 ABOUT THE TRANSCRIBER:
-Edward Aikobua (+256-781-345712) is a committed Black Ugandan Artist pennamed "Aiko" (shortened from Ayiko meaning "Happiness" in Lugbara). Born in Jinja on Saturday 7th January 1984, he is the 2nd son (though 6th child out of 7) to Elizabeth Ndezo (from Ayivu) and James Dramani (from Ojapi in Maracha). During the 90s in Bantuland, he had no desire to visit Arua, but since the Y2K Doom's Day prophecy failed, he decided to tour the land where his Lugbara ancestors are resting from Tuesday 1st to Sunday 6th February 2000 at 16 years old. Aiko named his Art label "AikoGraphics" in Arua on Sunday 2nd February 2003 and graduated from Uganda Christian University (Mukono Campus) in 2006. After researching his tribe, Aiko began blogging in 2008 before creating his own one-page electronic Lugbara Dictionary since 2016. His goal is to improve speech-2-text technology in detecting his mother tongue...
