"We now have an apartheid education system in Uganda. In the government schools; no knowledge. In private schools; some knowledge. In international schools [of the rich]; much knowledge. We should disband this system," @kizzabesigye1.

@ChelseaFC -Harram, but great game management.
- Colwill is amazing. His line-breaking passes are incredible.
- Great forward press, Joao.
- Good game, Fofana.
Let’s go blues! Believe!
Thank you for your reply and for offering the certificates you believe are your qualifications. Let us examine if together, publicly here.
1. You actually make my point - that you have no PhD qualification. An honorary doctorate does not qualify you to sign government documents as a Dr. It is the point we have been trying to make here for a bit now. It is the reason @nche_uganda issued guidelines I drew your attention to.
A rigorous and discerning mind, and a keen reader, would have read the document and understood it. You can read it again. It is not too long.
2. A master class certificate is not a master's degree qualification. This point should be very easy to decipher, Madam Minister. You may have been misled to believe that it was, but I am afraid it is not.
3. The schools whose documents you share here are dubious schools that have issued such documents to many people here. They do it for a fee of about $5,000. They have sent me emails every year for over five years now. See a screenshot of one such email below.
Interestingly, many recipients/buyers of these fake degrees are the most common users of these fake Dr titles, even more than those who are academically qualified.
We have taken this initiative to keep our people a little honest and to protect the prestige of knowledge production and respect for those who put in the hard labor of PhD study.
We mean no disrespect to you and only ask you to follow the rules and avoid any misrepresentation. Credentials without accompanying knowledge and credibility is the biggest fraud in our society. We expect better from our leaders.
@ChelseaFC Finally we score a goal. Thanks Enzo - great game.
Garnacho is very useless though.
Great midfield balance today.
Players playing with some intent today.
Great game Joao Pedro!
@Blue_Footy Let’s get Terry and McFarlane as interim until the end of the season. Liam has nothing to offer.
Thank God for Maresca. He got us some points. Otherwise we would be in a relegation battle.
@ChelseaFC Liam’s team is really poor.
Slow buildup; lack of focus; silly goals to concede; all down to lack of experience and coaching problems.
Season is over. Only positive is, perhaps, Enzo
@ChelseaFC Andrey Santos is our best player. His defensive awareness is so underrated.
Great game, Hato.
Good game, Palmer, especially the defensive contribution.
Great game, Joao Pedro.
Estevao quite silent. Poor card to get.
Really great application of the players.
@AKasingye And went on to have a better career than any of the lads at that small London club in red. Won titles that only appeared as fictive imaginations to them.
I have observed individuals on this platform, who present themselves as pan Africanists, criticising Hon. Kyagulanyi (@HEBobiwine) for engaging with authorities on Capitol Hill. Their principal argument is that “African problems must be solved exclusively by Africans.” While this position may appear principled at first glance, it becomes less convincing when examined against historical and present realities.
For several decades, the government of Pres. Museveni has depended significantly on U.S. financial assistance, military cooperation, and strategic partnerships to maintain its authority and sustain its programmes. Substantial volumes of development aid, security sector support, and bilateral trade arrangements have played a central role in underpinning our current political order.
Contrary to the accusations levelled against him, Hon. Kyagulanyi is not requesting that the U.S. assumes responsibility for resolving Uganda’s or Africa’s internal challenges. Rather, he is respectfully urging Washington to stop providing unconditional support to repressive regimes, to refrain from enabling continued violations of human rights and democratic principles through unchecked aid, military assistance, and diplomatic cover. In any case, such a call aligns closely with pan African ideals because it seeks to protect African citizens from domestic authoritarianism by removing the external forces that have prolonged their oppression.
Authoritarian governments, by their nature, prefer that their opposition remains strictly domestic. When dissent is confined within national borders, it is far easier to suppress without attracting meaningful international scrutiny or consequences. However, when legitimate grievances are brought to global attention, there’s a possibility of action, which can be in the form of sanctions, suspension or reduction of foreign aid, and diplomatic isolation. This, if realised, can actually impose real costs on those in power.
So the criticisms directed at Hon. Kyagulanyi for seeking international solidarity appear less as genuine expressions of pan African conviction and more as efforts to safeguard the prevailing political and economic arrangements that benefit those presently in power. Genuine commitment to African liberation and self determination requires consistency. If external partnerships are acceptable when they sustain those in government, they cannot reasonably be condemned when employed by citizens seeking accountability and justice. True pan Africanism embraces every effective avenue, be it, local resistance, regional cooperation, and principled international pressure, to secure dignity, freedom, and accountable governance for African people.
