Seasoned NBS journalist Simon Kaggwa Njala is not only trending at number one on Twitter but he has also burned a number of bridges with a number of celebrated figures after his recent post rubbed a number of tweeps the wrong way.
Njala took to his Twitter to express the paradox surrounding the pomp surrounding Jacob Oulanyah’s passing and his lonely final resting place.
After posting workers constructing the grave of the now fallen Speaker, he accompanied the picture with the caption, “Oulanyah’s final resting place. After all the pomp and glamour in his funeral, this is it.”
The journalist’s candid perception of reality rubbed many people the wrong way, but among those that seemed hurt the most included comedian Salvado Patrick Idringi.
Salvado did not take Njala’s tweet in good faith as he was quick to attack and dismantle the journalist’s stream of thought and expressed regret over having bought him a stick of pork at a previous encounter.
“Parents, be careful the names you give your children. Case in point this old man who is always hungry for attention, I even regret buying for you those 2 sticks of pork at Ssebutinde pork joint in Entebbe.. let the man Rest in Peace,” he tweeted.
Kaggwa Njala is not one to take a jab without returning it.
He attacked the comedian back, describing the statement he had made as buffoonery.
“I’m compelled not to dignify this buffoonery with a response. This is the real Salvador. Emptiness at its best,” he shot back.
The war has since been brewing silently between the journalist and the comedian as the issue dividing the two, pork, has since been trending, peaking at number one on Twitter.
