As the topic implies i dont know if Idi Amin Dada really said this as what he usually said was  jokes.

Idi wanted to turn Uganda's name to IDI so that his mighty power should be known worlwide and at a cabinet meeting he told his ministers (not proposed as was normal). But one courageous minister reminded him that with due respect to the president he should take into consideration that people in Uganda are to be called after the name of the country i.e Ugandan's. He referred to a country called Cyprus where citizens are called Cypriots so he told Idi that it wouldnt be wise to call former Ugandan,s

IDIOTS
