@TonyNatif@AndrewMwenda claimed that the QM killed Prince Happy and that President @KagutaMuseveni , knowing she was not innocent, covered for her. If true, it raises a troubling question, has the President protected or covered up for other alleged murderers over his nearly 40 rule..??
@hagumaAntivirus@AKasingye@NIRA_Ug Even with 600 billions they still failed to compensate those people. We may need to see the Auditor Generalโs report on this entity.
@NIRA_Ug@AKasingye@newvisionwire@NIRA_Ug still struggles to provide clear answers to basic questions about the functionality of the new IDs and NINs. Instead of addressing citizensโ concerns, they keep playing hide-and-seek. Ugandans deserve a system that actually works. @UDLSOfficial@NIRA_ED
This house in India is quietly making a case Africa should be paying attention to.
Studio Kaha's "House of Symmetry" leans almost entirely on passive design to stay comfortable, private courtyards pulling in light and air, and brick screens doing triple duty: shading, privacy, and thermal comfort, all without a single mechanical system doing the heavy lifting. That's not a luxury add-on. That's the whole strategy.
Now picture that exact logic here, on this continent, in this climate. We live in the tropics. We deal with heat every single day, and yet so much of our newer construction still leans on imported glass facades and AC units to survive a climate our own ancestors already knew how to design around passively. Brick, the very material this house builds its identity around, is something we have in abundance across Africa, clay-rich soil, centuries of masonry tradition, and we're still underusing it in favor of materials that don't even suit our weather.
Add Afrocentric pattern and art into brick screens like these, the same way this project integrated custom artwork into its architecture, and you get something that isn't just climate-smart. It's ours, visually and materially, instead of borrowed.
We don't need to import comfort. We need to look at what already works, and build with what's already ours.

Our Ancestors conducted brain surgeries since over thousands of years ago done mostly by a Herbalist which the Europeans called Witch doctors cause they never understood the science of using herbs.
The patient was given lots of alcohol, then pinned down by people and the herbalist will split their skull and remove the tumor from the brain. Then cover the gape with herbs and bind the skull together with ropes made from palm fronds. Patient heals over some weeks. #Africa
