- Ugandan Politicians denied VISAs into USA. The Ugandan delegation, usually 30 people, was this time reduced to only 5, as the rest were denied visas to attend the United Nations General Assembly meeting, in the USA... If Uganda is allowed only five people on an international trip, WHICH five government jobs are absolutely necessary?

William Odoch, president of the Rotary Club of Kampala Platinum, called for sustainable solutions rather than focusing on symptoms.

Nothing Serious Topic: DO UGANDANS ACTUALLY LIKE UGANDAN MUSIC?

but first, “Everybody here: give me your TOP FIVE UGANDAN SONGS RIGHT NOW/ Songs you would voluntarily play TODAY.”

On Apple Music Uganda this week, Joshua Baraka's “YoYo” is No. 1 and King Saha's “Wewe” is No. 3 — but Rema, Asake and Wizkid also sit in the Top 5. So it isn't simply “Ugandans don't listen to Ugandan music”; the reality is much messier.

- Guys… do Ugandans ACTUALLY like Ugandan music as much as we claim we do?

- Does the crowd force DJs to play Nigerian/Amapiano music, or have DJs trained the crowd to expect it?

- Are Ugandan artists making enough music specifically for nightlife? Or are we unfairly asking DJs to force songs into clubs that weren't made for that environment?

- Why does OLD Ugandan music sometimes work better in clubs than NEW Ugandan music?

- “If Ugandan DJs decided that from tomorrow 60% of every club set MUST be Ugandan music… would Kampala nightlife become BETTER or WORSE?”
