It's been a long time between posts. Bodaboda Baby has been busy doing many things, among them exploring <a href="http://jssozi.wordpress.com/2012/02/21/life-in-the-urban-slum-kisenyi">Kisenyi,</a> Kampala's largest <a href="http://ugandaradionetwork.com/a/story.php?s=44763">slum</a> which is now also unofficially known as <a href="http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Life/-/689856/1740092/-/ef1tlf/-/index.html">Little Mogadishu</a>, given that about 85 per cent of its population is said to be <a href="http://www.ipsnews.net/2014/03/somali-diaspora-ready-buy-one-way-tickets-home-yet">Somali. </a><br />

And while she's been mainly looking at the suburb's businesses - from Somcity travel centre and City Star Supermarket (above), of course she couldn't happen to notice Kisenyi's colourful boda drivers - and passengers. Here's a few pics below, tales to follow. <br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: left;">After spending the large part of three months out of Uganda, travelling around Rwanda, Tanzania, Zanzibar and Zambia, Bodaboda Baby has been having withdrawal symptoms from bodas (although she did get some boda, and tuk-tuk action in TZ.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Ismail Ssemanda, 20, was the newbie of the shoot, having only started working as a boda driver a month ago. His jacket set him back 120,000 UGX (nearly $50). He also wears a crisp white shirt (20,000 UGX or $8), trousers (again 20,000 UGX) and school type shoes (40,000 UGX or $17) which he bought from local markets. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Bodaboda Baby is ashamed. Correction, she is very* ashamed. That is because this is a boda blog and for the first time on her travels in a boda-friendly country in East Africa (that being <a href="http://www.gov.rw/">Rwanda</a>) she did not (not) dedicate any time to finding boda stories and this was because she was to busy marvelling of all the other sights of Kigali. The er, clean roads (Kampala!), and some more clean roads, and some more clean roads and... Okay there were other attractions, which she will now detail. Well, she did go to every single one of them via boda</span>.</div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">OMG where does she start? Let's just say that before her nine days in Kigali was up she'd been offered a loyalty card by the* manager of <a href="http://bourboncoffee.biz/">Bourbon Coffee</a> and <a href="http://www.livinginkigali.com/reviews/kigali-cafes/rz-manna">Rz MANNA</a>, because they'd seen her "around" (natch) and managed to fill up both. Sigh. Although Bourbon Coffee at Kigali City Tower was highly convenient for location and internet, she must say Rz MANNA, with its free samples of almond loaf and the like wins. In fact one day Bodaboda Baby actually slipped over on the floor*, much to her humiliation as all the staff rushed to help her, racing to get a complimentary piece of churros in Rz. True. That will serve her right for being greedy. Then there's the chocolate mouse at <a href="http://www.eatinginkigali.com/brioche">Brioche</a>...She didn't manage to find a bath plug for the bath tub in her hotel at Bethany Investment Group (the Presbyterian Church mob) but the cakes certainly made up for it. Kigali, she'll be back. <a href="http://www.livinginkampala.com/reviews/cafes/prunes/">Prunes </a>Kampala, watch YOUR back. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">When I was in school, I remember this stupid joke: </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Q: "Why can't Roy ride a bike?"</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A: "Because he's a fish."</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Remember, I grew up in Australia. Obviously you may not be able to make the same joke in Uganda, because for all you know Roy could be riding a bike, even if he is a fish.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Check the shot, taken by <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><a href="http://facebook.com/1MzunguGuy">Guy Smith</a> of <a href="http://www.kimbla-mantanauganda.com/">Kimbla Mantana</a>, and sent in by <a href="http://thepearlguide.co.ug/">The Pearl Guide</a>. "Notice how the boda seat had to take a seat on the fish!!" they point out.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Yesterday I went to Kabalungi in Lwengo District for an AFRIPads school visit. I went on a matatu (minibus) taxi as it's the cheapest and quickest way of getting there from Kampala. A round trip of about 15,000 shillings and a five hour trip. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">But I could have, should have gone on a bodaboda, my good friend Tinka Teddy, who travelled all the way to nearby Masaka, about 100km outside the capital, on a motorbike just two days earlier. Coulda, shoulda, I thought when she briefly relayed to me her epic journey when I later saw her. I didn't think much more about it, but as I was sitting in the taxi park, meat-on-a-stick and various holograms of Jesus being shoved in my face, waiting for the vehicle to fill up (game of Stacks On, anyone?) I had one thought: how the hell could you go so far on a boda? Not one of those cross country bikes, but a boda. So I asked her about this:</span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I think the ride was great knowing that the driver was a careful one. That was my first time to ride on a boda (for) such a long distance.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="font-weight: normal;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">I was researching places to go to for interviews about people who make barkcloth, and Buddu in Masaka is a place known for that. I went <span style="font-weight: bold;">to Butende, Masaka, Natita and Nkoli .</span></span></span></div>

</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-weight: bold;">
</span></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Riding at the back of the bodaman was so cool. Of course at first I wondered how safe it would be, wondered if the driver wont doze (off) on the road. But after we'd gone about 20kms all felt normal and so (I) concentrated on enjoying my ride.</span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Not at all, it was great.I mean the feeling (was great). Maybe when I first came up with the idea it scared me, but after a while I got used to it. To make it even better,t I went with a friend and so only spent 40,000 shillings. I would have spent 60,000 if I'd used a taxi or bus. And in less than one-and-a-half-hours I had reached where I wanted to go. I moved to three locations, each distant form the other, still on that 40,000.</span></div>

It is good because she can get her money. Even I wanted to teach even my wife how to drive. It's good, because if she can drive I can buy for her a motorcycle and she starts working.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="text-align: left;">For some reason I don't imagine any of my boda drivers doing things like getting dressed up, going to church and getting married - they seem way too tough and cool for all of that stuff. And I picture them glued to their bikes, as many do long hours on the roads. But here were the photos of my new rider Ali to prove it. There was the shot of him, his new wife Patience , whose dress would put those on My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding to shame, sitting on his lap at their January 2011 nuptials. </span><span style="text-align: left;">Alivas Niwamanya, </span><span style="text-align: left;">who I sometimes think only looks about 12 but is actually 25, putting cake in Patience's mouth. In another snap they are proudly posing with the wedding party, Ali holding their marriage certificate.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But these weren't the photos that stuck out the most to me when Ali, my driver of just three weeks, invited me to his home in Kyebando, Kampala, where his wife immediately thrust their family album into my hands. Sadly the snap that I remember most is the one above of my driver with a leg in his cast after a car knocked him off his bike last September. Ali, who luckily was wearing a helmet and escaped more serious injuries, has kindly let me take a photo of this and post it here to highlight the<i> </i>dangers of boda accidents.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;">I'd just about given up on tracking down one of Gulu's elusive female boda drivers when there she was right before my eyes: Keddy Olanya, a 32-year-old rider who is a teacher by trade but moonlights as a motorcycle taxi on weekends and school holidays to make more money. I couldn't believe it. I'd had a source (aka my mate Will) scouring the northern town for a couple of months. He'd come up with one, but I'd been informed by him the day before arriving in </span><a href="http://bodabodababy.blogspot.com/2012/12/q-what-two-types-of-bodas-should-you.html" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;">Gulu</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;"> that she was now on maternity leave.

It had to be, no correction </span><i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;">it was</i><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;">, fate. I practically abducted her (sorry for the connotations, but there's no other way to describe this) and took her back to <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Coffee-Hut/153800044633884">The Coffee Hut </a>to get her story.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's not known exactly how many female boda drivers there are in Uganda, but it's thoughts there's only a handful, if that. The Daily Monitor recently carried a <a href="http://www.monitor.co.ug/News/National/Female-boda-boda-cyclist-rides-route-where-few-women-dare/-/688334/1849250/-/r82nti/-/index.html">story </a>on 48-year-old mother of six, Matilda Igama (Bodaboda Baby wonders if she's part Australian), a rider in Madi sub-region who recently clocked two years on the bike. Breathtaking. The Monitor has previously reported on <a href="http://www.monitor.co.ug/artsculture/Reviews/Female-boda-boda-rider-finds--her-place-among-men/-/691232/1448450/-/v8yxk9/-/index.html">other </a>women drivers.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Keddy told me she'd been a teacher for one year in <a href="http://www.lcmt.org/uganda/pader/lapul/koyo/lukome">Lukome</a> village when she realised she could make more money by taking on the boda driving gig. This was five years ago.</span></div>

It was only a two minute ride and as she'd explained to me earlier most of the time the fare in Gulu only comes to 1,000 UGX. Which made me wonder when I later saw a "low cost" boda stage how much you'd end up paying? Next to nothing? Although as a friend also pointed out, it might be "low cost" but "stuff happens" (see pic below).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Following my two boda accidents and the sad news about </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/565397663480798" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Allison </a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;"><a href="http://www.facebook.com/events/565397663480798">Malacara</a> (I'll hopefully have a tribute post to her up soon), it's time to rewrite my </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 16px;">boda rules. Number one (this will really get me in the good books with Mum): no helmet, no boda. Yes, of course it's BYO helmet for the author of this blog. In fact I just walked back home from <a href="http://www.inkampala.com/cafe-kawa-hits-the-mark">Cafe Kawa Muyenga </a>in the dark, rather than go less than a kilometre down the road without a helmet on as I didn't take it with me. But from this day onwards <a href="http://www.facebook.com/BodabodaBaby">Bodaboda Baby</a> will not (not) continue to keep drivers who do not wear protective headgear in business and on the road. She does not care how late she is, either.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">A brief explanation for this: 1. The selfish reason - buying, maintaining and wearing a helmet (ON YOUR HEAD, AS OPPOSED TO THE FRONT OF <b>YOUR BIKE</b> <b>WEARING IT</b>) demonstrates that you value your life. Not buying, not maintaining and not wearing a helmet shows you do not value your life. If you do not value your life you are not going to value the life of your passenger. Simple.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">2. Yours truly refuses to be implicit in the death of someone on the road, a driver who has been transporting her. Someone who likely has a family and friends and had the potential to make a contribution to Ugandan society.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">So no helmet = no boda. That's it. And the author of this blog will not be afraid to tell drivers (even at the risk of sounding like her mother, and that's a great risk, JOKE) upfront that she will not swing even one leg over their bike until they put a helmet on, which is what she told Ali, 25, when he stopped for her out the front of <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Prunes/269221023158025">Prunes</a> this afternoon.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">Ali, as he confessed to Bodaboda Baby, is a rider of two years originally from <a href="http://katelemasurier.blogspot.com/2013/02/bits-of-my-holidays-boda-ride-kabale-to.html">Kabale</a> who was given a helmet when he purchased his bike in Kampala. Unfortunately, he lost it. Let us not hold that against him. The author of this blog would lose her own head if it wasn't screwed on. She actually lost a couple of her own helmets last year. So she is not one to judge on this occasion.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">But - and here's the nub - Ali (by the way isn't he cute? If only he were a few years younger...) did not go and purchase another helmet. Actually, I'll let him off, again. Bodaboda Baby will confess that there was a period of a few months last year after she lost a helmet where she did not replace hers. It was only after bumping into a friend out the front of Garden City, who'd just had a boda accident and had been to buy a helmet, that she decided to take action. Again, let he/she who is without sin cast the first stone etc etc</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">After recent events, however, yours truly no longer gives a used lipstick about messing up her blow dry by wearing a hard hat, and she now has zero tolerance to drivers who don't share her views. This afternoon though Ali, who spent a month in hospital last June after a car knocked him off his bike, was given a second chance after the author of this blog all but gave him a "contract" to chauffeur her around Kampala when he went across town and bought a new helmet, especially for her. (She use the term "contract", although most boda drivers she's heard use the phrase have done so loosely. It seems that to most "contract" means being a regular driver, not actually having something in writing).</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yours truly, sporting a short black and white polka dot dress, had simply refused earlier to get on his bike, ordering him to go and buy helmet as a matter of priority if he wants to be her boda man. To her shock, he said he would do just that. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">BB gave him a week. She nearly fell down a pothole when Ali rang her, about 30 minutes later, to tell her he was on his way to Acacia Avenue, where she now was (just guess what she was doing?) and that he had new armor. Wow, the Gestapo-like tactics she picked up from her mother must have really worked (<b>JOKE</b>).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"I'm happy (I bought the helmet)," said her new taxi, who swore black and blue he purchased (not stole or borrowed from a mate) the electric blue number from downtown. Considering how shiny it looks, Bodaboda Baby will give him the benefit of doubt. Sharp colour.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Ali said he earns about 50,000 ($19.56) on an average day.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"<span style="line-height: 16px;">If I can get (more) money, I can start a business, like a shop (in the future)," he said.</span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With Bodaboda Baby now on his books, anything is possible. Ali, in fact, even told the author of this blog, only an hour or so after meeting her, that he might go to "America, where you're from".</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="line-height: 16px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He's so keen that he also rang her, only an hour ago, to ask "where are we going tomorrow?"</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 16px;">She didn't have the heart to tell him about the song called <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S4kzGhDEURA">If Tomorrow Never Comes</a>, which was only released for occasions like this.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If my time in Uganda has taught me anything, it's that when you're least expecting to see something there it will be right in front of your eyes; when you go searching for it you won't find even a trace of it. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Take, for instance, my hunt for a Wallabies jersey, a little slice of Down Under in the <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/europe/travel-tips-and-articles/76856">Pearl of Africa.</a> To be honest, I'm not a great rugby fan although will take it over rugby league and when one is away from home one can often start to feel more strongly about supporting one's team. And where else am I ever going to be able to snap up a top for $3.72 AUD? According to some research I've done, back home they retail for $129 (please correct me if you've seen them cheaper). But the many times I've come across a Wallabies jersey roadside, despite marveling at it I've passed it up.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So last Saturday, with my friend </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Silver-Kayondo/443323219061944?ref=ts&fref=ts" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Silver Kayondo</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">, I decided to go to Owino markets and do an experiment to see how long it would take me to find a Wallabies jersey. I left empty-handed (well as far as the jersey was concerned).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I'd been certain that I'd find <i>at least one</i> amongst the hundreds of sporting labels on display. Going for gold, in other words. But even though I had Silver with me to help with the search I had no such luck.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was so confident that a </span><a href="http://www.rugby.com.au/wallabies" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Wallabies</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> jersey would show up at what is one of Africa's largest outdoor markets, even if it had </span><a href="http://www.simba.fm/2013/04/07/fire-guts-owino-market" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">burnt down recently,</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> that I'd even taken bets on how long it would take for the zealous vendors to unearth me one.

He'd purchased it "DT" (boda speak for downtown), apparently. This had to be an omen. I knew I was going to go home from Owino (via bike, of course) wearing an Australian rugby jersey.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I said, politely, thanks very much but no. Even though I could buy the Gold Coast cap and wear it with the shirt, I had my heart set on a Wallabies jersey and I was sure that one would "turn up somewhere".</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Feeling slightly dejected, Silver and I decided to call it a day and head to the nearby Mr. Tasty. In retrospect, I am actually glad I didn't find the Wallabies jersey there and then, as I've come to realise that I like the thrill of the chase and half the fun with trying to find anything in Uganda is looking and seeing what else you come across in the process.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Also I hadn't been to Mr. Tasty and was quite curious about it, and still am, especially as it's slogan is "the food that makes you go hmmmmm", as a friend Sarah later pointed out. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another friend, Hilary, pointed out do you wonder "hmmmm" as in "hmmm, how long have these chapatis been sitting here for? In hindsight, it may be a good thing that the author of this blog chose only a </span><a href="http://www.facebook.com/cocacolazerouganda" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Coke Zero</a>, although Silver had a <span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">kebab which he said was great. I've since found a blog which describes Mr. Tasty as "close enough to KFC". According to Sarah, who has studied this </span><a href="http://edithcc.wordpress.com/2012/02/01/more-kampala-pics/close-enough-to-kfc-mr-tasty-kampala" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">photo</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> hard, it's a "dead chicken..or something similar...like a cat! Hmmmm." Hilary meanwhile identified it as a "kind of funny shape...a squirrel McNugget?"</span></div>

This first was that we met this lovely woman, below, who appeared to be on her way to a <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/jubilee">Jubilee party</a>, but running months late, in a stereo shop DT. She kindly obliged when I asked if I could please take her snap. Was she going on Ugandan time or mzungu time, I wonder? Just kidding. <a href="http://globalvoicesonline.org/2012/10/10/uganda-marks-50-years-of-independence">Independence?</a> What Independence?? Just kidding. My friend Jennie, she who painted the Union Jack on her toes before she hosted what was Kampala's best Jubilee party last year (pic below) was very disappointed that I'd met this woman nearly eight months later, otherwise she could have joined us for our festivities then.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So sang the Bangles, and that's exactly how Bodaboda Baby felt this morning. She was also in a dream at six o'clock, although it didn't have anything to do with kissing Valentino. Rather it was a dream - nightmare - about having nits after buying a South Sydney Rabbitohs hat at Owino market, which ended up with her waking up and nearly tearing all her hair out (more on this in the next post).</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After an evening swim at Speke Resort she perked up. But it was after coming across THE FLASHY BODA below that she felt like she was sleeping in a rosebud, to quote Marnie, one of the characters from her new favourite TV show Girls.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bodaboda Baby was keen to know what Donna, who has travelled around Africa but not been to Ug, thought of the country and its ubiquitous boda boys after watching the show. Here's some of her thoughts via Twitter</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Loved it, can't wait for nxt week. K looks v diff to N (Nairobi) from what i cld see. Traffic looked worse, more bodas, and more stylish than N." (That's after the first of the two episodes. Yep don't we know that Kampala's more stylish than Nairobi?)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">*More inclined to take a boda there (Kampala) than N."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then this:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"Bodaboda drivers looking just as fashion conscience in rural Ug as they do in Kampala, as far as I can tell from #TopGearAfrica."</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"He (Clarkson) said its a genuine law that u dnt have to wear a helmet if u just bn to the salon!!! Thought that was awesome!" (NB: Bodaboda Baby is still seeking clarification on this from the Ugandan Inspector General of Police, and despite having her hair done while Top Gear Africa was airing on the other side of the world, her side of the world, put her helmet straight on after her blow dry).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There's been so much boda and boda-related news breaking the past few weeks that the author of this blog has had a hard time keeping up with it all. But here's a brief rundown of what else has been making headlines:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* According to a nib in last Saturday's <a href="http://www.newvision.co.ug/">New Vision</a> newspaper headlined "<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Bodaboda man bathed in public", a cyclist was discovered having a bath by his colleagues at the Wandegeya stage on Makerere Hill Road. According to the report, his fellow riders felt it necessary to carry out the operation to rid their stage of dirty colleagues. The smelly rider was undressed and washed three times as residents cheered, then given 10 strokes of the cane before the other drivers raised the money for a bar of soap and clothes for him. Ouch. At least he got a new wardrobe, free, after all that pain.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">* Life in Uganda's already tough enough for women, including female boda passengers and drivers, if a <a href="http://www.bodabodababy.blogspot.com/2013/04/breaking-no-more-minis-on-bodas.html">proposed miniskirt ban</a> becomes law. (NB: this Bill just doesn't affect miniskirts, it affects media freedom and many other rights, although the local and international media have focused heavily on the miniskirt factor. To understand what it really means you can read a great blog post by prominent Ugandan journalist and blogger Rosebell Kagumire <a href="http://rosebellkagumire.com/2013/04/08/pornography-according-to-lokodo-part-i">here</a>).</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; text-align: -webkit-auto;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">However now comes the news, via the <a href="http://www.newvision.co.ug/mobile/Detail.aspx?NewsID=641523&CatID=465">Sunday Vision</a>, that 120 + beauty creams on sale in Uganda could kill us. And to think all this time we thought it might be <a href="http://blog.foreignpolicy.com/posts/2012/03/07/guest_post_joseph_kony_is_not_in_uganda_and_other_complicated_things">Kony </a>or ebola*. Oh dear. The of this blog, who already cakes her face with quality foundation to stop the dirt getting in while she's on her bodas, is so worried about this that she has cut out the Sunday Vision's list of the deadly potions. She has stuck it on her bathroom wall and is now memorising each and every all while she brushes her teeth. *sarcasm</span></span></span><span style="text-align: -webkit-auto;"><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">Meanwhile the Daily Monitor reported just one day after the beauty cream scoop that <a href="http://www.monitor.co.ug/News/National/Power-cuts-to-resume-in-6-months/-/688334/1741146/-/1kd7wi/-/index.html">power cuts</a> will resume in six months time (read: you will have buckley's chance of being able to carry out a good blow dry, ladies of Uganda). So between miniskirts being outlawed, lethal lotions and potions on sale and zero power, the author of this blog is wondering is there even any point in trying to look good ahead of her </span><span style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">boda rides?</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="text-align: center;">* More news from Australia. According to <a href="http://www.news.com.au/business/companies/yamaha-to-make-500-motorbike-in-india/story-fnda1bsz-1226617779140">this story</a> I spotted recently via www.news.com.au, Yamaha will make a $500 motorbike (that's </span><span style="text-align: center;">1.280,000 </span><span style="text-align: center;">Ugandan shillings) in India. The "world's cheapest motorbike" </span><span style="background-color: white;">will be sold first in India and then exported to Latin America, Africa and the "factory to the world" China, according to the yarn. Bodaboda Baby wonders if these bikes will show up on the streets of Kla, as she's told there are many Indian-made bikes here already. This could make Uganda even more </span>boca-tastic.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before bodabodas were crashing with the author of this blog on them, they were crashing with Sorin, above, the author of <a href="http://www.kikijourney.com/">another blog</a>, on them. There wasn't a great deal of time between our crashes, either. Such is life in Uganda. Sigh.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Regular readers of this blog will recall that I came across Sorin's post, "<a href="http://www.kikijourney.com/first-boda-boda-crash-and-last">First Boda Boda Crash"</a> while writing an account of my own accident.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 23px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>"Noticed the sign for my accommodation place and then suddenly the crush happened," writes Sorin, who had travelled from <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/uganda/western-uganda/fort-portal">Fort Portal</a>, where he'd been volunteering in an orphanage, to <a href="http://kabiza.com/kabiza-wilderness-safaris/blog/crater-lakes-in-uganda">Crater Lakes.</a></i></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 23px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>"I a second I was down, the wheel crossed a little over my chest, my hands were walking on the gravel! Managed to stand up in seconds and first was the damage control look. Head was in good shape, only a small bruise on the chest, the leg a bigger bruise but no bleeding. The bad parts where only the right hand and the elbow; both bleeding with some superficial cuts."</i></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After reading on, I was particularly amazed by Sorin's ability to do special effects with iodine and cotton wool (see pics below). Only unlike <a href="http://www.facebook.com/BodabodaBaby">Bodaboda Baby</a> the Romanian, who's spending six months or so on the trip of a lifetime which began with Uganda, isn't on his way to <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2210736/David-Walliams-reveals-checked-Priory-following-breakdown.html">The Priory </a>for iodine addiction. Or at least this is what he claimed during a coffee we had earlier today at Javas Oasis Mall. Well, boda crash survivors do need to stick together after all.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Sorin, 30, sustained grazes on his hands along with bruises on his chest and legs, in his accident. Ouch.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"(But) the recovery went very well, I think because of local medicine," said Sorin, who used a local plant called <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 23px;">enmabarasana (or so we think), given to him by a hostel owner, for his wounds. (NB: cannot find any information on this plant on the internet, so if anyone can shed any light on it please let us know).</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">He described the pain after the pharmacist put iodine on his wounds as "unreal". But three weeks after his accident Sorin was "back to normal".</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was sad to hear however that he's also been the victim of a robbery, with the thief a - gasp - boda driver. Sorin was taking a boda from <a href="http://www.monitor.co.ug/News/National/Boda-boda-cyclists-attack-police-officers/-/688334/1727678/-/o1c4eu/-/index.html">Jinja Road</a> to <a href="http://www.backpackers.co.ug/">Mengo Backpackers</a> when he was "hijacked", with the help of another driver, and robbed before the duo fled. Sadly, there are good eggs and bad eggs in this world, and it turns out that there are even bad egg boda riders.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

According to the report, which quotes an earlier <a href="http://www.newvision.co.ug/news/641674-over-2-000-boda-bodas-impounded-in-kampala.html">New Vision story</a>, some cyclists whose bikes <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">were seized were carrying <i>up to seven</i> school children in various Kampala suburbs. Crikey. <i>Up to seven.</i> The most the author of this blog has seen is five. The Urban Africa piece also mentions an <a href="http://allafrica.com/stories/201203261339.html">All Africa report </a>which claims about</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"> 80 per cent of 20 to 30 years-old are earning a living through bodas.

Follow-up from my (first, but not my last - shock) boda accident.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Awww, these people are no fun. Bodabodas a no-no in this zone.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was sitting in <a href="http://www.cafepap.com/locations2.htm">Cafe Pap</a> at Garden City, the "Capital of Happiness", or so its sign proclaims (there's also a Cafe Pap near Parliament which boasts the same thing - I still haven't figured out which one is happier) about a week after my <a href="http://www.bodabodababy.blogspot.com/2013/03/inevitable-my-first-boda-accident-in.html">boda accident</a>, again enjoying one of their lovely hot chocolates which spoke to me (see pic below), when my phone rang. It was a traffic officer from Kira Road police station enquiring how I was and if I could please come to there now to give him a statement. It was about a week after my accident. I was quite surprised. I never thought I'd hear from the police after walking out of Mulago Hospital after the crash.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was slightly nervous about going in to give a statement, as to be honest I'd heard a lot of bad things about the police. One friend had told me I was lucky that they hadn't asked me for money on the day of the accident. I'd heard stories of people being asked by officers for petrol money and lunch so they could investigate cases. But now that the <a href="http://www.independent.co.ug/news/news/7025-uganda-police-named-most-corrupt-institution">police</a> were ringing me, although I was slightly scared about talking to them even though I wasn't the one who had been in the wrong, I wanted to go and give a statement as it appeared they were doing their job.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The officer on the phone had also mentioned wanting to see what "my interest in the case" was. My "interest in the case?" Ummn, I was the author of what I assumed was the world's only boda blog. I had a lot of "interest" in this case. I wonder if I'd be able to get them to do a guest post? So I gulped down my hot chocolate that had said "welcome" (gone were the days when my beverages greeted me with "hello beautiful", sigh, and walked outside to get Mike, one of my regular boda drivers, to take me to the cop shop. I wanted to take a friend with but there was no-one I could call at such short notice. A boda who knew me was the next best thing.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When we got to the station I phoned the officer who'd called me and he told me he was on his way. In the meantime a man dressed in a shirt and tie who said he was an inspector started talking to me and asked me what I was there for. I told him and he took me into a crowded room to wait for the other officer. There were wooden chairs. I expected the officers there to be working on cases on computers, but when the particular traffic officer arrived, wearing a white uniform and black beret, he walked over to the desk with a white piece of paper and ruler, the plastic 30cm type I hadn't used since school. Looking back now, I can't help but wonder will these be the rulers that will measure hem to knee, if <a href="http://stream.aljazeera.com/story/201304082218-0022664">miniskirts </a>are actually banned?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"It was a serious accident," the traffic officer said. I didn't need to be reminded although I was relieved to hear that both the driver and the pedestrian, who had been hit when she'd jumped out in front of the bike, were alive and well. After ruling up the page, he asked me to write down my particulars - name, date of birth etc - and then my statement. I wrote down exactly what had happened - that a pedestrian had walked out right in front of a </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">boda taking me from Kisaasi into town and that the driver had no time to stop. I stated that the driver hadn't been speeding and it wasn't his fault. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"What are your interests in this matter? Do you want to have that woman taken to court and do you want compensation?" the officer asked. I was completely shocked. I'd only been thinking of a guest post. I don't know why, but I assumed the pedestrian didn't have a lot of money. Then again she could have been <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yoweri_Museveni">Museveni's </a>12th cousin removed. But I didn't want to have anyone charged - I was just relieved that all three of us were alive and well. Also I doubted dragging someone through the courts in Uganda was a simple process. So I told the officer no. "Good," he replied. "Because I don't think she's got much." It was a relief to know that I wasn't passing up an opportunity to have a night out at <a href="http://www.pyramids.co.ug/">Pyramids Casino</a> with my windfall. "You are very forgiving," the policeman added.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I made a point of writing in my statement that I was glad that I was wearing a helmet and that more people should wear them, but pedestrians should also be careful when crossing the road, and that I was glad the police were taking a statement off me. After I finished it I signed and dated it. I was relieved when the officer told me that as a result of me stating that the accident wasn't the driver's fault that he'd get his bike back. After all, it was his <a href="http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Jobs-Career/Boda-boda-trade-improves-lives-of-riders-in-Gulu-town/-/689848/1745836/-/9su4e1/-/index.html">livelihood</a>.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Before I left, I made another point of saying to one of the officers that I was glad that I was wearing a helmet and that I thought everyone should wear them. After all in <a href="http://sarahscheenstra.blogspot.com/2009/08/rwanda-land-of-rolling-hills-no-plastic.html">Rwanda</a> <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">boda drivers by law must wear helmets and also have helmets for their passengers. My friend and former mzungu in Kampala, Mark Daku, wrote a great post on bodas and helmets. According to him, </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">only 30 per cent of boda drivers here regularly wear a helmet. He also mentions what is one of life's (or at least Uganda's) greatest mysteries: </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">why many drivers own <a href="http://sbfphc.wordpress.com/2013/03/10/working-toward-increased-helmet-use-among-boda-riders-in-uganda/">helmets </a>and attach them to the front of their bikes, instead of wearing them.</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;"> Most significantly, Mark notes that boda drivers are "</span></span><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">known for their style" in Kampala. "Actually, I think most of them are trying to be Kanye West", he remarks. But some of the "more stylish" and younger drivers wear the headgear. So the excuse that the helmet isn't hip "doesn't wash".

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">The officer assigned to my case told me in Uganda helmets for passengers were strictly BYO. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">Who was I, a mzungu, to argue with him? I had my helmet, which I now planned to spray paint bright green (thanks <a href="http://hilaryheuler.wordpress.com/">Hilary Heuler</a>, for the idea). Before I left though I thought I'd have a crack at seeing if I could get a guest post for this very website. So I whipped out my my laptop, stuck my dongle in and logged on. Several officers, along with others, crowded around my computer. Smiles spread across their faces, but I was told no they wouldn't be able to write me a piece. I had to try. Since I've failed, I hope this story is good enough.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Two weeks later, I was on my way into town from <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=Munyonyo+Uganda&hl=en&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=MhBrUbSUDsTBtQagmoHIBA&sqi=2&ved=0CEIQsAQ&biw=1024&bih=597">Munyono</a> when I had another accident. The exact same thing happened, this time as I was being driven through Bunga. My driver (a different one) hit a pedestrian who who'd walked out right in front of him. The bike went over and suddenly I was on top of the rider. Again, thank God I was wearing a helmet, although I now had a cut on my right leg, in nearly the same spot my left leg had been scraped a fortnight earlier. I couldn't believe that I'd been in another accident. To think that only two weeks I'd joked that I'd never pen a blog post titled "My second boda accident". This time I got up, got straight in a matatu and went to the same chemist in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabalagala">Kabalagala</a> that I'd visited two weeks earlier for iodine. She </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px;">couldn't believe it, either. Oh well, at least I'd have matching legs now. I wonder how many people the world over have gone into rehab for iodine addiction? </span></div>

"<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Riding a bodaboda is probably safer than
you think it is. And it’s basically necessary for day-to-day functioning in
Kampala, Mbale, and most large cities in Uganda; their economies would crater
without the only real public transport that boabodas facilitate.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But that’s not to say they’re altogether
safe, as research from <a href="http://mak.ac.ug/">Makerere University’s College of Health Sciences </a>shows; <a href="http://www.monitor.co.ug/News/National/Boda-accidents-cost-government-Shs2b-annually/-/688334/1726058/-/13leixbz/-/index.html">15</a> per cent of <a href="http://www.monitor.co.ug/News/National/Time-bomb--The-inside-story-of-Mulago-hospital-s-troubles/-/688334/1669688/-/13xumh5/-/index.html">Mulago Hospital’s</a> budget in 2008/2009 was allocated to boda boda-related injuries,
and an eye-popping <a href="http://www.nbs.ug/details.php?option=acat&id=1&cid=&a=548#.UWKSS5PDBAg">62.</a>5 per cent of the surgical budget goes to the same. Accidents are, to be sure, all too
common. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Tipping the scale back towards benefit and
away from cost is a boda-centric initiative to increase access to health
services in the mountainous, rural villages of east Uganda. Known variously as
eRangers (the term the producer, <a href="http://www.eranger.com/">The Ranger
Production Company</a>, prefers), mAmbulances, and BodAmbulances, bodas
equipped with a side-car passenger seat are helping pregnant women access
previously-unavailable health care services. The initiative, which began in
December 2010, has seen seven BodAmbulances take more than 4,200 emergency
cases within the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/jun/26/uganda-landslides-dead-villages-destroyed">Budada</a>, Manafwa, and Mbale districts. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The idea of using a motorcycle as an
ambulance isn’t new – the British, French, and Americans did so in World War I
– but Uganda is one of the first countries in Africa to implement it for rural
emergencies. The scheme was thought up by Welsh paramedics and students from
the <a href="http://www.southwales.ac.uk/">University of Glamorgan </a>while on a visit to Mbale, Uganda. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The BodAmbulances are an innovative
solution to a vexing problem as healthcare access for mountainous, rural
villages is notoriously poor here. Sick patients and pregnant women cannot be
expected to walk miles to the health centre, and cars are expensive and often
unavailable – even when they can make it up the mountain. As a result, patients
stay at home and aren’t tended to by a skilled birth attendant or other
healthcare provider.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Indeed, poor access to health facilities is
one reason that Uganda’s maternal mortality rate is stubbornly high – <a href="http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.STA.MMRT?order=wbapi_data_value_2010+wbapi_data_value+wbapi_data_value-first&sort=desc">310</a> deaths
per 100,000 live births in 2010 – and, unlike some of its neighbours, is
unlikely to meet <a href="http://www.un.org/millenniumgoals">Millennium Development Goal</a> (MDG) 5a of reducing maternal
mortality to <a href="http://siteresources.worldbank.org/INTPRH/Resources/376374-1303736328719/Uganda42111WEB.pdf">170</a>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">By reducing the time it takes to get to a
health centre, BodAmbulances are helping to save the lives of mothers and
babies alike. Jayne Brencher, project coordinator for Primary Health Care for
PONT, says, “The clear objective is to reduce maternal and neonatal deaths. And
in that sense, it has had an impact and reduced both dramatically”.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Crucially, BodAmbulance rides are free,
which allows all women in the region access to necessary health services,
regardless of their ability to pay. All BodAmbulance drivers carry a cell-phone
with airtime, and Village Health Team members are trained to call the
BodAmbulance if a woman is in distress. BodAmbulances also serve as an
important conduit between Health Centres and the local hospital, Mbale Regional
Referral Hospital, for cases that require a higher level of care.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This allows the BodAmbulance intervention
to positively affect two of the three components of the <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9579750">Three Delays Model</a>: by
reducing the financial, time, and “exertion” costs of reaching a health centre
or hospital, it decreases the barrier to reaching care; and by giving health
centres an easy way to transport patients to higher-level facilities, it
reduces the delay in receiving adequate healthcare.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a result of their success at saving
maternal and neonatal lives and strong community support, PONT plans to
purchase another 23 in 2013. And the effect the BodAmbulances have had on the
community is tangible, says Brancher: </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">“It began to strengthen the way the
communities help themselves through the <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/katine/katine-chronicles-blog/2010/mar/30/traditional-birth-attendants-ban">Traditional Birth Referral Attendants</a>.

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Bodaboda Baby <i>was</i> going to bring you a follow-up on her <a href="http://www.bodabodababy.blogspot.com/2013/03/inevitable-my-first-boda-accident-in.html">boda accident</a>, after making a police statement on Wednesday, in this post. But following the breaking news that the Ugandan government is tabling a bill to outlaw miniskirts, which the author of this blog is assuming will apply to bodas (she's currently trawling through news reports looking for a clause which specifically mentions motorbikes), she's had to turn her delicate mind to more urgent matters.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes, that's right. For those of you who are yet to hear the news, <a href="http://www.monitor.co.ug/News/National/Government-tables-Bill-to-outlaw-miniskirts/-/688334/1739768/-/p77d82/-/index.html">today's Daily Monitor</a> has reported that sporting a mini "could soon land one in jail or attract heavy fines if Parliament approves a new piece of legislation that seeks to further clarify the offence of pornography in Uganda's laws".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">According to the story, pornography has become an "insidious social problem" in<a href="http://www.visituganda.com/"> Uganda. </a>Those found guilty of abetting it face a fine of 10 million shillings under the draft law or a prison sentence of up to ten years, or both. Streeeewth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The bill "prohibits any combination of the preceding that depicts unclothed or under clothed parts of the human body such as breasts, thighs, buttocks and genitalia, a person engaged in explicit sexual activities or conduct", the paper says.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">One friend, a mzungu who shall remain anonymous, replied to my posting of the story on a social media network saying, "</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Uganda parliament's next genius move....could it be fixing the roads...building roads...providing a decent education system.....offering its citizens some form on health service...stopping itself from stealing its own people's money....paying teachers and other public servants....er no.

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 1.38; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 22px;">Some of the chatter on Twitter - the hashtag #SaveTheMiniskirt soon popped up after the story broke - was particularly entertaining. "</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Some men dress indecently with ill fitting trousers. Where's the Ill Fitting Trousers Bill?" </span><a class="twitter-hashtag pretty-link js-nav" data-query-source="hashtag_click" dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/search?q=%23SaveTheMiniSkirt&src=hash" style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: none; white-space: pre-wrap;"><s style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">#</s><b style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: none; white-space: pre-wrap;">SaveTheMiniSkirt</b></a> pointed out <a href="http://kasabiiti./">@kasabiiti.</a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now let's get one thing straight: Bodaboda Baby has never worn a mini on a boda, mostly out of fear that everyone might end up seeing what she had for breakfast and although she has established there's one power plate machine in Uganda (her addiction in her former life in London) there's not a lot of power (joke). To actually be quite honest, the author of this blog didn't actually bring a mini to Uganda simply because she's much more of a frock girl these days, as people have often commented. But in her time she <i>has </i>been in possession of minis, what you'd even describe as micro-minis. In fact the author of this blog can easily recall a time when she was 17-year-old and at university, and her father was helping her clean her apartment in Sydney. "Pick up that dish cloth off the floor," he instructed. "That's a skirt, Dad," she replied.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With age the hem lines have been lowered. But a large number of dresses that the author of this blog owns and wears on her bodas today are,</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> alarmingly, above or just on the knee.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">She did in fact today go on an epic boda ride in a dress just slightly above the knee (a leopard print vintage </span><a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/TopCategoriesDisplay?storeId=12556&catalogId=33057&geoip=home#slide1" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Topshop</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> number). </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Bodaboda Baby also owns a helluva lot of body con - good body con, Whistles body con, she might add, but still tight.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And, she only has one pair of trousers that she wears in Uganda and is not a jeans girl. So today's front page of the Monitor did set off alarm bells in her head as soon as she saw it. She wonders if she is ever caught abetting pornography in Uganda by wearing a mini, if <a href="http://www.redpepper.co.ug/m7-in-nairobi-for-14th-eac-summit">M7</a>'s officials with the rulers measuring hem to knee will make an exception for her if she tells him it's actually Reiss. Maybe not.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thus, Bodaboda Baby will be watching very closely this yarn (read: antipodean for story), which made <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/apr/05/uganda-ban-miniskirts-womens-right">headlines around the world</a> today. In its coverage of the story, The Guardian said the <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px;">proposed law would "mark a return to the era of dictator Idi Amin, who banned short skirts by decree". The Daily Mail meanwhile pointed out in its headline that <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2304913/Ugandan-women-wearing-miniskirts-face-arrest-new-anti-pornography-laws.html">Beyonce would also be outlawed</a>. Oh dear.</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">According to the Monitor report the draft law ran into early "turbulence" in the Legal and Parliamentary Affairs Committee yesterday after some members expressed "concerns about its implications for freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution". It's worth also pointing out that the Ugandan government tried their miniskirt ban trick <a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7621823.stm">back in 2008</a>. But you never know...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">On the other hand, this could be the excuse that the author of this blog needs to buy a new wardrobe. Silver lining, Bodaboda Baby, silver lining. It may also be worth pointing out there's no mention of banning red and orange lipstick, thick black eyeliner, green eyeshadow and heels. In that case the author of this blog would most likely be sent to Amin's torture chambers and her body thrown in <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lake_Victoria">Lake Victoria.</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">For anyone who does wish to still flaunt it on a bodaboda, not in a mini, there could be ways of getting around this. As <a href="https://twitter.com/_Daveth_">@_Daveth</a> suggested on the Twitterverse, "If someone has a problem with your miniskirt, wear hot pants".</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">But - and this is a <i>big</i> but for Bodaboda Baby - the author of this blog can't help wondering is this really debate about minis and micro minis and mini dresses and hot pants? Is it about fashion at all?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><a class="twitter-atreply pretty-link" dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/njokingumi" style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; text-decoration: none; white-space: pre-wrap;"><s style="background-color: white; text-decoration: none;">@</s><b style="background-color: white;">njokingumi</b></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 18px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> suggested to the Twittersphere, "This is not about clothing.

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* News which is related to fashion though: Bodaboda Baby had her hair cut yesterday by a lovely bloke who also knew what he was doing at Swisscut. Afterwards she did an impersonation of what she might look like on a boda, sans helmet. She'd love to know if she got it right, so if you see her on a boda anytime soon do let her know.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* Of course Bodaboda Baby is wearing a helmet at all times these days - unless Ugandan-born milliner <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.monitor.co.ug/Magazines/Full-Woman/A-Ugandan-hat-designer-exciting-crowds-in-the-UK/-/689842/1740762/-/a8qnei/-/index.html">Linda Nakimbugwe Mirembe</a>, who will soon grace the pages of fashion bible <a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/">Vogue</a> according to a report in the Daily Monitor, decides to do a helmet range, which her friend and former mzungu in Kampala <a href="https://twitter.com/penhallowj">Jennie Penhallow</a> (that's Bodaboda Baby's friend, not the designer's, sadly) has suggested she should do. According to the report, </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;">Mirembe, who's London-based, took </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;">private lessons with the milliner who designed hats for the <a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=Queen+Mother+hats&hl=en&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=cHBgUbTPJtHFswb-rICQAg&ved=0CD0QsAQ&biw=1024&bih=589">late Queen Mother.</a></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;"><a href="http://www.google.com/search?q=Queen+Mother+hats&hl=en&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=cHBgUbTPJtHFswb-rICQAg&ved=0CD0QsAQ&biw=1024&bih=589"> </a></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">* On that note, Bodaboda Baby needs to get her helmet on and get going, but she would like to leave you going into the weekend with this lovely photo below which was taken on Ggaba Road this morning as she was rushing to get to <a href="http://www.lonelyplanet.com/uganda/kampala/entertainment-nightlife/bar/just-kickin">Kisimenti</a>. We know that the president of Uganda <a href="https://soundcloud.com/bbc-world-service/im-too-experienced-to-stand">loves his gig</a>, but now there's someone else.</span><br />

</span><br />
<i style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">After cuts and bruises <a href="http://www.bodabodababy.blogspot.com/2013/03/inevitable-my-first-boda-accident-in.html">last week</a> (I'm now facing rehab for iodine addiction following my boda accident) I was thrilled when Uganda's "undisputed king of comedy" (according to his bio) Kenneth Kimuli aka Pablo agreed to write the next guest post on a con artist driver. </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">"Those guys seem to know everything about nothing," he said. Pablo caught my eye earlier this year with a very funny column he wrote for Uganda's local <a href="http://www.observer.ug/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=23947:pablo-mobile-seats-on-a-strange-bus-ride&catid=47:pablo-humour">Observer newspaper</a> on a bus ride which he took which culminated in a goat going into labour. Bodaboda Baby loves a good dose of comedy - in fact before relocating to the 'Pearl of Africa' she took a comedy course in London, as she felt these might be good skills for Africa. </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">Pablo </span>started
performing Stand Up comedy in 2005 and two years later was invited by legendary actor Robert Redford to the prestigious home of
theatre, the <a href="http://www.sundance.org/festival">Sundance</a> Theatre Lab in Salt Lake City. In 2010 he <span lang="EN-US">was
invited to perform in Nigeria at the <a href="http://africamagic.dstv.com/category/shows/comedy-club-live-in-lagos">Comedy Club Live in Lagos.</a> </span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US"><i><br /></i></span></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><span lang="EN-US">Among other achievements, his </span><span lang="EN-US">plays </span><span lang="EN-US">One Night Stand and Madness is Coming, which went to Uganda's National Theatre in 2006 and
2008 respectively "received a nod from the <a href="http://www.ugandanationalculturalcentre.org/">Uganda National Cultural Centre</a>", Pablo's bio brags. He's the </span><span lang="EN-US">production director of a radio serial drama, Rock point 256, which is
recorded in five local languages, and aired on 13 radio stations in the country. Pablo also starred in <a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0455590">Last King of Scotland</a> as </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">Emily's (Kerry Washington's) bodyguard (she played acted Amin's wife). </span>Phew. </i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>You can next catch Pablo in the act <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">on April 25 at <a href="http://cineplexuganda.co.ug/the-hub-oasis-mall">The Hub</a>, Nakumatt Oasis Mall where he'll be hosting the first international female comedian from Africa <a href="http://www.modernghana.com/movie/5789/3/how-i-get-my-jokes-mandy-uzonitsha.html">Mandy Uzonitsha</a> from Nigeria. Tickets for<a href="http://proggie.ug/events/pablo-the-continental-comedian"> Pablo & The Continental Comedian</a> are 50,000k single and 80,000k for a couple. "We'll have funny man uncle Bob as the opening act and acclaimed band Bonafide to spice up the show," he promises. But first to Matiya:</span></i></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span lang="EN-US"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">"</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">It's only in Uganda where you have to look both left and right before crossing a one-way, with some crazy boda boda motorcyclists who have no sense of direction on our roads.</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">They have taken it a notch higher by even parking on zebra crossings. I used to wonder whether they were mentally dehydrated and then I met Matiya a boda boda cyclist, a father of 17 and expecting the eighteenth next month. He doesn't trust family planning methods but that's beside the point. Matiya has a high self-esteem. I had never met a man who confidently exposes his ignorance with a lot of enthusiasm.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">It was a Monday morning and the traffic jam was annoying. I had to abandon the car at a nearby supermarket and mount a boda boda if I was to be in time for a meeting with the minister. Yes, the minister of the word at <a href="http://fullgospelministries.ning.com/">Full Gospel Church (</a> I wonder if there are some that give half the gospel). This man of the Lord has a good relationship with punctuality so I couldn't afford to be late for the appointment.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">Matiya was the only boda boda cyclist in sight. I asked him how much it would cost to my destination and he told me to get on the bike. "We'll discuss that as we move, time is business," he said. I had no time to bargain so we started the journey.</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">Matiya immediately started telling me how he's disappointed with the society that brands them (boda drivers) as thieves, thugs, cheats, noise makers, rough riders, forgetting that they are also tax payers and entitled to use the road. He warned that one day people will wake up to a country being run by a boda boda motorcyclist. "People don't know that we also watched the black board. I have a diploma in custodian affairs from </span><a href="http://mak.ac.ug/" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">Makerere University</a><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">," he bragged.</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;"> </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span>
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;">The look on his face was so convincing but my conscience was clear that this guy didn't know what "custodian" meant let alone "affairs". I asked him what exactly they taught in "custodian affairs". Matiya authoritatively said, " They teach you how to be steady, and sure." Indeed he was steady but not sure of what he was saying. I then asked him under which faculty is "custodian affairs" and he boldly replied, "Lumumba Hall."</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21px;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">I picked keen interest in Matiya's tales. He is a jerk of all trades and a master of none when discussing politics, sports, farming, witchcraft to mention but a few. He even had classified information. He told me that president <a href="http://www.theworld.org/2011/10/how-gaddafi-is-remember-in-uganda">Gadaffi </a>was related to <a href="http://allafrica.com/stories/200611130699.html">Saddam</a> and that they are the only ones who knew the formulae of making <a href="http://www.independent.co.ug/ugandatalks/2011/08/police-fires-teargas-and-pink-water-to-block-a4c-rally">pink tear gas.</a></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;">Matiya made me laugh when he claimed that the <a href="http://www.newvision.co.ug/news/640768-jiggers-ravage-busoga-family.html">jigger's in Busoga region</a> were a ploy by the opposition to fail the National Agricultural Advisory Services <a href="http://www.naads.or.ug/about-naads">NAADS project.</a> How jiggers and NAADS are related, only Matiya knows. I couldn't get the details since we had reached my destination. I reached out for my wallet and</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; line-height: 21px;"> gave him a five thousand shilling note. He refused it, saying it was his birthday. I had to double the price and give it to him as a birthday present.</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It
wasn’t a matter of if, but when. On Tuesday morning I had my first <a href="http://www.kikijourney.com/first-boda-boda-crash-and-last">boda</a>
accident. I say first, because let's be honest, there could very well be more. Oh, and one important fact to note: I was on a boda. I wasn’t walking and hit by a boda, which was
the case in Hoima last year. Nor was I accidentally pulling a friend down on
top of me, much to the amusement of Ugandan onlookers, while trying to get on a stationary bike on
the side of the road at Bugolobi, which preceded the western Ugandan incident.
This was a bona fide booty-on-boda (BOB) accident. But I'm pleased to report I got off lucky. It could
have been so much worse.</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes I know, it was all going so well and I’d been reassured by <a href="http://www.bodabodababy.blogspot.com/2013/03/a-miracle-mzungu-who-survived-five.html">Nigel</a>
that a mzungu (foreigner) can survive five years in Uganda without a scrape.
But on Monday morning as I was coming back from speaking to my friend Peter about <a href="http://www.monitor.co.ug/News/National/Child-sacrifice-suspects-charged-with-murder--await-court-action/-/688334/1728636/-/bqes9c/-/index.html">another child sacrifice case</a>, awful beyond belief, in Kisaasi (home to The Big Chicken aka <a href="http://www.facebook.com/SatelliteHotelKisaasi">The Satellite Hotel</a>) I asked my random driver to stop on the side of the road to
look at (what else) a ra ra dress (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rah-rah_skirt">remember the ra ra skirt from the 80s?)</a> with a GREEN bottom. Could things have been different if I hadn’t stopped
to look at this frock, which I didn't end up buying? Possibly. Was this dress also something you shouldn't be seen dead in? Possibly. (Btw, I spotted the same dress in a roadside shop in Kabalagala yesterday. It's a generic number, so can't have that. Sigh).<o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Anyway
onto the story. My driver had left the makeshift boutique and was taking me back into town. I can't estimate how fast he was going, but he wasn't speeding. As we approached
Kira Road, not far from the <a href="http://www.visituganda.com/destinations/central/kampala/?destination=The%20Uganda%20Museum">Uganda
Museum</a> a woman (Ugandan) ran out RIGHT IN FRONT of the boda. Now to be honest, I
have run out in front of cars and bodas on the road. To be honest, life can pass you by as you try to cross the road in Kampala, if you sometimes don't. But do give yourself enough time to make
it. This woman ran out RIGHT RIGHT IN FRONT of the bike, giving the rider no time to
brake at all. In fact when I recalled the incident to a good friend later she
remarked, “It must have been like watching a suicide”. It was indeed. There was nothing the driver could do. Before I
knew it, all three of us were lying on the side of the road.</span></div>

looked up and all I could see were black faces staring down at me. Some details
are blurry, but I seem to recall that we'd landed on the grass (thank God) and I was on
top of the driver. My left leg was tangled up with the rider's, whose bike was
totally smashed, and I had several cuts from the knee downwards and on my right
wrist, plus a lot of gravel stuck on my knee. There was blood on the ground from the
rider. He was bleeding from his chest and nose, a lot worse than me. Meanwhile
I could see the pedestrian lying up ahead closer to the road than us and I was absolutely certain
she was dead.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">To be honest I had no idea what to do. I had never been in a road accident or witnessed a road accident. I
knew I wasn’t dying, but I also knew I should get to hospital or <a href="http://www.thesurgeryuganda.org/">The Surgery</a> to get my injuries
checked out, and take the other two with me, so I untangled my leg and got up. I knew it was up to me to get myself to hospital. I hadn't seen <a href="http://urn.co.ug/a/story.php?s=50089">ambulances in Uganda </a>very often. I do remember seeing one coming back from <a href="http://www.thegoatraces.com/">The Goat Races</a> with my parents last
year - it ended up running out of petrol. But even if there
were more <a href="http://mobile.monitor.co.ug/News/-/691252/1363604/-/format/xhtml/-/ij2q1dz/-/index.html">ambulances</a> around I didn’t have a number and how long would it take to get there in <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-19716687">Kampala's chaotic traffic?</a> And also where exactly were we? Who should I call to come and
get us? One of my best friends Rob, who would probably be the best person to have around in an emergency as he's calm and practical and quite knowledgeable
of Kampala’s hospitals (oh and has a car), had just left the country. Should I
call another friend at work? One regular taxi driver, Carlos, had just had his car taken back
by the owner, so he was no good. Ironically, wouldn’t the quickest way to get
to hospital after a boda accident be a boda?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So
I got up and walked onto the road and got my phone out of my bag. The crowd of
people who’d gathered around me told me to sit down, but to be honest they seemed to be doing absolutely nothing apart from gawking at me, saying,
“mzungu, mzungu”. Sorry, but even now this is a bit of a sore point, so to speak. Please, if you ever come across a traffic accident, do not mill and gawk at the victims.</span></div>

standing on the road I was very dizzy and felt like I was going to pass out,
even if just from the shock of being in a road accident and seeing so much
blood (I am the sort of person who has to be sedated having a blood test or
needle). I quickly phoned another regular taxi driver Jeff* and he said he’d come to
get me asap (thank God he was released from jail last year otherwise I wouldn't have been phoning him, but that's another story).<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

anything to help, and I actually started yelling at them “I want to go to the
hospital”. I searched for Jeff’s number in my phone and handed it to a man, asking him if he could please double check with my driver that he was on his way to the right

handing me a bit of scrap paper which they asked me to write my name and phone
number on. They asked me what happened and I told them that I’d been a
passenger, that a woman had jumped out in front of the boda with no time for
him to stop and that she’d been hit. It wasn't the driver's fault at all. They asked me where I lived. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

driven by security guards, and told me to get into it along with the driver, who
was still bleeding quite heavily. I got the shock of my life
when I saw the woman who’d been hit get up off the ground and into the vehicle. To be honest though, I felt more sorry for the driver, as I watched his bike being towed away on the back of a truck. He most likely has <a href="http://tugendedriven.com/welcome-to-the-rebrand-own-your-own-boda-is-now-tugende">no form of income</a>, after this. <o:p></o:p></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">To be honest this accident was probably the wake-up call I need to be more careful and (Mum, I really hope you're not reading this) to reduce my boda usage, particularly at 1.30am after a night out (Mum, I've only done this about two times). I will also now not travel anywhere, even if it's only down the road, without a helmet on and I have NO sympathy for any mzungu who doesn't wear one - it's now my number one accessory, I'm even thinking of spray painting mine - green - and is involved in an accident.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;">I am getting back on a boda, which I missed desperately when I visited Nairobi, where they don't have as many riders as Uganda, late last year. Even though I am really fed up with iodine pins, I don't believe that these bikes are as dangerous as the local press, local private hires and others make out. I still think that they're the best thing since sliced bread, and that Uganda would be a very different place without them. At the risk of sounding quite emotional about motorbikes, I simply cannot carry on in Uganda without bodas. In fact after Uganda, I think I will need to have some sort of boda in my life no matter where I am in the world.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;">Most of my high school friends left the country to pursue their dreams abroad, some left even before high school ended. Some spent over five, others three years or less, now they are returning home after they’re studies, after they have experienced life in all aspects. They return to Uganda, and what welcomes them? Well teargas and other things that make us wish we weren’t Ugandan. They complain a lot about how life is different wherever they have been, Britain and </span><a href="http://www.newvision.co.ug/news/641036-ugandan-woman-commits-suicide-in-us-over-deportation.html" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;">America</a>, <a href="http://malaysia./" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;">Malaysia.</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: left;"> Some can't even stand the traffic, others go on and on about how the Uganda police are bullies. But I say to them, that’s plain wallowing.</span><br />
<div class="ecxim" style="background-color: white; color: #2a2a2a; font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 17px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes things are bad here some days but not all the time and well….where there is good there is some bad too and as a Ugandan you have to work to change what you don’t like about your own nation. </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Change won’t come in a day, you can’t have change if you don’t change yourself first. You see Uganda is like a broken marriage trying so hard to hold it together. Everyone else thinks you are happy but the people in the marriage know exactly what’s going on. The saying “you don’t look where you fell but where you tripped” comes to mind here. Where we went wrong, that’s where we should look at.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We are all to blame for what Uganda is going through, its international image, economy struggles and we can change that if we try. We have a very beautiful country but we don’t take time to travel and see its hidden treasures, A typical Ugandan would rather take a vacation abroad, in the Maldives perhaps, rather than travel to <a href="http://pinterest.com/aefallon/murchison-falls">Murchison Falls National Park </a>or any other Ugandan destinations. Last year for the first time, I went <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?client=mv-google&hl=en&gl=UG&v=I69y3cup4PI">bungee jumping</a>, where I met this Indian guy who was raised in England. He asked me “which country are you from?” He was extremely surprised to know I was Ugandan.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> After I jumped, the guys supposed to get me out of the jump rope to the raft asked me the same thing. They were from <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Busoga">Basoga </a>working at <a href="http://www.internationalrivers.org/campaigns/bujagali-dam-uganda">Bujagali</a>. Where am I getting with this? The fact that Ugandans hate bursting their bubble. We live in this little thing called “the Ugandan zone” and hate going out of it to explore what’s out there. In our own country, we stereotype that only foreigners should do this and that and give them all this praise and in process we stay in a colonial state of mind. Not even one per cent of Ugandans go out there to see wildlife or anything even if the prices are different for citizens. The only thing they do is hangout and say "I have a heavy hangover in the morning". And when you do something different like kayaking or white-water rafting, they say you’re now “white”. Believe me, I have been ridiculed so many times by some of my friends for doing such.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And then there's the case of the alien, the Ugandan born or raised in the Diaspora. These ones are highly neurotic, they will talk everything bad and sad about Uganda, One of my friends who left Uganda at 12 asked me the other day if that shopping mall I was at in a photo I posted online was really in Uganda. I mean for crying out loud come on! Some have never even been here, but will criticise everything depending from what they see on TV. Ugandans in the diaspora don’t comeback to share their success stories with the less fortunate Ugandans who haven’t seen the world yet.</span></div>

It doesn’t stop there, it goes on and on. When a Ugandan artist is nominated abroad, chances are ninety per cent he/she won’t win that award, WHY? Because we lack the common courtesy to vote .After that, we have the audacity to say that our own people are wack then we get back to watching Nigerian stars and singing like them in process killing our own industry. The tabloids keep kicking even if you’re down, killing any chance of a Ugandan being great at something.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Half of Ugandan people are <a href="http://illiterate./">illiterate.</a> Surprisingly these are the people who support music in a major way. The “hip” ones never go to concerts. Once an artist posts about his concert, he'll get lots of Facebook likes and that’s where it ends! In Uganda, when an artist sings one song he becomes a “star”, does a few shows and that’s it. Automatically people expect him/her to be living large, have a big car and own a house on a hill somewhere, basically be a “celebrity” after he falls off coz of lack of support. That's when the <a href="http://www.redpepper.co.ug/">tabloids </a>remember to write the bad about the situation - “BIG ARTIST NOW BROKE" - and we will in turn buy that and make it trend on social networks because that’s the news of the day. In the process leaving our own people hanging out to dry and for the whole world to see. That’s not love and I'm pretty sure that’s not patriotism either.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If you read books or watch a few films, then you are familiar with <a href="http://www.investopedia.com/ask/answers/08/chaos-theory.asp">The Chaos Theory </a>or The Butterfly Effect: “the supposed influence exerted on a dynamic system by a small change in initial conditions or a theory that complex natural systems obey rules but are so sensitive that small initial changes can cause unexpected final results, thus giving an impression of randomness”. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_effect">The Butterfly Effect</a> sits well with this Ugandan situation. We see a bad situation happening to our own or a good one and we don’t help that person raise it. In the process everything goes down the drain and then we wait for another person to do the same thing all over again, not knowing every little aspect affects us in a way.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">"You’re Ugandan back from abroad. Welcome home". Some never return but keep on frustrating us writing about how Uganda is doing so well basically from hearsay and tabloids, doing all this in the comfort of their living room somewhere abroad. But if you’re here, what have you done to make it better? Are you always going to complain? Won’t you write something good about your countrymen on social networks? Will you, a Ugandan girl go abroad to be a hooker? Just because Uganda is now a "shitty country" and we have potholes? Why do you make so much buzz about international artists and not make that same buzz for your own country? They also became big by being voted by their own people. You can say “totukooya” (translation: </span><span style="background-color: whitesmoke; line-height: 18px;"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">don't make us feel tired, you're killing my vibe)</span></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> or whatever you need to but at the end of the day every decision made by someone else affects you in one way or another. So go out there, be something different, look for things people rarely do and put your emphasis there. Whatever you decide to do, just help Uganda grow because if it dies, the corpse is ours to carry, not anyone else’s.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Not everyone is supposed to be a doctor or a lawyer or a fool who keeps wallowing yet does nothing not knowing they have more control than they can ever imagine. I have traded stories with acquaintances , some boda boda drivers who have built houses and put their kids through school by waking up everyday and riding. But if you look at them, you may think they don’t even make enough to get by. No matter what you do, everyone is part of the bigger picture. We shouldn’t be the monkeys laughing at the burning forest, not if that forest is where we were born and raised! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Yes, these are the times. To be honest it's always these times in Uganda. But now it's also Breaking Boda News time. Don't look so excited, dear readers. Here's two minutes of boda news (maybe a bit longer, because let's face it sometimes things do drag on here in Africa).</span></div>

He describes the Bahai Temple, built in 1958 when Uganda was "thought to be the spiritual heart of Africa" as the "quietest place in Kampala", a lot more quieter than some of the country's roads, where you can even see a cow on a boda.
