Pearl Of Africa

Lugbara With A Green Pearl Earring (2021 Ugatoons rendition [of Dutch painter Johannes Vermeer's artwork] by Aiko)

Uganda is truly the Pearl of Africa: Progressive, beautiful, sweet and fresh! I've spent most of my life within this Suru [Lugbara Translate: Nation], only sneaked out across imaginary borderlines a few times and personally, I call it "United Gombololas (UG)" because we have so many subcounties represented by over 500 Members of Parliament in arguably the Biggest August House on Earth. In the Arua Hill Gombolola where I stay, there are zones or villages such as (N)Sambya, Kenya, Congo, Sudan and Zambia. Other Gombololas of Arua District have territories named after Tanganyika, Dubai, Mutukula, Malaba, Garamba, Kampala, etc; it can be very confusing but also cosmopolitan at the same time. Let's meet at Makutano Junction or Casablanca, not the town but venue! Viewing Arua City from the masts on the main hill reminds me of Toronto (Canada) even if the buildings are not as tall; it's a straight Avenue Road thing. The Covid-19 pandemic turned Ugandan homes into some sort of "Indoor-nesia" like thousands of islands. From the adventurous Source of the Nile in Jinja (my Birth place) to the wonderful snow-capped Rwenzori (Block) Mountain in Kasese to the paradisic Nile Bend around West Nile (my ancestral origins) plus Murchison Falls (Kabalega) National Park in Bunyoro and Acholi to the refreshing big-size Lake Victoria (aka Nalubaale) in Bantuland, there are so many Points of Interest to tour by train, aircraft, land vehicle and water vessel; Virtual Tourism is also possible on electronic devices or paper. The Government led by Yoweri Museveni since 26th January 1986 (when I was 2 years 19 days old) is relatively steady despite a turbulent first 30 years of bananas after 1962 (My parents were born in the late 1940s, only my Youngest Sister out of 7 siblings arrived in the M7 Era but all those older than me have been refugees in Zaire now DR Congo before), Business is profitable, Cultures diverse and Music creatively therapeutic. Ugandans as a group are very friendly people except for isolated hate crimes based on Land, guerrilla tactics and other discussable civilian wrangles. The Food is platelickingly tasty eg Luwombo (cooked in banana leaves), Indian Buyi Buyi sweets, Balafu (like Cool Cool Bar), Bushera drink, Malwa alcohol (preferably with sugar added, Ugandans can sip Beer with a straw), Namungodi [Rice mandazi], Lugbara Ombangulu [mashed Whiteants], Nsenene [Grasshoppers, especially in April and November], Posho [Maize meal], Anyoya [Boiled maize onion-fried with boiled beans], Rollex that originated from Nakulabye in KLA City, Emboli [Sweet potatoes in Busoga], Amukeke Porridge, Fried Fish, Rice and Beans plus Fried Eggs (my personal Favourite Dish), concentrated Mango Juice without sugar added, Tamarind Juice, Molasses and so much more. Most natives pray to the Israelite GOD mentioned in the Christian Bible and Muslim Koran though there are ancestral tribal beliefs (labelled Witchcraft) and Oriental tendencies (making offerings to small statues like Hindus). My Country is crossed by the Equator and lies in both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres plus landlocked from or linked to the Indian Ocean by Kenya. English is the official national language but Luganda and Swahili are also quite prominent among about 61 tribes recognised by the 1995 Constitution. Dialects can be categorised as Bantu, Luo, Karimojong-Ateso, Madi-Lugbara and Wahindi or Asian. Bazungu (Europeans or Whites) also constitute a section of the population even though their race is looked at as colonial and imperialist; that mindset will change eventually. We are all the same colour when you turn off the lights; we come from soil and are 99.9 percent similar. Fun games include Dooloo or Dulu (Marbles), Obugolo obutono [Small goals], Kwepena [Dodgeball], Poye, Omweso, Soccer, Basketball, Netball (mainly for females), Tennis, Golf, Volleyball, Cricket, Rugby, Badminton, Motocross, Goatracing, etc. Uganda has two major rain seasons and celebrates Independence (Uhuru) Day on 9th October amid jubilant fanfare. For me, Opposition in UG is like Government circus; they get paid to disagree with the ruling party, something quite funny about Democracy which works to appease opponents who can be bought with millions so that they tone down. Such phenomena never happen in Schools nor Local Councils. I preferred the one-Party Movement System (similar to China) before the 2005 Multiparty Referendum. We are all Ugandans: What we need is peace and tarmacked roads not defiant partisan riots; the rest will sort themselves out like Mivumba 2nd hand clothes do. Hallelujah to the Most High...

YESU Magazine

#GODisgreat, first and foremost! I've lived in Uganda most of my life, home sweet HOME, only sneaked out a few times but I must confess that I do not have much to complain about UG nor envy from other countries besides probably size; small can also be enough. I may not be as knowledgeable as frequent Travellers about all the countries on this Earth but am aware of Happiness; it's just a state of mind! I'm not a Refugee, so why should I be unhappy? A war-less Uganda means life can get better steadily in health, education, technology, business or development as well as sports. Japan is 10-years-ahead more developed than the rest of the World but their suicide rates are very high; some Japanese are fed up with their high life or is it low yet here Opposition rants about Government failures like a Political Circus even though they are part of the same Government anyway; just masking themselves behind colours like camouflage: We are all Ugandans. I preferred the one-party (Movement) System like China before the 2005 Multiparty Referendum: All we need in this life of tomatoes is Peace and Tarmac, not temperamental partisan Riots and unnecessary Noise...

 

Prophetess DRUCILLA MILDRED Quotes

Prophetic church services every Wednesday at (Mackinnon Suites Kampala) 4pm East Africa Time delving into the divine mysteries...

Wednesday is a very spiritual day: The heathens know it in this country, the witchdoctors... But the church doesn't know it which is absurd... Wednesday is a very special day in this country, if you didn't know... Why do you think political activities that are very sensitive in changing atmospheres are done on Wednesday, not any other day?

[Everlasting Source:] There are portals in the spirit that are opened at different times. You could be sitted here and you find that an excess financial portal is opened for you: I just went for fellowship, sat and heard the preaching this and this. But if you are keen and sensitive to the spirit, you will know: I was unlocked financially the day I was sitted. And if you are too sensitive in the spirit, you can even know the minute or second that happens to you. That is what the LORD desires of you that now you are so intertwined and so one with HIM that you know when things happen... You maximise the moment... Push it to receive more... Oil is what changes a man from being ordinary to being extraordinary. That surely expresses to you how much HE loves you as an individual or how much you mean to HIM... 

Someone does not have to be in this place for them to get healed. You being their point of contact, by the time you are being touched, the LORD knows your heart cares or cries over them. You find that at that moment, you receive for them as well. It is by the Spirit straight from HIS Throne...

Anything is possible... In this place, you partake of that which is straight from the Throne of GOD... Testimonies will baffle each one around you or each one who knows you. They will say: This is GOD! No hand of man shall be visible. This is what the LORD is giving you. Every area of your life is being transformed... You are so blessed to be here, you will never be the same again...

You enter an office and you think you need the top person in that office and yet the person with your answer is the receptionist but you have to know who is supposed to make you enter wherever you want to enter before you enter there. Take your eyes from a particular limitation to HIS very diversity for in whatever situation, there is a messenger that is sent forth but you have to learn to delight in the messenger who is sent... By delighting in the messenger, you are delighting in the LORD who is using or sending that messenger. Bless the name of the LORD... When you are aligned to divine purpose, there is no shortage... what I call prophetic word, the way is paved for you. I've told you: Wait for three... four months. By you delighting, you call forth the manifestation, glory to GOD!

When HE comes here, HE comes to purify... The higher HE purifies, the more the value...

I have seen people who don't even have campus documents but they sit in positions where the rest who have experiences and campus documents and have upgraded levels have actually failed to sit in... Out of nowhere, someone is willing to train this person who seems to be of no value but they have GOD who outcompetes each and everything that is physical...

In one night, you sleep broke and wake up very rich, I have seen these things happen...

JESUS Christ is a higher Way to healing...

The Mountain of GOD will be exalted above all other mountains...

Mediums are brokers from Hell. Receive from the very Throne of GOD; only angels should assist you...

[Living Ahead Of Time:] You are chosen to be here... We serve a living GOD... It's by divine unction that you are here...

You know that there are certain families in the world, in Uganda in particular where the entire household is down. They are all very very sick and yet actually when you go, they don't tell you what is wrong with you. They will give you medication upon mediation. It's not a physical thing... You are here for a solution... You are here not just as a representation of yourself but the entire family... Your household shall not be victims to what the Enemy is demonstrating in this nation and other nations...

You are on the side of light, that is GOD's side, so victory is already guaranteed... You are so protected that nothing foreign can touch you... When all the rest are in worry and panic, you do not worry and panic, glory to GOD! What I want you to know is the magnitude of GOD's greatness... A miracle you receive is not the greatness of GOD, HE is greater than the miracle you receive though it is from HIM. Your life springs from HIM but HE is greater than what you have tapped into so far...

Everyone in the ark knows it is raining outside but they are not affected by the rain. Everyone outside is diminishing but everyone that is in the ark is abounding; they have so much, they have plenty of everything they need, glory to GOD! Why? Because where the LORD is, HE makes sure HE has equipped you so well... with each and every thing so that you don't fall short when it comes to assignments... HIS testimony is upon you, HE protects and guards HIS Testimony... HIS Testimony is HIS Word...

GOD will justify the heathens through faith...

Before salvation comes, HE sees the end before the end. HE makes sure Z(ed) is covered even before A(y) starts... Okay, your December is well aligned and well catered for even before you reach your November... January... HE prophesied to Abraham... All things are already laid out, yours is to get so comfortable...

[The Supernatural Life:] You are bigger than whatever mountain before you... It's one thing to call the mechanic but a spiritual man can be able to know that there is a reason to why this has happened in a particular place. First of all, why did you come and drive safely? You didn't stop on the way... That is why there is an angel to make sure you don't leave. And yet most of you think HE is against you... They are in the vicinity of someone, he is at that moment searching for them... Anything you can see in the spirit cannot be hindered by anyone, not even yourself... Principalities cannot get in the way of what has been orchestrated from the Throne of GOD... At that time, there are different spirits or Messengers that have to work on the other end... They have to coordinate with each other. The one who makes the other person come to this place does not make the person reach and you are not in that place... There is no piece that falls out of timing... Wrong place, wrong time, those things!

The LORD HIMSELF knows that on a particular day, you yourself will be in a particular place sitted on that particular chair... All the other forces have to work into one sphere... Make sure you are sitted in a place of glory, fullstop...

You can be on your phone morning to evening, even the night looking for business deals. And yet you know now, the fact that you are in the presence of GOD is time to get off the phone. At that moment, you might look like you are wasting time, and for HIM, that's quality time. The effect of watching TV the entire day and the effect of what you are doing right now is weightier than what you have done the entire day. Why? Because it aligns with HIS very heart at that particular time. It's a place of total surrender where now HE has to lead or take over or change you and transform you in that HE desires you to be... The spiritual comes in and cheats time for him. All the transactions will take place that he hadn't even orchestrated...

[Secret Of GOD Upon Your House:] You know things that other men don't... when you come to sit in the presence of the LORD, glory to GOD! Business just happens without hustle... It's that smooth because HE has shown HIMSELF to you... When other men look at you, they think you are unserious... Most of you become lazy because things just fall in place...

[In Your Power:] By faith, the people passed through the Red Sea as on dry land. When the Egyptians tried to do so, they were drowned, glory to GOD! There are different levels of association in the spirit... No competition! Everyone is in their lane and you are the best in your lane... It's your show... Be consistent until the tree roots are as strong as possible... Don't... keep the tree in your house... Leave the tree planted in the ground so that the roots may go forth to where the living waters are...

Someone who doesn't stay in a certain estate can't easily access a certain place unless they are invited to enter into certain places... 

Day of Judgement is not: Go to Hell, go to Heaven! It's when a situation comes before you and you have to work it a certain heavenly way and be assimilated into your very crowning...

[Power From On High:] When you walk with the LORD, the spiritual can take control... You dream and things happen even when you are not too serious with these things... That which you have received by the Spirit has to outlive anything that is physical. The times we are in, the LORD is making sure that everyone knows HIM, everyone partakes of the blessing... People overmake it religious and yet it is very simple. Tell me a country where they don't read the Bible, okay Iran! But such people get visions of the LORD and they don't even know how to read the Bible coz they don't have bibles. But someone will come and tell you serious things, coz if you've been let's say to Heaven, you'll know that a person is speaking vague things or they are faking it, you can tell. But someone in a nation where they've not been preached to is able to receive of the LORD and know that: Don't go that side, go this side! Don't do this, do this business! Do this or do this! That is the time we are in... Whatever you carry is much more than you as an individual. You are able to influence as many people as possible... Tell your neighbour to smile... The power is inside you; it's not outside nor in the books you will read, the lectures you are going to go for. Tap into the well that is within you... The revelation or the power or anything you can do cannot be quantified... There are people HE has given thrones: You can be into politics and even in politics, you can dominate in business...

[TESTIMONIES:]

"GOD does wonders in this (special) service..." - ARIELLA ELVIS (Facebook)

"When GOD messes you up the good Way..." - NORAN SHIRLEY

"I was introduced to the Light Fellowship when I was so broke with endless problems. Desperately needed GOD. I enjoyed the fellowship and also received prophecy from Prophet Dru. GOD had mercy on me. She told me three things, one being my leg condition which I had not told anyone. This healing happened instantly to my shock. Second was a choking debt of accumulated millions which was too much money for me but after that prophecy of debt cancellation, I don't know how but all I know is that the debt disappeared that very night. The person instead offered me more money. That can only be GOD. Third prophecy is still unfolding. As I testify, everything is emotionally overwhelming for me to a point where it is always hard for me to hold back my tears. I got a promotion at work which was unheard of and such a big miracle. I then resigned for better. By prophecy a business trip miraculously came up for me to fly overseas through which I miraculously got into international property ownership. Then offshore business. Online business connected to Dubai, UK and USA. Plus other businesses which have made me a living wonder, not only to everyone but to myself too. I remind myself that this is not a dream but my new reality with so many life-changing prophetic fulfillments though I will testify about others next time. I am thankful and honour Prophet Dru. Thank YOU so much, JESUS..." - PAUL

"I've never attended the Light Fellowship, only discovered it on Facebook through tags plus saw a video of Drucilla Mildred getting a Word of Knowledge anointing from Elvis Mbonye. Nevertheless, whenever I listened out to her sermons while in Arua, I felt a shift in my spiritual space..." - AIKO

Lugbara Anthem

The official Lugbara Kari Anthem, composed by Mercy Deogracious Ajedra (aka Deo Mercy) - a Pianist and Organist at Christ The King (Roman Catholic Church) along Arua Avenue, was launched on Wednesday 6th October 2021 in Mvara Ward; roughly 2 minutes long, it sounds quite nice, guess even the deaf Ludwig van Beethoven would have loved it: 

Ama Lugbara ru, ama 'ba aluni

Afa azi maco ama esele ku

Leta asianzu be ama eselea

Ama 'ba aleru, e'yo ada lepi ni

Ama a'bi 'ba ama, ovuzu suru nduni

Wudrikurua 'di eyi ma eselea dria

Suru drile, opi, Agofe amani

Lugbara Kari eci ama tualu.

ADRO fe amani, lonyi capini 'bo

Nyaku, pati, yi, anyapa, oli be

Ama eciti tualu, angu amani ezozu

Ama nga pa so okporu Lugbara ru.

[Lugbara Translate: We are Lugbara, we are one people/ Nothing should divide us/ Love and peace among us/ We are loving people, who love truth// Our ancestral heritage made us a unique tribe among all those in the world:/ Our tribal elders, chiefs, Agofe; Lugbara Kari unites us together// GOD has given us, enough wealth already/ Land, trees, water, animals, air too/ Let us unite, to develop our area/ We will stand strong as Lugbara.]
