Leadership is about solving problems. True leadership lives in a solution-oriented mindset, seeing challenges not as barriers but as opportunities to act, adapt and deliver impact.
ONE UNIT. Four chances at LIFE
Up to four lives can be saved through the separation of blood into different components.
Behind this bag is a mom, a child, an accident victim, a surgery patient.
All waiting on you.🥹
🗓️1st July
⌚️ 8am - 5pm

What moves me most about @Rotary is not what we do, but why we do it.
Behind every project is a life changed, a friendship formed, a community uplifted. Service has a unique way of bringing out the best in us. I am grateful to be part of a family that turns compassion into action and hope into lasting impact.
If you've ever wondered how you can make a difference while growing lifelong friendships, perhaps Rotary is the place for you.

A year ago, I asked: "𝐁𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐑𝐢𝐝𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐃𝐢𝐞."
You showed up. Every sunrise. Every sacrifice.
Today, we hand over a stronger district. Ready for 9217 & 9218.
The final WAVE is not goodbye. It's our blueprint.
To my Presidents, my Rotarians, my family this is YOUR story.
Read it. https://t.co/wH44qcv5yq

As a Senior Consultant, the reason I haven't raised my voice is simple:
When the interns are gone, I will gladly show up at 5AM, clerk 80 patients, draw the blood, and run the night calls myself.
I am superhuman. Obviously.
As a Senior Nursing Officer, the reason I am silent is obvious:
I have no problem running three wards alone, fixing lines, tracking vitals, delivering babies, doing the paperwork.
I don't need hands. I have dedication.
As a Policymaker, the reason I haven't spoken is elegant:
The interns are a budget problem I solved by terming the students.
My children are not doing internship in Uganda, after all.
As a Patient, the reason I haven't complained is clear:
Even if the doctor cutting me open has worked 36 hours without food, just cut me open and take the baby out.
Hunger sharpens the hands. Everyone knows this.
As a Citizen, the reason I am unbothered is rational:
None of my children is a medic.
I have my pastor.
The system runs on miracles. Always has.
This policy is brilliant.
Let's all stay quiet and watch the magic happen.
It's hard for me to explain to those outside #Uganda just how irritated the Ugandans are to be lumped in with DRC for the #Ebola epidemic. As of this writing, there have been hundreds of deaths and over 1000 cases in Congo, whereas Uganda has had only 9 cases -- three Congolese, four medical workers who treated them, one driver who drove them, and one other known contact. Only one person has died in Uganda, a Congolese.
So when WHO and Al Jazeera talks about the Ebola epidemic in "Congo and Uganda," it's like saying because there are wildfires in California, you should cancel a trip to the Grand Canyon because some Californians lit a campfire there. Yes, it is possible it *could* spread and you have to be vigilant, but these two situations are nowhere near the same magnitude.
As of this writing, the only Ugandan death has been the tourism industry.
Yesterday, Chinese Ambassador to Nigeria posted on Twitter that Nigerians can now export cow bones duty-free to China.
Under the comment sections, some Nigerians were asking the ambassador to tell them what they are using the cow bones for😁
Some were telling the ambassador to tell his people to come and setup the processing facility here in Nigeria, so they can create jobs.
Funny people. I laughed at our inability to do simple Google search.
As a livestock farmer and Agro commodities trader, I already know the uses of cow bones.
And about building a factory here in Nigeria? Nigerians are the ones to do it, but sadly everyone is building hotels😁
Let me tell you a few uses of cow bones.
Here are 4 major uses of cow bones you can mention in your content;
✍🏻Bone meal fertilizer: Cow bones are processed into bone meal, rich in phosphorus and calcium, used to improve soil fertility.
They prefer this to fertilize their soil not the chemical sold to our rural farmers.
✍🏻Animal feed supplement: Processed bone meal can be used as a mineral supplement in livestock feed, especially for calcium and phosphorus.
We use this for chicken feed, pig, and fish feed production.
Verify the price per kg and you’ll be shocked.
✍🏻Gelatin production: Cow bones can be processed to extract gelatin, used in food, pharmaceuticals, capsules, and cosmetics.
Just imagine the volume of cow bones wasting in your village?
Pharmaceuticals companies are paying billions of dollars to buy it from those processing it.
And I believe those Chinese companies will focus more on this.
It is big money wasting away in Africa because we don’t know anything about value addition.
✍🏻Activated carbon / bone char: Burnt bones can produce bone char, used in filtration, sugar refining, and water purification.
Pause here and think deeply with me. They use bone char for water purification in their country.
But they produce capsules and sell to us for water purification😳
Let’s not blame them. We take responsibility.
Now, let’s be honest. This is a golden opportunity for us. Let’s export the cow bones and cash out.
Also, let’s learn how to process the cow bones locally and export the finish product too.
If I tell you now that chicken feed producers in Nigeria import bone meal, you won’t believe. Research it yourself.
A ton of bone meal is around $200 - $750 currently.
Bro, just imagine earning over $200 from wastage thrown around our local markets in Africa.
Business opportunity for you. Do your research and see how you can position to serve this market
I don’t know if this is still necessary but with new information I have to clear the record. The money Among and her cronies stole in the 8 months between July 2025 and Feb 2026 is over UGX 50,000,000,000 ( about $13.5M). These astronomical amounts spent on “parliamentary commission operations” were picked directly from @BOU_Official unlike those for “outreach programs” for the speaker and commissioners which were channeled through the Parliamentary Sacco. #UgandaParliamentExhibitionII
