What’s the plan for job creation by the new people in charge? They’re shutting down nonprofit organizations, media houses, stifling capital flow for businesses, making the country too insecure for tourists etc. These sectors employ the bulk of the population.
I am asking to know their plan. I am not even dwelling on the fact that what they are doing undermines the law. It’s obvious even a little child knows.
This doctor was asked to give his medical opinion on tubal ligation and he instead gave his personal opinion?? This is why this country lags behind. We have fools and bigots in the most important professions. No science, no research. Might as well asked a random man on the street

In a viral TikTok posted last month, a woman shared that her husband tried to destroy her favorite perfume by smashing the bottle against the sink and broke the sink instead. When commenters said his behavior was unfunny and abusive, she posted a screenshot of money she has made from TikTok, which “haters” contribute to. In another infamous video, a woman said she’s on her fifth day of silence with her fiancé after he bought her a cheap butter dish for Christmas while she got him an Xbox. In a follow-up post, she said she loves Kerrygold and insisted the original video was just for laughs. “You 100 percent deserve what you tolerate,” one commenter replied.
Of course, no one understands the nuances of a relationship better than the people inside it. But these recent examples illustrate a phenomenon we’ve probably all experienced, when a friend or stranger shares tidbits of her partner’s bad behavior but will still defend him when anyone calls him out. It’s whiplash: “My husband hates me,” the shtick begins, followed by some version of “Stop, guys, it was a joke” or “You don’t understand our relationship.”
You might argue that these videos are little more than sitcom schlock or rage-bait meant to maximize engagement. But the fury viewers feel is real. In a moment when women are reexamining the value of hetero relationships, many are tired of telling friends and loved ones to leave the men dragging them down. They don’t want to commiserate; they want you to do better.

I'm one of those Ugandans who will probably be branded a foolish Ugandan because, even when I know fully well that the outcome of the election is largely predictable, I will still go and vote.
We all know for a fact that Mr. 1986 will be announced the winner, irrespective of the actual results. It will be a cold day in hell before anyone else is announced. But I will still go and vote against him, at the very least. I will sleep well at night knowing I did my part—no matter how inconsequential my single vote may be.
I am voting for two important reasons.
First of all, it is my duty as a citizen to exercise my rights, and I will not voluntarily disenfranchise myself because the process is flawed (which it very much is). The entire process is shabby. Reforms have not been put in place. Rigging might happen left, right, and center. The results are probably already known. But I will still do my part and vote. I owe it to no one but myself.
Secondly, I am hopeful that a time will come when the electoral process will be more trustworthy. And when that time comes, we shall need people to vote. But where are young people going to learn about the importance of voting if they have grown up seeing us abscond from our duty because we thought the process was flawed or the results predetermined?
The lesson we will have taught them is this: if you have doubts about the electoral process, don’t vote. I don’t know how valuable such a lesson is.
I don’t vote because I think my candidate will win. I vote because it is my duty. And in the future, when elections are actually trustworthy, we shall have a population that has learned—not just from reading, but from seeing—that voting is important.
You cannot devalue the process of voting today and expect young people to attach value to voting tomorrow. The things we hold in high regard are the things they will hold in high regard.
The circumstances today do not favor a free and fair election. The circumstances tomorrow might. No matter what the circumstances are, it should always be your duty to vote. You don't only exercise love for your country when it is convenient. You do it even when it hurts. Now is such a time.
I can’t say I don’t understand people who are against voting because it legitimizes this draconian and despotic regime. They also rightly say that if you are voting in an election whose results you already know, what is the point?
As I usually say, hate the regime but love the country. In essence, we are voting so that we can carry on the tradition of attaching value to the process for the sake of future generations. Our circumstances today are unfortunate; theirs might not be. If they are going to learn one thing from us, let it be this: voting is your duty as a citizen, whether your candidate is projected to win or not.
On Thursday, go and vote—if not for you, then for those coming after you.

Rajiv's death (may his soul rest in peace) is making news b'se he was a tycoon's son.
That same spot has been claiming people's lives and destroying people's vehicles for days and nothing was done about it.
This was before Rajiv.
Bad governance will affect you anyways
