"Why Is It Coming out Now" Ugandans Question Mukula’s Corruption Allegations on Pilgrim Africa

When Mike Mukula took to Twitter to post corruption allegations against Pilgrim Africa, he probably thought he’d spark public outrage and stir up a scandal. Well… he was right—except the outrage was against him, all Ugandans turned against him.

In what can only be described as the most poorly thought-out PR move of the year, Mukula’s tweet backfired in spectacular fashion. Within minutes, Ugandans flooded his social media with memes, clapbacks, and pure fire. The internet did not come to play.

“You of all people? Mike Mukula?”That was the tone. That was the energy. That was the mood.

One tweet captured the spirit perfectly:”You have no audacity to talk about Pilgrim Africa. You are the most corrupt & even once jailed.”

Ugandans could not believe that he of all people, had the nerve to accuse an NGO like Pilgrim Africa of corruption. An NGO known for treating malaria, supporting schools, feeding families, and doing what actual leaders are supposed to do.

As one user said:“It’s shameful that you’re sharing and posting this. Are you really the one to talk?”It was giving pot calling kettle black, but in HD.

Ugandans were quick to question why Mukula suddenly remembered Pilgrim Africa’s name.“Why is it coming out now?” one person tweeted.The answer, many believed, was simple: dirty politics.

“Simply a power fight,” another user replied. And that’s the most honest take. Mukula’s tweet had nothing to do with facts and everything to do with ego, influence, and maybe a little fear that Pilgrim Africa is doing more for Ugandans than he ever has.

While Mukula was trying to look serious, Twitter turned his post into a roast session.

People posted photos of his past scandals, jail history, and even threw in memes saying, “Pilgrim Africa has cured more malaria and done more good than Mukula has told the truth.”

Some even suggested that Mukula should focus on doing sit-ups instead of stirring up fake scandals. The internet is undefeated.

Pilgrim Africa has earned its place in the hearts of Ugandans through real, honest work. You can’t fake that. Mukula, on the other hand, has earned… well, let’s just say different headlines over the years.

If this Twitter mess taught us anything, it’s that Ugandans are awake. They know who is doing real work and who is doing real nonsense. And they’re not afraid to say it, loudly, with humor, and a little bit of spice.

In the end, Mike Mukula tried to light a fire under Pilgrim Africa but ended up burning himself. Next time, maybe tweet about something safer. Like the weather. Or goats. Leave the real work and the real heroes alone.
