Uganda: The only Country where Celebrities Stalk their Fans

Naturally, world (social) order dictates that fans do the stalking when it comes to their celebrities. Law courts world over have handled thousands of cases where celebrities have complained of being stalked by obsessed nightmare super fans. I have never had of a fan complaining of being followed around all day by a celebrity making a nuisance of him/ herself!! Stalking can be defined as unwanted or neurotic attention by an individual towards another. In Psychology & Psychiatry (analysis) and also in some legal jurisdictions, stalking is a criminal offence. Robert Dewey Hoskins was sentenced to ten years in prison for stalking Madonna in 1996. He escaped from the mental institution where he was committed and was back at his stalking business in 2012. This brings me to my point, local singer Irene Ntale last month released a song titled ‘Gyobera’ (Where u stay) that is now a sort of household hit. She is by all means a talented thing standing on two very shapely female legs! However, am starting to believe she is a stalker. Going by the song’s lyrics, it is clear that Ntale is obsessed with the object of her desires; who obviously has no idea of her existence. By the way, obsession is one of the major symptoms of stalking. She knows where he stays and the room number on his muzigo plus probably how many checkered boxers he has, trousers and the colour of his bed sheets. Ntale also has his number and I am sure she has no connections in any of the telecommunication service providers. She also knows the kafunda where he drinks and his favorite beer although she does not mention it in the song…I am assuming it is obvious! She continuously talks about how he uses boda bodas and the number of the guy who rides it, what time he picks and drops him. Ntale claims to know all that information (most of which is personal) because she resides in the same neighborhood with the dude (Gyobera gyembela). This could be true but how many of you know your neighbour’s every move or side dishes or if they are even cheating on their spouses? I know of some people who do not even know their immediate neighbour’s name and it is not that they are bad neighbours. If Ntale’s behavior is not stalking then there must be a new definition of the word that I am not aware of. In fact, if I were that dude in her neighborhood, I would have slapped her with a law suit for being so dedicated to me (her fan) that she went to such extreme measures. She is a stalker just!!
