@iam_igumira What do football clubs like Bayern use to celebrate victory?

And why do we always use Champagne after winning a trophy? What do they call that Western culture? Apart from the context. Is it different from this?

@22BET_Uganda I made some ka money on Friday, got excited and decided to put half of it back to make some more money only to get beaten.

But at least I have eaten ko something from muyindi. . .

We try again this week ….

Is this the kind of Uganda we are building?!
Double standards! If you even aren’t ashamed enough to respond like this then let’s say that we Ugandans don’t deserve to pay taxes!

[Uganda Revenue Authority @URAuganda]

Hi @sudhirntv, the "container" is a fully functional tax office that is key in tax education, awareness, handling tax related inquiries and there for easy accessibility to all taxpayers.

It's location is strategic.

But what is saddening here is that Bodas still use those walkways even those along the bypass.

Civility needs to be instilled on these guys. One day I almost got knocked from behind

[Allan Ssempebwa Kyobe, Chart. PR @assempebwa]

📌Today’s Office: Kampala Northern Bypass: This morning, I watched school children and pedestrians confidently use the footbridge along the Northern Bypass, [Kyebando-Bukoto stretch], no worry of car crash risks!!

Now this is what urban infrastructure should do; separate people from high-speed traffic, reduce conflict points, and protect vulnerable road users!!!

We can therefore say this engineering solution did not only provide for vehicular traffic but also pedestrian safety!

Let protect this very vital asset!

@GovUganda , the European Union and the Contractor Mota Engil delivered on this one!🤙🏾

The gender mystery is upon us all. That rent top up thing isn’t actually played on one random ‘male friend’ alone. More like 5 will give the ka 200k and that makes 1M.

But try to ask her for a little loan of 50k years later and u will be told ‘I have a lot of bills please’

[Dr. Sserunjogi Emma @DrSerunjogiEmma]

Ehh! but women are stingy ��😂😂😂 Doctor Faith had 5,243,027ugx and sent his suffering sweetheart only 41,000ugx.
Not even an extra 500 since withdraw charge on 40,000ugx is 1500😂😂😂😂

If the tables had turned, how much do you think a man would send off this?

Reminds me of a female friend who asked me to help top up on her rent, got 200k off my 1M and gave her, not a loan.
A few days later, I found out they robbed her of 12M she was saving to buy land. I felt bad and happy 😂😂😂

[Simon Eroku -Tech4Inclusion Consultant @ErokuSimon]

@cynthiechoco @mtnug I want to be cross-examined in this case

Joined a candid convo on Increasing women’s voices in the Media during the #UgandaMediaWeek2025 organized by @MFAUganda.

It’s so telling that women representation in the Media in Uganda (23%) is till below the global index of 27%

@PerryAritua from @wdn Ug has a suggestion . . .

@fsnakazibwe I shower 3 times a day

[Simon Eroku -Tech4Inclusion Consultant @ErokuSimon]

MEN!

We have to stand up and say it.

It’s 16 days of Activism Against Gender Based Violence.

Do not think it’s only women and the female gender who are victims.

Men are also victims against Domestic violence and we have to use these 16 days to speak out!
Say No to Violence!

[Canary Mugume @CanaryMugume]

There’s been an attempt to label me an abuser and an irresponsible father.

On being accused of being an abuser:
I normally choose silence, but there are narratives that must be corrected. So allow me say this; I am part of the unreported statistics of men who experience domestic violence from partners with uncontrolled anger issues. But because ‘we are men in a corporate world,’ we stay silent, show up every day. I restrained myself immensely despite all provocations and assaults. But society will, of course, believe the female gender. I have evidence of myself bleeding after being assaulted. All my closest friends, family know this.

On being accused of being an irresponsible father:
Despite having only seen my children ONCE in the last ten months, I have never stopped sending money monthly, a figure that wasn’t decided by me, but by my accuser. There is evidence of this: messages saying “thank you” and receipts of the transactions.

I have gone to court, fought, and been granted custody of my children, custody that authorities deliberately failed to enforce (that is a story for another day). Custody was granted on grounds of desertion: the mother had deserted them in a locked apartment with a maid while she was traveling overseas. Since January, I have been denied access to my children, despite numerous requests to seem and third parties intervening.

To men: speak up against violence from your wives when you still have the chance. I suffered in silence for too long. It didn’t help.

This is the last time I am addressing this issue, please give me space to heal.
