Eeeh! My coronary heart remains to be on the water!
Ben Immanuel Misagga
For days, I’ve locked myself in the home of the Wordsmith, searching for phrases sufficiently big for what we did. As a result of what occurred on twenty second August 2026—there is no such thing as a small phrase for it.
The lake didn’t simply host a race. The lake ROARED! Enyanja Nalubale awakened!
Amaato Ga Kabaka is again. Not as a reminiscence. Not as a narrative from Jjajja. However as a STORM!
For 7 years, we’ve got horsed this factor on our backs like a cussed mule!
They stated, “It should die.”
We paddled.
They stated, “No cash there.”
We pushed.
They stated, “Who watches boats?”
On twenty second, 18 boats, hundreds of followers, and the entire Kingdom answered them!
SO LET ME POUR MY THANKS LIKE THE WAVES OF BUNJAKO BEACH:
To Katikkiro – You gave us the protect. We used it.
To Minister of Sports activities & Youth – You gave us the legs. We ran.
To Abamasaza – You introduced the colors, the drums, the pleasure! With out you, there is no such thing as a Buganda!
To the Followers – You who stood within the solar, you who screamed until your voice broke, you who watched on telephone in Dubai and Toronto – You’re the nineteenth boat! You pushed us!
To my LIONS – the 18 Boats! You didn’t row! You flew on water! The lake was on fireplace!
To my QUEENS – The three Girls Crews – You killed it! You confirmed them that Nnalongo can row higher than Ssalongo! You’re the new face of Amaato!
To the Combined Crew – That’s Gen Z Amaato! Candy, attractive, highly effective! That’s what sponsors need!
To Press & Media – You took our sweat and made it shine on each telephone!
And to TEAM AMAATO – My Military – You haven’t any sleep in your eyes, however you will have Buganda in your coronary heart. I salute you!
LISTEN TO KIFUUTA!
The Oracle advised me: “If you’d like a person who by no means makes a mistake, go to the graveyard!”
We’re not useless! We’re alive! We’ll make errors, we are going to right, we are going to turn out to be harmful!
We’ve been digging for 7 years. Our nails are damaged.
However hear – YOU DON’T PICK A DIAMOND FROM A TREE. YOU DIG DEEP INTO THE ROCK TO FIND IT!
Household, we’ve got hit the rock. The diamond is shining. I can see it!
So my enchantment isn’t for sympathy. My enchantment is for BUSINESS!
Let’s cease rowing for claps. Let’s begin rowing for CASH!
Let this sport purchase land. Let it pay faculty charges. Let it construct motels on the lake.
Let each Masaza personal a fleet that earns.
Let each youth put on an Amaato jersey value.
Let each race be a live performance, a market, a TV present!
Tradition that doesn’t put cash within the pocket will probably be forgotten. Tradition that places meat on the desk will probably be worshipped!
We’ve revived the historical past. Now let’s monetize the historical past!
The water is ready. The cash is ready.
TUMWEBAZE! WANGAALA KABAKA! FFE ABAAMATO,
Chairman, Amaato Ga Kabaka
