Bobi Wine was hailed for dedicating his time to stand against violence and inspire young Africans across the globe to stand for what is right and work towards elevating their status in the community.

Museveni rewards NRM ‘crying’ artistes

Dancehall musician King Michael with President Museveni recently.

Musicians King Michael and Big Eye were last week given a Presidential handshake of 30 cows each by President Yoweri Museveni. Big Eye and King Michael had turned into crybabies claiming how they have been neglected by Museveni despite their unchanging devotion for the ruling party.

“I have received my 30 cows and shortly I will be moving them to my farm in Luweero,” excited King Michael said.

Recently Museveni has been so quick in gifting musicians that subscribe to his NRM party. Bebe Cool and Catherine Kusasira were gifted brand new Toyota V8 “Mpekoni” cars each.
