This man exposing his failures. He has been in leadership for over a century yet has never made swahili a major language in Uganda. Swahili is major in Kenya and Tanzania only Uganda fails EAC

[@apolokaggwa7619]

Don't blame him. He has known all along that it would be futile to impose Swahili upon us in Uganda and that he would be met with stiff resistance. Now that he is trying, he is getting the backlash. That Swahili is not a "major" language in Uganda should not surprise you at all. We have our indigenous languages to develop and promote, instead of entertaining any other foreign language apart from English. We have always done so. One foreign language is enough. If you wish to neglect your indigenous languages in Kenya and Tanzania, opting for some foreign language, that is up to you. Language is culture and so, a lost language is a lost culture. No one in Uganda will suffer the consequences but you.

He is a product of the environment he found himself in ... And on average he has done a relatively good job of it. Compare him to previous Presidents who came before him IN THE SAME COUNTRY.

[@wayando]

​@@apolokaggwa7619... Swahili is a foreign language. But at least it's a local foreign language that no one can claim to own. Putting English above the other languages messes with our self identity, because it's an acknowledgement that the colonisers still have strong influence on us.

[@apolokaggwa7619]

@@wayando If you have read my commentary and understood it, you would not claim that I am "putting English above the other languages" at all. Rather, I stand by my commentary that Swahili is a foreign language not indigenous to Uganda and so, there is no reason at all for anyone to impose it upon us. I have also stated that English, which is a foreign language is enough. That does not imply any "influence" of any kind. It simply means that we will eventually be phasing it out as our official language. Now the debate is underway as to why we should, and that Luganda should be the replacement. Don't be surprised when one day Luganda is the sole official language of Uganda, having replaced English, even though both of them are now acknowledged as such. Hence, Swahili being a "local foreign language" in Kenya and Tanzania does not make it so in Uganda. We have our own indigenous languages to develop and promote instead of Swahili, Luganda being the most popular of them all.

[@wayando]

@@apolokaggwa7619 ... Okay. Seems Kenyans are delusional to think the EAC is a common objective among the 3 main countries. From your words, I think the implications is that Uganda wouldn't be bothered with what goes on outside it's borders. As opposed to Kenyans who seem to believe that integration is all but inevitable.

[@apolokaggwa7619]

That is a blatant absolute lie and indeed a fallacy. Swahili may be "a common language" in neighbouring Kenya and Tanzania, but it has never been "a common language " at all in Uganda, where it has been rejected for over 100 years! Hardly anyone speaks Swahili in Uganda since it is a foreign language and not one of our indigenous languages. Pandering to the Kenyan audience by pretending that it is "a common language" in Uganda does not make it so. Nor is Swahili an "official" language of Uganda at all. The imposition of Swahili upon us in Uganda by force, will be resisted at every turn, until that policy by the dictator of Uganda has been reversed. It is only a matter of time. A language can only be "common" if the people themselves decide that it should be, which is what has happened to the Luganda language in Uganda. It has organically become the lingua franca, the language of commerce, entertainment and now government as well. In fact, Luganda is spoken and understood by an estimated 75% to 80% of the people of Uganda, or an average of 38 million of the entire 49 million population of the country. There is no other indigenous language in Uganda that can make that claim, including the language of his tiny Bahima population in the western Uganda jurisdiction of Ankole. Hence, Luganda has been elevated to national status, to be taught in all our institutions of learning in the country, according to the Ministry of Education policy directive. That was inevitable, given how popular it is throughout the country. Of course, the dictator of Uganda and the rest of the population who are not Baganda resent this a great deal since their indigenous languages have no chance against the Luganda language. Even though the dictator of Uganda has decided that Swahili should be compulsory in our schools, hardly any of them in Uganda have complied simply because they don't see any reason why. Therefore, do not be fooled by what the dictator of Uganda says. Our neighbours may "have" Swahili as "a common language" in those countries, but in Uganda the "common" languages are Luganda and English and nothing else.

Boss, am Kenyan and Kiswahili is being taught in Ugandan schools in secondary.

[@cadeauheritier980]

Why are you contradicting yourself? You clearly mentioned it is compulsory in school yet you keep insisting on your Luganda language which is only spoken in Central Uganda. Actually, you are only showing that your Luganda is superior than Lunyankole or Luhima. Stop madness and elevate your mind! Maybe wait for your Luganda to be Africa's continental language😢😢😢

[@apolokaggwa7619]

@@cadeauheritier980 Actually, I am not. A language cannot be imposed on anyone, including the dictator of Uganda. It can only be accepted by the people as matter of their culture. Had that been the case, English, a European language, which has been taught in our schools for well over 100 years, would have overtaken our indigenous languages to the extent of replacing them as the mother language. But it has never happened anywhere in Uganda or any other African country, even though all Africans today are bi-lingual, as a result of the European incursion into the continent in the last 100 years. Hence, declaring that Swahili should be "compulsory in school" does not make it so. No one has complied with it simply because there is no reason to do so. You are absolutely wrong about the Luganda language. It is not only the indigenous language of the Kingdom of Buganda, which you like to call "Central Uganda," but it is also the only indigenous language of Uganda spoken and understood by the rest of the country. There is no other indigenous language in Uganda that can claim that, including yours if you are not from Buganda. Therefore, no matter how much the popularity of Luganda throughout the country is resented by the non-Baganda, including the dictator of Uganda, there is nothing they can do about it, short of trying to impose upon us a foreign language such as Swahili. It will never catch on, no matter what the dictator of Uganda does.
