Hello @mkainerugaba, my friends have been saying you aren't generous like you claim. Kindly send me UGX 5 million and prove them wrong. Let's shame them.
A kettle calling a pot black, when Brenda was in Mulago hospital battling the deadly disease you infected her with, you never visited, assisted with medical bills and publicly denied her yet you lived in the same house before she was bedridden and she gave you a beautiful daughter. Faridah, the hair dresser was very sick, you stopped taking her calls the moment you learnt she was bedridden and never attended her burial. You should be the last person to call out anyone because you have done the worst.
@22BET_Uganda I haven't received my win in my MOMO like you promised. I sent you my real MOMO in your DM. I couldn't post my number fwaaaa on the internet. So mwetelezze. Check your DM for it. I hope to be settled by end of today. @22BET_Uganda@22BET_Uganda@22BET_Uganda ..

The Eighth Wonder of the World is officially the Kampala budget.
Happy day to everyone surviving in a city where the math simply refuses to math. If a World Bank economist studied a Ugandan earning 250,000 UGX, they would resign in frustration. On paper, that person should not exist past the 5th of the month.
If you earn 1,000,000 UGX, you are the government’s favorite child. PAYE is taken at source. You pay “Movement Tax” on fuel, “Sleeping Tax” because your landlord increased rent to cover Rental Income Tax, and “Survival Tax” on milk and airtime. By mid-month, you are basically volunteering for the state.
But the 250,000 UGX hero is where science ends and miracles begin. They rent a single room in Bwaise or Namuwongo for 120k, spend 4k daily on transport, eat, dress well for church, and somehow still send 2,000 UGX to a struggling relative in the village. How do you buy 1kg of sugar at 5,000 UGX when your daily income is 8,000 UGX? How do you buy data to read this? How do you contribute 5k for a wedding meeting?
Then there are the female magicians who carry a 7M iPhone, live in a 2M apartment, and rock 200k acrylics with million-shilling wigs on a 500k salary. The math never adds up because a whole roster of men is convinced he is the only one funding the lifestyle.
In Kampala, we do not live on “net pay.” We live on the grace of God and the “kikomando ratio.” We fear our phones. Tell someone you are sending money and they beg, “Please, don’t put it on the phone!” Telecom companies wait like hungry lions for “XtraTime” debts. You send 20k, and by the time it lands you have 1,200 UGX and a “thank you for clearing your loan” message.
We have also mastered the Olympic sport of “Tenant vs. Landlord.” Tenants tiptoe home at 11:45 p.m. to avoid the landlord’s window, while landlords switch off all lights and hide in the dark, ready to pounce when the padlock clicks.
The real mystery is the person earning 200,000 UGX who lives like a CEO. They pay rent, school fees for three nieces, fuel a car with 20k every morning, hit the gym, hang out in bars every Friday, eat at fancy spots, wear designer labels, and still have change for bleached skin that screams “I have never tasted poverty.”
We organize lavish weddings and endless parties on other people’s sweat. You get added to a WhatsApp group for a party where the host will not fund even 10% of the budget, yet expects you, surviving on air, to finance a convoy of Benzes.
At work, some employees only eat at the office. They arrive early with growling stomachs and develop a “spare stomach” to store lunch for now and supper for later. To cut costs, we build in wetlands because rent is “friendly” in the dry season. When the rains come and sofas float toward Lake Victoria, we are first on TV crying, “Government, help us!”
Kampala is full of actors. We smile outside while dying inside. We mask misery with a sharp weave, a pressed shirt, and taxi jokes. Our chests are heavy with school fees and brokenness. We laugh loudest at work while holding our breath until next month.
We are taxed at the bank, supermarket, landlord’s door, and petrol station. Yet we still show up.
Today, let’s celebrate the real financial engineers — Ugandans who master the art of living on an “invisible balance” and keep smiling when the soul is weeping.

Let us speak with epidemiological discipline. Let the record be clean.
👉If there are Ebola deaths in Uganda, state them with source, district, date, and confirmation.
👉If the deaths are in DRC, do not baptise Uganda into another nation’s mortality statistics.
👉If the number is regional, say regional.
👉If the risk is cross-border, say cross-border.
Public health communication must inform without inflaming, warn without wounding, and protect without creating unnecessary panic.
Facts are not decoration. In an outbreak, facts are medicine.
