Uganda President Museveni talks a lot about how Science is king and the magic that will save Uganda, and Arts and Social Sciences are “useless” and shouldn’t get state funding. Then the kids study Medical Sciences and when they ask for small change to begin putting the science into practice, they are told no money, and those who protest are hammered or jailed. Meanwhile a “useless” arts and social sciences institution like Parliament (we won’t mention State House) get many times more money - in the billions - just to buy second-rate tea, mandanzi, and cakes for MPs. What are we not getting? Did Parliament and State House become vaunted academies of sciences and we missed the memo?
🚨 FIFA statement on Thomas Partey left out of Canada.
“FIFA can confirm that player Thomas Partey will be unable to travel from Ghana's Team Base Camp in Boston, USA, to Canada for their first match against Panama on Wednesday, 17 June, as his visa application has been refused by the Canadian government.
"FIFA is not involved in the immigration processes of host countries, including the adjudication of visas. As with previous FIFA events, the host government ultimately determines who receives a visa and is admitted into the country."

Life has a way of teaching us unexpected skills.
For Andrew Kyamagero, one of those skills is managing chaos.
The people who stay calm when things get messy are not always the most talented. They are often the ones who have learned how to think clearly under pressure.
What skill has life forced you to develop?
Full interview on YouTube.
There is no 28billion to pay intern doctors in the budget Museveni is presenting today, no 8billion for UNEB to train teachers on how to mark new syllabus, no 3.5billion to complete new syllabus but there is 211billion for welfare and entertainment for big people, 536 billion for special meals and drinks for big people, 196 billion for big people to donate, 17 billion for firewood, gas and charcoal and 2.6 trillion for classified expenditure!
The strongest people are not always the toughest.
Sometimes they are the kindest.
It takes strength to remain good in a world that often rewards the opposite.
Shaquille O’Neal says his kids need three degrees to touch Daddy’s cheese
“In order to touch Daddy's cheese you gotta have three degrees because I believe in respectable nepotism”
“I was with the Miami Heat one day and this article came out. The grandmother leaves the son $250,000,000”
“This kid's on his knees scrubbing the bathroom floor and I'm looking at him. I'm like, hey man, didn't your grandmother just leave you $250,000,000?”
“Yeah, but Dad wants me to start from the bottom. Once I saw that I was like, you know what, that right there is respectable nepotism”
“I also have to teach my kids we're not rich, I'm rich”
At Sydney’s send-off, caught up with legend Captain Namilyango 1968 🏉
He shared this timeless truth:
“Rugby is a hooligan’s game played by gentlemen. If you are not a gentleman, you can’t play rugby.”Character is a foundation.

I have a question. Every other tribe in Uganda seems to have a home destrict. Which one is theirs? If its a dumb question you can tell me so too. Or are they just a diaspora community who happened to have settled in various Ugandan districts who have been naturalised? Just curious. 😅
I disagree with you. Our dear MPs need those cars urgently. Imagine meeting an MP on a boda. Who are doctors in this society anyway? We can do away with them. We can ask pastors to be deployed in hospitals instead. After all, they won’t need to be paid, it’ll be the patients paying tithe. Isn’t that better logic, bro?
