Unfortunately the church as an institution has historically sided with power. With a few radical exceptions, churches have a form of godliness but deny the power there of.
Lenin said it best :
Religious Leaders We Cannot Continue To Launder Bad Leadership!!!
Today, at a breakfast organized by the Patriotic League of Uganda, Apostle Grace Lubega described the political outfit led by General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, Chief of Defence Forces of the UPDF, as peaceful, not abusive or subversive.
The facts say otherwise. A simple scroll through General Muhoozi's X account shows execution threats, abduction threats, and abuse of power. That is the opposite of peace. It is subversion.
Apostle Grace Lubega is my spiritual father. He leads a ministry that gathers up to 20,000 Ugandan youth every week. Members of that same ministry have been abducted simply for holding the head of this political outfit accountable.
Religious leaders must start speaking truth to power, especially on politics. A church with that many people must realize that its words shape how its members interpret the politics of the day. You can raise sheep who never question power, abuse, bad leadership, or bad governance. Or you can raise people like Christ.
Christ stood up to bad leadership. He told the scribes and Pharisees "Woe unto you, hypocrites!" (Matthew 23:13) and called Herod "that fox" (Luke 13:32).
He demanded accountability. He told the temple traders they had made God's house "a den of thieves" (Mark 11:17), and when struck unjustly he asked, "If I have spoken evil, bear witness of the evil" (John 18:23).
He stood for the oppressed, sent "to preach deliverance to the captives... to set at liberty them that are bruised" (Luke 4:18).
He spoke against injustice, condemning those who neglected "judgment, mercy, and faith" (Matthew 23:23) and "devour widows' houses" (Mark 12:40).
Church, we cannot claim to follow Christ and stay silent while power abuses the people. Speak.

It's always funny seeing an influencer pour body for the brand, defending some silly execution...then the brand comes out to acknowledge that indeed it was wrong.
...and now the influencer has to start deleting the tweets they made...do you see how stupid you feel/ look

You can keep untagging yourself from all tweets, @pearlbank_ug, but the better option would be to acknowledge your mistake.

Who knows where this lady @BrownNadej stays so that we take to her photos and details of victims of abduction and torture. So that we can pin the pictures of Moses Kibalama on her wall, so that we can plaster the pictures of King Zale on her gate, so that we can give her pictures of Sam Mugumya as red carpets.
@pearlbank_ug and @AkoraPriscilla we shall be here. In another country, that bank would be in Ashes or smoke by now with everything inside it, but the silence of victims today should not be taken for weakness or defeat📌we shall be here!

People have been abducted by drones and badly tortured...families haven't seen their loved ones who were abducted by drones
But an irredeemably stupid chap with a CIM certification thought that's a marketing stunt to go with.
Very tone deaf!

I know "shock factor" is a concept in marketing. But not every brand has permission or strength to use it. And the context also matters.
You can shock me into drinking an energy drink.
But you can't shock me into downloading a Financial App. It's a thin-line.

That's the Head of Marketing at Pearl Bank ..the ones behind the drone abduction stunt.

1,380,000 children started school 7 years ago but didn't reach P7. Include them, when you're trying to make sense of Uganda.

I posit that Chatgpt definitely trained the poster making models on like a billion club flier images thats why no amount of yelling at it will change the output....
Claude trained theirs on government or NGO posters.
Either way you lose.

Kenyans are so irritating with this “y’all do nothing”
People are doing things. They have been killed, tortured, disappeared. Dr Kizza Besigye is in prison. Meanwhile you’re saying we do nothing yet Ruto is comfortable in state house while all you have is a twitter name.
