I’m really jealous of our Rwandan neighbours. Everytime we seem like we are catching up with them, they do some wild stuff & jump straight back into a massive lead.
Now they’re revolutionizing their education by cutting classroom time by 2 whole hours each day. Originally, classes started at 8:30am and ran till 5:00pm. Now they’ll start at 8:30am and run till 3:30pm.
The goal is to reduce student fatigue & enable learners have time for sports, clubs, digital education, arts, music, community activities & other extracurricular programs that support holistic development.
From 8:30am to 3:30pm they’ll be in class and then after that they’ll focus on other disciplines till 5pm after which they’ll go home. On Friday, learners will go home at 3:30pm so that teachers can have time to plan for the next week’s programs.
Colleagues, I have to admit that our friends in 250 are doing something right. I’m officially jealous.
dear apple, the iPod needs to come back. not for nostalgia. for the parents who want their kids to love music and audiobooks without a browser, social media, and the whole internet attached to it
You do not have unlimited time.
Your death will come on an ordinary day, in the middle of unfinished plans, and the world will continue on without you.
We are pleased to announce the appointment of @JacklineNatuku1 as our new Managing Partner.
We extend our warmest congratulations and wish her success in during her tenure.
You will be tempted to show that you are doing well, but it is important you resist the urge to perform for an audience that don’t matter - and maybe isn’t even watching
Dear @PoliceUg if traffic laws don’t apply to boda Bodas then perhaps let’s allow the Wild West on the roads for a bit!
Law and order on the road should not be optional!
i have said this multiple times
while i was in secondary school, i wrote “DO NOT OPEN, BY POLICE ORDER” with chalk on the front door of all the shops we rented out in front of our house. i came back from school in the evening and saw all the shop owners and their staffs standing outside with the shops closed.
when i asked why they weren’t opened, their boss was like “are you blind, can’t you see that police has sealed the shop?” they had called my dad who had also called the commissioner of police in kwara to ask why his shops were sealed by police. the commissioner said they didn’t do anything like that.
my heart was already pounding cos it was meant to be a joke and didn’t expect these full grown adults to take it seriously.
my dad came back that night and said i would have to go an explain to the commissioner why i did what i did. i started running away from home anytime he was around so he would forget about the incident 😂😂
People will adopt American and UK accents but dare you be a fan of afrosinema lingo and suddenly it’s cliche? Wahalla for who no get colonialist braincells
To get away with murder, all you need is a British army uniform. #AgnesWanjiru, a young mother, died, her killer went home, protected by the state that that loves to lecture the world about "human rights" & "rule of law". Does "imperial privilege" rank higher than a human life?
My Boda guy today - not my usual one- finds out I am going to a hospital. “Oh dear! What a pity! What happened?” (Loosely translating from Luganda) I mumbled - Ah, you know, when your people are unwell.
We reach the hospital, he cuts down the fee by 2k because ahh you have many problems already, today you go deal with them.
I hate to be the one that breaks the chain of kindness. I paid it forward.
Nothing warms my heart like the random empathy and kindness of a stranger.
Pay it forward people. Always do.
i have an uncle who responds to text messages after two months, no one knows where he lives exactly & he shows up when he wants to.
he's one of my role models.😭
