Maama Miria Matembe has been brought to court. She appears to be very weak.
More prayers for her.

[Sir Dan Magic @SirDanMagic1]

Abducted. Tortured at her age. Then brought to court days later when she can barely walk. It’s heartbreaking. It’s painful. No one deserves this.💔😭

🚨UPDATE: Sometime back, NTV News reporter Solomon Kaweesa did this story of how Nation Media Group (NMG) and the government have been battling since its establishment.

They have been closed several times, but what NMG didn't stop, no matter how many times it has been closed, is reporting facts.

And today, it happened again. The military, on the orders of Museveni’s son and the military chief Muhoozi Kainerugaba has shuttered NTV, SPARK TV, and Daily Monitor because they refused to be compromised

Let this be clear: the shutdown of NMG outlets is not just an attack on a media house it is an assault on the very soul of our democracy. The fight for the rule of law and a free press is the fight for our collective future. When the truth is silenced, tyranny thrives.

Journalism is not a crime

From a Buddhist Samurai Family to One of Japan’s Greatest Muslim Pioneers 🇯🇵☪️

His name was Hajji Umar Ryuichi Mita (Omar Mita)—one of the most influential Muslims in East Asia and a pioneering figure who dedicated his life to introducing Islam and the Qur’an to the Japanese people.

Born on December 19, 1892, in Yamaguchi Prefecture, Japan, Mita was raised in a distinguished Buddhist family with samurai ancestry. After graduating from Yamaguchi University’s College of Commerce in 1916, health problems led him to travel to China for treatment. There, his life changed forever.

While living in China, he developed close friendships with Chinese Muslims. Their honesty, kindness, and strong sense of community deeply impressed him, sparking a lifelong interest in Islam.

In 1920, he published an article titled “Islam in China,” expressing his admiration for Muslim civilization. He later met Hajji Umar Yamaoka, the first Japanese Muslim to perform Hajj, whose efforts in spreading Islam across Japan further inspired him to study the faith.

After years of research, reflection, and study, Mita embraced Islam at the age of 49 in Beijing under the guidance of Imam Wang Ruilan. He chose the name Umar in honor of the second Caliph, Umar ibn Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him).

From that moment, he devoted his life to serving Islam. He studied Arabic, became actively involved in Islamic education and outreach, and later served as an adviser to the Supreme Council of the Chinese Islamic Associations due to his deep knowledge of Chinese Muslim affairs.

Following World War II, Hajji Umar Mita became one of Japan’s leading Muslim figures. In 1960, he was elected President of the Japan Muslim Association, where he worked tirelessly to introduce Islam to the Japanese public through lectures, books, and educational programs.

He authored several important works, including Understanding Islam and Introduction to Islam, and translated The Lives of the Companions into Japanese. In 1957, he traveled to Pakistan to study Arabic and Islamic sciences and performed Hajj the following year, strengthening his connection with the wider Muslim world.

His Greatest Legacy: The First Japanese Qur’an Translation by a Muslim

Although Japanese translations of the Qur’an had existed before, they were all produced by non-Muslim scholars. Hajji Umar Mita began translating the meanings of the Qur’an into Japanese in 1960, dedicating 12 years to the project.

He carefully relied on authentic Islamic commentaries (tafsir), striving to produce a translation that was both accurate and easy for Japanese readers to understand while avoiding Buddhist or philosophical terminology that might distort the Qur’an’s message.

The translation was completed in 1972 after extensive scholarly review, including evaluation by the Muslim World League. Printed in Hiroshima, it quickly became the most respected Japanese translation of the Qur’an and introduced thousands of Japanese readers to Islam.

More than a linguistic achievement, it reflected the faith, scholarship, and lifelong dedication of a man who spent decades serving the religion he embraced.

Hajji Umar Mita continued his educational and da’wah efforts until his passing on May 29, 1983. Today, he is remembered as one of the most important Muslim figures in modern Japanese history and a pioneer whose legacy continues to inspire Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

A man spends 50 years teaching at MIT.

He knows his time is running out.

So he records one last lecture — everything he knows, distilled into a single hour.

He died 5 months later.

This is that lecture.

The most important hour you'll watch this week. 👇

The goalkeeper you see prostrating in front of you is genuinely living the best days of his life.

This is Benjamin Asare, Ghana’s 33-year-old goalkeeper, who made three saves today and kept a clean sheet against England before celebrating after the game with this prostration.

What makes his story special is that almost nobody knew who he was. For most of his career, he played in Ghana’s second division. On top of that, his financial situation was so difficult that he had to work on cocoa farms for three straight years just to support his family and keep his football dream alive.

The remarkable part is that Asare kept pushing until he earned a move to Ghanaian top-flight side Accra Hearts of Oak in 2025. He then received his first-ever call-up to the Ghana national team during the World Cup qualifiers, where he played six games and conceded just one goal.

Asare went on to become the first Ghanaian player in history to represent his country at a World Cup while playing in the domestic league. He also made six saves across games against Panama and England and didn’t concede a single goal.

Glory to those who never stop working for their dreams. To every Ghanaian reading this: congratulations. You should be proud. Stories like Benjamin Asare’s are what make football beautiful, and seeing one of your own rise from cocoa farms to the World Cup stage is something worth celebrating. 🇬🇭❤️

Titus Njari Ndei, 41, led Kitengela landlords to build their own private sewer line after years of sanitation problems in the fast-growing town.
With the population ballooning, property owners had relied on expensive septic tanks that often overflowed and posed health risks.

Frustrated by the Kajiado County Government’s failure to provide a lasting solution, the landlords decided to take action.

The push started in 2013 when the county sued 22 plot owners for discharging raw sewage, contrary to the Public Health Act. They were released on bonds of KSh 180,000–200,000.

Two months later, the accused landlords mobilized under Engineer Ndei and registered the Kitengela EPZ Neighbouring Community Sewer Project. They secured approvals from EPZA, NEMA, and other authorities, then funded a KSh 85 million, 45-kilometre, 2-foot-wide sewer line running to the Athi River EPZ trunk sewer.

The project was funded by hundreds of landlords contributing KSh 250,000 each plus a KSh 1,000 registration fee, and paying EPZA tariff fees ranging from KSh 7,500 to KSh 74,000.

The completed sewer now serves 818 landlords and has eased the burden of paying KSh 200,000 every 2-3 weeks to the county for waste disposal. Ndei says the community initiative gives residents a chance to manage sanitation sustainably.

I’m glad that Hon. @masabakarim declined to be bullied. This style of presiding over the House MUST stop. Parliament should not function as a rubber stamp. “Honourable” is not merely a title, it is a standard of conduct that must be upheld when presiding over the House. @ObothOboth

🇵🇹 LUIS FIGO: "Está claro que algunos jugadores no quieren a Cristiano Ronaldo en el equipo de manera evidente. Tal vez piensan que los frena, pero olvidan todo lo que él ha hecho por este país. El joven Cristiano no necesitaba a nadie para marcar goles, ganaba los partidos él solo. Durante años cargó a Portugal sobre sus hombros. Cristiano es Portugal en sí mismo. Merece respeto y una despedida honorable digna de una leyenda.

Cuando Cristiano fue convocado por primera vez a la selección nacional, respetaba a todos los jugadores mayores que él. Ahora tenemos delante a niños arrogantes... Pero ¿qué han conseguido ellos? Nada. La única razón por la que creemos que podemos ganar una Copa del Mundo es él. Él es la inspiración de todos."
