Edit this postTHE LATE PRESIDENT OF UGANDA, Idi Amin wanted to change the name of Uganda to Idi. Everybody in his Cabinet agreed because they were afraid of him. But there was one man, Walyamungu.
He said to Idi Amin, Your excellency do you know a country called Cyprus?
Idi Amin said to him,*What does Cyprus have to do with the changing of Uganda to Idi?*
Walyamungu replied, the citizens of Cyprus are called Cypriots.
If we change the name of Uganda to Idi, we, the Ugandans shall be called *Idiots* and the world will call us idiots, which we are not.
Idi Amin looked at him and said *You and I are the most intelligent men in this cabinet*. The name of the country shall remain Uganda and so it remained to this day.
His was a lone voice yet it was stopped the madness of the most despotic dictator that Africa has ever produced.
The silence of good people makes evil to prevail.
