Uganda’s attention economy is creating millionaires but bankrupting public decency. We have reached an era where a million views can buy political patronage but cannot buy basic human manners. Look no further than the guest list at "Jazz With Jjaja" 2nd edition to see why common sense is dying.
I am saddened. The outrage over a media personality objectifying the grieving widow of the late Sydney Gongodyo on TikTok is entirely justified. But let's stop acting surprised. This is the inevitable result of a political system that rewards shock value over substance, producing digital mercenaries with millions of followers but zero empathy.
The real tragedy is the state validation that follows. When reckless clout-chasers are granted exclusive access to power and handed 5 Billion UGX in tax-free SACCO funds, the incentive structure is clear: be loud, be irresponsible, and you will be rewarded.
In a political system that exchanges credibility for digital noise, traditional leadership rules no longer apply. Given today's landscape of erratic public appointments, it would surprise no one if a digital clown (like the one you know already) is named to a high-stakes government position next. When a society replaces merit with metrics and conscience with clout, common sense gets priced out of the market.
3. Warmth of the friendly people. Very welcoming people of Acholi will shower you with memorable hospitality you don't want to leave. Blended with beautiful sunsets, open landscapes and traditional village life. Visiting Acholi is a must.
#ExploreAcholi#ExploreUganda@MTWAUganda@TourismBoardUg Visiting Acholi offers experiences you can't easily find elsewhere.
1. Culinary practices of the Acholi People. Food is eaten in a circular formation of family members who often sit on mats made from hides
Never miss the Amarula tree, the beers for the intelligent elephant - the totem of the Acholi people. The sacred drum of the Patiko people taken out on public holidays only.
Talk safety by learning about the coded ancient language of the Patiko people.

For the people of the North and the wider Luo community, this event is more than a formal retirement; it is the "Return of the Leader." The Homecoming Ceremony serves as a bridge between high-ranking state service and ancestral heritage
I listened carefully to @Internews and @earthjournalism guidance 3yrs ago, I put it to practice and carried it home as exhibit of a good learner. Thx @ACME_Africa, @Peterlabeja also grateful to @wilsonkagoro for openness to information sharing on wildlife and conservation,

All stakeholders are present and we are looking forward to a fruitful engagement on how to adapt to #climatechange effectively.
The locals are here to witness how climate smart solutions are transforming our communities.
Featured journalists are showcasing powerful stories from the field. Stories of resilience, innovation and impact in the face of #climatechange.
We realized that it’s not enough to work with farmers only, that’s why we partnered with agribusinesses to ensure they reach more people through the media.
The goal is to that ensure #climatechange spoken about in a way that is understandable to us all. - Matthew Rupanga
