You’ve probably heard of the saying, Ugandans don’t wear a Rolex, they eat it! It is absolutely true, what we do with the Rolex is, roll it up and straight to the mouth. So here’s is the difference between the international Rolex and the Ugandan Rolex. In Uganda, we don't wear Rolex, we eat it. 2. Home to Iddi Amin. One of Uganda's biggest exports is it's former president Iddi Amin who ruled the country from 1971-1979. He named himself the conqueror of the British Empire and he's also most famous for expelling Asian from the country in order to give back the Ugandan economy to Ugandans. 3. Equator crosses through Uganda. Earth’s equator is an imaginary line dividing the North and South hemispheres. There are only a few countries that the equator runs through, including Ecuador and the Democratic Republic of Congo. In Uganda, the equator is located 75 km south of Kampala, where you can purchase memorabilia and watch cool equator water experiments. 4. Best African English-speaking Country. Uganda is known as the number one African country when it comes to the English language. According to a study that was done by the World Linguistic society, it ranked Uganda as the African country with the best accent. 5. Most Entrepreneurial country in the world. Uganda has the most number of business startups annually though many of these never get to celebrate their one year anniversary. 6. Home to the second-largest Fresh Water lake (Lake Victoria). Its surface area more than 26,000 square miles, Lake Victoria (named for Queen Victoria) is the biggest lake on the continent of Africa and the globe’s second-largest freshwater lake, trailing North America’s Lake Superior. 7. Uganda has its own time. You’re probably now wondering which kind of time only belongs to Uganda. I am not talking about the EAT, CAT, or PST time; our time is called “Ugandan time.” International or normal time as many call it is the real-time ( for example if the appointment is at 3 pm, normal time will be at 3 pm). 8. Source of the Nile. River Nile which is the longest river in the world happens to have its source in Uganda. This river starts from Uganda nad it moves up north to Egypt whee it pours its waters in the Mediterenean sea. 9. Matooke/Banana Republic.
