@DapsDraws @Succreart @MacmillanKidsUK @TwoHootsBooks It was such fun writing this story for young minds and hearts.

[Doreen Baingana @dbaing01]

@mtnug I have, but please note this is not just my problem but one suffered by many with an MTN line. How will you help us all?

[Doreen Baingana @dbaing01]

@mtnug I thought having my mobile money use limited with no warning at all, and waiting in line for service for more than an hour was terrible service, but having my line off for FOUR DAYS after a "successful update" is beyond comprehension. Shame on you, MTN Uganda!

[Doreen Baingana @dbaing01]

@mtnug @gravity256 Why not focus on providing quality phone and customer service instead?

Today is the day, I finally got to understand Baingana's statement.

[Doreen Baingana @dbaing01]

Looking forward.

@ADralega @josieevegallo Rather, the life-threatening disease is used to bolster the false narrative!
