THE LATE PRESIDENT OF UGANDA, Idi Amin wanted to change the name of Uganda to Idi. Everybody in his Cabinet agreed because they were afraid of him. But there was one man, Malyamungu. He said to Idi Amin, "Your excellency do you know a country called Cyprus?" Idi Amin said to him,"What does Cyprus have to do with the changing of Uganda to Idi?"
Malyamungu replied, the citizens of Cyprus are called Cypriots. If we change the name of Uganda to Idi, we, the Ugandans shall be called Idiots" and the world will call us idiots, which we are not.
Idi Amin looked at him and said "You and I are the most intelligent men in this cabinet. The name of the country shall remain Uganda and so it remained to this day.
He was a lone voice yet it stopped the madness of the most despotic dictator that Africa has ever produced. The silence of good people makes evil to prevail.
MORAL LESSONS
1. THE POWER OF COURAGEOUS TRUTH : Malyamungu demonstrated that speaking up against wrongdoing, even in the face of danger, can prevent disastrous decisions. Silence in the presence of injustice allows it to flourish.
2. WISDOM OVER FEAR: While others in the cabinet agreed out of fear, Malyamungu used wisdom and reasoning to counter Idi Amin’s idea. Intelligence, when used wisely, can challenge tyranny.
3. ONE VOICE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE : Even when surrounded by silence, one bold individual can change the course of events. It only takes one person to challenge a bad idea and steer things in the right direction.
4. DICTATORSHIP THRIVES ON SILENCE: Evil prevails when good people refuse to act. The willingness to challenge authority when necessary is essential in preventing the abuse of power.
5. LEADERS NEED HONEST ADVISERS: A leader surrounded by fearful and sycophantic followers will make poor decisions. Good leadership requires advisers who are willing to speak the truth, no matter how uncomfortable.
6. NAMES AND IDENTITY MATTER: The story also emphasizes how names shape identity.
