As you give opinions about Tooro,
have you written your own will?
Do you sometimes sit and imagine what would happen in your family if you died today?

[Jim Spire Ssentongo @SpireJim]

That nagging pain that feels like you were family. Memories from a distance that feel like you were so close. Royalty that came with unusual humility and low profile. No drama, no harm, no noise - just human.

As a Ugandan, it fills me with pride to see an illustrious son of our nation carry a lifetime of global service, a fierce commitment to the vulnerable, and a deep passion for justice to the world stage.

For years, many of us have followed with great respect, Ambassador Olara Otunnu’s incredible track record at the United Nations.

His work championing human rights and protecting children in armed conflict is exactly the kind of leadership the global community desperately needs right now. True leadership is measured by integrity, vision, and an unwavering dedication to peace and justice.

We can not forget the historical injustice when the Museveni regime vindictively denied him an endorsement for this very position years ago. They blocked him for simply refusing to stay silent about the atrocities they were committing against our people. Perhaps if he had risen to that position at the time, the world would be fairer, more just, and more peaceful.

Central to his vision is a profound passion for genuine multilateral reform, where international institutions must evolve beyond mere arenas of superpower politics to become true instruments of equity, accountability, and shared prosperity for all nations.

I hear some citizens who are raising tough questions about why the regime has suddenly changed its mind to endorse him now. Your scepticism is understandable, given what the bloodthirsty regime is doing to our people. And I know Ambassador Otunnu to be a man of deep humility who welcomes free speech and receives your concerns with grace. We can all bank on his long-term, proven integrity and hope that when he rises to become the world’s top diplomat, he will never turn a blind eye to the ongoing struggle for freedom in his own motherland. As he has consistently acknowledged, Uganda faces dark spots that need fixing.

Ambassador Otunnu has my full solidarity and prayers as he carries our collective aspirations for a fairer world to the global stage.

I WAS ABOUT TO GIVE MY SON UGX 50 MILLION TO START A BUSINESS. UNCLE RWAMITI ASKED: “WHY NOT START WITH 500,000?”

Mzee Ssentongo’s son Brian was 30. Educated, intelligent and full of ideas.

For two years, he had struggled to find his footing.

Then one evening Brian approached his father.

“Dad, I have decided. I want to start a food-processing business.”

Mzee Ssentongo was delighted.

“At last!”

Brian had done his research. He knew the machinery he needed. He had identified premises. Someone could design the packaging.

He even had a company name:

BRIAN FRESH FOODS LTD.

“How much do you need?”

“About fifty million.”

Dad could afford it.

A few days later, he proudly told Uncle Rwamiti.

“I think I should support the boy.”

Rwamiti listened.

“What will Brian manufacture?”

Ssentongo explained.

“Is somebody already making that product?”

“Of course.”

“Can Brian buy it from them?”

“Yes.”

“Then why does he need a machine?”

“To manufacture it himself!”

Rwamiti smiled.

“Has Brian ever sold this product?”

“No.”

“Does he know which sizes move fastest?”

“No.”

“Which shops sell most?”

“No.”

“Cash or credit?”

“I don’t know.”

“Typical retailer margin?”

“I don’t know.”

“How quickly does stock move?”

Ssentongo was becoming irritated.

“Rwamiti, how will the boy learn all this unless he starts?”

“Exactly!”

Rwamiti leaned forward.

“But why start with the machine? Start with the trade.”

His proposal was simple:

UGX 500,000.
One product.
Three months.

Brian would find a wholesaler already supplying the product.

Buy a small quantity.

Sell it.

Buy again.

Sell again.

For three months.

No factory.

No machinery.

No fancy office.

No 5,000 packets carrying Brian’s smiling logo.

😂

Just buying and selling.

Soon Brian would discover things no PowerPoint presentation could teach him.

Which customers buy?

Which sizes move?

What margins are realistic?

Who demands credit?

What causes returns?

Which competitors dominate?

Why?

And perhaps most importantly:

Does Brian even like this trade?

After three months, father and son would sit down with actual evidence.

Maybe Brian would say:

“Dad, there is a market. I have customers. If we manufacture ourselves, we can improve the margin.”

Now the UGX 50 million conversation becomes interesting.

Or perhaps Brian discovers terrible margins, slow-moving stock and customers who promise to pay on Friday but disappear until Tuesday.

😂

Then Rwamiti can say:

“Congratulations, Brian. Your UGX 500,000 experiment may just have saved your father UGX 49.5 million.”

Sometimes parents think supporting an adult child means providing enough capital to start big.

Perhaps there is another way.

Finance learning.
Finance fieldwork.
Finance the first trade.
Let bigger money follow evidence.

Before Brian buys the machine, let him learn the trade.

Because sometimes:

THE FIRST MACHINE YOU NEED TO BUY IS EXPERIENCE.

There’s a silver lining to every hardship. Nothing that the Almighty sends your way is bad. At times, being let down by someone can be the direct cause for you to dig deep in yourself, finding your own strength. You learn to depend only on the One who made you. No one else matters.
