Lately, i have become very cautious about attending weddings. Last year, three couples i knew got married, and i happily attended all their ceremonies, fully dressed and ready to celebrate with them. This week, i was shocked to learn that all three marriages have already ended in divorce. It really made me pause and think.
More than 500 people attended those weddings. If each ceremony lasted about eight hours, that means around 12,000 hours of people’s time went into celebrating unions that did not even last a year and then there is the money. Each wedding reportedly cost as much as building a five bedroom house. When you put it that way, it feels painful to think about how much was spent and how little remained.
It makes me wonder, are people marrying people they barely know? Are we rushing into marriage without truly understanding each other’s values, character, and how we handle conflict? When i think about our grandparents and our parents, their marriages were not perfect. They struggled, they argued and life was hard. It was never a bed of roses. But they stayed, they tried and they raised families.
Today, we are seeing more single parents and more children growing up between two homes. Some children can only meet one parent at the gate because the other is not allowed inside. These are not just personal stories. They shape the kind of society we are becoming.
If we keep quiet about this, we risk raising a generation that is emotionally broken. We need to talk honestly about marriage, about preparation, about patience, and about what commitment really means. Otherwise, we will keep celebrating beautiful weddings while quietly ignoring the heartbreak that follows. #Society

Psychosocial support services to refugees like Said is not a luxury, it's a lifeline.
“It’s a red line, Mr. President, for my Country to be allegedly accused of genocide when we know that this is a criteria that international law guides. There’s no mechanism that has called for that, and I will not allow for that to be mentioned here in the UN premises and accept that this happens under your watch, Mr. President. I want you to please address this. It’s not an allegation that we will accept.”

Good exchange with President @PaulKagame on Rwanda’s inclusive, forward-looking refugee policies and on opportunities created by the Washington peace initiative.
Solving issues related to refugees from DRC and Rwanda is one of them. UNHCR is ready to play its facilitating role.
@imfurayiwacu I back you KNC. we are actually not feeding our children with African context based education. We only memorise what westerners want us to blindly swallow. Which make our future dying for trying to be like Europeans or Americans.
@Johnojaraolanya@AfricaFactsZone Rwanda mind is not that small. We create tangible opportunities that fit our big mind and for future generations. I would advise you to come and learn, I am sure you will go back with something helpful.
This week, @pfrwanda & @Unity_MemoryRw staff, along with District officials from @Nyamagabe, @NyanzaDistrict, & @Muhangadis, monitored and evaluated the progress of the project in building Social Healing, Cohesion, and Resilience among Rwandans.
What was the purpose!? The flag is not an issue, rather the message the pastor gave. If they are encouraged to read the bible and follow it's divine scripture, then it is ok.
