"Am not seeing Bobiwine and we all know🤣"
Patrickannoited turned the tables:
"And after fearing the above-mentioned, Afande, we also fear you. Our next president, 2031 and Beyond."
ninki_kenneth added a constitutional note:
"You should also fear and respect the constitution of the Republic of Uganda."
iamSNK16 brought some humour:
"What about your wife, Afande? Kibooko is waiting for you tonight"
Commanderr001 offered a more sobering observation:
"You should start fearing Ugandans too; you will understand this when Mzee is gone. God bless Uganda."
MugenyiB41014 added another notable name to the conversation:
"Afande, you have forgotten one person you fear most!! Let me tell you that person's name: H.E Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, aka Bobi Wine, our generational president. We fear you too."
