For example, we need a Theory of Bodabodas.
An an emerging class whose ideas have penetrated all facets of Ugandan society.
It could also be the most-conscious class after that of the corrupt.
There some amazing health innovations we should embrace as Ugandans. If your woman is pregnant, you don't need to move in and out of hospitals. I know an amazing medical team that can check on your wife at home and it's good for privacy. Check them here👉 @VenroHealthCare
After watching Clarkson; with all his money, all that equipment, with a market right there in the UK and steady regulation fail to turn a profit for his farm, I truly wonder how Ugandan farmers make a profit (if it’s not merely discounted labor costs, subsidies et al)

Thanks Patrick for stimulating an important conversation on domestic revenue mobilisation. However, before creating a new Ministry of Revenue, shouldn’t we first ask whether Uganda’s revenue challenge is really institutional or whether it stems from political choices such as tax exemptions, weak enforcement, and limited taxpayer trust?
#HappyNationalHeroesDay Today I’d like to celebrate heroes who don’t wear capes or uniforms. But ones who also sacrifice they entire lives to building nations, one student at a time.
My hero this year is my high school French teacher and deputy headmaster Mr. Deogratius “Sebu” Sebulimage from Namilyango College!
In 1990, my parents moved me back from Gabon in Francophone Central Africa under the premise of wanting me to study in Uganda, where they felt the English system would ultimately benefit me more later on in life. They weren’t wrong!
With my “Zende Boy” aka Pops we visited numerous schools to seek admission (including even Smack but none of them “spoke to him”, because they didn’t vibe with his values) until we arrived at Ngo Dips College! My dad and “Sebu” hit it off on the spot! They both spoke French… They were in university around the same time… My dad had gained a comrade in arms and someone to “keep an eye and mentor” his son and Sebu had registered an instant French distinction for his institution!
Over the years “Sebu” grew the reputation of being the “toughest, meanest and most militaristic” member of staff… Just him standing in the compound evoked the “fear of the Living God” into all of us!
However, he instilled in us drive, focus, character, self-expression, resilience, hard work, self-belief and above confidence… Personally he encouraged me to develop leadership skills from Class Captain, Mail Captain, House Prefect, Chairman Scripture Union, Chairman Students Council!
I even won the election to become Head Prefect by a record-breaking landslide and he used it as an opportunity to teach me humility! Him and the administration made me the deputy head prefect in charge of discipline to remind me that life isn’t always fair and is not always about popularity… It took me years to forgive them but such is life! (The guy who lost the election @edtabaro was made head prefect! We became best buddies and room mates afterwards but i still think we need to take this to the Supreme Court! 😂) This Uganda also! #KyokaLifu
To Mr. Sebu, wherever you are. You impacted countless number of us students … Merci Beaucoup Enormement! Your lessons left the classroom and followed have me along my journey of life, into boardrooms, and onto platforms and stages all over the world!
If you had a teacher who changed your story, tag them below. Let’s flood this day with the names that don’t make headlines, but make us! Happy National Heroes Day!

I mean, for every dysfunctional Uganda, there is Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, even Kinshasa willing to accept the capital. We did this once. Between 1972 and 1979, and by 1980, we were so wracked economically, Rwanda was a larger economy. History rhymes
@Ntalebrian22@iamhaffypowers This Elder needs Therapy urgently . Electoral loss is not easy to handle and to others , even Victory would send them down this road .
Since we're in the mood of experimentation, we should start the Uganda Shipping Company. I am willing to be the CEO for the first 3 years and oversee the purchase of our first vessels (MV Tasha, MV Pesh, MV Di).
We are not making the most of our Indian Ocean.
