NBS TV news anchor, Canary Mugume decided to take matters into his own hands by reporting singer, Nubian Li to his party superior, National Unity Platform’s Secretary General.
Apparently, a photoshopped image of Canary was posted on social media showing him presenting a news story.
The headline in this engineered photo seemed to bash NUP president Bobi Wine. The singer who is a Firebase deputy took this photo and posted it on his X Twitter page.
He went ahead to applaud the Naguru-based TV station for a job well done in pushing propaganda against NUP. He also alleged that the media house was paid by the regime to do this.
This is something that didn’t sit well with Canary Mugume. He said that with this level of blackmail, he was pondering on whether to continue listening to the singer’s music.
Canary bemoaned that Nubian Li had refused to delete the photo even after being pointed out that it was Photoshop.
Additionally, the journalist questioned whether these are the values that his party, NUP, represents.
With no signs of deleting the misleading post, the journalist decided to take the matter to the party superiors. He said that he had contacted the party secretary general, David Lewis Rubongoya about the issue.
Therefore, Rubongoya in turn promised to compromise with the singer. Eventually, Nubian Li deleted the post after a lot of social media criticism.
“I’ve addressed Nubian Li’s tweet of a fake picture of me to NUP secretary general. He’s promised to advise Nubian to take down the tweet because it’s misleading,” said Canary.
It should be noted that NBS TV is a media house that seems to be creating news about NUP always.
They have been caught hands down creating stories from where there is none, especially against NUP. Perhaps this is why Nubian Li shared a fake photo without thinking.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
