#DidYouKnow that we offer our loans through @WhatsApp?

Instead of creating yet another app for people to download, we use a platform our customers are already familiar with. Win-win!

Done it many times, but always thought it odd that Easter, the holiest day on the Christian calendar, commemorating the resurrection of Jesus, is commonly celebrated by eating chocolate effigies of Bunny Rabbits and boiling, decorating, then hiding Chicken embryos from children.

“I never met Dr. Norman Borlaug…but I've admired him for years.”

Borlaug gets a special mention in @BillGates new book, so here’s an introduction to the man who inspired his decision to work with smallholder farmers in the world’s poorest countries.

Mar-a-Lago members are quitting in droves. Turns out, it’s just not the same if you can't hear the launch codes being shouted over the shrimp buffet.

The president wants a big military send-off tomorrow. Unfortunately, the military is busy defending the Capitol from his supporters.

The electoral commission here in Uganda has announced that Yoweri Museveni has won a sixth term in office. I've seen one group of NRM supporters beeping on bodas across Kampala. But the city is eerily quiet for a Saturday evening. 1/

Well, it’s about time. This should have happened 150 years ago.

The president’s right that people shouldn’t compare him to Nixon. Nixon got re-elected.

*#UGANDA UPDATE*

Major military and security deployment continues around the home of Bobi Wine. While tensions are high - "military intimidating and scaring people" - it seems to have cooled down a bit. The fast media presence undoubtedly helped prevent the worst from happening.
