The Most Ugandan Wiki of all Wikis, Ugikipedia provides the true Ugandan meanings of true Ugandan things this week’s topic is chicken.

Definition

Chicken is an animal the size of a plate. It is used for lunch and supper.

Origin 

On the 5th Day the Lord said, “Let there be birds to fly in the air over the earth.” These included chicken. Haters will say that chicken doesn’t fly that much, but we read about those people that in the Bible. They have trouble accepting the Word.

Or

Origins:

An egg.

Composition

Chicken is made of the back, the thigh, the wing, the nkokonkulu, the entwingiri, and the neck. The neck is served to the guests at weddings who did not honour their pledges but still had the audacity to show up. 

Advantages and disadvantages of Chicken. 

Pros: 

  1. Delicious. Most delicious item ever.
  2. Stupid. You can find it walking freely in front of a restaurant or muchomo stall, and then, when it sees you looking at it, it acts as if you’re the weirdo.
  3. Egg production, which leads to rolex.
  4. Components of chicken can nourish local dogs, eg the claws. 

Cons

  1. Making noise for us. Chicken cannot be trained to shut up. Especially the boy child chicken.
  2. Ease of theft in villages and semi-urban settings, leading to increase in mob justice.
  3. Lack of diapers, leading to adverse effects of smell of our shoes when we step in chicken waste products without looking.
  4. How much it costs when you order it in a mall.

Conclusion:

Chicken are a valuable national resource in Ugandan society, alongside other cultural and economic artefacts. We urge members of parliament to empower the youth innovators with means to concoct chicken beer going forward.
