@reynoldbwiiso @GodwinTOKO @solomonking @PoliceUg On a fair note btw, the reason car owners tend to be relatively disciplined is because there’s a repercussion to indiscipline in form of fines. Consequences have a way of making people tread with caution. Traffic officers will never stop bodas during spot checks.

@reynoldbwiiso @GodwinTOKO @solomonking @PoliceUg Quite an interesting argument you’ve got there. However, I believe the missing link is the discipline on the roads by boda riders. Even if roads are widened, these chaps will still want to ride in the middle of the road.

It's hard for me to explain to those outside #Uganda just how irritated the Ugandans are to be lumped in with DRC for the #Ebola epidemic. As of this writing, there have been hundreds of deaths and over 1000 cases in Congo, whereas Uganda has had only 9 cases -- three Congolese, four medical workers who treated them, one driver who drove them, and one other known contact. Only one person has died in Uganda, a Congolese.

So when WHO and Al Jazeera talks about the Ebola epidemic in "Congo and Uganda," it's like saying because there are wildfires in California, you should cancel a trip to the Grand Canyon because some Californians lit a campfire there. Yes, it is possible it *could* spread and you have to be vigilant, but these two situations are nowhere near the same magnitude.

As of this writing, the only Ugandan death has been the tourism industry.

@asiimwe4justice Uncle Ben! His voice still echoes in mind every time I sit at St. Francis. In a deep voice, he would say, “The Lord is here.” And we would all respond, “His Spirit is with us.”…

That man of God nurtured my young spiritual life through the entire primary school.

HBD Asiimwe.

@julius50940 @TimKalyegira This information gives a better perspective of things today. The fees ratio then to the teacher’s salary is 1:1. Comparatively, the same teacher today earns about Ugx 500K. The fees is about Ugx 2M bringing the ratio 4:1. Conclusion. A primary teacher today won’t afford Ntare.

I could not stop watching this. In China they make denim from Abaca banana stalks from the Philippines.

Whole Process was mesmerizing! 😳

@EjaluJohn @YN_BUDDU @aqramist My brother, no one is disputing her merit; she deserves her position. The point is that a system shaped over 40 years to favor a certain region inevitably limited others, so potential “Akellos” were alienated long before the competition even began. That’s the logic.

[Ikonyat @Ikonyat]

@EjaluJohn @YN_BUDDU @aqramist John, what @YN_BUDDU is saying is that a system built for a long time favors certain individuals irrespective of whether where they work supports or opposes that system, in fact it would be in system’s best interest to have their own work in an opposing entity. I hope this helps!

@AKasingye Afande Kasingye, you raise very valid points. Firstly, no banks want to finance SMEs owned by Ugandans. Secondly no bank be it UDB can give a loan to a Ugandan without collateral however brilliant an investment idea is. In short no one finances startups in Ug. I’ve been there.

@0bendeozledim What this basically teaches, is that there are people who are like magnets, they attract. One needs to have the wisdom to identify them. Don’t move with the crowd, or else you will be left alone. Very few are genuine and true friends. Respect that one friend who sticks by.

@SahinNulu @CanaryMugume Actually 150K makes a lot of sense if you come to think of it. It will attract numbers. Profit margins are in numbers. One of the airlines I use frequently, Indigo, has succeeded because of low prices. I’ve paid as low as UGX 80,000 to fly a distance equivalent to Entebbe–Mombasa
