There is one thing that struck me when I did arrive in Uganda on my
first holiday.
The people in Uganda are very welcoming and also very charming
at that especially the men in this country found in East Africa.
The idea of
interracial relationships can be very intriguing and also at the sametime very
exciting.
When I first left Europe from my home country in German, I did not
anticipate this kind of attention from the men in this country.
One thing that actually did shock me was the
marriage offer I did get from one Ugandan man who had just met me there for a
few hours after I had jumped off the plane from the Entebbe airport.
That is
how shocking a life time decision can be made in Uganda. I did not take him seriously of course,
there is no woman who can actually take such a man seriously.
Some of these men could just be looking for
some fun and also enjoy the muzungu life or others are just interested in
showing off to their friends that trophy that they have won inform of a White
woman.
If you happen to find yourself falling in love with a Ugandan man when
you do arrive in this country, today I will narrate to you some of the things
that you should be aware of when you have fallen in love with a Ugandan
man.
The truth of the matter is that
Ugandan men are very handsome and also they can be very charming and they can
easily sweep you off your feet but you will have to know some things in advance
before you can actually involve yourself in such kind of a relationship.
Ugandan men will always tell women what they actually want to hear.
These men
will promise heaven on earth but you should just make sure that you do not
actually take them seriously.
Here are things that some of the Ugandan men will
not tell you when you start dating them that you should actually take note of.
1. Some of
these Ugandan men are already married
The truth of the matter is that some of these Ugandan men are already
married and all that they are looking for is some fun with a muzungu or white
women as they are called here.
Some of these
men have their spouses back at home but they would love enjoy and have some fun
with white women and experience the feeling of dating a white woman.
So if this
man is promising you heaven on earth, you will need to be careful and take a
second look at what he actually is telling you.
Make sure that you do analyse
what this man is saying before you can actually take him seriously. But I would
advise you not to take him seriously, all you need to do is just enjoy the
moment while it lasts.
For the last four years I have lived in Uganda, I have
been promised more marriage proposals than I ever received in my entire life.
One man promised to build me a house overlooking the shores of Lake Victoria.
While another man promised to give me state house if I just accepted his
proposal.
One proposal that took away my breath was one man promised to build a
boat house for me to live on Lake Victoria.
I can’t just imagine that fantasy
of waking up every morning seeing water all over the place, very amazing
creative people here in Uganda.
2. Some of
these men are already living with someone else
You will be shocked to discover one time that some of these men are
already with another woman with whom they may actually not even be married
legally.
These people may just be cohabiting and on top of that they may
actually want to add you into their life
also.
When you do ask some of these men to take you back to their homes, they
will try to avoid you going to their homes simply because they know that there
is someone there whom you will not want to come in contact with.
You should
make sure that you actually do not take them seriously, although some of these
men may truly want a relationship with you.
3. The
Ugandan man may be a father of many children
It is not news actually in Uganda for a man to have very many children
out there.
A man having very many children is a very common occurrence in
Uganda and there is a saying in local Luganda Language in Buganda that says
that man’s children are never counted.
For my white women out there who are
planning to date Ugandan men, you will need to know that your man might
actually be a father of very many children who may be as many as ten children.
You will need to have the courage to tolerate him if your relationship with him
is to actually last longer than to expected.
One man whom I dated in Uganda
shocked me when I later discovered that he had fathered five children from
different women without my knowledge.
That is the drama you will encounter if
you do date some of the Ugandan men out there.
4. The
Ugandan man may simultaneously be dating many other women
In Africa, polygamy is admired and it is not strange to find one man
having more than one woman as his wife.
So for that adventurous white woman out
there who is planning to have some good relationship with a Ugandan man, you
will need to get used to a man who could be dating more than one woman at the
same time.
This man could be seducing you to enter into what is literally
called his ‘farm’ of women.
If you are the kind of person who is jealousy, your
relationship might just end before it even gets started.
This is one reality
that is common among Ugandan men from my own experiences that I have had in
this beautiful country which was called the pearl of Africa by Winston Church
hill.
All the four scenarios that I have outlined here could just happen at the
same time.
So for my white women out
there who are looking for Mr. Right down here in this African country called
Uganda, you will need to take some of these things seriously.
The best way to
enjoy your stay in this country is not to take any of the things that these men
tell you seriously.
I know we white women love attention and if you are getting
a lot of attention from some of these men, you will need to enjoy it while it
lasts. One thing is that some of these men are looking for women who can
actually foot their bills.
Don’t get shocked to find out that this man is
asking you to pay his bills when you do go out to have some fun or when you go
on a date.
Some of these Ugandan men will turn you into their bank accounts.
Which woman will do that? Well, I do not know.
For all the white women who are coming for holidays and vacations in
Uganda, these are things you should take note of and ensure that you do enjoy
the experience to the maximum while it does last.
