@SpireJim Let him prepare the little he can and pay to the girl’s family! Just pay. The other way he wants to perceive it is his. Let him pay and respect what they’ve had in the 10 years!
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.
PRINCESS ELIZABETH BAGAYA
* Born in 1936 in Kabarole, she is the daughter of the late King of Tooro, Omukama George Rukidi III, and Queen Kezia.
* She was the first East African woman to graduate with a law degree from the University of Cambridge (1962) and the first to be called to the English Bar as a barrister (1965).
* Returning to Uganda, she became the first woman admitted to the Ugandan Bar in 1966.
* After traditional kingdoms were abolished by Milton Obote in 1966, she fled to London, where she became a globally renowned supermodel, signing with the Ford Agency and making history as the first Black model to appear on the cover of Harper's Bazaar.
* She studied acting in New York and starred in major international films like Bullfrog in the Sun and Sheena: Queen of the Jungle.
* When Idi Amin took power, she returned and served as Uganda’s Foreign Minister in 1974.
* Her relationship with Amin soured over false accusations, leading to her house arrest and eventual escape from the country in 1975 to save her life.
* After fleeing political hostility a second time under Obote's regime, she secretly married Prince Wilberforce Nyabongo (an aviation engineer) in London in 1981.
* Her husband died suddenly in a fatal plane crash in December 1986 at just 32 years old.
* Devastated by his death, she stepped away from her role as Uganda’s Ambassador to the United States in 1988 to dedicate her life to global charity work, never remarrying or having children.
* She later returned to national diplomacy, serving as Uganda’s Ambassador to Germany, the Vatican, and High Commissioner to Nigeria.
* When traditional kingdoms were restored and her brother King Patrick Kaboyo VII passed away in 1995, she became a principal regent and official guardian to her toddler nephew, King Oyo.
* Today, at 90 years old, she remains a highly respected pillar of the Tooro Kingdom.
This is one of the most heartbreaking videos I have watched. 💔
Dear parents, sometimes it costs nothing to show up for your children, to listen to them, and to help them when they need you most regardless of the misunderstandings you two be having.
How heartbreaking is it that a sick a young boy has to come online and plead for medical treatment? His video begins:
“Hey Daddy, I hope you’re doing well. This time, it’s not school fees. Please help me with my hospital bills. I beg you, I don’t want to die. I’ve gone through multiple surgeries, and my mum is not stable at all.”
Kindly, let’s push this video. 🙏🏽 Perhaps his father will see it and help his son. One share could make a difference.
People joke about the power of land and real estate.
I know a TikToker who we introduced to property investment just 2 years ago. Today, at 23, she has built a portfolio worth over UGX 2 billion and drives a GLE.
The crazy part? At 19, she was selling car spare parts in Kikuubo.
Never underestimate how fast your life can change when you get into the right room, with the right people, at the right time.
Lamara is one year old.
She has spent more of her life in a hospital than at home.
In January, one operation changes that. It lets her eat, play, and grow like any other child.
Her family cannot pay alone.
Give what you can. Share if you cannot.
