I still vividly remember the moment everything I had built over the years collapsed. The day every part of my life fell apart simultaneously.
My life got formatted and everything that I had carefully crafted just crumbled before my own eyes. A fundamental reconstruction, a total overhaul of everything I knew happened in the blink of an eye. In that moment, everything I had built my identity on melted through my fingers. My soul died!
For three months, I have been facing the chaos of transformation. This has not happened in isolation. I have experienced unconditional love, and unreserved support. Sometimes I look at myself in the mirror and can’t seem to know who I am anymore! The bitter/sweet part of all this is that I will never be the same again. I have experienced pure sisterhood and I got to experience firsthand the true meaning of unreserved support. In the chaos of fundamental change, I have learnt to love more and in many aspects, I am different.
We’ve walked through rose gardens and through hellfire, laughed until our stomachs hurt and cried until our eyes were red.
Through it all and yet still together and still choosing each other. Sometimes I wonder what I ever did to deserve a blessing like you.
One lifetime could never be enough for me to love you or to reward you for all that you have been to me. So I pray that God’s blessings follow you, our children and our grandchildren, through every generation.
Happy birthday, my dearest @BarbieItungoK .
I love you❤️
The people decided that every first Sunday, we celebrate the icon, @HEBobiwine. Today, I walked with our people, listened to their voices and felt their unbroken spirit. The dream is alive, the hope is alive, and our people remain ready for change! Blessed #BobiWineDay
Dr. Kizza Besigye - an icon of our struggle, a pillar of resilience, and a true elder of the Ugandan liberation movement.
For decades, Dr. Besigye has consistently chosen conviction over comfort. He has remained steadfast and completely unyielding in the face of brutal persecution, multiple unlawful detentions, and constant threats to his life.
The Museveni regime continues to harass and torment him in the hope that they will break his spirit. Yet, through it all, he continues to stand firm - his spirit unbroken.
While we can never repay him for his enduring leadership and refusal to bow to tyranny, we can stand with him in his hour of need. I am grateful to our friends who have launched this solidarity campaign to raise funds for his welfare and mounting legal costs while he and his colleagues continue to languish in jail.
I encourage all of us to be part of this effort. Let us contribute whatever we can to support this cause. My wife @BarbieItungoK and I are making a modest contribution of UGX 5,000,000.
By standing together during these challenging times, we send a clear message to the regime: they can jail our bodies, but they can never jail our solidarity. Their attempts to throw us into disarray will not yield. Together, we shall overcome.
As the remains of His Royal Majesty, Omukama Oyo Nyimba Kabamba Iguru Rukidi IV arrive back home, we join the people of Tooro and all Ugandans in entering these nine days of solemn mourning.
King Oyo was a visionary leader, a symbol of unity, and a brilliant light who led his people with grace from a tender age. He carried the crown of his Kingdom with immense dignity, humility, and grace. Many looked at him as a symbol of what young people can achieve when given the space to lead.
He reigned with a quiet strength that inspired millions of young people across Uganda and the world, showing us that age is never a barrier to responsibility and service to your people. It is very painful that he did not get to exhaust his full potential.
His passing at such a young age is a profound loss to our culture and the nation at large.
We stand in deep solidarity with the Queen Mother, the royal family, and the entire Tooro Kingdom during this dark hour.
May we use this period of reflection to honour his legacy and leadership.
May God rest his soul in eternal peace, and may his ancestors receive him well.
Omukama atuulize. Enkuba etutiire. Entare egwiire. Mahano muno.
A special gift from my awesomely talented son, Raymond Bunjako. Sculptor, painter, carpenter - all in one person. He made this detailed portrait out of TOOTHPICK cuttings and oils. I can’t stop smiling. Bwenfanga mutekangawo kino.

🚨 De Zerbi: “At the beginning of pre-season I spoke to Richarlison and asked him if he wanted to extend his contract because I was happy to keep him with us…
…and Richarlison said NO. So I'm sorry for him but we have to go to another page”.
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.
This Sunday, we celebrate our President, @HEBobiwine!
As Ssabazoganyi, I’m calling on the comrades to turn up in our NUP T-shirts and make the day RED with pride, unity and resistance!
Tuzambale ku #BobiWineDay! ✊🏾
So this is what happens to NUP supporters after being arrested. Wearing a red shirt with either a word "fire base" or "bobi wines photo" can lead you to severe torture.
What a shame?😡
One day, you’ll also want to apologize to the Ugandans you’ve abducted and tortured in your so-called basement; to the mothers whose husbands and sons you murdered and denied even a decent burial; and to the women whose dignity you demeaned and whose bodies you objectified.
You’ll wish you could take back the reckless and hateful things you’ve said on X-the insults, threats, evil confessions and obscenities. But history offers no delete button.
Your apology today should remind you that the day will come when you are asking Ugandans for forgiveness but by then, history will already have passed its judgment.
