  • 🇺🇬 Part One: Whilst visiting Kampala, the capital city of Uganda I took a visit to the central market and met a collective of guys who look after an area called the Bermuda Triangle. They took me on a tour and explained exactly what happens when thieves are caught. Mob justice Uganda style. Join me in the ghetto.

So I would like to share my perspective of Uganda which you can see in my latest video I just posted. It is completely different to his perspective. Even in the ghettos in countries I have visited, the way you engage with people changes the dynamic. Having been in the same situations, I generally realise people are all the same and fun around the world. So I hope I can share a different perspective. the episode is called "Uganda is Fun"

    Worked with a bloke back in the 70's who had been one of the Ugandan Asians forcibly expelled from Uganda by Idi Amin, He and his family lost everything, his home, car, belonings and his business, he was one of many taken in by the British government, he was always grateful to GB for giving him another chance to thrive, which he did, good bloke he was, always upbeat despite the hardship he'd suffered.

      Met a few of those in Canada. They were Ismailis who followed the Aga Khan. They mostly originated from the state of Gujarat in India.

      Oh yeah, kind of like how GB stole everything from everywhere else. Only you lot take it a step further and put stolen cultural artifacts on display in your museum. Keep patting yourself on the back.

      @@ORDEROFTHEKNIGHTSTEMPLAR13 No not windrush, this was later, 1972/73. Almost 30,000 Asians who had British passports, I believe, were taken in by our government after Amin gave them 90 days to get out of Uganda or else.

      The greatest thing to ever happen to Uganda was colonization by Great Britain c. 1860. The worst thing to ever happen to Uganda was de-colonization of Uganda in 1888.
