If you had told me 10 years ago that a billionaire would accuse humans of drinking too much water in 2026 because data centres need it to power the AI tech that is now threatening our entire way of life, I would have told you to write a better Bond villain, because wtf?

As an Arsenal fan,I must admit we have got some of the most insufferable fans.

I hate Saka slander. He's having a horrific season by his standards but he carried us for 3 seasons past & there's one where when he was out injured 4 an extended period of time, we were so useless. When we win this season, I want him to know that we wouldn't be here without him.

What shall Arsenal do now without Mikel Obi’s recognition?

[Blick Leonard Tukashaba @BlickLeonard]

That this shallow opinion is coming from someone who played football as a professional is even more disturbing. Anyways,he can keep his recognition and feed on it for years. It doesn't matter at all.

[talkSPORT @talkSPORT]

❌ "I wouldn't recognise Arsenal as winners!"

😡 "For me, they've cheated their way to winning the Premier League!"

John Obi Mikel really, really doesn't like the way #AFC are using set pieces to win the Premier League... 👀

Ugandan society has bred a generation of late 40s to middle age men who can't seem to survive outside of state patronage. Yet they attained some of the best education, are well traveled, somes speak quite eloquently but just can't do without government perks.

[Blick Leonard Tukashaba @BlickLeonard]

With all this whining,we may as well stop counting set-piece goals and opponents' own goals bar Arsenal's.

@TimKalyegira @serugo @TonyNatif @kasujja The shoe has fit,huh?

[Timothy Kalyegira @TimKalyegira]

@TonyNatif @kasujja Not to pour water on Alan's appointment, but every public official today knows it's not being smart or patriotic that counts.

Rather, it's knowing that we are in a feudal kingdom with one family ruling from a castle, and everyone politely bowing and deferring to the monarchy.

Uganda’s January 25-26 Paradox: Liberation Day, Bloodshed, and the Long Shadow of Power
In Uganda, January 26 is National Resistance Movement Liberation Day and a public holiday. It marks the date in 1986 when the National Resistance Army and Movement, led by Yoweri Museveni, took control of the capital, Kampala. Forty one years later, Museveni is still firmly in power. He was sworn in on January 29.
While the Liberation is celebrated on January 26, the heaviest urban fighting to seize the capital actually took place on January 25. That day witnessed the final bloody collapse of the Tito Okello government, before the NRA fully secured the city the following morning.
However, the victory almost did not happen even then, due to a serious tactical blunder. On January 26, as the NRA was capturing Radio Uganda, about 1,000 adversary troops from the Uganda National Liberation Army, the sitting government army, broke through from Entebbe, the old capital and the site of Uganda’s main airport, and rushed towards Kampala. To stop them, several accounts say Museveni and his brother Salim Saleh, then the lead NRA field commander, were forced to pull troops from their cordon around the city. This created a massive gap that allowed thousands of government soldiers to flee Kampala entirely, although some NRA veterans insist this was deliberate, to leave the enemy an escape route.
There is, however, a historical curiosity surrounding the January 25 and 26 cluster of dates which, depending on one’s political position, is remembered either as Uganda’s Black Date, the January Curse, or more positively, the January Juncture.
•January 25, 1962 marked the birth of the KY UPC alliance. On that day, the Buganda Cabinet agreed to ally with Milton Obote’s Uganda People’s Congress. While it paved the way to independence, historians often describe it as the genesis of trouble, because it produced an unworkable political marriage that later exploded in the 1966 crisis, entrenched ethnic animosity, and set in motion a political polarisation that still haunts Uganda 64 years later.
•January 25, 1970 saw the murder of Brigadier Pierino Okoya. The Deputy Army Commander and his wife were brutally assassinated at their home. This was a decisive turning point. Okoya was Idi Amin’s main rival within the army, and his killing cleared the path for Amin’s rise while deepening ethnic divisions within the military.
•January 25, 1971 brought the Idi Amin coup. Exactly one year after Okoya’s murder, Amin seized power while President Obote was away in Singapore. The coup ushered in eight years of terror, economic collapse, and the deaths of an estimated 300,000 people.
•January 25 and 26, 1986 marked the Battle for Kampala, with the NRA finally securing the city in the early hours of January 26. It ushered in the longest rule in Uganda’s history, and arguably in East Africa, with Museveni now in power for 41 years. Following his recent re election, he will have accumulated nearly 46 years by the next election, surpassing the 44-year reign of Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie, andthe longest in East Africa, Central Africa, and the Horn.
It is also remarkable how the NRA, now the Uganda People’s Defence Forces, evolved from a rugged insurgent force (in photo entering Kampala in January 1986) into the steely army it is today, alongside the opulence into which some of the National Resistance Movement’s leaders have since settled.

I hope the people in places of power understand that apathy of the people and profound disengagement from the happenings around them isn't because they're happy or contented. They're beaten and tired of fighting but don't confuse the quiet submission & deference for weakness.

[Blick Leonard Tukashaba @BlickLeonard]

👌🏾 This has been Uganda's problem for very long. It's actually that I don't think we are about to get cured from.

[HAROLD👑 @HaroldTurijay]

No, we won't! On the @checkmate256 we talked about a dangerous class of Ugandans who have conveniently delegated the role of change to their countrymen & stick to bizarre analysis of issues to make themselves feel wise, only to come back to complain when they become victims.

Last year, my wife, friends and I had this 'brilliant' idea: drive our 30+ years Mercedes from Tanzania all the way to the southernmost tip of Africa.

36 days, 13,663 kilometers and 7 countries later;

Here is the story of our epic road trip:

I had a million opportunities to waste money this year and I took them all. In fact, even when there wasn’t an opportunity, I created one.
