When you succeed in life, find time to light your family's fire. So that if your own fire goes out, they can also return the favor and light your fire back. There's a risk of darkness if you are the only light in the family.
Uganda’s ruling party rejects Museveni’s reported plan to position son as successor. It’s a temporary writer's block on a book titled, “From Revolution to Dynasty: Uganda’s Movement That Never Moved Out of State House”.

We need to stop selling weaponry to foreign governments that use it to do the worst things, including genocide and apartheid and war. https://t.co/7nhYsPB3q6

There is something particularly striking about the way Sheikh Kiti articulates his dissatisfaction. The language is unembellished, the vocabulary commonplace, yet the message is profoundly incisive and carries an unmistakable weight of pain.
It forces us to confront uncomfortable truths and reflect on our collective experience. Perhaps the greatest disservice we can do to the next generation is to remain silent about the realities we have endured.
What a generation refuses to confront, the next is often condemned to inherit.
These days when you lose a loved one, it is double tragedy. You can’t focus on only grieving, the mourners expect to be fed with good food. And because you also want to appear to be of some status, you need to hire Funeral Services. Forget the Ubuntu funeral of the past where the village catered for everything and let you only grieve.
Give us this day our daily bread
Good morning beautiful people, may we win and be favored today

I often wonder how many gifted people the world has lost simply because they were born into poverty. People who could have become exceptional at something but never had the money, support or opportunity to explore their abilities.
African governments are using concocted "treason" charges to silence their political opposition -- for example, in Uganda, Zambia, and Tanzania. https://t.co/9K7LVebgNe
The word "patriotism" has a strange meaning in Uganda!
The man who uses state apparatus to abduct Ugandans, torture them, & share evidence of the crime on social media is praised for his patriotism, while those who call out what he does are labelled "haters of Uganda"...
I like how our elites see all that is happening in Ug and act surprized when a level 4 travel advisory is slapped on Uganda, it’s the funniest thing to see 😂
Those who want to take advantage of our suicidal labour socialise us into thinking that we are on earth to only work. How did our lives get structured in such a way that we spend all our day working, and then return home to sleep for a few hours, resting to prepare for another full day of labour! We’ve been made to think that it is for our survival, but when you think deeply about it, you find much more. How come every other free animal spends its day chilling, grazing, playing, flying, laying in the cool bushes, … but it’s only the human to spend most of his/her lifetime labouring! Is that a mark of the special rationality we claim or historically designed and rationalised slavery that we are simply socialised into?
