A well‑known radio journalist in Lango and respected Taekwondo Master, Charles Osendro, has urged Lira City authorities to formally recognize musician Brazen Rule for his outstanding contributions to the region’s cultural identity and heritage.

Osendro noted that as far back as 2006, long before Lira achieved city status, Brazen Rule released the visionary track “Lira City.” He said the song’s prophetic message has since materialized, making it timely and appropriate for city leaders to acknowledge the artist’s contribution.He proposed that the authorities consider offering a financial token of appreciation or establishing a permanent tribute — such as naming a street or public building after him, for example, “Brazen Rule Block.” According to Osendro, individuals with such rare foresight deserve to be remembered by future generations.Osendro also highlighted that Brazen Rule is the composer behind the beloved “Lango Province” anthem, a song widely embraced across the region. Despite this, the musician is often missing from official performances when the Lango Province team takes to the pitch.He questioned why, in a region with many educated, wealthy, and influential leaders including Ministers, Members of Parliament, Mayors, LC5 Chairpersons, and other dignitaries the artist has not been properly appreciated.Recognizing Brazen Rule at official events, Osendro said, would not only uplift the musician but also motivate other local creators who contribute to the region’s cultural identity.He concluded with a strong appeal to leaders: “Let our leaders wake up and give credit where it is due. May God open your eyes to see the value of our own.”
