The world map you've known all your life is wrong! Nearly every country at the UN voted to adopt a new map that shows a more accurate size of Africa after ~500 years of "symbolic minimization."
Only the US voted against it.
I explained why this is important on CNN
Fellow Ugandans, especially the Bazzukulu,
It is with a lot of sadness that, on the behalf of all Ugandans, Maama Janet and myself, I extend our most heart-felt condolences to the Royal Family of Tooro and to all Ugandans on account of the death of the prominent Muzzukulu, His Highness Oyo, the King of Tooro at such a young age of 34. How unfair life can be!! He was orphaned while still young and he has died young.
In the short life on earth, he had shown that he had potential of working well with the Central and Local Governments to develop Tooro. What a loss to Tooro and Uganda.
Some months back, Her Royal Highness Kemigisa, Nyinomukama, came to tell me that the Muzzukulu Oyo had cancer that was very aggressive. The Government supported them to go to Germany and, then, the USA where he died.
Congratulations to CPA Sylvia Adong on your appointment as Accountant, Investments at the Parliamentary Pension Scheme.
Wishing you success as you embark on this new chapter.

Fellow Ugandans, especially the Bazzukulu. Habaari. Greetings to all of you.
Of recent, I have noticed a lot of orwaari (noise, kelele), regarding the Sovereignty Bill. Which Sovereignty Bill is the rwaari about? The one I initiated in the Cabinet or another one? The Bill will stop FDIs (Foreign Direct Investments), support for religious bodies from abroad, Remittances from Ugandans working abroad, etc., etc. Really!! That is not the Bill I initiated.
Below is clarification on what I initiated.

A practical guide to writing without plagiarism (and without relying on Turnitin). A must-read for students and researchers.
Plagiarism often occurs for two reasons: students rush or do not yet know how to express their research ideas in their own words. The good news is that you can avoid high similarity with other people's work by improving your reading, note-taking, and writing skills. You do not need a similarity checker if you build good habits from the start.
1) Understand what counts as plagiarism
Plagiarism is not only copying and pasting. It also includes:
- Copying sentence structure and only changing a few words.
- Using another author’s idea without citing the source.
- Reusing your own work (past) without permission or citation (self-plagiarism).
- Paraphrasing too closely to the original text.
If the wording, order of ideas, or unique expression is too close to the source, it can still be plagiarism.
2) Read first, then write from memory
- A strong method is “read, close, write.”
- Read a section you want to use.
- Close the document or look away.
- Write the idea in your own words as if explaining to a classmate.
- Then reopen the source and check that you did not copy the same phrasing.
This reduces the chance of repeating the author’s exact wording.
3) Take “idea notes,” not “sentence notes”
Many students copy sentences into their notes and later forget they copied. Instead, take notes like this:
- Write the main point in a short phrase.
- Add your own explanation in one or two lines.
- Add a citation beside it immediately (author, year, page if needed).
If you must copy an exact sentence (for a definition or a key quote), put quotation marks in your notes and label it clearly as a direct quote. This prevents accidental copying later.
4) Use your own structure.
Similarity often comes from copying how another paper is organised. Before writing, create your own outline:
- What is the problem?
- Why does it matter?
- What is known?
- What is missing?
- What will your work add?
When you follow your own structure, your writing naturally becomes original.
5) Paraphrase properly (not by swapping words).
Good paraphrasing means changing:
- The words,
- The sentence structure,
- And sometimes the order of points,
while keeping the meaning accurate.
After paraphrasing, compare your text with the source. If many words are identical or the sentence “sounds the same,” rewrite again.
6) Cite as you write, not at the end.
Add citations while writing each paragraph. Do not leave citations for later. This habit prevents unintentional idea plagiarism and strengthens academic credibility.
7) Build your own academic voice.
Your voice grows when you do more than repeat sources. After summarising a study, add one or two sentences:
- What it means for your topic,
- How it compares with other studies,
- Or what limitation it has.
This analysis makes your work more personal and less similar to the sources.
8) Give yourself time.
Plagiarism increases when you rush to write the night before submitting your article, report, project chapter, etc. So, Plan time for:
- Reading and note-taking,
- Writing the first draft,
- Editing and rewriting.
Careful rewriting is one of the best ways to reduce similarity.
If you practise these steps consistently, your work will be clear, credible, and naturally low in similarity even without using plagiarism software. I have used this approach for a couple of years, and I tell you, it worked.
I look forward to receiving your feedback.
Note: Plagiarism software (similarity checkers) are tools that compare a document against large databases of published works, web pages, and past student submissions to identify matching or closely similar text. The software/checker generates a similarity report showing overlaps and sources. This report helps reviewers detect potential plagiarism or poor paraphrasing.
Turnitin is a commercial similarity-checking platform used by universities and publishers to screen student assignments and academic manuscripts for textual overlap and citation issues.
Topic: Youth and Saving
I’ve always been an open person. Sometimes I share to teach, sometimes to be judged, sometimes to remind myself.
Last year, when I calculated my personal earnings (profits from my business), the total for the whole year was 37 million.
That’s not even close to what a Member of Parliament earns in a single month.
By December, when I checked my account, I had 800k left.
The rest went into reinvesting in the company brand, alcohol, friends, rent, and many things that didn’t really add value to my life.
This year, I changed strategy.
I decided to treat my business salary with discipline. I quit alcohol, bars, and distanced myself from some friends.
I got married.Most importantly, I committed to saving 2.5 million every week.
That’s a safari van (drone) every 8 months not just an asset, but a mindset shift.
Today, I walked to the bond to deposit my first savings toward the safari van (drone).
I almost diverted the plan to buy a posh car ,temptation is real but I stayed committed.
This year, I’m choosing to be better than who I was last year.Not perfect. Just intentional.
If you’re young and earning, learn early:
Money respects discipline, not excuses.
