Live at the Thursday lovers’ park

The clouds are forming rather hastily just like woes in the blue corner political party. Nsubuga, Amooti and Ngobi are waiting for the beauties that made them change their hearts on joining the seminary. It’s largely clear that the girls would rather watch choti bahu than brave the nimbus clouds that threaten to splatter the ground with buckets of water. Nsubuga has been dialing Nantume’s mobile for a week in vain. She can’t even talk to him on any social media. His friends understand his distress. The debate about the same drifts them into a number of issues. SAMUEL KAMUGISHA transcribes their talk in the following excerpt;

Nsubuga: I wonder why she chose to chuck me at this time before the eclipse. She is as obdurate as Gen.Sejusa. She has changed my life just like the eclipse has turned Owinyi Primary School into The Eclipse International Primary School; she can’t even talk to me on Skype.

Amooti: You share problems with Thomas. This guy who messed up our princess, throwing the whole Tooro kingdom into caucuses more serious than those that the NRM convenes before voting on issues of public interest.

Ngobi: I’m told that some people saw this coming. That it was not good to take up a non-Mutooro. Others even say that Thomas never visited Kabarole while others say that Komuntale never okayed any visit by Thomas to this central district-that it was cordoned off just like the police barricaded some media houses in search of Sejusa’s letter. She must have cordoned off Kabarole to search for love letters from Thomas’ girls.

Nsubuga: Mbu he was seeing a nearby oil field which he’d recently discovered. Others say that the white husband was crooked-that he didn’t like taking the normal route to Kabarole.

Amooti: (shedding tears). Please try to minimize harm. Leave the princess to heal. Besides, the population is shooting high at 35.4 million. The divorce is part of family planning.
Laughter

Ngobi: That unlike the female MPs, Thomas was too poor to afford a day care centre for children.

Nsubuga: But at least they could afford a parking yard though am told a certain hardworking minister is lobbying for some space for his visionary boss’s motorcade. That he can not afford to see a divorce between the presidency and parliament.

Amooti: Can’t you leave matters of divorce? Let’s cross over.

Ngobi: You remind me of this man who crossed from FDC to NRM. That he wanted to fight HIV/AIDS.

Nsubuga: I wonder why he had forgotten that the HIV virus is scared of yellow blood as opposed to the blue one.

Amooti: Some drunkards say he had been planted in the blue corner to infect the fighters therein with the yellow virus.

Ngobi: That he is targeting more sacks of money compared to those that the visionary man in the hat gave to us in Busoga, the reason a recent report said, correctly, that poverty had reduced.

Nsubuga: That is not a lie. Even the youth fund has reduced unemployment. The youth have started businesses. Anyway, Amooti, what is the color of your blood?

Amooti: It is red. I’ll crossover and have my blood coloured yellow so I can be given sacks of mutebiles. The papers said the yellow-blooded animals had put aside coins enough to fill this park; 400billion to change all animals’ colours to the colour of the visionaries.

Ngobi: Abwooli will never reject you; Nantume will rush to Nsubuga at the fragrance of the yellow money.

Nsubuga: And Nangobi will never refuse to pick your calls; for coins change blood just like the clouds are about to change this park into a lake. Let’s not risk being swallowed by the waters.
They are disbanded by the rains
