KAMPALA / KYOTERA, UGANDA — In a deeply emotional and uncompromisingly raw personal reflection, the cultural thinker and self-styled Oracle from Kifuuta, Kyotera, Buddu—famously known as Mbaaga Mbazzi—has released a public confession addressed to his beloved, Nantayi (Mariah).
Titled “My Confession to Nantayi,” the deeply moving piece chronicles Mbaaga Mbazzi’s journey through rock-bottom despair, severe mental anguish, and substance struggles, before discovering emotional redemption, spiritual grounding, and unshakeable love.
Moving away from routine public commentary, the declaration weaves together candid admissions of human weakness, cultural reflections from Buddu, and a pragmatic assessment of romance, societal jealousy, and economic reality in modern Uganda.
What is the story behind the Oracle of Kifuuta confession to Nantayi?
The core narrative of the piece opens with an unfiltered look into a period of profound personal collapse, during which Mbaaga Mbazzi describes himself as a “dead man walking.”
Beset by restlessness, inner sickness, and a loss of personal freedom, he recalls wandering aimlessly in clothes that no longer fit, carrying heavy professional burdens while his internal judgment crumbled.
“I was a dead man walking. My heart was sick. My body was trembling. Happiness had left me a long time ago,” Mbaaga Mbazzi reflects. “I had no freedom. I wandered aimlessly, in clothes that no longer fit me. My heart trembled; my soul was restless. I was finished. But I was pulled out of that grave and survived — leaving people wondering, ‘What happened to this man?'”
Everything changed when Nantayi entered his life, acting as both his greatest disruption and his ultimate healing force—a presence he describes as a “cloud of happiness” that restored his faith in divine purpose.
How did Mbaaga Mbazzi overcome personal struggles and mental turmoil?
In his confession, Mbaaga Mbazzi does not shy away from the dark chapters of his past, explicitly naming the heavy traditional spirits and regional brews—including waragi, tonto, and during his time in Zambia, Kachaso and shekesheke—that compounded his confusion.
He recalls painful family moments when his aunt would look at his melancholic state and ask where his joy had gone, prompting him to hide behind false excuses about difficult circumstances.
| Life Phase | Personal Challenges & Turmoil | Spiritual & Emotional Transformation |
| The Dark Period (“Dead Man Walking”) | Restlessness, loss of direction, ill-fitting clothes, failing judgment under heavy responsibility. | Disconnected from family; hiding despair behind false excuses to relatives. |
| Substance & Escape Attempts | Turning to local brews (waragi, tonto) and threat of returning to Zambia (Kachaso, shekesheke). | Realization that physical relocation cannot fix an unhealed internal heart. |
| The Turning Point | Staggering under the weight of overwhelming love and public scrutiny. | Spiritual grounding through the cultural roots of Kafuluma, Kyotera, and Buddu. |
| The Present Reality | Navigating social jealousy, financial hustle, and public misinterpretation. | Restored joy, clarity of purpose, and total emotional commitment to Nantayi. |
Ultimately, he credits his recovery to a combination of divine intervention, deep self-reflection, and cultural alignment through the traditional roots of Kafuluma, Kyotera, and Buddu, which restored his senses and gave him the strength to face life with maturity.
“Nantayi, I am still young but very Old and Mature,” he writes. “Love enters me and overwhelms me. I look at you and I stagger, as though someone has beaten me. But God helped me through the gods of Kafuluma, Kyotera, Buddu and turned back to my senses.”
Why did Ali Ssekatawa compare Nantayi to an expensive Italian marble stone?
A standout moment in the reflection centers on a public gathering at Nalukolongo Bakateyamba Catholic Church, where prominent lawyer and public figure Ali Ssekatawa encountered Nantayi alongside Mbaaga Mbazzi.
Struck by her elegance and presence, Ssekatawa nicknamed her “Marble”—comparing her rare beauty to the precious, high-grade marble stones quarried in Italy that command billions of shillings on the global market.
“My friend Ali Ssekatawa amazed me when you left us at Nalukolongo Bakateyamba Catholic Church. He said you look so fine and nicknamed you a valuable and precious stone — that you are beautiful as Marble,” Mbaaga Mbazzi recalls. “The stones are in Italy and cost a lot of money — in billions. But the young man was right, and I had run out of strength. When you dressed up and looked beautiful, I also felt as though I was gaining strength.”
The encounter served as a public testament that Nantayi’s grace was not merely a private comfort to Mbaaga, but an undeniable presence celebrated by peers and onlookers alike.

What is the message on love money and social jealousy in Kifuuta Buddu?
Closing his confession, the Oracle from Kifuuta addresses two universal realities that govern human relationships: social envy and financial pragmatism.
Mbaaga Mbazzi warns Nantayi (addressed also as Mariah) to remain independent and ignore the whispers of malicious critics who amplify minor human mistakes while ignoring consistent good deeds. He notes that public hostility often stems from personal jealousy when an individual steps out of darkness into light.
Crucially, he grounds his romantic declaration in stark economic reality, rejecting romantic illusions that ignore financial security:
“Love without money is like trying to beat a drum in the wilderness — no one hears you,” Mbaaga Mbazzi declares. “What matters is standing by what you have said and remaining firm. That is truly the strong pillar on which those who make decisions rely. You see a man’s strength when his pocket contains money — and plenty of it. That is what keeps me moving everywhere, without promising things I cannot deliver.”
Pledging to return soon with renewed strength and financial stability, Mbaaga Mbazzi seals his declaration with the timeless wisdom of his ancestral roots: “The Oracles of Kifuuta, Kyotera, Buddu know these things and reflect on the truth.”
