KAMPALA — Radio presenter Ismael Ssegawa, popularly known as Sureman Ssegawa of Simba FM, has released a new song titled _Bulaaya_, a Luganda word meaning “people abroad.”
The song addresses the challenges faced by Ugandans living overseas. Ssegawa says many people believe those who move abroad automatically live a good life, but he calls that idea false.
While some Ugandans abroad are doing well, he notes that many others struggle and only pretend to be successful.
_Bulaaya_ also cautions young people who seek to marry older foreigners, referred to as _bazungu_, for financial gain.
Ssegawa cites the case of former comedian Kapale, who married an older foreign woman and moved to the United States.
In a recent interview, Kapale revealed that he later escaped the marriage and returned to Uganda, saying life was not as good as it appeared.
He disclosed that he had pretended to be happy and was once jailed because of issues with the woman who took him abroad.
Through the song, Ssegawa urges those living overseas to share the real experiences of life abroad, noting that reality often differs from what is shown in movies.
He questions why people leave their families in Uganda to go abroad, but acknowledges that Uganda’s current economic situation has forced many to seek opportunities elsewhere.
He appeals for solutions to improve the country’s financial status so Ugandans can earn a living at home.
Ssegawa also thanked Ugandans abroad who continue to send money to support relatives back home.
The song _Bulaaya_ is now available on major streaming platforms and has sparked discussion among listeners about the realities of life abroad.
