Lord I'm so grateful for your grace today,it is true your will never take me to a place where your grace can't keep me because I know in Proverbs 16:4,"the lord has made everything for a purpose"
@SpireJim My brother @SpireJim , I know you as a university Profeessor and you teach many of my friends & relatives. But I also know you as a very good cartoonist with intern'al accolades, at least according to your privious posts. Calling you an artist, was in that spirit. No bad taste.
My joy in this title winning is that NOBODY will say they carried this team to win it. This title belongs to everyone. And I mean EVERYONE.
Yes, Rice was elite.
Raya was elite.
Gabriel and Saliba were elite.
Timber was elite. Five players you point to and say — these are the best five this season. Fine.
But let me ask you something.
Do we win this title if Martinelli doesn't score that last-second equalizer against Man City?
Do we win it if Eze doesn't produce two maverick performances against Spurs to kill them off?
Do we win it if Saka doesn't score that one clinical goal against Brighton at the Amex — one goal, 1-0, job done?
Do we win it if Ødegaard doesn't come on and, like a man possessed, creates something from absolutely nothing? Do we win it without Trossard's goal against West Ham? Those two guys stepping up when it mattered most?
Do we win if Max Dowman doesnt come off the bench against Everton and wins us the game?
Do we win if Madueke doesn't score against Brentford (1-1) to keep the pressure on City?
Do we win if Merino — despite the whole world screaming "don't bring him on" — doesn't come on at St James' Park and scores the goal that wins it. Against chelsea to score the equaliser when they were ten men?
Do we win if Zubimendi doesn't score those two bangers against Nottingham Forest to help us put them to the sword 3-0.
And remember the beginning? Calafiori. Set piece. 1-0. Day one, telling us exactly what kind of season this was going to be. Do we win if not for him?
Then Zubimendi gasses out and Myles Lewis-Skelly walks into the team like he's been here for years.
Do we win if Kai Havertz didn't score from a corner, 1-0 against Burnley — doing exactly what the team needed.?
When Calafiori got injured. When Timber got injured. Do we survive without Mosquera and Hincapié coming in and performing at a level nobody expected? Do we survive without Ben White?
And even beyond all that — Jesus, Nwaneri — they weren't the league's critical performers, but they were around. They took the load off in cup competitions. They kept people fresh. They mattered.
This is what I find so incredibly beautiful about this title.
Nobody carried it. Nobody can look at this squad and say "I did that." Because everyone did that. From the starter who kept a clean sheet to the sub who came on for 15 minutes and scored. From the academy kid who nobody expected to the veteran who showed up when the season needed him most.
This is not a one-man trophy. This is not even a five-man trophy.
This is 25 men, a manager, a coaching staff, and a culture — all deciding in the same moment that this is the year.
Good old-fashioned football. A team sport. Beautiful, mehn.
So, if Arsenal doesn't win the Champions League; will that mean Aston Villa will have been more successful this season than the North Londoners in terms of how big the Europa trophy as compared to EPL?😒
Right?
Reminds me of the people that lose weight and suddenly become weight management coaches 😭, nutritionists mind you people go to school to become nutritionist! Bisesa🤌🏾
Even if you take Justin Nameere to basement, I’m sure she can’t keep quiet.
And she’s the only NRM woman who can win elections in Masaka.
In NRM,she’s a bigger asset compared Daudi Kabanda. In Mubende,anyone can win there .
NRM will weigh and see who has more impact and Kabanda might lose
Problem is you think your name is kobusingye,kembabazi or kebirungi
No you are a muganda and not part of that ruling class
Your boss has fallen,you are next
H.E @KagutaMuseveni sent his trusted security to take me home safely on Friday night after kabanda got updf copoloz and set them up for a botched arrest wic ended in Mpigi when sfc came for me. No case, no interrogation and no search at our home! @DaudiKabanda feel free to dream
RE: SPEAKERSHIP RACE
I wish to draw the attention of the public to the matters regarding the Speakership race.
After wide consultations and deep introspection, and to maintain harmony and clarity in my beloved party, the @NRMOnline, I wish to categorically and unequivocally state that I will not be offering myself for the Speakership race of the 12th Parliament.
I am greatly indebted to H.E @KagutaMuseveni, my party, the @NRMOnline, and members of the 11th Parliament for giving me the opportunity to serve as Deputy Speaker and Speaker.
I am equally indebted to my family and friends for the solidarity and support they have extended to me over the last five years.
I pledge my total support to the candidates who will be endorsed by the President and the Party, and Implore all colleague MPs of the 12th Parliament to do the same.
I shall remain available to the service of my country as the party and the President may assign me.
In the meantime, I pledge to continue cooperating with all ongoing investigations as initiated by the relevant organs of the state to get to the root of all the allegations raised.
FOR GOD AND MY COUNTRY.

Women shouldn't be in positions because they're women, they should be there because they're qualified to be.
You don't want to go to a hospital and you request for a surgeon because of sex, you want the most qualified surgeon be it a male or a female. Of course there are positions where being a man or a woman is also a qualification. Personally prefer female cashiers, they're more thorough with money and less shoddy.
If I have an endocrine surgery issue, I would go to Dr. Jane Fualal because she is a damn good endocrine surgeon.
Gender balance should only come in if there's a tie on skills and experience. Society can only be built if leaders are chosen on merit.
The biggest question would then be, how do you make sure more women have skills and qualifications, that's where you put focus. Train more, mentor more women such that when the time comes, they're finest surgeons, business experts, finest pilots...
The way Japanese people follow time needs to be studied.
Today I was rushing to the bank because banks in Japan close at exactly 3 PM.
Not “around 3.”
Not “a few minutes after 3.”
Exactly 3 PM.
I checked the time while I was still home and it was already 2:45 PM, so I started rushing because I knew there was no negotiating with Japanese time.
And this is the funny part.
I arrived at 2:54 PM and at around 2:59 PM, the staff were literally watching the clock.
The moment it hit 3 PM, the doors and curtains immediately started closing automatically.
Not 3:02.
Not “let this last customer enter quickly.”
3 PM means closed.
And this same obsession with time exists everywhere in Japan.
Just yesterday, some students came late to my class because the train had a delay.
But because Japanese society takes punctuality very seriously, the train company gave them delay certificates explaining that the train was responsible for their lateness.
So my students came into class holding official papers to prove:
“I am late because the train was late.”
Think about that for a second.
The train being late is considered such an unusual event that they give people written proof for it.
Japanese children grow up in a system where punctuality is deeply embedded into everyday life.
And honestly…
After living in Japan for years, you slowly begin realizing how much life people waste when they do not respect time.
Late meetings.
Late weddings.
Late appointments.
Late events.
People saying “I’m coming” while they are still bathing at home.
If there is one thing many societies can learn from Japan, it is respect for time.
Because when an entire society respects time collectively, everybody benefits.
Dear Denis, My name is Joan. I got married to my husband when I was 24, and together we have four children. We’ve been living a normal life, and everything was fine until last week when something happened.
I had never caught my husband cheating or even flirting with another woman. We both had access to each other’s phones and passwords, and we had always been faithful. That’s why what I’m about to share has completely broken my heart, and I feel so worthless right now.
A few weeks ago, my husband unexpectedly changed his phone password. When I asked why, he said he wanted a new one because someone at work might have learned the old password, so he didn’t feel safe. Because I trusted him, I believed his story, but it was all a lie 😭.
Denis, I started noticing some changes. My husband began coming home late several times, and when I asked, he said he’d had a stressful day at work and needed some time out. His job can be demanding, and I understood what he might be going through, so I didn’t question it much.
Then one particular day, he didn’t return home. When I asked, he said he had gone out with friends, drank too much, and passed out, so he slept at a friend’s place. By this time, I had started sensing that something wasn’t right.
To cut a long story short, all this time my husband had been secretly organizing a wedding with a woman who had introduced me to him 😭😭😭😭. A close friend later told me they had actually been dating since the day she introduced him to me 💔💔. At first, she didn’t want him because he was poor, so she connected him to me. I was young and didn’t mind his financial situation, so I fell in love. He’s very handsome, I couldn’t resist. He’s caring, loving, and responsible.
He worked very hard to build the life we have now, and he’s now wealthy, I can’t deny that. When this friend saw that he was doing well, she came back for him with full force.
On the day he came home late, they had gone for kukyala, and on the day he didn’t return home, they had a kwanjula 💔💔💔😭😭😭😭.
Last weekend was their wedding 💔💔💔😭😭. I feel betrayed. I feel terrible. I gave this man my life, only for him to treat me this way.
He hasn’t returned home since last week. He knows that I know. He doesn’t pick up my calls. My children miss him so much. He had such a strong bond with them, and now they’re asking questions I don’t have answers to 😭😭😭😭😭😭.
Denis, I feel played.
