Wati Avenue presidential junction plus Isaac (another boda) to getting calls from Sylvia who has a very sweet voice like Pamela the Musoga, almost equivalent to stereo soprano - music to the ears of the heart!

Driwala [Freedom]

Aru-a means "in prison" when translated from Lugbara and it was the name given to the hill that had a Belgian colonial prison at the top. Was it just a fenced meteorological station? Kickboxers used to train near the floor remains. Arua Town was established on 14th June 1914 and Arua Hill SC (formed in 2010 as Doves FC) got promoted to UPL for the first time on the eve of Arua's 107th anniversary. If you support Arsenal FC from London, then it can be relatively easy to drift towards Arua Hill because of the red and white jersey design; also have blue in it. Arua City and District got their names from this hill with a GOD engineered 7-star, 360-degree panoramic view of the entire locality. A very strategic spot for security cameras with zooming capabilities, this place is like an Eye in the Sky plus the source of the small but amazing Osu River and other springs. The hill is visible in the background during Arua Hill SC matches at Barifa Playground. The Arua Hill Stadium & Business Park is located at the northwestern foot of Arua Hill on Plot 1 Pakwach Highway...

Kakaparaka or Kakapati?

After Onduparaka took Ugandan Premier League football by storm in 2016, who knew that there would be another club from Arua City with a similar effect in 2021, something like "Kakaparaka or Kakapati [Lugbara Translate: Maize-stem or Maize stalk]", if not bigger? Jinja is adventurous, KLA City has class, Rwenzori is wonderful but Arua is the Sweetest Place (on Earth) since 1914, tasty like mango juice concentrate, no sugar added. With the motto "Tualu ama kongolo [Lugbara Translate: Together we are strong], I guess the time is ripe for Arua Hill Sports Club (previously called Doves All-Stars before Joel Aita bought 100 percent shares) and the "Hill of GOD" to shine more. One of the villages in Arua Hill Division [Gombolola or Subcounty] is called Anyafio which used to be reserved for Whites; it's part of Mvara Ward where the Anglican Mission is located. "Anya fi yo" means "No millet seeds" in Lugbara and was probably named that way because of no big farms in the concretised area. However, maize (like Operation Wealth Creation's Longe7H variety) is planted in the small homestead gardens around the 3 wards (Awindiri, Bazaar & Mvara); kaka ripens for anybody by GOD's grace: Kaka fi ci! One very funny thing about Arua Hill Division is that you can go to Kenya, Zambia, Sudan, Congo, (N)Sambya plus (the) Coast without leaving the Gombolola, heehee! Many zones in the rest of the Arua Area are actually named after famous destinations including Tanganyika Ward, Dubai Village, Malaba, Kampala Market, Casablanca, Makutano Junction, Mutukula, etc. Arua Hill Gombolola used to have "Hotel California" but now renamed to Hotel Arua. The 3rd Agofe of Lugbara Kari (His Highness Culu [Mr.] Jason Avutia) resides in the division which is also the location of the Presidential Lodge, Heritage Park and Courts, Oasis Inn, Crane Resort, Borderlands, Westnile TV, Desert Breeze Hotel, Golf Course (one of the 22 cells of Arua Hill in 2018: Maize is actually planted in the 9-hole green course with a diagonal boulevard after the Spring rains start in March), Emmanuel Cathedral and many other places of interest. Osu River starts from under the foot of Arua Hill, flows northwards adjacent to Osu Village and then bends eastwards before Ombaci. The top of Arua Hill [read Heal] is the place I go to sometimes when I want to chill, relax or reset. Welcome to United Gombololas (UG)! Arua is African, refreshing, unchained & amazing...
