Solomon Muleyi: Sheilah Gashumba Paid Kampala Sun to Expose Her For Attention

Statement on Sheilla Gashumba
I awoke to a message from Sheilla Gashumba, of a recording of my phone call with a client. Then a few seconds after that, my phone received a flurry of messages. I started receiving the screenshots of malicious social media posts that had been made by Sheilla Gashumba. I was startled of course. All my friends in the Public Relations industry reached out as well to check in with their advice. I listened to all of them, with the majority advising that I ignore her and not tell the world the truth. That it will blow over. And it will.

But. Does. It. Have. To?

The Gist
I run a company called Adris Digital Africa that specializes in Public Relations and Digital Marketing (though often the need to dabble in Experiential and Creative arises,) solutions for SME’s. Young brands that want to play in the same marketing space with Multinationals, but lack the resources to hire a Creative, Public Relations, Digital Marketing, and Experiential agency separately, come to us for solutions on how to get there on a mini budget. It’s a wild sport, but it’s the niche we chose, for the same reason. And we are good at it.

But before I founded Adris Digital Africa, I worked at Vision Group. I thought my love for writing would give me the life I wanted; turns out I was fiddling with a Hollywood script, because writing in Uganda gets you to the middle class, but not past that. So to suppress the cravings of my writing penchant, I made a decision that it would become my second hobby after football (MVP Guiness Night Football 2019 people, I’m really good at my hobbies haha.) The editors at Kampala Sun, especially, appreciated my love for words, and how I twirled and made them sing. So they requested that whenever I had the time, I should write a piece or two. I obliged and have always made time. I have since edited International Magazines like African Secrets, The Opportunity, The Urbanite, Miss Tourism Uganda, Satisfashion Uganda, and wrote and edited copy for print papers like New Vision, The Kampala Sun among others. For those who don’t know about Kampala Sun, and are elites, you are a fala; because Kampala Sun was Social Media before Social Media became Social Media. A platform for wit, satire, and hard core ‘lugambo’ delivered on a bed of delectably poetic ‘luzungu’. And Vision Group, because it gave me my career catapulting job, will forever be my home. A great learning environment that has left its doors open to me, and understanding that I am busy, but that I wish circumstances were different.

My first year in self-employment (2017) was fruitful. I organized and executed the most successful Ice Cream and Cake Festival event of all times, on all fronts (Experience, Public Relations, B2B, Branding, name it.) After that, a Russian company contacted me to spearhead a model hunt that we executed under the guise of Miss Pearl, a beauty pageant, and even that was a success given client objectives. The company, then called MuleyiPr also executed the Abryanz Style and Fashion Awards Digital and Public Relations. We also got a stint on the same contract, to make money bags Jack Pemba rise from the proverbial ashes, to grace, and he did. Then there was the Socialite William Bugeme’s Gold and White Party at Guvnor that sold out, courtesy of us. We have since promoted so many events, but those are memorable ones on the PR and Digital Front. We also continued to organize our own events, the Celebrity Road Trip For Charity (because….CSR,) the first edition of the Kampala Night Run, the Road To The Nile Corporate Gala, among others.
We have executed successful product launches for Multinational companies like Japanese Ceramics Company, Asahi Eitto Bizex, and Italian Furniture and Interior décor Shark, Visma Group, and run digital accounts of prosperous online brands like Kaisha Dog Trainers, The Urbanite, among hordes of other Public Relations and Digital Marketing contracts that I spearhead as a CEO of Adris Digital Africa. But thank God for this accusation, you wouldn’t have known.

THE GASHUMBA JOB
I am not close to Sheilla Gashumba, but we are acquaintances. Ours has been a budding business relationship. In January, I was contacted by a client who identified himself as Felix, and said he was an associate of Sheilla Gashumba. His job brief was on phone, and he asked if my company (Adris Digital Africa) could ‘put Sheilla Gashumba back in the limelight. He explained the problem statement, which was that Sheilla Gashumba was out of the news ever since she left NTV. So the brief entailed the need to give ‘Sheilla Gashumba’ top of Mind Awareness, so that she’d be able to secure endorsement contracts after the end of the Africell Stint.

I worked on a strategy, and the bill came to 20M. He said that ‘his clients’ would meet it. Yet he cut contact for about a month or so. But between that space, Brian Morel, Sheilla Gashumba’s Personal Assistant and a friend, contacted me. I met Sheilla Gashumba at Speke Apartments, and we sat besides the pool. She wanted me to help write a proposal seeking ambassadorship/endorsement from brands. My brother Brian Ahumuza alias Abryanz, while advising me today mentioned how she’d at some point asked for my number, but perhaps was too proud to reach out in person. Anyway, we talked strategy and her expectations, and even formed a Whatsapp group to execute properly. Yet she kept on dilly dallying and never got around to paying; citing a flurry of meetings.
A month later, I got contacted by Felix, the Sheilla Gashumba associate. I asked for an official email brief of the job, and he said there won’t be need, since his client was willing to pay for every phase of the strategy. I briefed the spin department, and we gave them about 8 story angles, and they chose one; ‘Trouble in Paradise.’ It was safe, yet compelling and alarming. They of course kept on insisting on more vile angles, like abortion, and group sex, which I advised would put the brand in a bad light. Since the gist was coming from Sheila Gashumba’s camp, it looked plausible. So I shared the story we agreed on, with different twists and gists, with different media houses, saving the most interesting one for my people; the Kampala Sun team.

Payment.
Of the budgeted 20M, I received 1.5M and after insisting and demanding screenshots of the work (which is Standard Operating Protocol before payment in the PR world,) I forwarded the necessary work and continued engaging other media. My Pr team was paid. And I waited for the rest of the balance because of the ongoing and planned interviews on NBS, NTV and other media houses, only they cut contact after. When I contacted Sheilla Gashumba to do the rest of the scheduled radio, print and TV, interviews, she feigned ignorance about it. Yet shortly after that, I saw her doing interviews on TV as dated and prescribed in the plan, atop using segments of the news jerking strategy we shared with her team on her social media.

About Tina Fierce.
Tina Fierce is a close friend, a passionate mother, and hard worker. We share so many hustle values, and the love for dogs, and occasionally she comes to me for stories and Lugambo since I have so many celebrity friends. I had projected that the Sheilla Gashumba camp was actually targeting her, because the strategy had over 20 media houses, yet her associate kept on insisting I should record a video meeting with Tina Fierce. I gave her the report as a friend. But I didn’t pay Tina Fierce, because those who know her work ethic. When I mentioned the people who needed money to Felix, it was to mentioned the different departments like the Press Release Writers, the PR spin doctor, the reporting and analytics manager, among others. It wasn’t the media like alleged.

Conclusion.
If in trying to earn a living, by doing a job I was paid to do, I harmed you, Sheilla Gashumba, I apologize. But the job was perceived as just another of the many celebrity jobs PR agencies get; where musical artistes, and socialites come to us in need of solutions like that. Usually because you and your ilk have nothing positive that is newsworthy, we usually work with the client to enact a scandalous spin that will get them in the news. We run so many campaigns similar in nature to the one we (thought we )were running for you, and that perhaps misinformed us. We apologize for the damages caused.

This is not a battle of who is right or wrong, it is simply an explanation that i believe my clients needed.

When you work hard alone, often times the world only sees your success when you reach the epitome of your career. Many times, a lot of people work hard in their homes, offices, studios and other places and no one notices or gives a damn until they make it and their light shines so bright that no one can ignore it. This is particularly true for Ugandan artistes who burn the night candle in studios to make things work out and release some of the baddest projects. Today, however, Galaxy FM recognized and rewarded some of these and they were ecstatic as they received their awards.

Top Kampala musicians flocked Galaxy one by one as they lined up to receive their awards for the hard work that is appreciated by fans and the radio station.

Kampala Boys formerly the B2C boys a day ago released their latest project “Munda Awo” and the new video exhibits excellent class, evidently better than those they have done before. We have learnt exclusively that unlike their previous projects, the new video is high budget, clean elegant and smart and one of the areas they improved greatly was the styling and clothing. Exclusively, we have learnt that city top stylist Abryanz was hired to style and dress the trio on set.

“Abryanz took a big portion of the entire video budget. He was paid to feature on set and style the artistes. He bagged 2M to be on set and also charged each of the artistes 4.5M for their attire which made it close to 15M on styling alone. The entire video went for more than double that figure” an insider told the website.

Munda Awo is a video you will watch and see the expenses instead, clean video.

The B2C’s (Kampala Boys) ‘Munda Awo’ fresh release this week is earning a impressive reception from both radio and TV airwaves.

It has come to our notice that, not only the song quality but also the video is scooping enormous attention and delight from the public after NTV Uganda’s presenter, Lynda Ddane featuring in it.

It’s no doubt that Lynda is currently the main talk in the entertainment industry for countless reasons that predominantly men would table and maybe, a few women to spice it up.

Lynda Ddane

One among these are, her gorgeousness, eloquent possessiveness, versatility that have obtained her a reputable position better place above her contenders of this generation.

In this video, Lynda showa off her weapons emphasized with a typical sense of style and seductive dance moves, it being a love song.

As often known for never disappointing when it comes to dressing, popular city fashionista, Abryanz did execute trendy sessions more than anyone expected for Lynda and the music trio.

This dress code outrightly merged Lynda’s brown body that would suddenly invite anyone to an intimate moment with her.

‘Munda Awo’ is in Luganda local language to mean ‘Inside there’ and the song derives a message of a better place where someone in love desires to be in his/her partner’s life.

Written by the Kampala boys themselves, the song production was satisfied with a production from, Nessim Pan (Shot Gun Studios) and the furnishing done by Anel Tunes.

The self-proclaimed ‘God’s Last borns’ clearly highlighted their sentence in this project as they preferred visuals from video director ‘Aaronaire on set’.

Munda Awo is currently, trending in the 8th position of the most viewed videos on YouTube in Uganda.

Apparently, Lynda is keen on continuously enrolling her unsung gift in the video vixen plot.

City Socialite Bad Black has finally received her money. The motormouthed mother of 3 who took part in a campaign to sensitize girls about the dangers of coronavirus has been paid today.

Black who for weeks has been making noise for whoever cares to here confirmed to us today that she has her money and is happy.

Bad Black

It all started when she shot the ad under Precision Media and later demanded 500 million yet there was no paperwork signed for this. The ministry who were the client for this said that there was no arrangement for Black to be paid and so did the agency called Precision Media.

Black went haywire on the internet, saying that she had been used and now the owners of the ad were claiming that this was her voluntary contribution to the fight against COVID19.

Yesterday, after so much noise had been made, NRM Mobilizer and Radio 4 owner, Promoter Balaam gave her an audience together with her lawyers. An agreement was signed and Black would receive her money today.

Today, the undisclosed sum of money which was packed in hard cash in a boz was handed over to the city socialite who seemed very happy to receive her money.

Black on receiving the money and signing for it said that; “I am signing for my money. I have received the money after 2 weeks. The supporters of NRM worked together to make sure I got my payment. I don’t have any shilling am demanding now. I will not cause any fracas anymore. We have made an agreement and I have been paid. I have nothing bad to say about president Museveni. I have the money now and it is very heavy. I got cash, not cheque, I always want my money in cash. Thank you very much.”

Congrats Bad Black.

By BigEyeUg Team

Its really a sorrowful Father’s Day to celebrate for the fans and followers of fabled stage MC, TV presenter and singer, Crysto Panda after he unmasked secret about the passing away of his baby, Aylinda Anah a few weeks back.

In his latest social media post, the NTV Presenter seemed obstreperous with the pain of his baby’s death that he has held for almost two weeks now after receiving wishes for a ‘Happy Father’s Day’ from his friends.

Here, Crysto revealed how his baby died of multiple seizure attacks that she contracted due to over fatigue during birth.

Thank you so much to whoever has wished me A Happy Father’s Day But unfortunately, I am so sorry to inform y’all that I lost my daughter Two weeks back. My baby got tired during delivery and because of that she got dead brain cells which caused multiple seizure attacks,” Crysto revealed.

The plan to save the baby’s life was started but since she was still young, the doctors couldn’t perform theatre activities because her skull was still soft to be operated, so they advised it would be done after two months.

Crysto Panda

Unfortunately, it was within this sophisticated period that the baby passed-on after just a month of patience because the seizures had accumulated and couldn’t be sustained in her head.

Because she was still young the doctors couldn’t operate her because her skull was still soft, so they suggested we hold up a bit longer she grows like we do the operation in two months.” But as you know the seizures became many and she couldn’t take it any longer so she passed on when she was a month old,” he wrote.

Panda says that because of his unbearable love for his job, he held the pain and maintained his job performance despite his heart burning under depression.

Many of you all have been asking me about her of late and I wasn’t brave enough to speak about it and that’s why also I wasn’t posting about her like before. Because of the love I gat for my job I kept on doing my shows as you’ve been seeing me on NTV with a huge wide smile as if everything is ok but deep down inside me I couldn’t stop crying and hurting,” Panda added.

He also appreciates to have exhaustively utilized the scanty days of happiness to show love to his own baby by posting about the baby all the time.

I used to post about her so many times not because I wanted to show off but apart from the excitement, Joy & Love I knew her days were numbered so I wanted to celebrate every minute she kept her breathe and though me & her had never met but she changed my life completely & I must say it was good experience. Me & her Mum we fighting so hard to recover but all in all it goes back to God, He gives and takes,” Crysto further stated.

Crysto Panda’s deceased baby, Aylinda Anah

The ‘Kyoyina Omanya’ hitmaker also urges all men to give their best support and take-on responsibilities as fathers to their children regardless of the status of their relationships with their wives.

Let this be a lesson to every boy or man out there please be proud of your babies ,show them off , give them your attention don’t neglect them it doesn’t matter who the mother is coz a baby is a baby no matter how the mother looks like or whether you guys are still together or not and she / he will forever be your blood.

“Always take on the responsibility of being a father and never be afraid of how the public will receive you and if you’re a celebrity please be proud of your babies show them off as you want coz your loyal fans will always support you,” Panda added.

He further revealed how he gained more respect and fans after he announced that his girlfriend had birthed him a baby and he was ready to take-on the responsibility as a father.

When I posted about my baby I gained more fans than I had before why coz sensible people love people who always take on their responsibilities not matter how old you’re. R.I.P @aylindanah Me & Mum we miss u so much 
#happyfathersday my in-laws thank you sooo much,

Rest In Peace Baby Aylindanah!

By BigEyeUg Team;

The long-awaited ‘Kyoyina Omanya remix’ visuals are finally on release and guess what, it’s another blast to coup TV airwaves this year.

When singer Crysto Panda announced that he had landed a collabo with songstress, Sheebah Karungi for his Kyoyina Omanya song remix everyone was surprised by how true this was until he dropped the audio.

Kyoyina Omanya remix audio surpassed normal listenership and downloads on most digital platforms to an extent of trending in the number one position on Twitter.

This sent the fans bananas as they desperately demanded Panda that he seals the mega project with a video, a requested he consented to.

Two weeks back, Panda alerted his fans that he had shot the video in a Busabala Warehouse and he was to drop it soon. Yesterday, all focus was on his socials with fans waiting for the video after he hinted that the release time was 10PM.

Panda dropped the audio and is currently receiving impressive attention.

As she is often known for being unique when it comes to fashion, Sheebah Karungi’s attire in this video doesn’t disappoint and is a perfect fit for her sexy body.

The song is a club banger and the self-proclaimed ‘Queen Karma’ pulled-off the right vibe with fascinating dancehall strokes have left fans amazed.

Panda’s dress code is that trendy and simple for him to make showcase of his famous, hoppy dance move dubbed ‘Bina dance’ in company of other professional choreography groups.

The video is a simple neat flick from fabled videographer, Aaronaire on set.

It should also be noted that the two preferred to have talented music producer, Artin (Axtra Nation) exclusively retain the production of the remix like it is for the original version.

Its no doubt that Panda who also doubles as a TV presenter, is making remarkable statements in the music business.

NEW Mobile Money Campaign: ‘Keep some MTN MoMo on your phones. It saves.’

  • In these times, it saves to keep some MTN MoMo to pay for products and services like airtime, voice and data bundles, Yaka, National Water, shopping and much more.
  • MTN customers are encouraged to keep some money on their phones from as low as UGX 500/- with MTN MoMo.
  • It saves and its safer to have some money on MTN MoMo for emergencies, especially in these times of the pandemic and curfew.
  • MTN MoMo is safe, affordable, convenient, and can save you when you need it the most.

MTN Uganda has today launched a campaign aimed at sensitizing customers on why it’s important to keep some mobile money with MTN MoMo and the associated benefits like the convenience of paying for products and services like airtime, voice and date bundles, Yaka electricity units, national water, school fees, shopping and much more.

In the campaign that will run under the theme, “Keep some Money on MTN MoMo, It saves”, MTN is encouraging customers to keep some money with MTN MoMo on their phones, because it is convenient, safe and could come to their rescue in emergency situations during these times of covid19 and the curfews that they live under as a result.

Most Ugandans already know MTN MoMo and how it works. Many more are already using it for sending and receiving money. However, some continue to use cash for many of their daily needs. Although it is inconveniencing, some customers would rather walk to the shop to buy airtime, bundles or MBs, and even to pay for their utility bills, yet they can conveniently use MTN MoMo from wherever they are. In the end however, customers wish they had mobile money on the phones more so in emergency situations.

“This new campaign is about encouraging our customers to keep some MTN MoMo on their phones, because it saves,” said Stephen Mutana, the General Manager, Mobile Financial Services at MTN Uganda.

“You don’t have to deposit all your money, keep some on MTN MoMo to use it when you need it most. For example, if you have 5,000/-, you can deposit 2,000/- on your MTN MoMo account. This 2,000/- will come in handy when you need to buy airtime or data bundles at night when the shop is closed or if your power goes off at night and you need to buy Yaka units”, Mr. Mutana advised.

MTN MoMo can do everything and even more than physical cash. With MTN MoMo, customers can buy airtime, voice and data bundles, and can also conveniently pay for shopping at the supermarket, pay for fuel, and much more conveniently using their phone, anytime, anywhere. Even for school fees, MTN MoMo customers no longer need to queue at the bank for hours. Customers can deposit as low as 500/- on their MTN MoMo account and dial *165# or use the MyMTN app for safe, reliable and convenient transactions.

Relatedly, Stephen also cautioned MTN MoMo customers against sharing their PINs. “Keep your MTN MoMo PIN safe. Don’t share it with anyone. Nobody can access money on your phone unless you give them your PIN number which only you should know”, he concluded.

MTN MoMo is safe, reliable and convenient.
