Just found this pic I took in 2019 at University in my room.
I was planning the 1st ever Makerere Medical school students-Alumi convention.
Was a successful event even though we had no funding from university but now I know why.
I had it all planned out, the funding, the activities and every details. Spent long hours writing and clearing the board.
It was the first and up to now, no one has ever organised another because it isn't a funded activity:
You plan everything, write letters looking for funding, get rejected by so many.
We sent out over 500 letters looking for money from people just to organise this event and got not more than 20 responses...
I now know why I can get through any situation... Makerere forged me.
@Muzooracliff@NellyKumba@Hmuyonjo@RuhwezaSylas@MCFMakerere@KingOyoOfficial@toorokingdompm Thank you, Adyeeri. Sometimes, words can't fully express certain degrees of pain. A beautiful soul ,so young, so vibrant, so loving with such a promising future. The pain was too much, you were brave, you fought so hard and gave us hope for a testimony. Sleep well, Atwooki .

Happy blessed birthday Abwooli..
Thank you for being the friend who’s been there since high school and still walks with me in faith today. May God’s grace and favor follow you all year. Enjoy your day! @
Most drivers don't realise that the most expensive moment in their driving career is almost always a moment where their word is up against somebody else's. A traffic officer's certainty. A boda's accusation. A parking lot dispute. A stranger who hit your car and rewrote the story before you explained yourself.
A 4K dash cam removes that entire category of risk in most cases.
I learned this firsthand at the Queensway flyover a few months ago. A traffic officer stopped me and was absolutely certain I had run a red light. His confidence was already a finished sentence. He seemed like he had already decided how the story was going to end.
Then suddenly he noticed my dash cam before i pointed it out.
I did not argue. I did not raise my voice. I did not offer to show him the footage. I simply mentioned that i have my journey recorded. The conversation changed in real time. He pivoted to compliments about my car. Mbu which kind of car is this with all this technology...😅 its so clean and nice, he said...
What was heading towards a fine, a long roadside negotiation or something worse ended quietly. I drove away just like that.
If you are considering buying a dash cam soon, here is what actually matters.
Resolution. 4K is the floor, not the ceiling. 1080p footage at night is too blurry to read a number plate. 4K reads it from across the road.
Field of view. About 140 degrees minimum. Anything narrower misses the side angles where most parking and lane-change incidents happen.
Night vision. A genuine low-light sensor like Sony Starvis or equivalent. Not a "night mode" sticker on the box.
Parking mode. The camera keeps recording while the car is parked. This is what catches the parking lot incidents nobody ever confesses to.
Storage. 128GB to 256GB microSD minimum. Smaller cards loop too fast and overwrite the footage you needed before you even knew you needed it.
Dual lens for front and rear coverage. Single lens for front only.
Price range for a quality 4K unit is between UGX 300k to 800k, depending on configuration. Anything under 250k is not worth it, quality and durability-wise.

Your car already has an engine. Give it eyes!👀
A decision made in the 70s in a golf club in New York caused this. See some executives wanted to dump some radioactive waste. This waste doesn't decompose like your traditional compost. It has a half life that keeps changing and is highly carcinogenic
The execs approach various people and finally end up approaching a Kenyan politician who agreed to a 50k USD bribe. In return they were to send the waste into Chalbi desert. The bribe was so little that the execs didn't even go for a board meeting to approve it. They agreed to pay right there over a round of golf.
Back in Kenya the politicians didn't inform the citizenry of what was to happen. The residents of the are just saw heavily protected guys dumping some stuff in the ground covered in tarp. In North Eastern Kenya, houses are mostly makeshift since they're pastoralists. They see this tarp as a good cover to their manyattas and they start digging up the waste and taking the protective paper. This had near instant repercussions. People started to fall Ill and soon that waste found its way downstream to Meru. If you look at the prevalence rate of cancer along that waterway you'll understand that politician's don't care about their own people
Planning for your deåth feels weird and morbid.
But you know what's actually morbid?
Leaving your family to play detective while they're grieving.
If you died tomorrow, could your family actually ACCESS anything?
Here's the checklist nobody wants to make, but every1 needs:
If you think Joseph was imprisoned just because he resisted her, read her first sentence.
We usually treat this story like a basic lesson on resisting temptation. Joseph runs away, stays honest, and keeps his integrity. That’s all true. But we don’t spend enough time talking about what happens after he does the right thing.
You could have ten years of perfect performance reviews. You’re the first one in the office and the last to leave. You’ve built a reputation as someone who doesn’t cut corners. People trust you. Your name commands attention in the room.
Then someone with more power decides to tell a different story about you.
In a single conversation, your ten-year track record suddenly feels vulnerable. The atmosphere changes. People start looking at you through the lens of an accusation instead of the person they’ve known. You realize something painful; that integrity does not always protect you when the other person controls the narrative.
That is the real tension in Genesis 39.
The Bible is careful to show how much Potiphar trusted Joseph. He put everything under his authority. Scripture even tells us Joseph was “handsome in form and appearance.” When Potiphar’s wife pursued him day after day, Joseph refused. He spoke from loyalty; “How then can I do this great wickedness and sin against God?” he said.
Then he ran, leaving his garment in her hand.
But see what happens next
She called the men of the house and said, “See, he has brought among us a Hebrew to laugh at us.” She did not say “Joseph.” She did not say “the overseer.” She said, “a Hebrew.” When she spoke to her husband, she repeated it; “The Hebrew servant, whom you have brought among us…”
Think about that for a moment…
In one sentence, she pulled him out of his position and placed him back in his class. Suddenly he is no longer a trusted manager or faithful servant, just “a Hebrew”; an outsider. The coat in her hand became evidence, and the “Hebrew” label became the lens.
When Potiphar heard his wife’s words, scripture says his anger burned. the Bible doesn’t record Joseph saying a single word to defend himself. He didn't argue his case. Genesis 39:20 simply says Potiphar took Joseph and put him into the prison.
Now, Egyptian law usually meant execution for this kind of thing. The fact that Joseph only got prison suggests Potiphar might have had doubts, or maybe he was just trying to save face. We are not told. What we are told is that Joseph did everything right and still ended up in a cell.
That's a lot to process. He refused, ran, honored God, and he still lost his position and reputation in a single afternoon.
Imagine sitting there, the whole thing replaying in his mind; the offer, refusal, shouting, footsteps and anger. You did exactly what God wanted, and instead your reward was a dungeon and a ruined reputation. Nobody is clapping for you. There’s no big "thank you" for your obedience.
And you know what, God didn't stop the lie.
He didn't strike the woman or burn the house down to prove Joseph was innocent. He let the injustice happen. Only after Joseph is locked away the Bible says, "But the Lord was with Joseph and showed him steadfast love".
Joseph’s story proves that obedience isn't a strategy to get the outcome you want. It is a decision about who you will be when the outcome turns against you. That kind of faith does not look impressive. It looks like waking up in a place you don't deserve to be and refusing to let bitterness take over.
You might be looking at your situation, waiting for "the truth" to come out so you can get your life back. but Joseph’s time in prison suggests your identity isn't found in being proven right, but in the fact that God is with you. He doesn't leave when your name is dragged through the mud.
When doing the right thing costs you your reputation, who are you if no one ever clears your name?

For those who have experienced corruption in Uganda’s courts, please share your experiences about how it works:
- How are bribes asked for?
- How are they paid?
- What do they normally ask money for?
- How do you get to suspect that a judicial officer could have taken a bribe?

What started as a Master plan is now a Wellness Center and here is what makes it very interesting.
For the first time in Uganda, we are changing the way different spaces function, about a year ago, we set off on a journey build the first of its kind wellness center that will serve to integrate tech, mental health and Research.
In these spaces , individuals will connect, heal and exchange skills and resources contributing to the shared integrated community-led wellness system.
Think about it for a second, we spend 90 percent of our time indoors, this can be homes, offices, schools and other buildings working, learning etc.
This means that these spaces where we spend a great deal of our time have a great impact on well being, the biophilic nature of eco-friendly living greatly restore this reducing stress while helping the mind to recover.
How does the spaces where you spend most of your time affect your wellbeing?
