It has happened to us three times. In the first two, we never took serious note and thought it was the usual stiff competition for jobs.

It is the last one that shocked us. My younger sister responded to a job advert through a recruitment firm and emerged the best candidate after interviews.



The details were forwarded to the prospective employers and it was while meeting them that it dawned on her that she would not get the job because she is from the ‘eating tribe.’ Prior to this, I had been sidelined twice, apparently because of my roots. Shall we continue like this?



We are from Mbarara, our parents are highly placed and both contributed to the liberation of this country, but they have always insisted that would be no ‘favours’ or ‘connections.’

can we say wellcome to the club , this is what all tribes should face, then when we sit down and talk we will all be on the same wave length.

The eating tribe eats what? Not people? Who'd like to share an office with someone whose mouth waters at the sight of your hand, your leg, your ears? Aaaha!!!!

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. (Galatians 6:7). Soon the "Eating Tribe" will begin to reap what they have all along been sowing. It is the reaping part of it which is more pleasant or painful, depending on what one has been sowing. That is the reason why God says "revenge is his", because God knows how to mix the right measure of reaping.



Those of us who were around at the time of Idi Amin remember the Nubbians. These nubbians used to live peacefully in Bombo before they started sowing in Buganda. No one bothered them in Bombo.



Time came when they were fooled into believing that Buganda was a better place for them and that the baganda did not deserve to live in Buganda. Then their "sowing season" started. They became the "eating tribe" of their day. We know how Kampala got flooded of them. In shops, businesses, the Nakasero state research, army, everywhere it was nubbians. They drove the latest cars, they were the bosses. We remember how they mistreated us. Just like the "eating tribe" of today, that was their sowing season. Where are they today? They are reaping what they sow.



You cannot find a single munubbi or maybe there are a very few of them (as beggars) in Kampala.



What are the prospects of the "eating tribe" of today? God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.



As we have opportunity, let us do good to all people (Galatians 6:10), so that the reaping may be pleasant.
