Ronald Mayinja was hot before he was robbed
Before politics blemished his career, Ronald Mayinja gave everything to Uganda’s Music Industry.
Apart from Elly Wamala, only Mayinja could what a woman truly feels.
His songs include Akamanykiro (1997), Claire (1998), Necklace (1999), Njakulondola (2002) and Doreen (2004). All the above are special.
The moment Mayinja started singing about politics, his career dwindled. He tried very much to please tow masterts at ago, which made him fell down to the bottomless pit, His two songs Tulikubunkenke and Africa Teli ayamba, had ushered Mayinja into a bliss, but things never worked when he rushed to please NRM supporters.
Mayinja became like the proverbial leopard which stood at the cross roads after it smelt aroma coming from different directions.
How old is Ronald Mayinja?
He claims he was born on 9th November 1978. He was 42 years old as of 2021. Ronald Mayinja is a Ugandan singer, songwriter, politician, father, husband and a businessman. Mayinja is one of the original members of the defunct Eagles Production Band that dominated Uganda’s band music era starting from the mid-1990s until local band music was pushed to the peripherals of the industry.
Mayinja, who was once a strong Museveni critic turned into a his personal person and regime apologist after dumping NUP years ago over irreconcilable differences.
Now, in his new song, that has already hit the airwaves, Mayinja who has been a regime agent reminds the president how Mayinja has failed to effect his role of changing people’s mindset about the NRM government given the irregularities in his government that are bothering Ugandans like no more.
From nepotism being evident in issuing out government jobs, good roads that are only being utilised by haves at the cost of have-nots, good looking hospitals without medicine, and his 40years overstay in power which is an issue to Ugandans who are advocating for change in a country where survival is only for the fittest.
Mayinja became a center of attention when he sang his political satire song dubbed ‘Bizeemu’ in the face of President Museveni at Serena. He earned praise for it from NUP leader Bobi Wine and a litany of his followers.
However, Mayinja would soon fall off the grid, as he was rumored to have met the president at his Kisozi farm and picked cash to start his own party before collapsing it and dashing back to Bobi Wine where he picked the NUP membership and apologized for meeting Museveni.
Few months down the road, Mayinja released a song praising presidential candidate Yoweri Museveni in which he called him a father figure, whose results are tangible enough and should be voted back in power because he is not like his predecessors Obote and Amin.
