I’m an ex-prisoner, poetess, peaceful protester, published scholar and opposition politician from FDC party. I ache for freedom and liberty.
Although I am in exile, I can still write as my contribution to the fight for freedom and liberation in Uganda!

When your daughter is your best shopping buddy and you share the same nerdy sense of humour, life is wonderful. Even in tough seasons, we have got each other’s back.




Like me, @MubarakMunyagwa is an eloquent truthteller who rejects both dictator @KagutaMuseveni & impostor @HEBobiwine Hate or love me, but all my FDC friends are running for political offices. We are the diverse third force! There is no stopping us. We are the eaters of pilau…


Kitalo nnyo! It is with deep sorrow that I received the news of the death of Prof. Justice George W. Kanyeihamba @pgwkanyeihamba this morning in Kampala. Uganda is losing good men while evil men continue living. Death should have instead taken the despot raping our motherland.

I curse this man for abandoning his church wife and three children for eighteen months in a scholarship-house in exile. As a Nalongo, I curse him as a twin.


Political parties in Uganda are a thriller with six seasons of at least twenty episodes each. Did the high court of Uganda really forbid James Akena from contesting for a third term as the president of Uganda People’s Congress? Wow… just wow!!!

I’m very proud of my daughter, @_barakabah_ ! She opened the Summer Concert 2025 for piano players at Klavierstunde München. I’m grateful to her tutor. As a mother, I draw great contentment from witnessing the fruit of putting my money into skilling my children.




Slowly but steadily, I am becoming the Mother Eagle with an empty nest: all my babies are dispersing to new locales. Bitter-sweet!!!

I am a published poet with 5 books: 1. Exiled for My Mouth (2025) 2. Im Mundexil (2025) 3. Eulogies of My Mouth (2022) 4. Don’t Come in My Mouth (2021) 5. No Roses from My Mouth (2020) Uploading my poetry books to online bookstores is ongoing at: sites.google.com/view/stellanya…


Farewells aren’t my thing. Yet today, we had our final picnic in our favorite spot under the huge trees of Hirschgarten. The church wife cooked all the food in her kitchen, as usual. Our children came together one last time to share food, chat & music. Friendship is a gift!




Haters have called me crazy for years, simply because I boldly articulate truths they all see but silence. Fine: if truthtelling is crazy, then I am crazy.

Wheelchair politics is mastered by lazy empty-brained non-performing women who say nada on parliament’s floor as NUP MPs. Instead of proposing bills, they buy second-hand wheelchairs & walking sticks for photo moments with journalists. Film star of wheelchair politics jetted back


It is deeply fulfilling to teach at will, choose content & teach when one decides. To a Speculative Fiction Course this semester, I contributed 2 African texts: Jennifer Makumbi’s “Manchester Happened” & Awaeke Emezi’s “Fresh Water”. My class loved both! Behold, I am a teacher…


My darling, Hon @SsemujjuNganda1 is beating down, undressing & exposing his opponent’s nappies. @NUP_Ug came in nappies. 5 years later, they still wear nappies soiled with shitty politics & stained with innocent blood of freedom fighters e.g Yassin whose orphans struggle unaided.

1/2 Mugaati gwa bbata wange asimbudde! I’m enjoying the campaigns. Hon @MubarakMunyagwa launched the Common Man’s Party today as party president & presidential flag bearer. I love Comrade Mugaati gwa bbata: he is a diehard follower of Dr @kizzabesigye1 ’s defiance dissidence.


Kabi ki owange bwemwagala mu ngeri ewa emirembe, ttabbu gaani? Bwaba anyumidde bambi, nteka eri olukungu ne mugamba onyumidde mwattu. Bwaba anekedde tata nteka eri olukungu ne mugamba nti “Aya baasi!”
