Till now, Israel Uzoka's lyrics are
still on my lips: "Do you really know how beautiful you are? All over the
world no one looks like you. You can put a smile on your face." That was ‘Beautiful’,
one of the 6 songs that Israel fired us with, last Wednesday at the Authors’
Forum.
The other songs he performed
included ‘You do make me shine’ which many refer to as ‘I have a very big God’
and ‘Igwe’. With his powerful stage presence, angelic vocals, inspirational
words of wisdom in Pidgin English during interludes, it’s undebetable that Israel
took the evening.
In addition to Israel’s electrifying
performance, the ‘Battle of Minds’ where participants competed in constructing a
full sentence without using letter ‘a’, Pablo’s rib-shattering humor, and
poetry from FORTUNE UNLIMITED made the event a fun-full evening to remember.
The Celeb Interviews
equally stole the show. Many people had possibly seen Edwim Musiime, the brain
behind Crest Awards and Olive Gospel Music Awards, on billboards and TV, but this
time he inspired us live. When he talked about his book on Uganda’s Dream, I
felt my spirit being lifted to an unstoppable magnitude. And who was not
metamorphosed by the words of David Muwanguzi, a young prolific author, who talked
about the graves whose occupants did not utilize their full potential?
The peak was with the 12
success tips that Robert Ahimbisibwe the Select Garments tycoon gave us on
business. One was that we don't need to first accumulate lots of dime to start;
it’s starting that will help us accumulate the dime. He emphasized that success
is not a one-moment achievement; we need a series of successes. He gave us a
powerful Runyankole proverb: "Ameizi gita Ningamanya" (water kills
those who think they understand it) to mean we should never relax even when we
feel we are succeeding.
For the last 2 days, the
facebook walls of many my friends have been covered with praises for the event.
This is what I found from Ruth Kyomugisha’s wall: “Destiny changer! The aroma
in the auditorium was just smellable (Does that word exist?) Kasita you understand
what I mean. Yesterday’s Authors’ Forum was one of its kind. Ahimbisibwe made a
statement as he got to the stage: ‘I live a life of abundance’. Indeed from the
word go, I could also feel abundance in me.”
What more to add? To get
the entire package of what transpired in video form, contact us on 0414691595 /

the next episode which will happen on 3rd October. We are arranging to bring a
team of inspirational figures that will make it 10 times more inspiring than
that of last week. Lwaki nedda? Aliwa awakana?
Stay blessed and
