Dear young men,
Born between 1995 and 2002,
In this year 2026, you will fall within the age bracket of 25 to 30. This is one of the most pivotal phases in a man's life. The choices you make and the habits you build during these years will largely shape whether you enjoy a secure and fulfilling old age.
This is not the season to chase women endlessly. If you already have someone special, give that relationship your very best effort. If you are married, cherish and love your wife deeply.
The ages of 25 to 30 are not a strict deadline for financial success, but they are the perfect time to set strong foundations in motion. Some men will achieve remarkable breakthroughs in these years, while others will take longer. A few may gain wealth through shortcuts in their twenties only to lose everything before fifty, while others build steadily in their twenties and thirties and enjoy lasting prosperity.
Do not pressure yourself too much but also, don't sit back and relax because there's really no time.
Get serious about your life. Take your financial future seriously and cultivate strict financial discipline. Save aggressively. Invest wisely and consistently. Your future self will rise up and call you blessed for the sacrifices you make today.
Avoid creating unnecessary trouble for yourself. Seek peace with both men and women. Life can be slippery.
Honor your parents and show respect to your elders.
As you journey through life, you will encounter people with views very different from your own. Resist the urge to judge or insult quickly. Pause and remember: you do not fully know their story. Instead, stay open-hearted. Be willing to learn, unlearn, and relearn.
These words come from genuine care and concern for you, young men. May God bless us all, keep us in His love, and prosper the work of our hands.
Above all, love God.
I’ve been tagged in a disturbing video of a student being caned by a teacher in Kenya.
Let this sink in: an adult, entrusted with children, inflicting pain in the name of discipline.
This is not correction.
This is abuse.
Caning students, especially on the soles of their feet, is illegal and has been illegal for years.
The TSC must act immediately. Those responsible must be identified and face the law.
Our children are not punching bags.
They are not experiments.
They deserve protection.
I have a feeling, and as I predicted in 2019, Yoweri Museveni’s presidency is slowly coming to an end, and it won’t be pretty.
Historically, dictators who wish to succeed in perpetuity, either through appointed heirs or their families, must do some strategic retreats, groom potential successors early, and let the cards play out.
But when Museveni goes, it looks like Uganda will be done with the family, once and for all.
He appointed his son to head the military, making him, potentially, his successor, but in 2026, the son is only drunk on alcohol and whatever drug he uses, but also clinically insane.
Who threatens opponents with death on social media in 2026? He has used his social media platform to spread a lot of nonsense, and nobody in their right mind respects him.
At 81, the father is old.
At 51, Muhoozi is not wise enough to lead a country. At the right time, sense will prevail, and some wise men will come together and decide: enough of this BS.
And out, the Museveni nightmare will go.
Like Mugabe did.
Like Gaddafi did.
Like Mobutu did.
Like Idi Amin did.
Like Bokassa did.
Like Paul Biya of Cameroon will soon enough, and certainly as Obiang’ Nguema would (though for Nguema, the playboy son is more primed and looks more lethally determined to follow the path of the father.
You can add your favourite dictator who disappeared, and everyone has forgotten about them, and their descendants’ attempts to grab power are treated as a joke, and there is no possibility of such families ever holding power again.
Museveni has gradually eroded his stateman status as a statesman, even across board.
If he quit in 1996, he would have remained one of the best. But he changed the constitution to allow a president to run for two terms, and started his mandate afresh, more like Moi in 1992, after completing 14 years of Kenyatta (supposedly).
If he quit in 2001, he would have been a great leader across Africa. But he won another term.
If he quit in 2006 (when he tinkered with the constitution to remove term limits in 2005), he would still be a good leader.
If he quit in 2012, he still had a chance to be forgiven and enjoy his retirement.
In 2017, approaching the age limit of 75, then at 73, he removed the final barrier, making death the only thing that could stop him, or going back to the bush.
Never one to wish anyone death, let alone a dictator, at 81, he is closer to mortality, and that is one constitution he will never change.
He will never put his house in order, nor will the party stand long after he is gone. And every extra hour he stays in power, he ruins whatever shred of his legacy that remains.
People easily grow tired of these things.
He has arrested the development and potential of Uganda, and when leaders stay so long, the citizens become restless, tired, and one hopes their new leader, whoever will be in the next few years, will make the country great again, and have it swing back to its potential that has been consistently eroded or arrested since 1962.
To my Ugandan people, remember, it is always dark before dawn.
