 The previously ended UNAA convention in Chicago probably saw the most fierce campaigns and competition for the UNAA presidency in the history of UNAA, which was born 1988, just two years after NRM took over power in Uganda. UNAA is now 21 years and its politics has also grown to attract the central government’s interest in controlling the organization. The recent convention which took place in Chicago was a manifestation of that. From what I heard, the central government had masterminds draw strategies including dividing the Boston vote so as to block Lt. Musisi from winning the popular vote. If that be true then the strategy worked! However, before I get deep in to that I will start by my narrating my expeditions in downtown Chicago. High on my agenda was to visit several places of significance in Chicago, taste the true culture of the metropolitan city, its sites, attractions, shopping and its cuisines.

UNAA Convention Updates Live! Part 1
Traveling to Chicago was with a few minor incidences, I could not connect to my flight in Hertsfield-Jackson International Airport in Atlanta. The plane landed and got entangled in a long queue, more or less like Matatus (taxis) on Ben Kiwanuka Street, by the time I took a train to my gate, it was too late to catch the plane. Thank God this is not EBB because I was imediately re-booked on the next flight out (in 1 hrs time); Delta Airlines neither asked me any questions nor charged me extra fees. If I missed my flight in EBB I probably would have to wait at least two days or probably a week. However, flying is no longer exciting, given that I checked in one bag and still had to pay for it! What happened to those days when flying was fun? The pretzels they give out taste like eating sponge, those little things have no taste at all! The only fun yesterday was the handsome and young flight attendant who happens to be from France, he heard my exotic accent and sensed I was not from the US. So he asked if I am from Africa. He happens to have been to Cote D'Ivoire and he loved it. I talked to him about the rich and diverse African culture and about African music and of course Myafricanmusic.com. Since I had on board access to the internet, I showed the website and he watched one video of Ndombolo, there wasn't much time so he had to proceed with his flight duties. In a nutshell he was impressed by what he saw and promised to be a supporter and regular listener.
