On coffee:
"Speaking of coffee, that reminds me that a black coffee on an empty stomach gets into your circulation so fast that if you're on the borderline for stress the caffeine accelerates your burning of sugar and so it can bring on stress reaction if you don't accompany it with food or cream and sugar or something like that.
And the coffee itself is one of the most powerful anti stress factors in the world. It has just about every protective function that you could imagine. For example, if you use it on the skin or have enough from internal use of coffee, the caffeine is powerfully, protecting against PUFA breakdown in the skin it clenches and blocks free radical damage. Is both anti inflammatory and antioxidative in the skin. Protects against skin cancer and keeps the liver functioning against all kinds of stressful factors.
So coffee isn't just a stimulant drug but it's an extremely powerful protective factor."

INTERNALIZED INFERIORITY; THE PSYCHOLOGICAL LEGACY OF COLONIALITY:
So, the first photo caption shows a Black boy called SPENCE, of Jamaican ancestry, who is playing for England in the World Cup refusing to shake hands with a Ghanian player, Thomas Partey. Partey was charged with rape, which he denies and says it is racially motivated. The case is before court and he has not been convicted.
The second caption is of a White English man, Declan Rice, hugging the same Ghanian player.
Ideologically, we call this INTERNALIZED INFERIORITY!
It comes from that conditioning of the dominated peoples to despise themselves and their own!!
Extremely sad!
A ruling on a Bail application in a Magistrates Court is now more complicated than a decision in a presidential election petition at the Supreme Court!
We've just been informed of the abduction of @NinyeTabz from Kamwokya a short while ago. He has been whisked away in a drone. The lawlessness continues!

14 March 2007.
Kampala High Court.
Over 700 lawyers, dressed in white shirts and black suits, gathered in silence.
They had been on strike for three days.
Now they were here to perform an ancient ritual of purification.
At the front, a lawyer held aloft a blood‑stained shirt, evidence of what the state had done in this very building two weeks earlier.
The Cleansing of the Court - 2007
The procession, led by Chief Justice Benjamin Odoki and Uganda Law Society President Oscar John Kihika, circled the court building in a symbolic cleansing ceremony.
Kihika described it as an "age‑old African ritual designed to purify the court."
The bloodied shirt and tie belonged to Kiyemba Mutale, a lawyer who had been beaten unconscious during a government raid on the High Court on 1 March.
That day, armed security forces from the "Black Mamba" anti‑terrorism unit had stormed the criminal registry to re‑arrest nine treason suspects who had just been granted bail after 15 months in detention.
During the hours‑long standoff, Mutale was attacked.
The suspects were beaten, bundled into a police vehicle, and taken away.
The raid was a grim echo of November 2005, when the same unit had laid siege to the High Court to prevent the release of the same men during Kizza Besigye's presidential campaign.
The 2007 attack triggered an unprecedented response.
On 5 March, Uganda's judges went on a week‑long strike to protest the assault on judicial independence.
On 12 March, the Uganda Law Society began its own three‑day sit‑down strike, demanding an apology and concrete reforms.
Five ULS members who held high‑level government positions were suspended.
Justice James Ogoola captured the gravity:
"The point had to be made. They will not survive unless the rule of law, independence of the judiciary and all other fundamental principles that hold the nation together are back to form."
President Museveni eventually expressed regret for the incident and promised a "legal and transparent modus operandi" for future arrests.
The judges and lawyers returned to work.
But the ceremony on 14 March was more than a conclusion, it was a declaration.
Mutale's bloodied shirt, held high before the committee tasked with investigating the raid, was not just evidence.
It was a symbol that the judiciary would not be cowed.
The cleansing was not merely ritual.
It was a line drawn in the dust of a courtroom, a reminder that even in the face of armed men, the law could still speak.

In 1976, Nigeria pulled out of the Olympics in Canada in protest against New Zealand, whose rugby team had toured apartheid South Africa despite an international sporting boycott of the racist regime.
When the IOC refused African demands to ban New Zealand from the Games, Nigeria joined 28 other African nations in walking away, even though many of their athletes had already arrived in Canada.

TAKE NOTE
“Goodmorning Dr,
I would like to share something after hearing about the tragic death of a young rugby player who reportedly lost his life at the hands of individuals posing as boda boda riders. While I may not know all the details of what transpired, I can relate to the situation because, by God's grace, I survived a similar ordeal. My experience taught me how quickly such incidents can unfold and how important it is to remain vigilant.
These criminals have come up with new tactics that turn the victim into the suspect. They often cover their faces, and if they attempt to steal from you but you remain alert and frustrate their plan, they quickly change the narrative and start accusing you of being the thief. Some of the women involved are their accomplices and work closely with them, knowing that when a woman raises an alarm, people are often quick to sympathize with her side of the story.
By God's grace,I survived on 6th of June 2025.
These individuals often disguise themselves as boda boda riders, even though they are not legitimate riders. In some cases, they follow people driving cars and, when their plans fail, they suddenly raise an alarm claiming that you have knocked someone down. Their intention is to incite a mob into reacting, creating confusion and panic while they take advantage of the situation to steal valuables from your vehicle.”
