Master Bill Clinton Kaligani, the Jinja boy named after the former US President, finally beat the odds to meet Mr Bill Clinton, who was leaving Uganda on Friday after a brief day’s visit.

Kaligani was airlifted to State House Entebbe, catching up with Mr Clinton a few moments before he was scheduled to leave the country. The two Clintons met on the former President’s plane.

“There was something like a room. We met there and he was very happy to see the boy. He asked him what he wants and the boy informed him he wants to become a doctor. He promised to look after his “son” in every way. Clinton told him he should study hard. He promised to fund his education up to the level the boy wants,” Ms Betty Namugosa, Kaligani’s mother, narrated on phone yesterday.

“He told us: “I was leaving but I decided to wait and see you. I want us to do a deal. Will you study? Are you determined?”” He told them to compile the boy’s education needs and hand them over to US Embassy officials who attended the meeting.

“I feel good. He told me he also wanted me to be a doctor, that I should work hard and pass in my studies,” Kaligani said yesterday.

Kaligani said it not only his first time to meet Bill Clinton as an adult, but also the first time he had travelled by air.

The former President and his guests shared a light meal, and he also gave Kaligani some presents, “pens, key-holders and thing like that.”

President Yoweri Museveni, who had met the former US President earlier that day, was not at the meeting.

The boy’s family was not on the ex-President’s schedule and did not know about his visit until Daily Monitor broke the news to them on Wednesday.

MBINU ZA KUMFIKISHA MWANAMKE MWENYE MAKALIO MAKUBWA KILELENI KWA HARAKA

Kwa kawaida wanawake wanafikia kilele (mwisho wa utamu wa ngono) kati ya dakika ishirini na saa moja, yaani kwa kifupi inawachukua muda mrefu sana hali inayopelekea mpenzi mvivu kuchoka na ufanyaji wake utakuwa wa “ovyo” hali itakayo kufanya wewe kuishiwa na hamu ya kuendelea. Pamoja na kuchelewa huko ambako kunatokana na utofauti wetu kati ya mwanaume na mwanamke lakini nakumbuka hapo nyuma nilikutana na wanawake 2 waliokuwa ndani ya ndoa na wamezaa lakini hawajawahi kabisa kujua utamu wa tendo hilo alimaharufu kama “kufanya mapenzi”. Natambua kuwa ni ngumu au niseme si wanawake wote ambao wamejaaliwa kimaumbile kwamba wanafanikiwa kufika kileleni zaidi ya mara mbili kila wanapofanya mapenzi/ngono (kumbuka ni kati ya dakika 15 na saa moja hivyo Jibaba hapa awe na uwezo wa kujizuia kwa zaidi ya dk 45) na ikiwa jamaa ni “mzamiaji” basi unaweza ukaondoka na goli 3 ktk mzunguuko mmoja. Lakini kwa nini basi baadhi yao tu ndio wafike kileleni na wengine was...
