My Four (Major) Toon-Stories


The Wrong Train to Mombasa
Exactly 20 Days to Hell-oween, 2003: Eish (from Arua) and his Best Friend Deno travelling next to a Rastaman on the last Seat of a Uganda Railways Train from Kasese (Uganda) to Mombasa (Kenya) miraculously survive a supernatural Attack by a soul-devouring smokelike Dementor Monster named Onzi; everyone else on board dies. They jump off the doomed Train at the Victoria Nile Bridge in Jinja, but are they completely safe? How will they get to their final Destination and who can stop the one-eyed Bringer of Death? Keep on praying...

"If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, HE is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness..." - 1st JOHN 1:8-9


Arua Boys
In 2005, two Arua Hustlers - Musa Munguleni, aka "22" alongside John "Black" Draku quit Oil Smuggling from Congo after the new URA Commissioner Regina Mugisha introduces a more lethal Anti-smuggling Enforcement Unit. However, Big Leaf (Nickname because of Body Size and overeating Mairungi Leaves), their main Client whom they owe Money still wants his liquid Oil. What's the 411? HIV/AIDS is Contraband... [Watch Video Comic]

Return of Legion
Mike, a 19 year old Ugandan studying Engineering in Monterrey Institute is arrested by Federales (Mexican Police) after being spotted at a Sombrero Restaurant talking to a pretty but very mystical young Woman under Investigation. She is wanted alongside her young Brother and a Boyfriend shown to Mike in a rare Video during Interrogation by two Cops (Sergeant Vasquez and Lucia). The Story starts in medias res (Latin for "in the middle of things"), the Background Story recounted later through a Flashback. "Jesus, save us!" Based on a DreamVision seen in December 2010. Any Similarities to real-life Events like the Arrest of El Ponchis and his Sister is totally coincidental.

Kubaku
An "egg-ceptional" First Year Chick (Miss West Nile during her S6 Vac and Forster Daughter of Mr. John Au + Chi-chi) drops out of the Muni Oasis Campus in 2014 because of a condescending self-centered Sophomore Bully called Achan Busu (the Black Cat) and her rebellious, humanimal Clique comprising Oboloko (Lesbian Vixen), Galaba (Snakeman) and Ocogo (a Watcher), but not before meeting her male Alter ego in the second Week at School. 


Jaremy Oduo (Busu's Ex-Admirer) is a prudent yellow-eyed Leopardman from Vurra studying Chemistry. His Favourite Dish is boiled Matoke and Cow Offal plus Juice.


Meanwhile, Amina Kubaku(rungi) is a naturally golden-blonde-haired Quranic Muslim studying Agribusiness; she is peaceful like a Crane, superfly, brave, bulletproof, sweeter than Honey, striking like Lightning plus super-athletic like Inzikuru with Body Curves so artistic. Oduo transfers to Mbarara University but four Years later meets Kubaku again in KLA City, the Capital of UG.  


The left-handed Busu graduates to lead a notorious Gang of Robbers who ride around in Ocogo's black Van. Her Favourite Weapon is an all-white Rifle she nicknamed "The Holy Gun"; it matches her Dress and Boots. The only other Gang Member with a Firearm is Ocogo who carries a Pistol, Oboloko carries a Taser plus is ghostly while the one-legged Galaba uses his Spittle, Tail, Strength and Fangs. However, Kubaku also faces a deadlier Enemy named Pollution (Miss Fumes) from another Land who is furiously after Kubaku's new Acquaintance Thomas, the cloned electric Mutant who paralyzed her Arm. Heroes are born but Supersheroes are hatched...

Kubaku (comics) is a fictional Ugandan supershero in the AruaCartoons Debit Earth [25:14] created by Aiko. Amina Kubaku (shortened from Kubakurungi) is the graceful, blonde-haired adopted forster daughter of Hajji (John) Au and Hajjati Chi-Chi. She descended to Debit Earth on 9th October in a yellow "eggcraft sent by a vanishing Tribe on the moon", so they thought. Peaceful like a crane, she is Oduo's First Lady, mother of Ovi and half-sister to Myesha who was born on Monday 10th July 2017. Kubaku dropped out of Muni Oasis after her Best Friend named Wor was murdered following a directive by the Sophomore bully named Busu. They were both studying Agribusiness. Kubaku is super-athletic like Dorcus Inzikuru and holds the unbreakable Post-Primary Record for 100 Metres set when she was in S3 though retired from athletics...

Design, Financial Papers plus Committment

Leopard UG
A picture speaks a thousand words but a logo summarises the message! Logo Design is a compelling forte. Logos translate business concepts. The writing is on the wall, read! Creative fonts and cartoon illustrations can do the interpretation trick from A-Town to KLA City, Teso to Kigezi, Rwenzori to Moroto, Pakwach to Kayunga, Soroti to Entebbe, Vurra to Mutukula, Bunyoro to Tororo, Mbarara to Lira, Oraba to Malaba, Kabale to Mbale, Jinja to Karamoja, Sese to Kasese, plus Acholi to Kalangala Islands and Across the Line. Just draw it, you can as well say anything you want to say in 100 or less words. As a committed Artist marketing the identity of enterprises, notable logos I have drawn include UCIFA (in 2007), FUCAFF, Procurement Classroom, Procurement Initiatives Asia-Pacific, Arua Cartoons, (Ugandan) Leopard, etc...

FINANCIAL PAPERS (BUSINESS QUOTES)



SUDHIR RUPARELIA Quotes

In 2014, Sudhir Ruparelia popped up on Forbes Lists as the Richest Man in East Africa. Born in UG on 17th January 1956, the Entrepreneur departed for London (UK) with his Indian Parents when Idi Amin chased away Asians in 1972. He returned in the late 80s with some Capital from Odd Jobs to set up the Ruparelia Group of Companies which includes Crane Bank (1995)...

Whichever Way you look at it my Friends, you have to put in some Work. If you are unemployable, roll up your Sleeves and do something on your own to earn you some Money. You have to work either Way to meet your Needs...

Never become complacent in Business. Every new Day is a new Challenge...

It is not the Amount of Money we have invested to buy the Institution that is important, it is what we intend to do with it. I plan to invest about $ 10 Million (about 26 Billion UgX) in this Process in the next few Years, to give this (Victoria) University a new strong Identity...

You need to go into the kind of Business that suits your Lifestyle, Interests and Passion so that you enjoy what you are doing...

Young People always want to rush Things. They want to see Growth and Success immediately which can't be the Case. In many Cases, when you rush at the Beginning, your Success will be short-lived and you are very likely to fail in the long Run. You are actually better off starting out slowly and building a strong Business Foundation which will guarantee you long Term Success...

Ugandan Businessmen have come a very long Way. Everybody has the same Opportunities to make it here. The Oil is here and we have not even got started on that yet so certainly, the Best is yet to come... (Friday 4th April 2014)

Without your Support and Encouragement, Friendship, I do not believe I would have achieved this immense Accolade of not only making it on the Forbes List of Billionaires but also such a prominent Mention including the Photo on the Cover Page of the highly esteemed Forbes Magazine for Africa... All of you have Stories to tell... (Launch of the Forbes Africa Cover at Kabira)

My Father's Grandfather came to Mombasa in 1897; they moved, five Brothers came to Mombasa from India. They had Business, they were Traders and two of the Brothers moved in-road as the Railways moved in; they moved their Trading Post with the Railways. They were dealing with the Workers on the Railway Sites, they were dealing with the Local, the People in the Area they moved into, you know! In 1903, they reached Uganda and started their first Operation which was basically Trading again. I think in 1918, the five Brothers split up and my Father's Grandfather went his own Way. His Settlement of the Partnership was around 2, the Currency that was used at that Time was Rupees and he got a Settlement of 200,000 Rupees which was about 10,000 Pounds, it's a lot of Money then and still a lot of Money now...

GOD gives every Bird a Worm but HE does not throw the Worm in the Nests...

With a Website, Customers can view your Products and Services on their own Schedules, even long after your normal operating Hours...

Good Ideas rarely make good Business... A Website for Used Cars in Uganda sounds good but will it make enough Money... Ideas are in abundance, it's Effort that creates Wealth...

Develop a realistic Budget for the short and long Term so that you know what you need to spend on Necessities...

Why do Ugandans fail? We don't have a Culture of honouring our Commitments. When we take Money from a Bank, we don't want to pay it back on Time because of School Fees or because your Wife was sick or something happened. The Bank doesn't know that, you've got to go and explain to them but hiding from them destroys you. Then they come and repossess your Property which was not their ultimate Goal. They wanted to lend you Money and get their Interest and Capital back but they end up taking your Money. So many People say: (Me, I don't borrow. I never go to a Bank, no!) and I look at those People, they are educated, they are smart. When you borrow Money from a Bank say Crane Bank, he'll give you Money at say 20 percent. Let's make it easier, 24 percent which works out 2 percent per Month. If you are doing a small Business and you cannot make more than 2 percent to pay back his Bank and make some Profit, then don't do that Business! It's not worth it. Use that as a Benchmark, the Interest Rate when you invest in a Business coz his Interest is spread in a Year...

I'm always competing with Kenya and Kenya is Miles ahead of us. Why are they so far ahead of us? Okay, they've had Peace, we went through our dark Period, our dark History which we cannot walk away from. We've had Stability, they have stronger financial Institutions, but even the People's Attitude, Mentality! The Kikuyu who doesn't like the Kalenjin or Luo, when it's Time for Business, they get together. They put their Money together. We've began Investment Clubs here, but these People had them 20 Years ago. This Kind of Meeting, every Hotel in Kenya, in Kisumu, in Eldoret, in Mombasa, there are Meetings of People sharing Business Ideas: (Let's do Property together...)
If you are not sure and you do not have the Discipline, then don't borrow because whatever Security you take ultimately they will not sympathise. The Money was Customers' Money, they did it to protect it. So watch out for that...

We were taught when we were young as Christians that: (Don't worry; don't be greedy; have little; the Rich People going to Heaven is like going through the Eye of a Needle; it's good to be poor; you will be rewarded in Heaven!) A lot of Baloney, whoever tells you that got it wrong...

The Biggest Thing in my View is Skills; we do not have practical Skills.
We overemphasize this Academic Education and you come out a Graduate but you know nothing, you cannot survive, you cannot control your Environment. The Skills we have, there is a big Mismatch...
People who start too many Businesses are undercapitalised, you think it is going to work out, you're overoptimistic about the Cashflow, then you consume it, Expenses, everything, down; poor Business Plan...

We have this Culture of not honouring our Commitments. Many People are given Pre-Advance Finance to buy Maize. They give you: (Go buy 20 Bags of Maize!) Give me a Pickup! When I go to the Village, I buy the Maize. I've got the Money. On the Way I say: Let me sell it to somebody else, make some Money and I'll buy for you next Time! Our value System is weak and slowly I see especially amongst the Muslims, some of them are stricter, they have that Discipline. Many of you complain: (These Indians, they came here without Money but overnight they've become Millionaires!) Discipline! The Chinese have come in Kikubo, Discipline. They didn't have that much Money. They work hard, overnight they grow. There are so many Men in Kikubo I respect: ...Kagoro, solid Names in Kikubo, not educated. I've seen this Guy walking around, very humble in Slippers, in Shorts doing little Businesses but they have grown and then they own Properties worth Millions of Dollars; they are not sophisticated but they know what they want in Life...

Why can't we get together and mobilise? When it is a Wedding or Funeral, we get together because that's how we are taught, our Culture, but when there is a Business Opportunity, we don't get together...

Globally to start a Business, many People want Capital and that is the Most Common Story amongst young People: (Where can I get Capital? I want to do Business but I don't have Capital...) I often ask: What's your Idea? Capital should be the Last Thing. Now quickly: There are six Ways to get Capital. Number 1: You can inherit it; if your Parents were rich, you can inherit it. Very few of us will inherit that Capital. Largely, we are a poor Community. Number 2: You can marry into it. Find a very rich Family, you lobby and you get in but I warn you, the Mother-in-Law, she will spot you. It's not a very good Route to go. Number 3: Some People think they can gamble. They can win it, Lottery, Casino. After what Sudhir did with Premier Lottery, you think anybody can win, hahaha! Not easy, I wouldn't count on that. Many People go to the Casinos thinking it's their Lucky Day. Just because you came out, the Matatu was there, you jumped on Time, you reached there, someone was waiting for you: (I'm, eh, am on a Roll here!) You put your little Money in a Casino. Other People think they can steal. (Let me plan how to steal!) These Guys have made Bichupuli, they've done what, they've made Money, they go and they plan really to steal. Now I would not advise anybody to do it. If you want Light and you get a Candle like that, it's not worth holding that Light. Stealing, you will never live peacefully; you will always be looking over your Shoulder. There are only two Ways left to get Money. One Way is: You have to earn it; you have to work! If you get a Job, it may pay you little but earn some Money. Earn a little bit of Money and show People that you can earn and if you can prove that you have the Ability to earn, then you can go to the Last Method which is to borrow. And many of us fall in that Category. You have to borrow if you want to accelerate your Growth! So it is you earning or borrowing. When you earn, you have to save! What you save, you can invest. Without that, you cannot do the other...

DANIEL VAN NIEKERK Quotes
Below are recommendations from a South African Financial Advisor who studied Financial Planning at Chartered Insurance Institute, UK

"A lot of people think if you need to invest, you have to have a lot of money but that is not necessarily the case. The concept of investing also implies saving the money somewhere...

"You got to spend what is left after saving, not save what is left of the spending, otherwise you will never have money. You will always find reason for money to go...

"Learn to pay yourself first...

"Money has its way to fall through our fingers...

"We have this Aid Mentality here in Africa; everyone has to help us poor Africans coz we can't help ourselves. We just gotta take the decision and say: Listen! Stop, I have to plan! Put myself first, save or put away, invest however you want to term it...

"If you are going to get a loan or some kinda grant from somewhere, it really needs to make some financial sense on paper at the end of the day especially with business because most businesses fall in the first year or two anyway... Uganda has a high new business start-up rate, so people jumping or going home they've got all these millions and there is no forward planning. How is this gonna be sustainable including the interest and profit and you still gotta pay yourself and buy stock whatever your business is? Certain businesses are obviously more profitable: Food Business and those kinds of things but in general you've got to make sure your business is sustainable; you've got to do your homework..."

EMPLOYMENT IS AN OXYMORON! 
Ugandans complain that there are no Jobs, but sometimes even if you get employed, you are not paid. When you are paid, the Money is not much. Even if it is much, it is not enough. Even if it is enough, you still want more; that's why some People become corrupt. The cycle just continues...

The 8th Day of Creation
GOD created the universe in six days and rested on the 7th, but on the 8th day, HE freed creativity for eternity. It is so spontaneous that it cannot be stopped. So, let creativity flow! Free your imagination from incarceration! Custom-tailored Design is endless and #GODisthegreatest...

Win, lose or draw Pictures! Nature is not inhibited, it just re-designs itself in the Wilderness. Embrace untamed imagineering and oneironautics! Let out your inner Artist! Ideas can never run dry, visions never cease. The Funniest Thing about CREATIVITY is that you can create something from absolutely nothing. Even when you feel you are in Production Hell, you can still make an effort to escape into Reverie like King JESUS is on your side before His Second Coming. Everyone is born free and it is not yet a crime to create freely, only GOD can judge us! Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery: whatever things are noble, right or lovely, think about them! Lucid-high dreaming is real, free your Soul and give your Subconscious Mind to THE GREAT SPIRIT (YAHWEH)...

Alhamdulillah (Translated from Arabic: Thank YOU, GOD)! Holy, holy, holy is the LORD GOD Almighty, WHO was, WHO is and WHO is to come! HE is WHO HE is! May HIS Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven from Kampala to Masaka, Mbarara, Kabale, Fort Portal, Kasese, Hoima, Masindi, Lira, Gulu, Soroti, ARUA, Moroto, Mbale, Tororo, Busia, Malaba, Jinja, Mukono and back plus other cities (around the world)! 

Amen...
