PHIL BAMWINE
Have told you this story over and over again, @WembiReports walked into GREAT LAKES SAFARIS compound about 4yrs ago now and encouraged me to start sharing my thoughts on Twitter then.
Used to engage on Facebook and once in a while wrote articles for the bigger news papers on a number of topics. I even got a column with the MONITOR NEWS PAPER!
I STILL FIND OLDER PEOPLE WHO ASK ME WHY I STOPPED THE COLUMN, THEY LOVED IT.
Joining TWITTER was very rocky, there are people who thought I didnβt belong because this was only for Ugandas elites and at one point, i nearly believed it.
Yes, there are so many brilliant people here but also lots of less brilliant ones and to be honest, they are the majority seeing from how guys jump from topic to topic.
Anyhow, while quite a number started a war with me here accusing me of types of things, @bamwinejnr with big numbers started sharing everything I posted even without knowing me.
@bamwinejnr doesnβt have a bigger account by mistake, somehow he has convinced you guys to follow him. And numbers matter.
Once in a while, he comes to our office and discuss stuff about life and I will share some experiences in life with him. I have made many mistakes( learning opportunities) and also done many things over the years.
Itβs good to see my young guys progressing especially those who have been so useful to me.
The US State Department is trying to help get Cape Verde goalkeeper Vozinhaβs mother to the United States to watch her son play in the World Cup, a State Department official said. https://t.co/VlsPDHmJZl
So her friend is living in a penthouse, driving multiple cars, and collecting farm titles like certificates, but somehow sheβs supposed to ignore all that and remain content?
The pressure was always going to win.
Saccoβs in western Uganda are the real thing , banks donβt compete , you will find a Sacco like Mushanga in a storied building yet Absa is in a ka very small space and with no traffic at all.
Rumor has it that the reason the new national IDs aren't working is that the old contractor (Chinese) refused to hand over the data to the new contractor (German). They might call us to re-register soon and cancel all the new IDs.
