The legendary, all-white-everything man of God, Pr Benny Hinn, finally made it to the Pearl of Africa again, and Rubaga has never seen such holy commotion. Hosted by Pr Robert Kayanja and Mama Jessica Kayanja at Miracle Centre Cathedral, this was not your average crusade. No sir. This was a conference of conferences, complete with flashing suits, handkerchiefs, and glory clouds.

The street talk says it took almost Shs3.5b to organise. The flock came in full force from all corners of Uganda, the region, and even the diaspora. You know it is serious when even the usual suspects dust off their Sunday best and park their convoys in Rubaga.

Thousands of worshippers gather at Rubaga Miracle Centre, led by Pastor Robert Kayanja, to attend a crusade by renowned American televangelist, Pastor Benny Hinn on June 27, 2025. This is his third visit to Uganda as part of his global efforts to spread the word of God. Photo/Sylivia Katushabe

The entire place was full, even the muntu wa bulijjo category were in full numbers, dignitaries, big men and women, and people who are usually very unavailable unless it is a high table wedding.

Pr Benny Hinn, in his signature soft voice and elegant finger waves, estimated more than 20,000 people in attendance.

Of course, Namugongo with millions still wins the attendance award - if you know you know. In one of the most talked-about moments, the First Daughter was seen crying during prayer, raising eyebrows and murmurs across the nation.

Ugandans being Ugandans, immediately began wondering, “Kale what kind of devils are these people fighting?” Anyway, the common saying could be true, the higher the position, the bigger the demons. And just when you thought it could not get any holier, Pr Benny visited Plot 1 yes, State House and prayed for the President and the First Lady.

What a scene! But not everyone was clapping. The First Son, our Kamanda of land Forces and X, did not take it lightly. He jumped onto his favourite battleground, X, wondering aloud how the holy jet made it to Plot 1 without passing through his desk.

Sevo to 2026: This My Year!

Incumbent. Revolutionary. Commanding Officer. Fountain of Honour. Retired Not-Retired General. Grand Pa. His Excellency President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni Tibuhaburwa, I hope I have not left out any of his 18 official titles, has been nominated (again!) to contest in the 2026 general elections.

Proceeds to have national shock… again! Because who saw that coming?

Definitely not us who have seen him on every ballot since Shaka Zulu. With this nomination, Papa will be clocking four full decades in power. 40 years! That is longer than most Ugandans have been alive, which explains why even the vegetation at State House must now speak fluent Runyankore.

Now, in true Ugandan fashion, the NRM supporters made sure we felt the heat, with chaotic footage showing supporters beating up people on the nomination trail, something we, of course, totally condemn.

Politics should not accept goons like these. My boda guy said it best, mid-traffic rant: “We already know who is president. We just want peace.” And honestly, if Ugandans have accepted anything, it is political déjà vu.

So please, let the violence rest, we still have fuel prices to worry about. But on a serious note, Sevo’s energy is unmatched. At his age, walking that fast, standing that long, still remembering speeches, governing a chaotic lot like Ugandans!

All we are humbly asking for, is his diet plug because banange, 40 years in power without looking like 40 years of stress is not normal with the possibility of asking for more!

Big Size spills real TEA

At the recent Bride and Groom Expo, Big Size finally opened the pot and let the tea boil. Yes, he finally told us why he beefs Bobi Wine and no, it’s not about music charts or who has more stage fireworks. Apparently, it’s personal. Like, real personal.

When asked how Zuena and Barbie are still tight, sharing juice, hugs and their children’s playdates while the men are throwing lyrical jabs and political smoke, Bebe Cool explained that back in the day, whenever Barbie had marital issues, she would run to their home, and Zuena would comfort her and convince her to go back to Bobi.

But when tables turned and Zuena left Bebe (remember that breakup?), Bobi Wine did not return the favour. No counselling. No “bro, hang in there.” Just condemnation.

Imagine! Of course, this sounds like just chapter one of a bigger story. So now, we hand it over to our trusted online in-laws and social media FBI. We await the screenshots.
