Activity 6.1 (f): Comprehension
Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.
My Uganda, My Pride
The number of Ugandans leaving the country to look for “greener pastures” is
alarming. They pursue jobs that pay more than one million shillings per month. When asked
why they choose to do this, many explain their choice by saying that there are few or no
well-paying jobs for the uneducated or half- educated in Uganda. Alas! Are they not right?
It is true that Uganda’s economy is structured

Figure 28: “The Nati

in a way that leaves little space for the development of the uneducated or half- educated. However, how do we explain the action of a qualified teacher who forsakes his/her teaching job in Uganda for a “well-paying one” in another country? One word explains it, “patriotism”. Without patronising individuals who have made the choice, we can all agree that the working conditions in the “promised lands”
are not always the best. Whereas we have had many succeed in foreign countries, we have also heard many stories of Ugandan citizens who have died while pursuing the “favourable jobs”. Some have made it out, barely escaping death, and lived to see another day, while others have lost their lives. One would then ask what stand Uganda as a nation takes in all this. How can it let its people suffer at the hands of foreigners? Well, here is why; there is little or nothing at all that a country can do for her
citizens who very willingly flee to another country. There are boundaries, immigration rules and regulations to be adhered to. All these are constraints as to how much a country can do for her citizens caught up in a political quagmire in another country. As much as a country should do all it takes to protect her citizens, the citizens too should do all it takes to ensure their security. This starts with citizens doing what is
ri ht. How can they do this?

Citizens ought to take full responsibility for their actions and not to blame anybody else. They should expect consequences and be ready to face any penalties that accrue from the law. This includes deportation at the peak of a crisis. Government cannot trespass in a bid to rescue anyone without lengthy offcial negotiations with the country of interest. At worst, one could get oneself incarcerated for sometime.
Nothing should be taken for granted. The example of Ugandans leaving the country in search for jobs is just one case in point of whether or not an individual demonstrates patriotism. That aside, there are very many other ways that patriotism can be demonstrated and you will see them if you look close enou h.

6.2 Patriotic Symbols
6.2.1 Official symbols
Uganda has national symbols that carry a patriotic meaning. The country’s national symbols are what are considered to be the offcial symbols. These include: The National Flag, The Coat of Arms and The National Anthem.

Patriotism
The Crested Crane is sometimes included on this list of official symbols but it also features in The Coat of Arms.
6.2.2 Unofficial symbols
Apart from The National Flag of Uganda, The Coat of Arms, The Uganda National Anthem and the Crested Crane, there are other items and symbols that might communicate a message of patriotism or bring out one’s patriotic feelings.
However, note that these being unofficial, depend on one’s perspective or opinion about patriotism. A logo is an example of an unoffcial symbol of patriotism. A logo is a visual symbol or emblem that acts as a trademark or a means of identification of a company or organisation. Logos are used by different institutions like schools, hospitals and companies. Have you ever seen a logo before? What
characteristics did it have?

Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow.
Veteran’s Day
There was once a man named David who was a United States Marine. He went to a war in a place called Vietnam in 1966 to help bring freedom. After he came home from that war, he kept on being a marine and in 1970 he had a little boy named Patrick, who loved football, beaches, surfing, and skateboarding, and especially reading. Patrick watched his dad be a marine for over twenty years. During this time Patrick
kept reading not only surfing and skateboarding magazines, but history books too.

One day when Patrick was a man, he told his dad and best friend, ‘II want to do something that will make a difference in the world, I’m going to be a soldier.” And so, he did. And in 1999 he went to Fort Knox, Kentucky for boot camp and then went to Fort Polk, Louisiana where he worked and trained hard to become a United States Army Scout… then in 2003 Patrick had to say good bye to his mom and dad
because he had to go fight a war in Iraq to protect his country, friends, and family from terrorists and to help fight for the freedoms of the boys and girls in that country where they and their families were treated very badly by their country’s leaden Patrick once wrote a letter to his mom and dad telling them that he cried for
the children because they were hungry and he didn’t have food to give them. He said he couldn’t understand how a country’s leader could treat the people so badly and make them live in such dirty conditions with trash and wild dogs everywhere. And so, Patrick’s mom and dad keep a photo in their living room of Patrick surrounded by Iraqi children.

Almost a year after Patrick had been fighting the enemy in Iraq so very hard with his other soldier friends he was killed and went to live with God. But his mum and dad were so very proud that he had died while serving others by helping to create their freedoms like the ones he had; that he had never been prouder of anything than
to fight and die with an American flag on his shoulder. That he was never prouder than to be a Unites States Army Calvary Scout. And that he hoped the people of Iraq would someday enjoy the same freedoms that he had enjoyed as an American. So, if it were not for men like Patrick, his dad, and other moms and dads of
today and in the years before today, other people in other countries would never get to live in such freedom and our freedoms could be taken away. The freedom of democracy, a government by the people and for the people, the freedom of speech, the freedom to pray, the freedom to go to church, and school, the freedom to have
equal rights between men and women, the freedom to own a business and homes, and to travel anywhere we want to in our beautiful land, from sea to shining sea. So, we honour the brave soldiers like Patrick thanks to President Woodrow Wilson. One year after the end of World War 1, in 1919, on Armistice (Truce) Day
November 11, the day that commemorated the end of World War 1 on November II, 1918 when the fighting stopped at 11 a.m., the 11th day of the 11th month, a proclamation was created to express the pride in the heroism of those who had died during the war. In 1938 the Congress of the United States declared it a federal holiday. In 1954 the name of the holiday was changed from Armistice Day to Veterans Day to honour all those American Veterans who have served in all wars to protect our country and our freedoms.

So, Patrick and all his soldier friends who still live are veterans and we celebrate
them on VeteranS Day because these brave men and women, too, stand in front of us to protect us and to keep our flag and freedoms safe from those who want to hurt us and our country. God bless all our soldiers, veterans and God bless America.

Activity 6.7(C): Comprehension

The Observer
Museveni: Without love for Uganda, we are flying blind.
Part XXIX of these series is a speech that President Museveni delivered in Kampala to teachers
and students at the launch of the Patriotic Clubs Programme on February 74, 2009. (In this speech, President Museveni speaks about why it is important to love Uganda and its people of diverse backgrounds, East Africa, Africa, and – above all – oneself)
I decided to form these patriotic clubs in schools in order to inculcate the norms and values of patriotism among the youth and students in secondary schools. Education in Uganda has expanded so much during the 20 years of National Resistance Movement (NRM).

In 1986, we had about two million children in the primary schools; we now have eight million children in the primary schools. We had one hundred thirty thousand students in secondary schools; we now have about one million in the secondary schools (2007 figures). It is important, therefore, to ensure that this large number o Ugandans gets a dose of ideological orientation. Knowledge is for a purpose; it i
not aimless. Some used knowledge to enslave others; some people used knowledge to contribute to the welfare of man. What is the strategic goal of the knowledge we are providing? This is the meaning of the patriots’ club.
On this occasion, therefore, I am introducing you to the subject of patriotism. Patriotism means loving one’s country. Indeed, the encyclopedia defines patriotism as “love of one’s country and willingness to sacrifice for it.” What, then, constitutes “patriotism”? The following elements go to make up a
patriotic frame of mind:

1. Love Uganda. What does loving Uganda mean?
   i) It means that you should not be sectarian in terms of religion, tribe, chauvinism or gender. You should value all Ugandans regardless of their tribe, religion or gender (man or woman). This is because not only are they sons and daughters of Uganda, but they are all, without exception, useful to you as an individual ever since you were born.
2. Love for East Africa. We, therefore, must love East Africa because the security of our future demands it. Even in pure’ development terms, East Africa is a better investment destination – it is more attractive for investors on account of 125 million people, a larger and a more complete space (hinterland, coast, a united Lake Victoria,
   larger stretch of the Nile, etc,) compared to only 30 million people of Uganda. Loving East Africa is for the benefit of Ugandans. The Ugandans need East Africa as much as the other East Africans need Uganda. Being unaware of this is a big historical mistake! It is unforgivable!
3. We must love Africa. Africa is a large continent — 11 million square miles — with, now, 900 million people. It is 11 times the size of India, 4 times the size of USA, in land area. The 900 million people of Africa comprise four main linguistic groups: i) The Niger-Congo group of languages (Bantu, Kwa, etc.), ii) The Nilo-Saharan group of languages (Nilotic, Cushitic, etc.),
   iii) The Afro-Asiatic (Arabic, Amhara, Tigrinya, etc,) iv) The small Khoisan language of Southern Africa.
   There is, therefore, basis for working not only for the economic integration of Africa under the African Union Common Market, but also for appropriate levels of other forms of integration that do not prejudice the more viable regional political integration. Therefore, a Ugandan patriot must love Africa.
4. Love the environment. You cannot claim to be a patriot if you do not love and care atX)ut the environment of Africa — the lakes, the rivers, the mountains, the soils, the pastures, the forests etc. These are so vital for our survival that it is criminal not to care about them. When you cultivate on the river banks, you cause the rivers to be filled with soils; instead of having blue waters in the river, you have muddy, brownish water.

5. Know man’s evolution. Consequently, a patriot must be knowledgeable about the evolution of society from primitive communal society, slave societies, feudal societies and modern middle-class society of Europe, America and now some parts of Asia. This is important because we must eliminate the idea that Africa must remain a pre-industrial society, just engaged in agriculture.
6. Finally, love yourself. If you know that you are a patriot and that your family and your country depend on you, you cannot handle your life recklessly. You cannot drink alcohol. You cannot be promiscuous. You cannot be lazy in your studies. You understand and fear God. You should do sports and physical exercise in order to be fit and lead a disciplined life. You want your body, spirit, mind to be in top condition so as to be ready to contribute, to your country, to East Africa and to Africa.

I passed on top of my class at Gulu High and went to Busoga College Mwiri in 1946 up to 1947. I went to do intermediate at Makerere and studied political science and geography. I was given a scholarship by Lango Local Government to do law at Khartoum University. I left Makerere voluntarily, although some people say
I was dismissed because of a food strike. I was a participant in the food strike, but I did not lead it. When Makerere begun in March I did not go back because I was waiting to go to Khartoum.
