Man, this is truly one for the history books. I am utterly numb.
As ’90s kids, we were privileged to grow up in the presence of a monarch who was, in many ways, growing up alongside us.
Crowned king at just three years old following the passing of his father, he inherited not merely a throne, but the immense weight of a kingdom, a lineage and a legacy far greater than his years.
Yet he grew into that crown with remarkable dignity, stature and quiet authority. To lose him at just 34 is an unfathomable tragedy. We have lost not only a young king, but a remarkable chapter of our own generation’s story.
Some moments transcend words. Today, we mourn a king whose legacy will outlive his years.
It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that I announce the passing of His Majesty the Omukama of Tooro, King Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV, at approximately 10:00 p.m. this evening.
This is an immeasurable loss to the Royal Family, the people of Tooro and the nation of Uganda.
Omukama Atulize.
Enkuba Etutire.
I call upon the people of Tooro to remain united, calm and prayerful during this difficult time.
The continuity of the Crown is assured. His Majesty leaves behind a Prince as his heir, whose identity will be formally revealed at the appropriate time, in accordance with the traditions and customs of Tooro Kingdom.
An official statement will follow with further details, including the funeral and mourning arrangements.
May His Majesty the King rest in eternal peace.
Today I visited @LifeLink256 Hospital in Ntinda. I knew someone there who knows sign language, so I had hope that communication would be easier.
When it was time to see the doctor.. I went alone, he started speaking (with masks on), so I signed that I am Deaf. To my surprise, he responded in sign language 😊 I was shocked and happy at the same time. I immediately felt more relaxed because communication wouldn't be so difficult.
His sign language is still basic and he's still learning, but he signed things like "abdominal pain" and "headache." For the signs he didn't know, I taught him a few. It became a two-way learning experience.
It reminded me that healthcare workers don't have to be fluent in sign language to make a difference. Learning even the basics can help Deaf patients feel seen, respected, and included. Small efforts can have a big impact.
A big thank you to the doctor for making the effort to learn sign language. It may seem like a small step, but it made a big difference to my experience today. 👏🏽
I tasted @sumz_snacks all through the Rotary District Conferences, last month and I was impressed. I checked their website and realised that someone could actually make orders straight from their factory. I did so and within a second, my order was confirmed by e-mail; with an invoice, e-payment options, my address embedded and boom, the goods were at my doorstep. No transport charges.
Thank you @sumz_snacks , this is smart business.👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Naye, mwongere ku cashew nuts ne almonds. Butono nyoo.😝🤭

The current tax proposal on PAYE by Ministry of Finance is not seeking to introduce 40% on income above 10m. That has been the case and that’s how URA has always computed PAYE. The only change is in regard to the threshold from 235k to 335k. In fact the proposal shows that government is going to lose revenue of 96bn. So those crying over 40% are ignorant of how @URAuganda has always applied the schedule. Maybe the only issue is that this proposal is making it clear that 40% has always been applicable to an amount above 10m and remove the confusion that had been created by the additional 10%

BREAKING NEWS TO ALL EMPLOYEES:
1. Build a home early. Rural or urban—own something. Building a house at 45 is not an achievement. Government and company houses create dangerous comfort. Your family deserves memories in your home, not borrowed walls.
2. Go home. Don’t live at work all year. You are not the pillar of your department. If you die today, your role will be advertised tomorrow. Operations will continue. Your family should come first—always.
3. Stop chasing promotions. Chase mastery. Be excellent at what you do. If promotion comes, fine. If it doesn’t, your personal growth should never depend on corporate approval.
4. Avoid office gossip like poison. Nothing destroys careers faster than loose talk. Don’t bond over backbiting bosses or colleagues. Stay away from gatherings where people—not progress—are the agenda.
5. Never compete with your boss. You’ll burn your fingers. Don’t compete with colleagues either—you’ll fry your brain. Compete with who you were yesterday.
6. Have a side income. Salary alone will not sustain you long-term. That truth hurts—but it’s real.
7. Save automatically. If money doesn’t leave your payslip without your consent, you will never save it.
8. Borrow to invest, not to impress. Loans should change your situation, not your image. Buy luxury from profits—not debt.
9. Keep your life private. Your marriage, family, and personal struggles do not belong at work. This is not optional—it’s survival.
10. Be loyal to yourself first. Hanging around your boss will isolate you from colleagues—and when your boss leaves, you may be dumped with them.
11. Plan retirement the day you get employed. The second-best time is today. By 38–45, have an exit plan.
12. Join workplace welfare groups—and be active. They matter more than you think when life hits unexpectedly.
13. Use leave days wisely. What you do on leave reflects how you’ll live after retirement. If all you do is sit with a remote watching series, don’t expect a different retirement.
14. Start projects while still employed. Retire to run a business, not to start one. Most pensioners fail because they do it the wrong way around.
15. Pension money is not capital. It’s survival money. It’s for healthcare and upkeep—not school fees, luxury, or impulsive decisions.
16. Don’t become a retirement warning story. Be the example that makes colleagues want to retire, not fear it.
17. Retire while you still have energy. Late retirement steals family time. Many retirees can’t adjust and keep job-hunting until death. That’s tragic—and avoidable.
18. Retire into your community. Company and government housing disconnect you from society. Adjusting later is harder than people admit.
19. Never confuse benefits with security. Employment benefits are comfort traps. When you retire, no one calls you “boss” unless you built something real.
20. You will retire—voluntarily or involuntarily. Prepare early or pay painfully.
