@YaaChinese Depression is real, and kindness matters more than we realize. Check on your people, listen without judgment, and remind anyone struggling that they don’t have to face it alone. 🫂❤️

@ainomugishajim That is so sad Jin, May her Soul rest in rest in peace🙏🕊

So I get paid a salary, say 4m ugx and government takes 30% PAYE, my take home is 2.7m ugx.

I decide to buy myself lunch for it's been a long month and government takes VAT 8,000ugx

I choose to fuel my car to go to work, and government chops 2k off every litter. If government had public transport, would make sense.

If I decide to use my salary to buy starlink internet, government takes another 300k ugx.

So how much is my personal take home then???

Taxes are just big Ponzi Schemes in thirdworld countries. At least in first world, I can save on fuel by using public transport, save on car repairs by using good roads, etc.

@gidth2 😂😂 but why

ANY WOMAN WHO GETS STAINED ON HER PERIOD IS STUPID, ARE YOU A BABY?

The other day, i shared a boda with a lady going to town, i didn’t know her coz I boarded from the Bank of Uganda stage heading to Kireka

when we reached Banda, she was getting off, the boda guy parked well to the side, i got off first, but I noticed my trousers were slightly wet when the lady stepped down, she had badly stained herself

u could see the panic on her face, i quickly removed my sweater & gave it to her so she could wrap it around her waist, i took out my handkerchief & wiped the boda seat

before anyone could notice much, the lady quickly disappeared, i never saw which side she took, after she left, the boda rider said a statement I will never forget

“Any woman who gets stained on her period is stupid, Are you a baby?

meanwhile the other boda riders nearby were nodding their heads like professors in a subject they have never studied

the rider even went ahead & said the lady had cursed his day coz such a thing had never happened on his boda

i told him something he probably had never heard before, women’s bodies are different, hormones are different, some women bleed heavily & have to change pads many times a day, others may not bleed as much, some women faint during their periods, some get severe cramps & even get admitted to hospital, others manage to go through the day like everything is normal, periods are not something a woman can switch on & off like the new Umeme, it is a moment when women actually need more support, not insults

i have also even seen men host ladies in their homes & when the lady starts her period, the man begins complaining

“why did she come when she knew she was almost in her days?” I feel disgusted

but wat many men don’t understand is that the menstrual cycle can change suddenly, it’s not something women fully control, just like our ceremonial government ministers

so instead of shaming women, we should understand them, i felt I should use this Women’s Day to create a little awareness among men about the menstrual cycle

Sometimes wat a woman needs in that moment is not judgment, It is simply understanding

Happy Women’s Day ❤️❤️🫶🏿

Life is so hard in this country, this boy walks from Mukono to Kampala selling these plastic materials. He is only paid 20% on his sales and if he doesn’t sell then he won’t be paid. After long hours of walking this is where he managed to sit and rest💔
