I once called someone I genuinely believed was a man of honour.
"Call me tomorrow," he said.
Tomorrow became unanswered calls. Then ignored messages.
That was enough.
Since then, I've stopped judging people by titles, status, or appearance.
Some of the most dependable people in my life have been those society stereotypes ba Rastas, men with tattoos, ordinary workers, the so-called underdogs.
🤏They answered.
🤏They showed up.
🤏They kept their word.
Honour isn't how important you look. It's whether people can trust what comes out of your mouth.
If you can't keep your word, your reputation is just branding.
Omar Artan is back in Mogadishu.
The Somali referee was set to become the first man from his country to play an on-pitch role at the World Cup.
Artan was barred from entering the US despite holding a diplomatic passport and a single-entry US visa.

I agree, Intern doctors should be ranked above DEI Pharma, Atiak Sugar, Lubowa, and Inspire Coffee – which have and continue to consume billions.
While those other are (unnecessary) promises for the future, intern doctors are presently real in the lives of ordinary Ugandans. As has been said plenty of times, it is not uncommon to find a public medical facility manned entirely by interns.
Their labor cannot to be for free. In fact, interns is the language of exploitation. These are actual doctors – only new in the field.

Your phone cracks a screen protector every week and you lose keys to your single room each month and you now want to look after my daughter? Boss, first deal with the challenge of making sure you shoe has polish every day and that you have regular showers and brush your teeth each morning!
We then can see if you can look after another human being after you have demonstrated capability to look after you!
