SAILING THROUGH NEW-MEDIA CANALS AND RACIAL WAVES

My youngest brother this week will make it close to 3-weeks stuck in a far-strange land in Europe where he plans to spend 2 years sharpening his mental edges in the public health discipline. I have had one too many run-ins with this chap and despite my unshakable and non-apologetic take on various issues we argued about from child-hood, I have always hidden and reserved something about him to my self…..he is the brightest amongst us (four siblings) and up to now I hate to love the fact honestly (Come on am supposed to be the smartest…I was even named Magyezi(literally translated to mean wisdom in Rukiga, a local dialect)
After completing his final year at Makerere University henceforth graduating with an undergraduate degree in Social Works and Social Administration, the chap decided never to become any man’s employee retrospectively disregarding the rest of us who traversed the streets of Kampala heavily armed with thousands of our CV copies looking for jobs.
The most amusing part of this melodrama is on the side of our aging mother in Mukono District, who has never had her last and beloved son stay far away from her and for this long. Whenever I tell her that we can talk using my skype line(gyezistep), or chat and see his pictures making his rounds and acquaintances in Denmark(with white ladies....see the pix below... Hahahaha) on face-book, she often wonders what else is left for the white-man to exploit after land,water,humans,communication and outer-space!! I always remind her that her son is always in touch with what’s hitting headlines at home at www.smsmedia.ug or www.smsmedia.wordpress.com
