A rapper, farmer, former rebel fighter to fifth longest serving president in Africa are just a few descriptors one can use to describe the 9th President of Uganda.
What many people may not know is that President Museveni is a pastor too and man can he preach.
During the 19th National Prayer Breakfast held in Kampala organised by the Ugandan Parliament, President Museveni delivered a message to Ugandans.

Museveni delivered a tough wake up sermon on why Ugandans need to spend more time working and not praying as stipulated in the good book.
“In 500 years, all Africa has managed to make is fire and iron.”“Even China has been absent, but of late, they have at least copied those innovations. But Africa nothing! I hate this helpless approach where you only pray and shout as if God is deaf,” Museveni said.
The president castigated Africans for abandoning their fundamental mission of dominion over nature.
To drive his point home, Museveni picked up his Bible and read from the Book of Genesis 1:24 before criticising Africans for failure to work and invent ideas and solutions that would help them have dominion over all creatures.

Museveni closed his fiery sermon by quoting from the book of Matthew 7:15; where he cautioned the people in the gathering to be aware of false prophets who come “...in sheep clothing but inwardly they are ravenous wolves".
Uganda is currently going through political upheaval after a move by the governing party to remove age limits in the constitution for the presidency. The move has led to several protests and scuffles in Parliament.
