Terrence Howard confuses KOT with his hydrogen technology project in Uganda
Kenyans and Ugandans on Twitter have questioned renowned American actor Terrence Howard’s innovation after he revealed his plans to develop a hydrogen technology plant in Uganda.
Howard, who is famed for his role as Lucious Lyon in the drama series Empire, has caused an online stir with his planned hydrogen technology which many people don’t seem to understood.
Howard made the revelations during his visit to Uganda where he met President Yoweri Museveni and top government officials in the country.
“I want to develop hydrogen technology in Uganda. The main purpose of the project will be to defend the sovereignty of the country as far as technology is concerned,” Howard said.
The actor also spoke about some ambiguous Lynchpin drone project, which he described as a new form of flight that would replace drones and planes.
President Museveni, who attended Howard’s project pitch, later formally welcomed the actor and his partner to the country.
“I had a fruitful discussion with American actor and technopreneur Mr Terrence Dashon Howard and his wife Ms Miranda Pak. I welcome the couple and their team to the Pearl of Africa and wish them a pleasant and memorable stay,” President Museveni tweeted.
However, social media users have questioned his project with critics terming it as farfetched. Others pointed out that some American stars have in the past come up with projects for Africa which never saw the light of the day.
Here are some comments that have been shared on Twitter:
I will be glad when we stop conflating celebrity status with expertise – because what is Terrence Howard talking about? Big science fair presentation energy for real-life issues. https://t.co/tWZ7uwi0KK

I think Terrence Howard expected to find all of us living in the wilderness with wild animals, ignorant & illiterate so that he can come with his fraudster moves and saviourism.

Celebrities have big ideas for Uganda. Akon: “Akon City, which will operate using my own cryptocurrency, Akoin”.
Kanye West: “Uganda should be like Jurassic Park”. Terrence Howard: “Bringing a new form of flight to Uganda using the geometry of hydrogen”. pic.twitter.com/IcGwmOfBYF— Nancy Kacungira (@kacungira) July 13, 2022
May be that video of Terrence Howard is a scene from a movie they're shooting here in Uganda

From Akon City and his Akoin to Kanye West’s Jurassic Park and now Terrence Howard with the mighty geometry of hydrogen.

There must be a broker somewhere who is telling Hollywood stars about how easy and quick it is to manipulate, take advantage of and exploit Ugandans starting with the Head of State, they fly to Uganda and sell utopia ideas and leave – Kanye West, to Akon now to Terrence Howard.
