Children who grow up without fathers become delinquents – Pastor Ssempa

Renowned Pastor, Martin Ssempa has said children who grow up without fathers become delinquents and urged African parents to give more time to their children and try as much as possible to avoid ‘the modern-day growing vice’ of single parenting.

Ssempa, famous for fighting against homosexuality, while appearing on Sanyuka TV’s lifestyle show, She Talk on Sunday 2nd April 2023 went vocal on the roles of the two parents, mother, and father, in a family and how this impacts the children’s upbringing.

He says single mothers can’t raise kids appropriately and asserts that this is the biggest reason why black families are getting more broken.

“The number one reason why the black family has gotten broken more is that fathers are missing from the lives of their children. While single mothers believe they can raise children alone, the absence of a father makes the kids grow into delinquents,” Sempa said.

Ssampa believes children without fathers are ‘usually showered with lots of love’ and ‘no rules are applied to them’ to understand the other side of reality.

“Without a father, the kids are not governed appropriately and the constant showering of love from their mother makes it difficult for them to grow into responsible citizens of tomorrow,” he added.

Martin Ssempa is a Pastor, Anti-homosexuality Activist, and Founder of Makerere Community Church.

Vumbula Uganda Launches Sauce Of The Nile Festival.

As it marked the 3rd Anniversary in the events space, Vumbula Uganda; the fastest-growing events management company has launched another tourism event under its portfolio, dubbed — Sauce Of The Nile Festival.

The two days festival will be celebrating the source of the longest river in the world — the River Nile, with a blend of art, music and culture. Happening at Living Waters Resort, Jinja on 2nd-4th June 2023.

‘According to research, Egypt earns $16 Billion annually from their tourism sector and $5 Billion is attributed to the fact that many people visit Egypt just to explore the River Nile, and the country has a festival that highlights it. So, clearly Egypt markets and earns so much from River Nile than Uganda, which actually has the Source of the Nile, explaining why we came up with Sauce Of The Nile Festival’ — said Demo Riley, the CEO of Vumbula Uganda.

‘Besides Source Of the Nile, being one of the major tourist attractions in Uganda, we are calling it SAUCE (the cream or best quality of something) and not SOURCE (the beginning of something) because again, there’s no country with the quality of the Nile like Uganda. We (Uganda) have the best rafting opportunities, most powerful falls (Murchison Falls), tropics and the main source all on River Nile, and no other country does’ — he added.

About Vumbula Uganda

Vumbula Uganda sets out to unearth the uniqueness of the Pearl of Africa through premium event experiences.

The events company aims at building a strong community of people who share the same interests of celebrating Uganda’s beauty, art, music, and culture.

Jose Chameleone performing at Gwanga Mujje Concert

Musician Jose Chameleone, legally known as Joseph Mayanja, put up a memorable performance during his highly billed “Gwanga Mujje” concert that registered a big turn-up.

The concert which was held at Lugogo Cricket Oval, saw outgoers fill the venue to capacity as those who had not paid the entrance fees climbed the fence to watch Chameleone do what he does best.

Revellers graced the venue as early as midday and were treated to different music mixes by DJ Nimrod till around 9:20 pm as the show had no curtain raisers.

From that moment, Jose Chameleone kicked off his set with a couple of hit songs on live band that he executed pretty well and the sound had no glitches which indicated that he had enough time to rehearse his songs with the band. The backline band that did practice with Jose Chameleone did a great job on practising each of his songs to perfection.

He then took his fans down memory lane of his musical journey dating way back from the early 2000s to his current hit “Forever” in a marvellous style.

Chameleone’s “Gwanga Mujje” was near to perfect with Fenon events putting up a well-lit stage, good sound, and as expected Jose Chameleone put on an exhibition to remember as he iced the artistic set-up with good music and performance.

Midway through his performance, the Leone Island boss thanked his fans for turning up in large numbers. He went on to claim that he is a testimony of God’s blessing and existence.

He added that he should have now been dead but he is still alive because he still has a job to do and for that matter told his critics not to intimidate him.

“I am a testimony. I should b dead but I am alive, so don’t intimidate me. I am Joseph and you should let me live.”

Jose Chameleone

King Micheal, Weasel, Pallaso, Bebe Cool, Mudra, Zex Bilangilangi, Navio, Ziza Bafana, Ketchup, and Mesach Ssemakula as well performed.

The singer expressed his joy upon seeing his dad at his concert saying it had been 10 years ever since he had last attended any of their concerts.

Bebe Cool also thanked revellers for showing them love, especially the big three (Bobi, Bebe, & Chameleone) despite always being involved in fights.

He also promised to always be there for Jose Chameleone whenever he needs his help and support in any situation of his life.

Mesach Semakula also recognized Chameleone as among Uganda’s greatest artistes saying his name needs to be respected for the significant contribution he has put to the arts industry.

THE SINGING DIVAS; SPICE DIANA AND SHEEBA KARUNGI COLLABO AGENDA

It is always encouraging to see artists choose to work together and support each other rather than falling into the trap of competition and rivalry. Collaboration can lead to the creation of new and exciting music, and can also help to foster a sense of community and unity within the industry. It is important for artists to resist the pressure to compete with each other and instead focus on creating and sharing their art.

https://fb.watch/hmQw-d88Wg/

By choosing to collaborate and support each other, Spice Diana and Sheebah Karungi are setting a positive example for other artists in the industry.

Sheebah was the first to make a move by surprising Spice Diana on stage while she was performing at her EP album launch at Cubana Lounge in Munyonyo on May 26th
Sheebah mentioned that many selfish minded people want to bring them down by staging an illusional competition.
She further mentioned that she is going to be more collaborative and supportive to Spice Diana and promised to do a duet with her.
Spice on the other hand has only admiration for Sheebah whom she says is her mentor.

It should be noted that another illusional war was set up to compare Sheebah with the youngest talent on block, Pinky to which responded in an interview saying, “Pinky is young in the industry and instead of fighting with her, I will be available for her when she needs to talk to someone because time will come, and she will definitely need someone to talk to.”
Unlike the times of Bobi–Bebe Battle, the female artistes have chosen to collaborate with each other in the industry which has left fans and money minded promoters to think of creative ways to make money other than staging illusional battles between artistes.
