During an exclusive interview with NBS TV, the queen said that she grew up in a very Christian family. However, she’s on different occasions let God out of her sight.
She added that if she met the 36-year-old version of herself now, she would tell her to be a bit more patient. She would also make sure to keep God in her sight.
“If I was to meet 36-year-old Slyvia Nagginda, I would tell her to be more patient. Most importantly, I would tell her not to let God out of her sight. I grew up in a Christian family, but I have been on and off with my faith.”
Furthermore, the Nnabagereka revealed the age at which she got married and this was 36. According to her, she was very amazed at the love people have for the Kabaka in and out of the kingdom.
She went ahead to reveal that her wedding with the Kabaka, Ronald Muwenda Mutebi II happened in 1999. This was 6 years after the restoration of kingdoms in Uganda in 1993.
She added that no one really prepared her for the challenges ahead in in her new role. However, God used her innocence to help her navigate through this tide.
Apparently, prior to her marriage, she didn’t actually envisage what she was diving into. She was, however, ready for marriage since she was in the evening of her youthful years.
She also intimated that the proposal from Kabaka Mutebi wasn’t romantic at all.
It was by email and without much words as he told her that if she’s ready, he’s also ready. The Nnabagereka didn’t hesitate one bit and right away told him that she was ready for marriage.
“I got married when I was 36. The title (Queen or Nnabagereka) describes what’s expected of you. I was impressed by the love the people of Buganda have for the Kabaka.
He is held in high regard both in and out of the Kingdom. Kingdoms were restored in 1993 and our wedding happened six years later in 1999. I don’t think orienting the Nnabagereka into her role was something anyone thought about.”
She also added that she feels her destiny with Kabaka Mutebi was pre-determined. This is because her life would have been completely different if she had stayed either in Uganda or the UK.

![[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.
