Motivational speaker Frank Gashumba is grateful to his hosts in the UK.
The opinionated speaker who enjoyed his time abroad speaking to fellow Ugandans in the diaspora took some time off to appreciate the organizers for the opportunity.
He said; “I want to take this opportunity to thank the organizers of the Uganda-UK convention 2016. My sincere thanks goes most especially to Mr Mutenza Willy. I enjoyed every bit and the experience and exposure was awesome. My visit to the UK was brief and precise. The Convention revealed to me the power of the social media! I was extremely shocked on how Ugandans in UK follow each and everything I do on social media and TV Stations. If every selfie I took was converted into pounds, I would be walking happily to the bank now! Ugandans in the diaspora love their country the way human beings love to breathe. Every private meeting i had with different Ugandans, 99% were asking me what they can do to help and transform Uganda.”
Frank also noted that there is no difference among Ugandans even when they come from different ethnicity backgrounds.
“Yes we come from different ethnic, cultural and religious backgrounds; Baganda, Basoga, Bagisu, Banyankole etc actually there are over 56 tribes in Uganda but there is no difference with all of them. We are all the same! Basoga have a King, Baganda have a King, Batooro have a King etc but above all of us, there is a country called Uganda and we all carry a passport that bares the name REPUBLIC OF UGANDA. No kingdom in Uganda issues passports! Absolutely none and certainly there will never be one. So in summary we are the same, one people and one nation. We may disagree on ideologies but we shouldn’t fight or kill each other,” he added.
We will keep you posted.
