Uganda’s President Yoweri Museveni has blamed “big-headed” citizens for the country’s failure to improve its agriculture yields, the country’s privately owned Daily Monitor newspaper reports.
“The problem with Ugandans is they are big headed. That’s is the reason why the adaption rate of modern agricultural practices is very low and this has made it difficult for them to earn incomes from their small pieces of land,” Mr Museveni said.
He made the remarks on Tuesday when opening a cement factory in the eastern Tororo district.
“Uganda is one of the richest countries in the world blessed with numerous natural resources, which cannot be exhausted within the shortest period of time,” he said, adding that the future of the country was in industrialisation.

Mr. president with all due respect, Ugandans are poor because you've taken them hostage. Your corrupt regime is what is bankrupting Uganda. You're glooming you son to take over to protect your corrupt +***barred word***+. You're a corrupt bloody dictator; in the same league with Idi Amin. Your time is up. Ugandans SHOULD remove you at all cost. You were shown a RED CARD last year, but you're still in the game because you refused to leave the field. Sooner or later, you will suffer the same fate as Gaddafi.
