‘Am present’ which was produced from the Nigara Studios, has hit the ground rolling, that it has already gone viral just after its release on social media to the public.
Twilight takes advantage of the current situation by using commonly used words during the corona virus pandemic and the fact children are not going to school anymore. He mimics a class teacher making a class roll call of the students. He starts by greeting his students and apologizing for the inconveniences the pandemic has caused, explaining that a roll call must be carried out to confirm that students are okay.
This video has many Ugandans on social media excited. Upon watching the video, Babra Nabalayo wrote: “I can’t stop teething (laughing). But who is this teacher? Is he also a teacher or just a musician?”
Another lady called Christine wrote: “Proud to be Ugandan. My ribs, I can’t stop laughing.”
The visuals are enhanced by a group called Bullet Dancers, a dance troupe that employs the art of dance and comedy in their skits. The catchy parts of the video are how the ‘students’ respond to their names, when called. While some dance, others jump up dramatically.
