Building cool things

[Jim Spire Ssentongo @SpireJim]

Once upon a time … we didn’t need to keep children away because Mr Museveni’s minister was going to speak.

[Ibrahim Ssemujju Nganda @SsemujjuIN]

As a journalist, I have had to listen to boring Museveni speeches for 13 years, and as an MP for 15 years and because I am invited on TVs and radios, this burden is not about to go away. Immagine this afternoon he is wondering why Ugandans go for kyeyo in Dubai which Amin gave food during his reign. According to the 2024 population census, 20 million of the 46 million Ugandans are food insecure, 5.6 million homes still sleeping in one room house, 28 million people using firewood as main source of energy and 14 million people about 31% of the population don’t have two sets of clothes. The economy he has built for 41 years cannot employ 1.7 million people with degrees, diplomas and certificates!

We are not seeing many people coming into Uganda because they have failed elsewhere, except perhaps refugees. Instead, we are seeing many Ugandans leaving the country in search of what they call opportunities. This should be a matter of concern for us. -@SpireJim, Political Analyst

Never try to bring someone down; that person might be the one to help you tomorrow. Life is full of surprises.

Why has Nigeria never produced a world leader on the level of Kwame Nkrumah or Kofi Annan? 🥴

I worked with @SueNsibirwa btn 2011-2019 as her supervisor when she headed our marketing function. Not once was she ever apprehended as a suspect in or charged with a criminal offense. In fact, she left two years before me with her record of high integrity & stellar performance. I am certain that her current employer would have done a due diligence before entrusting her with her present role. If what is being said about her now were true it would have come out long ago from more credible sources.

Interesting!

The school size 82 ministers Museveni cabinet has been approved. However, Janet Kataha Museveni’s approval has been deffered. Speaker told appointments committe, her office says she will appear in person at an appropriate time. She had wanted to be vetted on zoom. I have read here some comments to the effect that I’m obsessed with Museveni. How can I not be? In just this cabinet, he has appointed blood relatives. His wife, Janet Museveni, his niece Desire Muhooza who is Saleh’s daughter, his son’s sister in-law Shartsi Kutesa Musherure who is also a niece to Kataha, Henry Tumukunde who marries Janet Kataha’s cousin[Tumukunde’s son also marries Museveni’s other daughter) Jim Muhwezi who marries Janet Museveni’s cousin, Bright Rwamirama, who is also a relative. His son Muhoozi Kainerugaba is the CDF who is now appointing Parliamentary Speaker and deputy, his brother Salim Saleh is like a Co-President. As Ugandans, we must collectively be obsessed with this state of affairs. Maybe then we can gather courage and do something about it

My daddy lost his phone so he asked me to call it so he could find it. He finds it. I get a call like 1 minute later.

Daddy: "Hey babygirl, you called me?"

Just got the terrible news that we’ve lost our brother @MasterParrot .
Old funny conversations, careless hearty laughters are the painful memories you live with us my friend.
Until we meet again.🫡

You’ll see random pictures of Arshavin supporting Arsenal every year since he left. Dude never gave any interviews, just kept supporting the club like a proper fan. Top guy.

There are moments when life tests a person's strength beyond what most of us can imagine.

My friend, @rwamu_ had just completed his law degree when he suffered a stroke. Many feared the worst. Some thought his dreams had come to an end. But through pain, uncertainty, and years of recovery, he has remained remarkably strong, determined, and hopeful.

Today, there is a smile on his face again. There is progress. There is hope.
When the call came , all of us that knew this fine legal brain, kindred spirit set in.
I want to sincerely thank the friends let by @SilverKayondo , classmates, and well-wishers who have stood by him. Because of your generosity, land for a wheelchair-accessible home wss purchased in Manyangwa, Gayaza, and the title successfully transferred.

Now comes the next step: building the home.

For Mwene, this is more than a house. It is dignity. It is accessibility. It is independence. It is a place from which he can continue his recovery journey in safety and comfort.

I am therefore appealing to all friends, colleagues, members of the legal fraternity, and every person of goodwill to contribute whatever they can. No contribution is too small. Together, we can help a young man who has fought so courageously rebuild his life. @Atukundaisaac1

Mwene's story is a reminder that while a stroke may change a life, it does not have to destroy a dream.
