UGANDA'S PRESIDENT'S BOAT IN WORRYING STATE

Dont quote us wrong. Not Yoweri Museveni but we are talking about the Ghetto President  His excellency Bobi Wine. Now just early this week, there were reports that yours truly Mr. Bobi had acquired a brand new $200,000 boat, which he took for a test cruise. Well, one thing is for sure, he could have got himself a boat, but whether it is brand new, raises eyebrows. Our informers deployed around Lake Victoria say the boat could be in the same class as the Escalade. According to onlookers the boat is in a worrying state. Apparently, it is badly rusted at the bottom and, unless it is taken to Katwe for welding, its life span on the lake will not be more than two months. Aside from the rust, there is also a thick layer of algae growing on the boat, which means it has been around for quite a while.

MUSIC CONCERTS BANNED BEYOND 10PM IN UGANDA

WITH American singer, song writer and producer – Sisqo, real names Mark Arthaveans Andrew’s, highly anticipated concert just around the corner, KCCA’s Executive Director, Jennifer Musisi has cracked the whip on concerts. If news filtering in is anything to go by, the future of Kampala’s night outdoor entertainment is silent disco! The no-nonsense Musisi is determined to put music concerts into perspective. She has outlawed ‘loud’ concerts and has decreed artistes don’t perform beyond 10:00pm (a time when most concert-goers are still ocking in and enjoying curtain raising acts).
In a strong-worded letter that will surely cause anguish to Kampala’s party animals, she has moved to ban concerts at Kyadondo Rugby Grounds, Kati Kati Bar and Restaurant, Hotel Africana People’s space until owners get clearance from KCCA.
In the communiqué obtained, aforementioned places, which recently played hostto the music battle between Bobi Wine and Bebe Cool, Coco Finger’s launch and the Goodlyfe’s Tonjagala launch respectively, are faulted for persistent noise pollution, especially on weekends when they host large and noisy gatherings. 
Please take note that you have been holding these outdoor events without a permit from KCCA as required by the Law and Order Ordinance (2006) and the National Environment (Noise Standards and Control Regulations, 2003). 
This is to, therefore, direct you to stop forthwith any outdoor events at your facility until you obtain a permit from both KCCA and NEMA for each particular event you intend to hold.” the letter, signed by KCCA’s Director Legal Affairs Mike Okua indicates. 
Musisi’s flowers spark fury
An insider at KCCA tells e Kampala Sun that the ultimatum from Jennifer Musisi stems from an incident during the just concluded Battle of the Champions between Bebe Cool and Bobi Wine.
The source tells that Musisi was driven to boiling point when show goers at Kyadondo, in total disregard for her efforts to beautify that part of town, destroyed her flowers as they stampeded to the venue. 
This was also soured by the concert ending at 4:00am with Police having to step on stage to stop Bebe Cool from further performance.The source says Musisi intends to make it hard for those with facilities for outdoor events to obtain permits. 
 Even then, the source says, these permits will come with stringent guidelines, among which is for the concerts to end by 10:00pm. Peter Kaujju, the KCCA spokesperson confirms the new developments. In a phone interview, he admitted the new guidelines, owners of the outdoor event facilities, will have to apply for a permit from both KCCA and NEMA for each particular event they intend to hold.  He was, however, coy on the cost of these permits but added; “Failure to comply with the instructions will compel KCCA to impound one’s entertainment machines and or close the premises and cause arrest and persecution for violation of the National Environment (Noise Standards and Control Regulations, 2003 and the Law and Order Ordinance (2006).” Kaujju admitted that extreme discomfort from concerts isn’t only affecting the Kololo and Naguru areas but will soon expand to cover all the other entertainment facilities in the city famed for hosting loud concerts. 
Previous bans failed
In 2008 bar owners and born-again churches were thrown in similar panic as over 11 were closed after being found to be main culprits responsible for high levels of noise pollution. The managers of these places had their machines impounded and were charged in court. Most of them pleaded guilty to the charge and were fined $100.  The bars that were penalised then included Golden Keys in Kiwatule, Soberz in Ntinda, Steak Out, Biggs, Blue Haze and Cheerz, all on Lumumba Avenue; as well as Punchline, Little Mama, Café Cherries and Tasha’s Pub, in Kabalagala. Also among them were Blue Corner and Ground Zero, both in Wandegeya. A NEMA official says on average, 10 complaints about noise pollution are received every week. 
The National Environment Noise Standards and Control Regulations (2003) specifies the maximum permissible levels, as measured on the sound meter, are 40, 60 and 75 decibels for residential, commercial and industrial areas respectively. However, according to the source, some concerts produce up to 150 decibels, which are similar to a plane taking on the runway. The managers at the affected outdoor entertainment facilities declined to comment although a famous music promoter, on condition of anonymity, branded her a joker. “Let her start with the churches before wasting time on us. Many have tried and failed. Interfering with our business is the biggest joke I’ve heard from Musisi,” he angrily responded.

TRENDY OUTFITS OF THE SLUM PRESIDENT AND 1ST LADY

Uganda's president Bobi Wine and 1st Lady Barbie Itungo ..dressed for dinner after tyning the knot..trendy...i must say...

UGANDA'S SLUM SHOWBIZ'S PRESIDENT LAVISH WEDDING

Around 1000 guests were invited to the lavish Bobi, Barbie wedding  on Saturday, 27 August 2011.

Singer Robert Kyagulanyi, alias Bobi Wine, wed Barbara Itungo at Rubaga Cathedral Kampala in a ceremony presided over by Archbishop Cyprian Kizito Lwanga. Their guests were treated to a luscious lunch in the sprawling Victoria Hall at the lakeside based Lake Victoria Serena Hotel.

From the guests that attended the party, it looks like the invitations were limited to the ‘who is who’ in society. A rough breakdown of guests included religious leaders, members of parliament, ministers, cultural leaders, prosperous businessmen, artistes (both in music and film), family, friends and well wishers and not forgetting city socialites.

Each of these categories of people were duly represented. Notable guests included the Nabagereka of Buganda Sylvia Nagginda, Prince Wasajja, Gilbert Bukenya, Godfrey Kirumira and his wife, Latif Sebbagala, Eria Lukwago, Ken Lukyamuzi, top artistes except Bebe Cool, Chameleone and his wife Daniella were present for mass but curiously absent at the reception, socialites led by Judith Heard among others.

Bobi’s wedding goes down in the books as the poshest celebrity wedding so far! We are comparing it with the fellow artistes Jose Chameleone’s, Ragga Dee and Silver Kyagulanyi who also had lavish weddings.

BUTCHERMAN QUITS FIREBASE

Close to 10 years under Firebase crew, Butcher man who has been the “Vice president of Firebase quit the Kamwokya based camp to embark on a solo career. we can exclusively reveal.
Butcherman famed for tracks like “Lwaki temumatila and bambala byambalemu” joined Firebase in 2002 under the guidance of Bebe Cool during the time when Bobi Wine, Bebe Cool, Blackboy and Toolman were the proprietors of the camp.
Butcherman became the vice President of Firebase when Bebe, Toolman and Blackboy quit the group and has been in that position till a few weeks back when he decided to form his own “Badman camp”.
“Being in firebase crew for over 8 years, fighting and sacrificing a lot, I don’t have even a piece of land to call my own. Bobi is so greedy that is all i can say about him.” Butcherman said. He added that he has no beef with Bobi wine and wishes him the best in all his endeavors.
Meanwhile Eighton and Rainman were dismissed from Gagamel without a clear reason.
“We called Bebe Cool several times to give some money to take care of our necessities  and all he did was to keep promising until he called us and said we are no longer  part of gagamel.
The artists who are famed for their “Kiwoko” track formed their own group called “Money makers” and say that someone in Gagamel is behind their dismissal because Bebe is a good persoN.

BOBI WINE TO FACE CHARGES

Soon after settling the land tenants who were claiming to own his one luv beach premises, singer Bobi Wine is yet again in trouble for “Plagiarism” charges.It is said Robinah Bisiilikilwa, wife to fallen star Paul Job Kafero of the Kadongo kamu fame is willing to take the self proclaimed Uganja President to the courts of law for  re-doing “ Dipo Nazigala” to “Ghetto Nazigala”.

“The song is said to be one of Paul’s best going by requests and airplay it received on most media houses but for an artist such as Bobi Wine to re-do the song shows lack of respect because he never got consent from the family.” according to an insider.The song is almost the same except for the few lines and fast beats Bobi changed to make captivating for his fans.
Now Bisiliikilwa is willing to take the matter as far as the courts of law unless the “Mr Money” singer pays an amount she’s yet to disclose as a lesson to others for not repeating the same act.
Paul Kafeero dated Robina Bisiliikilwa who by then was still in Kulabako guitar singer as a buck up artist and was among his many wives.

BOBI BRANDS BEBE A COWARD

Just when we thought we were about to witness another grudge album launch craze between arch rival singers Bebe and Bobi, something unthinkable has happened. Sources have told showbizxklusivs that the Kasepiki singer has chickened out from launching his album on the same day with Ghetto Gladiator Bobi Wine. In this latest twist, Bebe wrote on facebook.... "Two things the press and public need to know about Bebe Cool. Im not replying Kataala in no song and am not holding no show on the same day with Bobi. He needs to get a budget to market his show...." When contacted about Bebe Cool pulling out of the album launch duel, Bobi said: "I don't care if he is launching or not that's business. But everyone knows he is a coward and as always I would have floored him..." The two highly regarded showbiz big guns were set to launch their albums on October 1 2010.

REDSAN STILL HIRING WHEELS

Whereas his Ugandan peers like Chameleon ,Ragga Dee, Peter Miles and even Ghetto monster Bobi Wine are rolling in fuel guzzlers,Redsan is still hiring whips. And the dancehall musician Redsan lies at times. According to sources, Redsan hired a Range Rover Sport car he used at the Safaricom Sevens, held early this month. He went to Subru Motors,a Nairobi car hire company where our sources confirmed that he hired the monster wheel. Worse is the dancehall star bargained but the management refused to back down until he paid the full amount which was Kshs. 20000 ($300). So if you saw him in the wheels,know he just hired it.
