Growing up in a down trodden background taught me that the only way I would associate with kids who had gone to schools like Ntare was through School if luck shined on my side and luckily enough God did it.
Every parent who had money during our School days made sure that his/her son or daughter attended schools like Ntare,Jovoc,MaryHill,Bweranyangi,St.Marys Kitende etc,save for us the poor ones who atteded Seed Secondary Schools.
It is with sheer hard work and God's grace that I can express myself willingly in the queen's language without any challenge
Back to business,the educational side of these leagues,is that students are inspired to read hard in order to attend these schools,apart from being bourgoise Schools,you have to be academically smart to attend these chools.
The solidarity and confidence that the ob's of these schools exhibit outside the academic world is enough to make you work hard if you missed being part of these schools such that your children can be part of them.
The lion roars and they move out and roar in the world that is why i can even find time to pen down this article on behalf the gallant men of Ntare .

On the economic side of the world,a state dinner was organised for the ob's of this prestigious school presided over by H.E Paul Kagame and this signifies a high level of comitment bestowed towards the growth of these two schools (Ntare Rwanda and Ntare Uganda) ,Unity and solidarity at its core.
Assuming that 2000 Obs left Uganda to Kigali ,and each person spent 400k a night in Rwanda ,that would be 800 Million earned by Rwanda a night .
Do not forget the global visibility earned by Rwanda in as far as tourism and hospitality sector is concerned.
Imagine if each school in Uganda had such a league,how much do you think a country would be earning per year from these leagues,of course quite a huge additional income that the country would earn from this.
We all have the potential to use the available resources and forge away forward in as far as the growth and development of this country is concerned.
