@GODFREY_Kutesa @Uber You said it all. I stopped using Uber in Kampala after an Uber I forgot my very expensive Addidas bag in his car. 30 minutes I call and he claims he was in Nakasongola. He switched off the phone for a month. The office never helped. I lost, now it’s their turn.

Video: “As your king, I have a responsibility to treat and unite you all as my people who live on the soil of this kingdom. Regardless of whether you are a Mutooro or not, as long as you live in Tooro, you are my people. This is your kingdom, Tooro is your home, and your origin does not matter”. - Late King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV.

This is to inform all Abakurasi b’Orukurato Orukuru Orw’Ensanju that the Rukurato meeting scheduled for today, Tuesday, 1st September, has been called off and postponed until further notice. A new date will be communicated officially by the Office of the Prime Minister at the appropriate time. I am currently in Kampala engaging with Government officials and other relevant authorities to coordinate arrangements for the return and interment of His Majesty the King. At this solemn moment, there can be no greater priority for the Kingdom than bringing our King home and laying him to rest with the dignity, honour and respect befitting His Majesty. I therefore direct that all unnecessary Kingdom meetings, debates and activities that may distract from this responsibility be put aside for now. I equally call upon all the people of Tooro, our leaders and institutions to exercise restraint, avoid unnecessary disagreements and speculation, and respect the dignity of His Majesty. There will be an appropriate time to address the other matters before the Kingdom. This is not that time. For now, our responsibility is clear: Bring our King home. Honour him. Lay him to rest with dignity. Stand together as one Tooro. Everything else can wait. @ObukamaBwaTooro

Fortunately, in a telephone call, Her Royal Highness Kemigisa, told me that H.H. Oyo left a young boy heir that will be introduced to the public at the right time.   H.H. Oyo worked well with the Central Government, thereby avoiding the mistake of trying to use the Cultural Institutions that were restored by the NRM to promote sectarianism. It would be good if all the Cultural leaders understood the importance of this.   I direct that H.H. Oyo be given an official burial and, for three days, all the flags fly at half-mast. The three days are: the day of the burial, the day before and the day after. May his soul rest in eternal peace. Signed:   Yoweri K. Museveni President of the Republic of Uganda

@martinssempa @BalaamBarugahar @Sudhirntv @ObukamaBwaTooro @tooro35708 @HenryBasaliza1 @CoffeeWithJoan @MinistryTooro @NicholasMugume1 @amronaldo This is deep and so meaningful. Speaks direct to me and my kinsmen and women of Tooro.

King Oyo's Final Walk! A lament by Pastor Martin Ssempa Please help me share widely and happy for collaborative improvements. How lonely sits the kingdom once full of life! King Oyo, the lion of Tooro, has fallen. 💔 The royal diadem is gone, and the sacred Empango drums are silent. As written in Lamentations: "The crown has fallen from our head. Woe to us!" The glory of Tooro has departed! The majestic beauty of the royal line is veiled in tears. The graceful beauty of Princess Komuntale, the dignity of his mother Queen Best, and the elegance of his auntie, Princess Elizabeth Bagaya Akiiki all now weep for the House of Babito. Like the men of Jabesh-Gilead, the men of the royal house and the Prime Minister braved enemy territory, fighting a brutal Ebola quarantine to save him. Through air bans and border isolations, you got him to America. An agonizing trip there, a heartbreaking return, fasting in absolute grief. You Gen X and Millennials born in the 90s: Weep for the son of King Patrick David Matthew Kaboyo Olimi III! Lament for the grandson of Sir George David Matthew Kamurasi Rukidi III! Cry out for the great-grandson of Kasagama Kyebambe III! Do not hold back your tears. Lament the royal icon of your generation bitterly. Let the Mountains of the Moon weep! Let their glaciers release streams of tears to worthy of a royal king, Let the crater lakes gather the tears of weeping from the hills as in a glass bottle, Stop the party. Dress in black. Fly all Flags at half-mast. The King has died. Lift up your heads, O ye gates, and receive King Oyo! Open wide, you everlasting doors of the celestial city. His earthly reign is done, and the King of Kings stands waiting with open arms to welcome His faithful servant who was not ashamed to call him Lord and Savior during his life. Rest in eternal peace, King Oyo 👑🕊️ #TooroKingdom #KingOyo

A beautiful story of hos the Tooro Kingdom came to be. Well worth listening.
