You raise some important points. The Elephant in the room is: why should Ugandan artists travel economy, avoid 5 star hotels, or not receive luxury treatment when traveling abroad to perform?

Before asking a promoter to pay an artist USD 10,000, provide business-class tickets, and book 5-star accommodation in London, we should first look at the business side of the conversation.

The pertinent questions are:
1-What is the actual cost of organizing an event in London?
2-How many people can the booked artist realistically attract both Ugandans and non-Ugandans?
3-What is the capacity of the venue?
4- How much is the target audience willing to pay to watch that artist
5-What does the artist’s technical rider require, if any?
6-Would you personally invest that amount of money in that artist? Is the return worth the risk?

Most shows organized by Ugandan promoters in the diaspora attract between 500 and 1,000 audience. Few artists can attract a global non ugandan audience too. Those numbers are still relatively low, which means the return on investment (ROI) is also limited.

Here are some of the costs UK promoters often have to deal with:
-Economy class tickets: approximately USD 750–1,600
-Business class tickets: approximately USD 2,500–5,000
-Artist performance fees: around USD 3,000- 8000 per artist
-Creative visas for each artist
-Venue hire
-Production costs
-Hotel and accommodation
-Local transport and meals
-Event permits and licensing in Europe

Now, if an artist can only attract an audience of 500–1,000 people, and the promoter is hosting four artists on the same event, is it financially viable to provide all of them with the VVIP treatment being suggested? We should address the need for more ugandan artists to do music that apeals to also non ugandan audiences in the diaspora so that attendees increase. #NBSAfter5 @BlackMambaso

As a man with a platform, I’m choosing to use my voice to call out harmful jokes and myths that contribute to Gender based Violence. Whenever we’re online, let’s uplift respect, shut down abuse, and stand together to end digital violence against women.

Tag a media personality that champions positive masculinity.

Not long ago, someone told me I wasn’t using my X account to its full potential and that stuck with me.Every day, my phone is flooded with messages from young people some desperately searching for jobs, others just trying to raise 20k to survive the day. It’s heartbreaking. And the truth is, I can’t help everyone on my own.

So starting today, I’m dedicating My social platforms starting with X to “job advocacy”, amplifying voices for Uganda’s unemployed youth. Those fresh out of university with no jobs, those grinding in low-income work, and those asking “What’s next?” with nothing in their pockets. So If you’re living this struggle or believe in uplifting Uganda’s youth through job linkages, welcome to @UnemployedSoc

We’re calling on: Private and public sectors with job openings. Training institutions offering skills programs. Companies with internship placements. Banks and startup funders with startup capital. Mentors, gig creators, and scholarship providers. If you know someone in these spaces, invite them to join our cause. This will be a platform for those without connections & those without social capital.

Now, I need your input:
What should we focus on?
What stories must we tell?
What kind of support is most urgent?
Drop your suggestions. Let’s build this platform together because no one is coming to save us.

Let’s help young people find real opportunities. Let’s build a future where no young person is stuck failing to find dignified employment or start enterpreneurship. This is my mission. The movement has begun.
