I didn’t know Ugandan’s were so crazy about Arsenal. How much is a football jersey in Uganda? I might just bless 10 of you with the home shirt. You’ve earned it.
Your Excellency President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni,
As you prepare to take the oath once again on the 12th of May 2026, I extend to you my warm congratulations and sincere best wishes.
For me, this occasion is deeply personal and reflective.
I have had the privilege of knowing you from our younger days and of walking with you through different chapters of Uganda’s journey, from the early days of UPM, through the formative years of NRM, in Parliament, and later in the Constituent Assembly that gave Uganda the 1995 Constitution.
With time, history becomes memory, and memory teaches humility.
Over the years, I have watched you engage presidents and peasants, diplomats and ordinary wananchi with the same simplicity and ease. One of your most remarkable qualities has been your ability to remain approachable, patient, forgiving, and attentive to people despite the enormous weight of office and responsibility.
Many leaders become distant because of power.
You somehow remained connected to people. There are certain moments that remain deeply engraved in memory because they reveal the true character of a person beyond public office and politics.
I remember one particular evening when you returned from Cairo late at night. Many people would naturally have gone home to rest after such a long journey. Instead, you drove straight to Ntinda to visit an elderly lady in her nineties who was bedridden and nearing the end of her life. You sat with her in her home for several hours, speaking gently, listening patiently, comforting her and her family before she eventually passed on not long thereafter. That moment stayed with me.
I remember another occasion when I accompanied you to Luwero to visit an elderly woman whose family you had known during the difficult years of the war. Her small home was visibly worn by time. I still remember looking up and seeing holes in the old rusted iron sheets above us as rain clouds gathered in the distance. She offered us a weak wooden bench to sit on as you spoke with her at length, asking about her health, her children, her sisters, relatives, and even the resting place of her late husband. It was not a political visit. It was human.
You later promised to build her a better home and, true to your word, you fulfilled that promise.
I must confess that the entire scene moved me deeply and remains difficult to forget even today. Over the years, I have witnessed many similar moments that rarely reach newspapers or public platforms, moments that quietly reveal your compassion, humility, loyalty, memory, and genuine concern for ordinary people (obuntu).
You have kept old friendships, remembered old comrades, respected culture and tradition, and continued to listen even to those who disagree with you. I know very few leaders who can move comfortably from a village discussion to a high level diplomatic meeting without changing who they are.
Politics often rewards noise.
History rewards endurance (okugumisiriza).
Uganda’s journey has not been perfect, because no nation’s journey ever is. Yet few can deny that under your leadership Uganda has witnessed remarkable transformation in peace, infrastructure, education, regional influence, private sector growth, national confidence and dignity .
Entire generations have grown up knowing only a stable Uganda, connected to the region and increasingly engaged with the world. That, whatever one’s political views may be, is part of your contribution to history.
I have no idea who wrote this.. but every man should read it.
The Lonely End of a Good Man
He started early. Graduated top of his class.
PhD before his peers even finished their Masters.
A man of discipline no smoke, no drink, no scandals.
He chose one woman, married his best friend, stayed faithful.
He raised four brilliant children, sent them all abroad on merit.
Gave them everything he never had.
They now live good lives in foreign lands married, thriving, far away.
He is now over 70. A professor. A man respected in academic circles, but forgotten in the quiet corners of his own home.
Today, he stands in his kitchen, cooking matooke alone.
His wife the woman he built everything with left for a routine visit to help their daughter with childbirth.
That was three years ago.
She never came back, claiming, she wants to get her residency or green card.
Now she belongs to the children.
She FaceTimes him on birthdays and sends love in group chats, but her heart no longer lives here.
He has become a bachelor again by abandonment, not by choice.
This is the lonely end of a good man.
A man who did everything right.
Who never cheated.
Who never strayed.
Who lived by the book.
Who believed love and duty were enough.
And yet, here he is.
Alone.
Heartbroken.
Still in love with a woman who forgot to come home.
And this is not just his story this is the silent fate of many “good men.”
Now the hard questions must be asked:
If he was a polygamist, would one wife have stayed?
If he mingled with friends, built strong social networks, joined the staff club, would it have made the silence less deafening?
If he had a side chick someone who also cared would he feel less invisible now?
If he lived a little less for others and a little more for himself, would this end still look the same?
This is not a call to abandon virtue, but a call to reexamine balance.
Because loyalty is beautiful, but loneliness is brutal.
And love, when it is not mutual in old age, becomes a slow heartbreak no medicine can cure.
To the men reading this;
how do we escape ending up like this?
What structures, relationships, and self-preservation must we build today to ensure we’re not cooking matooke alone at 75, asking where everybody went?
Because being good is not enough.
Not anymore.
🚨 "Will Anthony Martial play for Man United again?".
Erik ten Hag: "It depends on him. It's about how quick is he back and what are the levels that he is showing".
↪️ In any case, Martial will leave Man United as free agent in the summer as reported in January. 100% sure.
