Her argument is that perhaps they didn’t make enough research before making the nomination list. For example in the group category, in her view, there was no way B2C boys could have missed because they have had a successful year.
“So B2C wasn’t nominated in the BEST UGANDAN ACT category #MTVMama2021 Wabula mujoga” sheila’s tweet read.
Looks like she wasn’t the only dissatisfied person with the nomination list. Some people on social media actually questioned why there is a special list for Best Ugandan artist.
“So these Guys created a category for Ugandan musicians (because the competition in the other categories, Ugandans can not handle ) it’s like Nigerians are coming to Uganda to pick their awards.
#MTVMAMA”, a one Kwizera commented.
The MTV Mama Awards are to take place in Uganda this time round. Obviously the nominated artistes expressed their Joy. But because we are in a political season, some voters have vowed not to vote for some people who didn’t stand with them during the police brutality moments.
Either way the awards will go on, whether in the face of this criticism or not.

![[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.
