From wiki:
quote:
In 1977, when Britain broke diplomatic relations with Uganda, Amin declared he had defeated the British and added "CBE", for "Conqueror of the British Empire", to his title. Radio Uganda then announced his entire title: "His Excellency President for Life, Field Marshal Alhaji Dr. Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, CBE"
quote:
His full self-bestowed title ultimately became: "His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular"
quote:
In July 1975, Amin staged a £2 Million wedding to 19 year old Sarah Kyolaba, a go-go dancer
quote:
Before she met Amin, she was living with a boyfriend, Jesse Gitta; he vanished and it is not clear if he was beheaded, or detained after fleeing to Kenya.

He used a lot of British acronyms in his title, but they weren't the actual awards. CBE became Conquerer of the British Empire instead of Commander. VC was Victorious Cross instead of Victoria Cross.
He was a fricking nut, but could be personable and charismatic at times. He once did a press conference wearing orange coveralls with a bunch of crap attached to them to announce that he was offering his services to NASA to be the first black astronaut.
