@rkalyes1 @Ug_kidneyf @JosephOgavu @graekan @RoseMuhindo1 @ACCESS_UG @ChefKarim02 @DMavine @MinofHealthUG @DrKisaBrian @DrOribaDan @dr_RaymondM It’s a pity that this illegality is going on
But is it in response to a vacuum?
The authorities should do the needful and set up authentic units across the country.
The access disproportion could be the reason patients are turning to these “kafunda units” for the much needed care

This #InternationalHumanRightsDay calls us to reflect on dignity and justice that strengthens our shared humanity.

As GBBU we say Human rights has no age limit - let's shine a light on older persons and the vulnerable children they nurture—because everyone deserves a right!

The Old Men Who Never Leave: Why Some Africans Still Trust Their Ageing Strongmen
AFRICA’S political stage remains dominated by its elders — men in their late seventies, eighties, and even nineties. Since September 2025, two elections have reaffirmed this: Cameroon’s October 12 presidential vote, where Paul Biya, 92 and in power for 43 years, is projected to win again; and Malawi’s September 16 poll, where Peter Mutharika, 85, returned with 56.8% after defeating incumbent Lazarus Chakwera.
Between October 17, 2025, and January 30, 2026, three more contests loom — in Ivory Coast (October 25), Tanzania (October 29), and Uganda (January 12, 2026) — with Alassane Ouattara, 83, and Yoweri Museveni, 81 and ruling since 1986, expected to prevail by hook or crook.
There is a cottage industry in mocking these “dinosaurs”, yet few ask why, despite their baggage, they endure — winning power, stealing it, or buying it. This gerontocracy, or rule by elders, cannot be dismissed as mere manipulation; its roots run deeper.
One of the more common explanations is that frica’s precolonial systems revolved around councils of elders who embodied memory, restraint, and continuity. That instinct survived colonial rule and the chaos of post-independence coups, when relative young soldiers like Uganda’s Idi Amin and Central African Republic’s Jean-Bédel Bokassa proved that zeal could ruin nations faster than it rebuilt them. Out of those ashes came a logic: older meant safer.
Today, the endurance of these patriarchs also reflects pragmatism. Afrobarometer surveys show many Africans care less about age or term limits than about peace, jobs, and stability. Their leaders exploit that sentiment. The “old man” becomes a comfort figure — the one who has “seen everything” and promises predictability. As one voter quips, “Let him continue; he’ll only steal for five more years. A young one might steal for forty.”
Beyond constitutional tweaks and patronage, the digital age has turbocharged gerontocracy. Presidential teams use TikTok and Facebook to recast frail rulers as gentle guardians, streaming nostalgia, hugs, and ribbon cuttings — emotional currency in fragile economies.
Biya’s longevity anchors Cameroon’s fragile ethnic mix. Museveni markets Uganda’s calm as his legacy. Ouattara, the technocrat-turned-patriarch, trades growth for liberty. Mutharika’s comeback proves nostalgia wins as effectively as coercion.
To some, it is stagnation; to others, insurance — the belief that the past, however flawed, feels safer than an uncertain future. Put another way, we are doomed.

I've been on the road and driving successfully for the last 8 years, thanks to one person I no longer talk to or see - My EX, who helped teach me how to drive.

Around 2016, I met this gorgeous, beautiful, independent and driving young lady who took my breath away..

From the onset, I knew she was the one. We had been texting online for like 3 months before we physically decided to meet.......
