This is one of the most explosive, unfiltered, and intellectually powerful conversations ever recorded on Ugandan media.
In this special episode of The FatBoy Show, James Onen (FatBoy) sits down with Egesa Ronald Leonard — software engineer, CEO, honorary professor of business counselling, and international political & business strategist — for a brutally honest conversation about:
🇺🇬 Uganda’s political reality
🌍 Why democracy struggles in Africa
💰 Corruption, militarism, and the “dictator’s handbook”
⚖️ Opposition politics & the rise of Bobi Wine (Robert Kyagulanyi)
🗳️ Why elections in Africa often fail
🌍 Artificial borders, tribal identity & post-colonial dysfunction
🚨 Refugee economics, Somali migration, and the coming backlash
👀 The future of Uganda, East Africa, and African governance
This is not a conversation you will see on mainstream TV. This is raw, uncensored, and deeply analytical political truth.
Egesa and Fatboy expose:
⚠️ Why most African states are artificial nations
⚠️ Why democracy, as practiced in Africa, is largely performative
⚠️ How corruption is structural, not personal
⚠️ Why opposition leaders would also face the same contradictions
⚠️ The hidden economics behind refugee policies
⚠️ Why Uganda’s political future is headed toward a breaking point
FanBoy and Egesa deliver the most sophisticated centrist analysis in Ugandan media — challenging both government and opposition extremism.
