New Vision’s Carol Kasujja chatted with Former Mayor Hajji Nasser Ntegge Sebaggala who recently came out triumphant in a court battle against Sylivia Owori over who takes custody of the 6 year old kid he had with her. We present to you the conversation.
Hajji, when and how did you meet Sylvia Owori?
A real Muganda man does not talk about his love life in public. What you should know is that I had a happy relationship with Sylvia Owori and that is why she decided to bear me a child. That child was not a mistake. We both agreed. When I had issues with Naava Nabagesera, I decided not to share anything in the media and it helped me.
By the time you dated Owori, she was engaged to a white man, weren’t you afraid?
She did not look like she had someone in her life because on several occasions, we went abroad together for months. I never heard anyone call her at night, so she looked like someone who was available.
Is it true that you dated Desire Luzinda?
I do not know why journalists like that question. She is my friend. I am always invited to functions where she performs. We do not have any romantic feelings. You can ask her.
How many children do you have?
I have 18 children. My first born is 45 years and she lives in America with her family. As you people were going to school to study, I was busy getting children and making money.
Don’t you think your actions are hurting your wife?
Don’t forget that I come from a Muslim background. I have been with my wife for 36 years and she has looked after my other children. So, she cannot divorce me because I got another child. Let me tell you my daughter; never divorce a man you have been with for a long time just because you have seen him with another woman. Those women are always there for a short time.
There is a lot of single mothers, what advice do you have for women?
I call today’s women ‘I can afford to pay my bills’. When you have an appointment with her and you delay, she calls and assures you she can afford to pay her bills. I wish women would respect men. Women, do not bring your powers from work to home. Be a wife when you are at home.
