My mummy.
All my life I thought to myself, "I don't want to be like mummy, she works so hard, she barely has time for us." During the day, she was at mulago teaching, in the night she was at her clinic till 2am or 5am. I didn't ever want to be like mummy.
This time can take a toll on your mental health.
Take those cry breaks, it's okay to fall apart.
For the ladies, don't be shocked should your period show up twice this month.
Please take care of yourself too.
We will be okay❤️ we stay strong for those locked up too 💪
LETTER TO THE PRESIDENT
Baganda say that ‘ne gwozadde, akukubira engoma n’ozima’ (even your child can drum for you and you dance). I am here to drum for you Mr President, and I hope you dance.
Mr @KagutaMuseveni, did you ever anticipate that a time would come in your life when, at age 80, you would imprison children in their 20s for asking you to address theft of their money?
Did you ever imagine that a time would come when you would have to find something to accuse young children of so that you jail them in order to keep thieves safe and happy?
My primary school books are full of pictures of you, which I drew in reverence and awe at your personality and patriotic composure. I did not ever imagine, that I would grow into an old man, to watch you become a proud patron of thieves and a persecutor of those against thieves.
As an African elder, do you care what example you are setting to young people as you pull out all force to defend thieves in broad day light?
Do you get surprised or bothered when young people start denouncing you, that they are not your bazzukulu?
You said that now you are working for heaven in the time you are left with, I hope that this violent defence of people stealing from the underprivileged wins you a hug from Jesus. Matthew 25:40 says that “protect my dear thieves, and I will reward you 100 fold”.
As I grow, I realise everyday that age is humbling and sobering. But I have failed to understand what old age is doing to you Mr President. Defence of thieves looks very ugly on an elder. And, may I not grow to be seen as an old man staggering in chasing my grandchildren around with a big stick, for standing up to defend the right thing - Claiming that they are being spoilt by neighbours! Mr President, you need to have a candid conversation with your conscience. Thank you.
Yours in disbelief,
Jimmy Spire Ssentongo

Text the National Youth Representative for Youth and ask her why she has not made any statement on the arrest of Youth fighting Corruption. #TextTheYouthMP
You don’t have to like her, you don’t even have to understand her background to see that this is a young woman fighting for what she believes in. Leaving the comfort of her life, her well paying job and obviously ignoring social norms to stand up and say enough is enough.
@Faizafabz is not a violent person by far, she is clearly not idle or disorderly, she feeds this city with positive information every morning and hosts a Tv show about her passion which is cooking. She is far from being a threat to society.
But guess what, she is in jail for a week because she loves her country and wants to see it do better. She didn’t even walk or march anywhere but Just because she hates corruption, she was put in cuffs and remanded to a prison.
The message is clear!
