He who assumes that proximity to power is power can never escape the wrath of bad policy.

[Ben Boro @BenBoro96]

Yes! A timely call indeed.

#SouthSudan’s economic stability requires fiscal discipline, transparent management of public resources, and strong institutions. The IMF’s call for fiscal and governance reforms is timely. The priority now is turning commitments into action. #SSOX

@RobertKayanja I will now listen to Pastor Gashumba. @FrankGashumba please accept your new convert.

@joseph_arike @atemK93 True. Funny enough, our government needn’t do much. Mere creation of a conducive investment climate and investing in human capital are enough.

@BukolaSalau2 I think all data analytics tools are great to start with…pick one, become good, and pick another as you solve varied problems. Not every entity uses all of them. So I might not really need to learn all of them.

[Ben Boro @BenBoro96]

@BukolaSalau2 Exactly, it’s about “learning the right tools for the job.” The problem is, if a beginner listens solely to varied online recommendations, he might end up learning tools instead of actual data analytics.

[Ben Boro @BenBoro96]

@GSticks16 @BukolaSalau2 Stick to it, learn it properly before starting another tool. If the companies you’re targeting use Excel, stick on it. Excel is still widely used.

@KagimuDrImran If you set out to solve everybody’s problem, you will become your own problem. I will only struggle for a child and the sick. The rest can as well wake up and hustle.

[Ben Boro @BenBoro96]

@JA_Olaoye Python and SQL are simply Data Analytics tools. Knowing how to identify a problem and how to solve it using these tools is the real gem.

@joseph_arike @atemK93 That’s why I said let’s enjoy trade openness. We are consuming a variety of goods we cannot produce. If SSD chooses to utilise its comparative advantage, well and good. But blaming a supplier for not producing is useless politics.

[Ben Boro @BenBoro96]

@frankbalkazerg1 The forces of money demand and supply cannot be 100 percent dictated by politicians alone. There are producers, suppliers, and consumers of goods and services who must win, otherwise the whole economic dwindles.

@Acholi_godddd Check Naava Grey, check Winnie Nwagi, check Juliana. Visit King Saha, and many more. Uganda has vocalists that SING beyond mere entertainment.

[Ben Boro @BenBoro96]

Good point Mr. Kalisto. However, don’t call it begging. It’s government’s role to use the taxes for services. Should we NOT beg for good roads and security?

[Eye Radio @EyeRadioJuba]

The caretaker Commissioner of Juba County, Kalisto Lado, says citizens should not have to beg government leaders for basic services, stressing that public services are funded by taxpayers’ money. #SSOX #SouthSudan

A politician who can do anything for votes is capable of selling a whole country.

@ruth__komuntale Even God cannot convince me that a child can make a life changing decision.

@Thebiglade Fuck fame…. sitting under a cool tree shade with a loved one and financial freedom is ULTIMATE

[Ben Boro @BenBoro96]

@hotniqqha In a conflict-torn country, a politician advised the youth against laziness and encouraged them to do farming like him. Turned out the politician’s farm was protected by an Army with guns and bullets.

@Badlemii We can now defecate in peace ✌🏿
