OJJABA, THE GIRL BEYOND MY DREAM. (Part Two)

"My love for you will never dry like Lake Victoria."

Olikwi was a lovely village. The villagers were friendly as they welcomed me as their guest. I felt like the best person ever since I arrived. Many beautiful girls often checked me out, especially when I rode my sports bike. I had a small radio cassette player that I borrowed from Tabu, and with my headset on, I pretended to be untouchable. These gestures caused Ojjaba and other village girls to kneel every time they came to greet us.

As the days passed, Ojjaba grew more intimate with me, yet I remained oblivious to her devoted gestures of affection. To be honest, I had lacked much experience in relationships between boys and girls, so I felt shy even though Tombe stirred my instincts to pursue her. I remembered she would bring some local dishes of Potatoes and peanuts covered with her locally made dish covers.

After a week, I felt homesick and decided to return to our home, then in Agojo. However, I had something to lie about, meeting a girl of my love. When I arrived home, Ojjaba was my chief headline topic, yet something I did not express openly. Luckily, she wrote a letter to me after two weeks later and below is a copy of the letter Jonny brought to me. I have never edited the letter below. I think my girlfriend was among the best at writing letters grammatically.

P.O. Box 99% Love

Date: 3/1/2004

Dear My Pillow, Bosco,

In first place I like to greet you in the name of my love and joy, amen. How are you over there? Backwise I am not find. My heart keep pumping because of you. You know last time when I see you I did not slept, my breasts keep move looking from your kisses. I am write this to tell you that I will come to see you.I do not have more to say but I love you with all my heart. My love for you will never dry like Lake Victoria.

Your lovely sweetheart,

Ojjaba  Bosco.

When I received the letter, I found two enclosed photos. On the back of each photo, an inscription reads, “To my lovely husband”. It took several days to believe myself receiving a letter from a girl I had only seen briefly in the village. I read the letter with enthusiasm. I kept reading it every evening, and I could feel emotionally engulfed. Throughout then, I had blessed nights with many wet dreams.

MAGWI COUNTY UNDER CATTLE ATTACKS AGAIN.

    File Image July 11, 2025. To the Commissioner,  Magwi County Magwi County Maize Crops under Cattle Attack Again I am writing to inform you that Magwi County is once again facing an attack by cattle driven by the Dinka Balalo of Uganda. This is a direct result of an evacuation in response to the President's executive order aimed at stopping cattle-related conflicts in the Acholi region of Northern Uganda. As you may recall, the last conflict in Magwi County, which occurred in February, claimed lives and was not an isolated incident. Similar conflicts have recurred since 2014, when the Dinka Balalo from Bor forcefully entered Magwi County and the Equatoria region. Hon, you and the Magwi County community need to be aware of the potential resettlement of cattle in our lands. Our county's livelihood depends on its fertile soil, whereas the Dinka Balalo's survival relies on milk production. I urge you and your security team to remain vigilant and prevent any cattle ...

IN HIS FOOTSTEPS: The Characters of A Leader's Heart

Meta AI "This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work." 1 Timothy 3:1-7 Devotion 10. July 10, 2025 God's Design for Leadership   God alone is omniscient and sovereign. He designed leadership with specific character traits, appointing humanity to steward the world on His behalf. As we progress through Scripture, we observe God's design for leadership and the character traits required of each individual.   For example, He denied Saul leadership despite the pressure from the people. He chose David from among Jesse's children because David met His criteria, possessing the character and qualities worthy of leadership. In leadership, there are specific characteristics that leaders must embody to lead God's people. Paul listed these qualities in his letter to Timothy, emphasizing integrity, humility, and servanthood as essential for leading the church of God.   The Contrast Between God's Design and the Worl...

ESTABLISH A SEPARATE AND INDEPENDENT DINKA KINGDOM WITHIN THEIR TERRITORIES.” Advocate Kenyi Advises President Kiir

Advocate & human rights lawyer Kenyi YA Kenyi said that Salva Kiir has long abandoned the national interest of South Sudan and instead chosen to pursue a narrow and divisive tribal agenda. From the time he was appointed deputy—based on tribal considerations—during the liberation struggle to all his subsequent roles within the regime, Kiir has consistently implemented policies that prioritize the interests of one ethnic group: the Jieng (Dinka), at the direct expense of the other 63 tribes of South Sudan.   Through his actions and appointments, he has systematically planted the seeds of division, ethnic discord, and mistrust among our people. Under his leadership, South Sudan—a sovereign nation built by the collective sacrifice of 64 tribes—has been reduced to what increasingly appears to be an absolute Jieng Kingdom, with Salva Kiir acting as its self-declared King.   If Kiir remains committed to advancing his tribal project, then we are left with no option but to gran...
