“Nobody should pin their hopes on a miracle” Vladimir Putin

To serve it's unique needs and to competitively situate itself geopolitically in the shortest time possible, every state must develop a governance system that is reflective of its heritage and geography. Such efficiency may not be delivered by a Democracy.

It is painful to admit but the next president of Uganda has to be an autocrat – with modern characteristics. They have to use Museveni-type violence to undo Museveni’s mess. Our prayer is that they have their hearts in a right place, i.e., love for country.

Yes, sadly, painfully, democracy never translates into rule of law (here or abroad). It is itself a corrupting and easily-corruptible tradition. It is expensively performative, yet a highway to foreign extraction.

The Cards for Uganda's Speakership race are no longer close to the chest, they are being mined beneath the Skin.

The Irony of discussing "Beyond Oil" when most African Countries are just dipping their feet into the Oil. Another case of the Global North setting the Global Agenda. This is where energy transitions really get interesting. - Bergen, Norway.

In many countries Immigrants tend to do better than locals e.g Indians and Chinese in Uganda. While some would argue that these have better access to capital, the reality is actually related to better risk taking and hard work. It takes guts to leave everything to persue a dream.

@DailyMonitor Are you serious? About $27m for a cubesat? A CubeSat whose cameras can be picked off a shop shelf. Damn!!!!!!!!! When you know better, you do better.

Why should this surprise you @SpireJim? Take a look at the voting map of the last elections we had. This is common for young states like Uganda rising from Kingdoms and chiefdoms. You don't achieve unification and true national identity in 60 years. It's a slow painful process.

If social media is anything to go by, there appears to be an ethnic pattern in the names defending the different political camps and bashing the other. Well, maybe the names are fake

@Titefred2 @dariuskats @cdfupdf @observerug He was flying a routine cargo plane to Congo. This was a routine flight path.

Right decisions are normally the uncomfortable ones. For the very reason that they go against the grain and require growth and grit to see through.

After his suicidal food regimen, Dr. K is turning human again. I hope no one has died from @drkasenene's stoic November challenge.

Ghee aka clarified butter is probably the dairy product that is best tolerated

During production of ghee almost all the lactose and casein are removed. And although it has fat,it has a type called conjugated linoleic acid that is actually healthy and anti inflammatory.

Use some

The rise of Bobi wine is reminiscent of the fact that in a democracy, popularity wields more political capital than capacity. In fact the masses never tell the difference and the tweeting General knows this all too well.

[Benon B Nabaasa @BenonNabaasa]

In a capitalist society, you don't compete by putting up a lavish show of capital, you compete by always raising capital for production, indefinitely at that.

@kasujja Just moved my hour hand an hour back here in Nottingham. It's a such a confusing feeling @kasujja

@CanaryMugume Now wonder they can't meet you. They have nothing to tell feed your familiar inquisitions.

[Benon B Nabaasa @BenonNabaasa]

@CanaryMugume I don't think we can genuinely talk of climate activists in Uganda @CanaryMugume. They simply don't exist. Most I know are clamoring for western media and scholarships. The are just a confused bunch with no clear agenda and ready parrots for western echoing.

The challenge is in maintaining the highest ideals in the filthiest environments.

Whether you believe in God or not, you can't escape the discipline that the world requires. That's a constant.

@DLwasa A very big applause to you Ambrose, it wasn’t easy I know and Thank you Professor Shuaib. You are a great mentor. Having read through Ambrose’s thesis, I think it goes a long way in addressing several resilience questions in Pastoralist Karamoja. Kudos
