Always talk to your coworkers like you’re being recorded.

[Diyana Chunga @DD_eeyanac]

The world right now just feels like a test of how desperate you are 🤣 job markets, friendships, love… everything, “are you willing to tolerate anything to maintain this?”

hide your sadness. no one cares

I’m pretty disappointed that I grew up believing bad people would face consequences for doing terrible things, only to become an adult and realize that bad people literally get away with everything. Sometimes, they even get rewarded for it.

[Uchenna. @Favour_Ogazi]

One thing I’m taking seriously these days is building a life that can survive change. Jobs end. People leave. Economies shift. Plans fail. I don’t want one unexpected event to have the power to completely dismantle me.

[Sandy @sandy_carter]

Corporate life will teach you that knowing the work is only half the battle. The real skill is staying calm in meetings, reading the situation, handling egos, receiving vague feedback, and not responding to emails with your true thoughts.

[Blossom is Organizing DevCon26 - 19th December @DedeCodex]

We’ve lost the art of fighting for friendships, relationships, or simply people worth fighting for. Everyone seems to be wearing their ego on their sleeves.

[Tai Lopez @tailopez]

Marcus Aurelius was right, the moment you are disturbed by insult or pleased by praise, you are still a slave.

[Alex Oluwatobi @alexlobaloba]

I killed my sense of entitlement a very long time ago. Nobody owes me anything. I wish for the best and still expect the worse from anyone; and nobody is coming to save me but me.

[Donald B Kipkorir @DonaldBKipkorir]

When a Kenyan company is looking for a CEO, the one mandatory minimum requirement is MASTERS DEGREE or higher! This has forced many Kenyans to acquire Masters Degrees even when they don’t know what Thesis they wrote as it was sub-contracted to their Professors.

And therein lies the tragedy. With all the Degrees, Kenyan companies have been unable to dig themselves out of holes.

In the US, Apple has just appointed John Ternus has its CEO. Ternus has only one Degree. Apple is valued at us$5Trillion … bigger than the entire GDP of Africa.

Of US 500 biggest companies, 188 don’t have any university degree.

We have put too much premium on Masters Degrees even instead of cognitive intelligence. We end up with charlatans as Ministers, PSes, CEOs & Presidential Advisors!

Also, in Kasolo Robins Ellis vs. Julius Joseph Delahaije Geertrude; Civil Reference No.3 of 2023 (July 1, 2024) Supreme Court (per Chibita, Musoke & Musota, JJSC) affirmed that a prudent litigant should not be penalized for systematic delays caused by judicial staff and ECCMIS👌🏿.

[PM Digital Law Hub @pmlawhub]

The High Court of Uganda has affirmed that service of court summons through WhatsApp may constitute effective service where the requirements for electronic service are satisfied.

In Super Image Limited and Another v. Micro Finance Support Centre Limited, HCMA No. 0878 of 2026, Hon. Lady Justice Susan Odongo held that summons served through WhatsApp were effective, relying on Rules 3 and 4 of the Judicature (Electronic Filing, Service and Virtual Proceedings) Rules, 2025.

⚖️ Key takeaway:
Electronic service can have binding procedural consequences. Parties and advocates should treat electronically transmitted court documents seriously and maintain proper records of receipt and transmission.

This decision comes ahead of our FREE Online Symposium on Electronic Service of Court Process, where we shall discuss the law, emerging practice and practical implications of electronic service.

TAX LAW ALERT: For all Influencers, digital creators and entertainers: your next gig comes with a tax deduction as Government expands the tax base.
Anyone paying a singer, actor, comedian, influencer or digital creator for a public or filmed appearance must now withhold 6% of the gross payment and remit it to URA.
For resident individuals, the 6% withholding tax is final. The compliance obligation falls on the event organisers, brands, broadcasters. The interesting bit is that the material on the online platforms and the online/ digital content may be the very material/ information that will be the basis and evidence for the tax enforcement.

Good News for Salary Earners (PAYE) . You can now earn up to UGX 4,020,000 a year (about UGX 335,000 a month) before any tax is deducted. Previously the tax-free amount was only UGX 2,820,000 a year (UGX 235,000 a month). A new 25% tax band has been added for middle incomes. Most people earning above roughly UGX 485,000 a month will save a flat UGX 165,000 a year in tax. Employers must recalculate July and August 2026 salaries and refund any tax that was over-deducted.
