rhythm in the song, and the lyrics are top notch. It also goes on to discuss how the oppression is worse than apartheid, and Uganda is moving backwards. Download this song whereva you are.
Barbie Kyagulanyi, wife to Kyadondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi has confessed to doing most of her shopping in Owino Market.
Unlike what many may perceive as a life of luxury where she doesn’t go even close to down town, barbie says even back then, her and fellow slay queens of those days braved the morning rain and mud to scuffle for mivumba.
Barbie took to Facebook to make the confession adding that it put her in trouble with her “high class” friends for letting out the secret.
She says that even to this day,she still occasionally goes to Owino to get some cute clothing.
But are we surprised? Barbie has remained one of the most down to earth celebrities we know to-date.
Members of Parliament were given money, in order to buy their support for the pro removal of age limit campaign.
The money given to the MPS was to help them in consultations about the age limit bill, in their different constituencies. This Constitution Ammendment Bill is in line with removal of the presidential age limit, which is currently from 35 to 75, hence allowing life presidency.
Six opposition Members of Parliament had initially rejected this money, calling it dirty, and recently, more and more are joining.
MPS returning what they called dirty money
If you thought it was not possible for anyone in their rightful senses to reject a sum of twenty nine million Uganda Shillings, we have evidence from Hon Robert Kyagulanyi.
The letter to the bank
While other Members of parliament took the money in cash to the Finance Officer. Bobi Wine/ Robert Kyagulanyi sent a letter back to his bank, rejecting the money, a sum of 29,000,000, before heading of to consult his people on the bill.
Bobi Wine’s people
He then proceeded to his people, dressed in a red togikwatako uniform, and addressed them on this removal.
Besides Bobi Wine, other opposition legislators have also refused to be part of the move to support this bill.
We all saw this coming, but not this soon. Member of Parliament, Hon, Robert Kyagulanyi, who is a proud opposition, and not shy to express his views, is being punished because of scratching the leopards back.
Him and the president have been having a letter writing competition, that received comments from Ugandans all over the country. The Musician is very determined to use music and arts to fight for the rights of his people. In addition to this, his concerts always draw crowds of Ugandans, large enough to fill two football stadiums.
One love Beach concert
Recently, he held a concert at “One love Beach”, Busabala, and the police claim that he uttered “incitful language”. Word coming in is that Bobi Wine turned the Music show into a political rally. He was thus banned from performing at music concerts.
Bobi Wine banned from concerts
All this came right before the Singer/ MP went to his concert in Mukono. It was set for 21st October but stopped by the Kampala Metropolitan Police Commander, Frank Mwesigwa. He was then asked to go to Kibuli Police to address the claims. Here are some of the answers Bobi Wine has.
Letter summoning Bobi WIne
“Returning to the illegal and unconstitutional ban of my music concerts, this too is a sign of a regime on its knees. Throughout history, when dictatorships realize that the people have resoundingly rejected them, they resort to all forms of unreasonable and autocratic laws to silence dissent. So far they have cancelled three of my shows one in Kasese, another in Kamuli and now in Mukono. For the past two shows we had obtained all the clearances, only to be told on last minute that I would not be allowed to perform in the fear that I would utter some ‘political statements’! “
Some of the crowds Bobi Wine draws
“I have said this to them in private and I repeat it in public- I Kyagulanyi Ssentamu – Bobi Wine, shall never sell my soul to the devil. I shall never use my voice to sing for a dictatorship that is running our country to hell. I shall never sing to console the enemies of the people. I shall never use my voice to betray my country. And yes, I shall always sing about the plight of our people. Their voice shall be my voice. I shall always sing for a better Uganda, because friends, this is the only home we have- whatever is still left of it, we are Ugandans”
Guess we will just have to wait to watch him perform live again.
Its throwback Thursday and we are looking back at the Ugandan songs that grew us. Where were you?
Kipepeo by Jose Chameleone
This song is a true classic many of us did our ‘creative dances’ in primary school to this one.
Eno mic by Ziggy Dee
This song got many of us beaten for singing it. Nonetheless we gyrated and still sang aloud.
Omwana Wabandi by Bobi Wine
None other than the good old days of the honorable himself. This song reintroduced the era of Calypso to the Ugandan music scene. Never forget.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=inolGsqwuVo
Nabikoowa by Juliana Kanyomozi
Nothing beats this throwback from the youthful queen of Ugandan Music. Nabikoowa was an anthem for broken hearts countrywide so why not bring it back.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpNdvxdyWC0
All i wanna know by klear kut feat Julianna
You can not claim to know hip hop in Uganda if you don’t know this song by klear kut. This was an anthem for the ‘rich kids’ in kabojja and Aga khan where Navio went to school and also features a young ‘the mith’ and Shanice Kacungira as a video vixen. Its one to watch.
So, after Museveni wrote a letter to Bobi Wine, and got his reply, the news has calmed down a little. Now, Andrew Mwenda, owner of the Independent newspaper, a journalist who came into popularity due to his show, ”Andrew Mwenda Live’, due to the strong political views has analysed one of Kyagulanyi’s letters. Here are some of the things he said. Read below;
So Bobi Wine issued a “letter to Young Ugandans” in which he claims that colonialism marked Uganda’s golden age. This is the problem with President Yoweri Museveni’s critics – always ignorant and emotional and their arguments always lack substance in both matter and manner.
I really don’t want to defend Museveni because I personally disagree with him on many issues.
I will address Museveni’s deficiencies another day.
Bobi wine and his crowds
The real danger to Uganda today is not Museveni but an extremist and fanatical wing of the opposition led by FDC cult leader and opposition presidential candidate for life, Kizza Besigye, and lately joined by Bobi Wine. These are emotional desperadoes without any clue of where Uganda has come from, where it is and where it should go.
Let us address Bobi Wine’s hare brained uninformed assertions. He claims that colonialism left behind a well functioning education. In 1961, only 343 students were unrolled in S5 and S6 in a country of 7m people. If such a rate was maintained Uganda today would have 2,225 students in A Level. We have 235,000. And he claims colonialism was the golden age of Uganda.
Bobi Wine also claims colonialism left behind great infrastructure. In 1960, Uganda had only 268km of tarmac after 72 years of colonial rule. The short lived DP government led by Kiwanuka added 210km in one year. Obote added 1,000km in eight years 1962-71. In spite of his government incompetence and corruption, Museveni has in the last i years added 4000km of tarmac. So what is this Bobi Wine really talking about?
This “leader” of the youth of Uganda even claims that under colonial rule a child in a rural primary school would fairly compete with one in the city. But there were no schools in rural areas under colonial rule. If he meant in towns outside of kampala, he should check the 2016 PLE results. The ten best performing districts or towns in order of their performance were: Fort Portal, Entebbe, Ntungamo, Rukungiri, Jinja, Kabale, Masaka, Mbarara, Lira and Masindi. Many of these are far away from Kampala, a city that is not one of them.
Many Ugandan elites are lazy. They don’t want to read and know about their country. They prefer to sit in their homes and imagine things and then hope that such imagination is reality. In the modern age of science, it is sad that those who want to replace Museveni think that they can rely on hallucinations to inform public policy. Our country deserves better. Bobi Wine may be a good singer and dancer. But his “letter to young Ugandans” shows that he lacks the basic competences to even manage a village.
The Uganda Entertainment Awards Gospel Artiste of the year, Levixone is doing something that will please God to the maximum.
Gospel artiste Levixone
From his big heart, he has arranged for a charity event . The gospel artiste has seen a need to help the less privileged, and chosen the people of Karamoja. According to our various sources, this is not the only charitable event that the artiste holds. Apparently, he is also running a “Back to School” and “Feed Kosovo”
This 14th of October, he holds yet another concert. #Levixonefor Karamoja, together with Kyadondo East Member of Parliament, Bobi Wine. This could be the biggest gospel show of the year, and it is this Saturday.
Bobi and Levixone
He posted on Facebook;
“Blessing the Lord for what I am and it’s my time to extend my love to Karamoja and build a testimony. Let’s join hands my good family and fans and build a school in Karamoja. #living2serve #14thofOctober #Levixone4Karamoja #Kosovopresident #TWEDESASA”
Do not miss the concert
This music artiste is known for songs such as; Esaala, Noony’omu, and many other amazing gospel hits. The event is at the Uganda Museum this Saturday, at 3pm. The entrance fee is 20k for ordinary and 50k for VIP.
If you think you could be the only on going for this event, think again. Even Apass will be there, and he posted earlier on asking all of you to come. So let us join hands and support Levixone make a change in Karamoja.
He is a politician and a musician but still has enough time for his family. We all know that earlier this month, Hon Robert Kyagulanyi and Barbie Itungo’s daughter Shalom turned 9.
Bobi and his girls
Well these amazing parents could not let it go unnoticed. They both wrote a wonderful Facebook post for their baby. Bobi Wine penned down;
Happy Birthday my dearest Shalom Namagembe. It’s 9 years since you came into my life but it feels like only yesterday. I pray that the good Lord protects you from all evil as you grow. Much love from Mom. Dad and all your siblings.
Selfie time
Barbie also wrote;
Namagembe my love; what better day to celebrate you other than the 4th of October this year? You are alive to see your 9th birthday today! Happy birthday our Shalom. We bless God for your presence in our lives.
party time
Barbie also added another post on top of the one she wrote on her birthday.
Lives worth celebrating. Happy belated birthdays Ssubi and Shalom. May you live full lives. We had a fun day today.
The family then threw for their girls a lovely birthday party on Sunday, and shared more than enough love. Happy belated birthday again, girls. Enjoy the amazing photographs from the party.
Bobi Wine is being squeezed from all corners of the earth. After his patriotic videos that were released to the country, His challenging speeches and Facebook posts, and the defense he gave in Parliament with a red hair band tied to his head, it looks like he is being hunted down.
First he was arrested, then grenades thrown on his compound, and later on at his children’s bedrooms. Honorable Robert Kyagulanyi has also been arrested countless times ever since he became a member of parliament.
Word coming in is that the home and office of his public Relation’s manager, Ms. Anne Whitehead was to be searched. Apparently the Police and the Immigration office wanted to look through so as to investigate the presence of money links and review her financial statements.
Bobi and PR manager
Ms. Anne Whitehead has been at the back of the MP from the time he was ghetto based and still a music artiste
When the musician/ MP wrote a response to president Museveni this year, there were rumors that Ms Anne Whitehead could have had a hand in it. However, the lady denied the claims and allegations.
The search was to take place yesterday afternoon, at both her residence and company, Whitehead Communications. We are still wondering whether it could be a way of discovering whether she is a financial sponsor to Bobi Wine.
Bobi Wine in Mubende
However, later on in the night, the news that came indicated that the immigration officer who has ordered for the search did not show up. When called, his phone was also not answered. Let us wait for the story to unfold.
It has been a sad few days at the home of the Kyagulanyis but all that is bound to change.
The family
4th October is a day of celebration. We all know that the family has four children, Shalom, Shadrack, Solomon and Suubi and today, Shalom, one of their daughters, and the oldest of the girls turns nine years old. Daddy’s little girl is growing very fast, and will soon be a young woman. On her 8th Birthday last year, her father posted;
Daddy Daughter time
Happy 8th birthday dear Shalom Namagembe Nalunkuuma. The female version of me and the representation of my mother. I love you beyond measure. May the Lord watch over you as you grow up into a Ugandan that we can all be proud of. Happy birthday again.”
This time, her mummy, Barbie Itungo Kyagulanyi woke up very early in the morning and posted;
“Namagembe my love; what better day to celebrate you than the 4th October this year, You are alive today to see your 9th Birthday! Happy Birthday Shalom. We bless God for your presence in our lives.”
Shalom means peace, and Namagembe is also a very wonderful big sister to the little one and last born, Ssubi.
The girls
She is very bubbly, and smiley, and loves to take a lot of videos with her father. Happy Birthday Shalom, may you live to blow a gazillion candles, and grow up to be beautiful, caring, supportive and strong like your mother.
This political game is getting dirtier and dirtier. Someone out there is targeting the opposition MPs with a motive that is not completely known by the people of Uganda. Grenades are dropping from the sky and “mysteriously appearing” on their compounds. Recently, Hon Allan Ssewanyana and Robert Kyagulanyi have been attacked.
Grenades where thrown into MP Kyagulanyi Robert’s home in Magere, which exploded, but thanks to God he told the news that nobody got hurt. The honorable also confessed to the public that he has been constantly receiving death threats from a few weeks back, that he ignored.
Bobi Wine points at shattered window
Anonymous calls targeting not only me but my family as well. I have been told that if i don’t leave that thing alone, I will just be terminated and disabled! The world is watching.
The country city has a large percentage of Ghetto and Bobi Wine is not about to be scared away so soon, because he knows the population will support him. He posted on his twitter
Nothing can stop an idea whose time has come. Well, if you kill one, perhaps a thousand more will rise up
Our sources also indicated that one grenade was thrown at their sons’ window and the other at their daughters’. This however did not please Barbie, and the mother decided to let her voice be heard. She said that they had no reason to fence their home with a wall, but maybe this is the time to do so. Barbie warned that her children must not be touched. Here is a video from NBS
The other Red Ninja Members of Parliament decided to offer support by visiting their colleague at his home, sharing a few laughs and a cup of tea. However, they were all arrested and taken to Nagalama Police station. Once again, the Members of Parliament were released and this still does not scare Honorable Kyagulanyi as he indicated.
Kyadondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi seems to have bitten of more than he could chew this time.
The former ghetto president is experiencing the highest form of intimidation with his life and family’s life being threatened by higher powers.
However posted on his Facebook page that he refuses to be cowardised.
“GRENADES have for the second time in two days been thrown at my house and exploded. Property damaged and no one hurt! But what kind of country are we now living in?”
I had decided to ignore the blasts and these threats, but it seems they are now getting real.
Let me announce to the whole world that these past days I have been receiving death threats on an almost daily basis. I have also been advised by some friends who know more than I know that I should be very careful what I eat or drink, how I drive and from where, whom I meet, even who touches me while I go to Parliament. Apparently something could be done to me during the kind of scuffle that happened when state agents invaded the Parliamentary chamber!
Reason? Opposing the removal of age limits in the Constitution! Anonymous calls targeting not only me but my family as well. I have been told that ‘if I don’t leave that thing a lone, I will just be terminated or disabled.’ These are cowardly acts which must be condemned by all people of good conscience. We are not involved in war. We are just citizens who are interested in a good country for ourselves and the generations to come. WE SHALL NOT BE INTIMIDATED. Let them know that NOTHING can stop an idea whose time has come. If you kill one me, perhaps a thousand more will rise up. The world is watching!”
The Ghetto president is not keeping quiet. Like he once said; “If the parliament does not go to the Ghetto, the ghetto will come to parliament.” Indeed he is living by it and representing. Last week, he was suspended during the scuffle in the August house, arrested and detained for a day.
Word coming in is that Capital Fm, which was supposed to host the show received phone calls from Uganda Communications Commission, directing them not to proceed. Back in the past, the radio station was also asked not to host Mr, Frank Gashumba, and now it is Robert Kyagulanyi. Bobi Wine however has a new hit out and I wonder if these interviews may be cancelled too. In a face book post, he indicated that after consulting other media houses, he found out that they too received the same order.
The team
My message to them is this;
Learn from history, but again, dictators never learn from history. White people say that history repeats itself but Eriya Kategaya said ” stupid people repeat history”, I believe Kategaya.
Whenever regimes attempt to suppress the press and keep people in darkness, they never go far. You may switch the radios off air, but you cannot switch off the resolve of the people to protect and defend the Constitution and to better their country. You can switch off some microphones- but the people shall soon speak- loud and clear.
Let me also ask, what reason do they give for this directive? On what law is it based? If it is because of last week’s events at Parliament, how are they related to what we say in the media? Is Mr. Mutabazi now the Speaker of Parliament outside Parliament???
Let me remind him that Ugandans are watching. All state institutions are better off not being part of this crime- the rape of the Constitution.
I call upon all TVs, Radio Stations and the print media to ignore this illegal directive. Article 29(1) (a) of the Constitution of Uganda states that ‘every person shall have the right to freedom of speech and expression which shall include freedom of the press and other media.’ The highest Court in this country has also stated that “the right to freedom of expression extends to holding, receiving and imparting all forms of opinions, ideas and information.
Everyone is free to express his or her views. Indeed, the protection is most relevant and required when a person’s views are opposed or objected to by any part of Society.”
Perhaps the reason why they used phone-calls is because they know what they are doing is illegal and not tenable in the 21st century.
I know that this Constitution means nothing to them, but it is important to tell our friends in the media fraternity that the directive is not only illegal and unconstitutional, but also immoral. As Martin Luther King jr. said, “One has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.” The media should, and must ignore it. Be on the right side of history, comrades! As these past events have showed, you are either with the dictatorship or with the people! The people’s side shall win.
Throughout history, dictators target the media because it is the vehicle through which citizens get to hear the truth. But as they say lies are no match for the truth. We should not fear those who fear the truth. The truth is one and the same- Uganda shall be free. This cause shall not be silenced. It shall not be limited by narrow laws and directives.
We shall reach our people! The message must go out. We are the country, we are the future and the future is today. Eno ye ssawa!
They should also remember that we are in this age of social media. The world is more connected than before. Tell your friend to tell their friend that I shall still communicate to the world through facebook, twitter, and our website. If they stop us from going to radio, we shall send out voice notes on whatsapp. No matter what happens, we shall speak- because we speak for the people. And the voice of the people is the voice of God.
Bobi Wine however went to shut down Media houses in Mubende, over the weekend. He was surrounded by a large crowd of people as he made his way through.
Bobi Wine in Mubende
He posted;
When you’re barred from all the media stations and suspended from parliament but Mubende people have something different to say.
Rubaga South MP Kato Lubwama and former comedian said in an interview yesterday that Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine acts like a primary one kid and is not qualified to be in parliament.
This comes on the heels of the recent exchange of blows that happened at the chambers.
Bobi Wine is one of the parliamentarians that are championing against amendment of the constitution on Age Limit.
This lead to his suspension from parliamentary proceedings for 3 seatings.
Last week was full of drama, demonstrations, anger, and a variety of things. Evidence that this country does not sleep. Let the photos tell the story, all the moments were captured in pictures. The great photography is much appreciated..
Hon Betty Nambooze attempts to remove MP Abiriga’s cap on live TV. On Thursday, Betty Nambooze, Mukono municipality MP walked passed Abiriga and slightly lifted his cap as he was being interviewed by NTV Uganda. She then stomped away hurriedly into parliament in her red track suit, which she wore under the demonstration; :If the constitution can be changed, even she can change her dress code”.
Hon Betty Nambooze in action
Makerere students strike over age-limit. There is always that one University that stands for the rights of the population. The University, last week, showed their contribution to the anti-age limit bill, and got entangled in a tear gas and bullet dance with the nation’s police.
The fight
Super journalist. This NTV reporter threw down his camera to help a woman who had collapsed due to tear gas in the demonstration over age limit at Makerere University.

Song of Victory. The Members of Parliament celebrate their amazing win after the presidential age limit Bill was denied. They tied up their heads like Ninjas and sang together in celebration. Thank you for the major fight.
This week, two of the country’s presidents were out of the country. The Ghetto president and the Nation’s president. One was in the same room with ex-President Barrack Obama and the other with President Donald Trump.
Today, H.E/Hon Kyagulanyi (Bobi Wine) returned from the US, only to find the country and his youth still recovering from the shock of yesterday’s demonstrations and heavy tear gas. There was a little confusion at the National airport today, as the MP and his team were rounded up and the main man arrested. Apparently, there was a rumor that the police required him to make a statement about a piece of information that he had let out to the public before he went for his trip abroad.
Hon Kyagulanyi returns
The police blocked the Kyadondo East MP and tried to deny him entrance to his vehicle, which prompted disagreements with Bobi Wine’s supporters.
On the contrary, Uganda police Force claim that the singer/ parliamentarian had wanted to hold an unplanned procession with a group of people, and that could have caused a stir and unwanted traffic problems, and further led to many people missing their flights. Bobi wine is currently being held at the Entebbe Airport and being asked to go to Entebbe Police Station, to discuss further with the police.
Bobi Wine’s car blocked
He was meant to have an interview on NTV The Beat today with Douglas Lwanga. We are not sure if this will take place though. Could this arrest be in relation to the video that Bobi Wine made?
