Kampala, Uganda – Media mogul Nyanzi Martin Luther has sparked controversy with his recent comments praising Ruhamya, the son of General Muhoozi Kainerugaba, for joining the Uganda army, while criticizing Solomon Kampala, the son of Bobi Wine, for proposing to his girlfriend on social media.
Nyanzi commended Ruhamya’s decision to join the army, saying it shows his commitment to serving his country. In contrast, he questioned Solomon Kampala’s priorities, suggesting he should focus on more meaningful pursuits instead of seeking attention on social media.
Comparison of Solomon and Muhoozi’s Son
Nyanzi’s comments imply that Ruhamya’s decision to join the army is a patriotic move, reflecting the Museveni family’s legacy of military service. He seems to be suggesting that Solomon should take a page from Ruhamya’s book and focus on serving the country, possibly by supporting the National Unity Platform (NUP) party.
Reactions on Social Media
The comments have generated a heated debate on social media, with some people defending Nyanzi’s right to express his opinion and others accusing him of being hypocritical. As a supporter of NUP, Nyanzi’s criticism of Solomon Kampala has raised eyebrows.
Implications for Ugandan Society
The debate highlights the complexities of Ugandan politics and the challenges faced by young people from influential families. The comparison between Ruhamya and Solomon underscores the significance of family legacy in Ugandan politics and society.

Patriotism vs. Attention-Seeking: The debate centers around what it means to be patriotic and serve one’s country.
Family Legacy: The Museveni family’s military tradition is seen as a symbol of patriotism and service, while the Bobi Wine family’s opposition movement is viewed as a challenge to the status quo.
