Bajjo Events has been targeted
by promoter Abitex Promotions for what he sees as an outburst of strong
emotions and a transgression of cultural standards.
Abiex, who feels that such
behavior is inappropriate and unseemly for a man, is enraged by Bajjo's public
display of his emotions and his act of bowing before Doreen Nasasira during
their romantic outing.
Expert in the nuances of
Buganda customs, Abitex has pointed out that traditionally, women kneel before
males, not the other way around.
Bajjo has drawn criticism and
diminished the respect and dignity that are customarily attributed to African
men by departing from this cultural standard.
He feels that Bajjo's actions
not only reflect poorly on him personally, but they also support unfavorable
stereotypes about African men, who are frequently depicted as weak or
hypersensitive.
Abitex, who is disappointed,
has asked Bajjo to think twice about what he did and to stick to the ideals and
standards that constitute African masculinity.
