طريقة تقليدية لدى قبيلة البنا في إثيوبيا
حيث يستخدمها الرعاة الشباب، لمراقبة الماشية فوق الأعشاب الطويلة، والتنقل في الأراضي الرطبة، وتجنب الثعابين والحيوانات المفترسة مثل الأسود والفهود
ويتطلب الأمر قوة بدنية وتوازناً وتدريب منذ الصغر

🚨 David Raya shares what Mikel Merino told him before his winning goal. 😂

“I was sitting on the bench with Mikel, and he turned to me and said, ‘You know, I feel like going on there and doing one of those late-goal moments we always have at Arsenal.’

After the match I asked him, ‘Did you actually mean it when you said that?’ He just laughed and replied, ‘Come on, David… we do this every day at Arsenal. I could feel the club’s mentality running through me.’

I just smiled because that’s the confidence we have. We always believe until the final whistle.” ❤️🤍

Saad Jr and the family are already at Eric Omondi stadium. Saad was a brand, but above all, a good person. This put together, there’s no way his child should suffer or fail to go to school

Towards the campaign to support the young boy’s education, we are selling those T- shirts each at 50k.

The only number that receives support towards the cause for now is 0761349330 - Kwikiriza Gideon

KAMPALA: Where Gravity is Optional and Sewage is Freelance
==========
Dear @KCCAED,
I know you’re Muslim, but there are three ways of drinking Uganda Waragi: with water, without water, and like water.

Unfortunately, it seems our urban engineers in Kyebando chose the third option before designing the drainage system.

What else explains the confident burial of a massive concrete pipe in a trench with zero gradient, as if stormwater will flow through sheer optimism? The pipe lies there like a retired civil servant, wide, experienced, but completely inert.

Here, let’s talk use case. You see, this pipe isn’t just for stormwater — it also moonlights as a neighborhood sewage transporter. When it rains, latrines and septic tanks perched proudly above send their greetings downstream. That’s what we call functional urban innovation. You know it’s real? But instead of acknowledging this unholy alliance of rain and refuse, we’re installing a closed pipe system that pretends the people are flushing poetry and rose petals.

Then the other failure: the disappearing act of maintenance. The old open drain, for all its unattractiveness, allowed for quick interventions. If it blocked, someone saw it, and someone fixed it (usually barefoot). Now? We’ve sealed the mess in a basement with no windows, no access, and no maintenance plan. Out of sight, out of mind, until it overflows into someone’s house during Sunday lunch.

Next? Social context blindness. Behavior isn’t an Excel formula. If your design doesn’t match how people live (if you ignore grey water, waste habits, and solid disposal patterns), you’re building fantasy, not infrastructure.

Lastly, we’ve declared war on physics. Water doesn’t care about political will or PR photos. If it can’t flow through your pipe, it’ll flow on your road. And when sewage and stormwater start using tarmac as a runway, potholes will bloom, kids will get sick, and the very road you upgraded becomes a microbial slipway.

So. Before we close another drainage system in Kampala, can we:

1. Model the flow — with actual data, not just gut feelings?

2. Study what’s entering the drain — because it’s not just rain, it’s real life?

3. Design with access in mind — so when it clogs (not if), someone can clear it?

4. Accept behavioral realities — and build for how people actually use infrastructure?

5. Respect the laws of gravity — because the Lord gave them for free?

Or we can keep drinking Waragi like water… and building drains that do the same. The engineers on this project need to be found and given a medal of dishonor, @KCCAUG @UIPE_Uganda @UACE_Uganda

We were invited. Unfortunately I was not available. Hon Kassiano Wadri who went to represent us as ANT on the scheduled day of Thursday was unfortunately blocked from accessing the venue. He travelled to Arua same day & sadly, was not able to attend the Friday event. Bravo NUP
