My 3 year old recently made me realize that we may be living in the same country but expecting completely different things from it.
We passed a small airstrip with a helicopter parked there. He asked what it was.
I said, “An aeroplane.”
He replied, “No, it's a helicopter, It rescues people when they’re in danger, like when there’s a fire.”
I went quiet. I wasn't sure whether to tell him that, in our country, being rescued by a helicopter is mostly something you see in movies. Should I tell him.
@mtnug please let it be my right to decide if I want a call back or not. Just because I don't have airtime on my phone and I try calling someone doesn't give you the right to automatically notify the person that they should call me back.
The most dangerous thing about inflation is that it doesn't need permission to enter your house.
A crisis in the Middle East becomes higher fuel prices and suddenly, your money buys less.
You don't have to see the crisis to pay for it.
Your business doesn't have to be near a crisis to be affected by it. Strait of Hormuz: One narrow waterway disrupting oil supply, raise transport costs, increase inflation and squeeze margins thousands of kilometres away.
If you owned a business, would you employ someone like you?
Forget your qualifications for a moment. Look at your attitude, work ethic, reliability, initiative and the value you bring. Be brutally honest. Would you hire you?
Did you know that @URAuganda can take advantage of your ignorance as a business person?
Imagine making UGX 200 million in sales in one day when you're not VAT registered, as a compliant tax payer, you issue receipts of your transactions through URA system only to be told later that you owe @URAuganda VAT when you apply for VAT months later.
In the 21st century, why can’t the tax system simply detect the threshold being crossed, notify the taxpayer, and automatically trigger the registration process?
Tax compliance should be smart, real-time and automated, not a trap for those who don’t know the rules.
If @URAuganda can see the transaction, surely the system can say: “Congratulations, you’ve crossed the VAT threshold. Register now.”

Crazy thought:
Ceuta is geographically in Africa. What if Spain handed it over to Morocco? Would it reduce the migration crisis or would people simply find another route?
Maybe the problem isn't the border. Maybe it's the gap in opportunity between the two sides.
The world's most watched border today is between two "African" cities.Ceuta sits on African soil, yet it's Spain. Sometimes, a few metres separate two completely different worlds and that's exactly why the migration debate is so complex.
The mountains remind us of something we often forget: nature is indifferent to experience, status, or reputation. My thoughts are with the families, friends, and climbing community grieving those lost in Pakistan. May they rest in peace.
Did you know?
The most valuable thing crossing the finish line at the @RwenzoriMarathn isn't the runners, it's money. For one weekend, thousands of visitors arrive in Kasese, Uganda ready to spend on accommodation, food, transport, experiences, and souvenirs. Most people see a marathon. The sharp Entrepreneurs see an economy. The question isn't whether the opportunity exists. It's how much of that spending will end up in your business. @wekesa_amos has done his part, let's also do our part.

Did you know that Ceuta is in Africa? It's geographically on the African continent, borders Morocco, but is sovereign Spanish territory and therefore part of the European Union.Sometimes the shortest journey to Europe is one step across an African border.
