In line with the presidential directives of 18th March, 2020, as per the ban on events that attract large gatherings such as sporting events, festivals, concerts and musical shows, quite a number of events across the entertainment calendar that had been scheduled throughout the year have been cancelled indefinitely as a preventive measure against the spread of the deadly coronavirus pandemic in the country.

However, so many youths engulfed in the entertainment industry countrywide like musicians, comedians, DJ’s, Events promoters, Event’s Organizers, MC’s and others have been severely affected and rendered jobless at the moment as a result of this pandemic.

Moses Onaba, a special hire driver in Soroti is the lucky winner of 96,891,156 Uganda shillings.

This lucky winning ticket had a record 65 matches with only four simple betting options; 1 (home win), 1X (home win or draw), X2 (draw or away win) and 2 (away win).

On how he made it, the winner told us that, “You do not have to be a sports genius to win a bet. You just need to know some basic information about teams, just like me.” On why he selected many teams, Onaba said that, “I wanted to be one of the record winners. I really wanted to also win this big money and indeed now I have it. I have been placing many tickets with just 1000/=. After placing, I keep them and check later. So, this Sunday I decided to check on some of the old tickets that I placed sometime back-all had lost, except ONE, and this won this huge amount.”
Onaba said that he has been betting with Fortebet for the last four years and this is the second time he is winning.
“This is a lot on money, what are you going to use it for?”, we asked him and he answered, “Indeed it is a lot. I am first of all going to immediately buy a plot of land in Soroti and construct my dream house. Secondly, I am driving my boss’ car for the last time because I am going to buy mine.”
Onaba advised fellow bettors not to lose hope. “You will never know the day you will win. You only need to keep trying-you will lose many times but it is from these many loses that you might eventually get the winning ticket, like I did. Secondly, you do not have to bet with a lot of money, just the balances after spending on the other essential needs.”

This money was handed over to him on Monday at the head office in Kololo by Fortebet’s David Sendagire and witnessed by Soroti Regional Manager, Samuel Ibaale.

SECOND EDITION OF ACOLI CULTURAL FESTIVAL A HUGE SUCCESS

Acoli from all parts of the country flocked in droves to witness the annual Acoli Cultural Festival held over the long week at Kaunda Ground. Some people also came from neighbouring districts and other regions to attend the festival.

Speaking at the grand finale of the three-day festival, which started on Wednesday, 13th and ended on Saturday, 14th December with outstanding performances, exhibitions and lots of other activities under theme “Acoli heritage for greater productivity”, The Acoli Paramount Chief, Rwot David Onen Acana II, who also doubled as the main celebrant of the festival, Rwot David Onen Acana II, said Acoli Cultural Festival is an important platform that has been initiated with a major objective of creating new pillars on which Acoli communities can build unity amongst themselves through celebrating Acoli Cultural heritage.

He further said, Acoli must embark in real hard work and production to boost our living in Acoli Land etc. Acoli people need to come together to discuss issues affecting their respective communities and to revitalize the Acoli traditional customs, norms, history and language.

“This is a historic day that signifies our oneness, and to share information across our rich Acoli traditions, history, language, norms and customs,” he stated.

Meanwhile, Deputy Chief Justice Alfonse Owiny-Dollo, who also attended the festival, said cultural events signify human pinnacles and bring to the fore identities of a nation, a society, a community and a tribal group.

“It is at cultural festivals where people gather to share and demonstrate their traditional practices more openly and closely, putting aside their political and social status, and display high levels of tolerance, mutual respect and understanding,” he noted.

The responsibility of Acoli leaders is to identify, develop and promote the material and spiritual culture and heritage of Acoli for the purpose of nurturing national pride and identity.

The Acoli cultural festival exceeded expectations, and that makes this event a truly phenomenal one, he added.

“This festival is one of the exercises defined by the direct involvement of Acoli on their own volition without coercing by the government and other forces

“We must, therefore, spare no effort in building bridges and using culture as a pillar of strength to unite Acoli people,” he urged.

He further appealed to all Acoli to participate in their cultural activities and to uphold traditional values and customs.

In attendance was also the Deputy Speaker of Parliament Rt. Hon, Jacob Oulanya, The President General of the Democratic Party, Norbert Mao, Gulu RDC, Okot Santo, Cultural leaders from all over Acoli and other regions and Miss Tourism Northern Region Queens and others.
