When Mike Mukula took to Twitter to accuse Pilgrim Africa of corruption, he likely anticipated public outrage and a stirred-up controversy. He got the outrage—but it was aimed squarely at him.
What appeared to be a calculated PR move quickly unraveled. Within moments, Ugandans flooded his social media with mocking responses, memes, and sharp criticism. The backlash was swift and relentless.
“Mike Mukula? Really?” That summed up the general reaction—disbelief, sarcasm, and collective frustration.
One particularly pointed tweet said: “You have no right to talk about Pilgrim Africa. You’re the most corrupt and were even imprisoned once.”
The public was shocked that someone with Mukula’s history had the audacity to point fingers at an NGO like Pilgrim Africa—an organization respected for its work in fighting malaria, supporting education, and helping vulnerable communities.
As one commenter put it: “It’s disgraceful that you’re posting this. You’re not in a position to speak.” It was a classic case of the pot calling the kettle black—on full display.
People also questioned the timing of Mukula’s outburst. “Why is this coming out now?” a user asked. To many, the answer was obvious: political scheming.
“Just a fight for influence,” another person responded. And that seemed to resonate. The consensus online was that Mukula’s accusations had less to do with truth and more to do with personal motives—perhaps even jealousy over the impact Pilgrim Africa has had.
As Mukula tried to portray concern, the online community flipped the script, turning his tweet into a public takedown.
Users resurfaced past corruption scandals, jail time, and even threw in memes that said things like, “Pilgrim Africa has cured more malaria than Mukula has ever told the truth.”
Some even joked that Mukula would be better off focusing on fitness than inventing scandals. The internet, as always, delivered without mercy.
Pilgrim Africa has built trust through tangible, consistent work in Ugandan communities. That kind of integrity speaks for itself. Mukula, in contrast, has made headlines for entirely different reasons.
This incident highlighted how socially aware Ugandans are today. They recognize who is making a real difference—and who is making noise for attention. And they’re not afraid to call it out with boldness and wit.
In the end, Mukula tried to tarnish Pilgrim Africa’s name, but only succeeded in damaging his own. Perhaps next time, he’ll stick to tweeting about neutral topics—like the weather. Or livestock. And leave the true changemakers to their work.
