Ugandans have been reacting to a proposal by American actor Terrence Howard to develop a new Hydrogen technology to secure and defend the sovereignty of Uganda.
After meeting Terrence Howard at State Lodge Nakasero, President Museveni said he had had “a fruitful discussion” with the “American actor and technopreneur” and his wife Ms Miranda Pak who are on a visit to Uganda.
But Ugandans have been reminding the president of the need to take the proposal for the deployment of hydrogen technology with some pinch of salt, especially after some celebrities who previously visited him pitched great ideas but failed to implement them.
Here are some of the reactions to Terrence Howard’s hydrogen technology proposal:
Celebrities have big ideas for Uganda. Akon: “Akon City, which will operate using my own cryptocurrency, Akoin”. Kanye West: “Uganda should be like Jurassic Park”. Terrence Howard: “Bringing a new form of flight to Uganda using the geometry of hydrogen”. – Nancy Kacungira @kacungira
Beep, Beep, Fasi Fasi …. Give way for Terrence Howard to launch his new Planes ✈/ Flights In Uganda to replace the current drones, helicopters 🚁 #UgandaTwazaGwaki? – Bugingo Hannington @bhannington
Uganda seems to be that problem that keeps giving tuba twakava mu Akon city than never was nezireeta owa simanya Hydrogen chemistry mbu Terrence Howard kyokka waliwo ne mandeevu owa Covid-19 vaccine, this country looks like a WhatsApp group one quits another joins via a link. – Mordecai Muriisa @MordecaiMuriisa
After Listening to the Speech of Terrence Howard when he visited the President, I am starting to smell a rat! I am starting to see another huge scam that could likely result from what he is trying to suggest. He emphasized security which caught the president’s attention!! – UGAMAN @Ugaman01
Terrence Howard would have told us how they come to shoot a video scene than promising us heaven on earth. Am yet to see Akon city being constructed and also Kanye West has not yet come to pick his cows from Kiruhura. – Blessing Brenda @brendamary_kemi
Terrence Howard came as a tourist but somehow wound up explaining the grand unified theory and geometry of hydrogen to a president who loves science and despises the arts (like acting). Turns out these are key areas of research in particle physics. I googled. – Paul Lumala @paulo_waabwe
Terrence Howard said he is here to remove Plastic from the ocean in a land locked country and SFC didn’t arrest him on spot and no Minister moved out in protest, Amin wouldn’t allow such disrespect. – Fer Rouq @Socialoutcast49
Are you a foreigner? Feel like mocking a country? Visit Uganda, you shall receive a state welcome, get free land, tax exemption & free money to fund whatever nonsense you present. Terrence Howard is the latest in this line of nrm bomboklattery. – MR MOSH LIVE @mrmoshlive
Remember when Terrence Howard sent our dear first son a birthday message? Hehe hehe……nothing can be for nothing, he had a plan. Uganda best in being scammed. – Onapito Ian Francis @OnatheDon1
