The other day I was talking about the dehumanising housing conditions of police officers, the tins (unipots). I’m made to learn that it’s actually a privilege to get them, and that it is the same for Prisons officers. For Prisons, I’m told that some of them stay in dormitory settings, separated by curtains, with wives! If one has money, they can build their own on Prisons land, which they can sell or rent out upon being transferred. And because these institutions do not usually entertain free speech, the officers just accept their conditions to avoid reprisals. But, with all the money wasted in this county, can’t these officers (especially in low ranks) be thought about as well to live decent lives? Their work itself is already a sacrifice, why add on the burden of housing them like building site materials! The problem is not that the country can’t afford. Its priorities.

How do we raise courageous children in a world that punishes truth?

When speaking up at home invites violence, speaking up in the workplace results in sidelining, speaking up in public spaces makes one a target, and speaking up as the media results in a total blackout?

How do we raise a courages generation that fights for truth 🤔?

When abducters deny knowledge of a person they picked, the fate is likely to be like Sam Mugumya’s. After all they got away with disappearing Sam and nothing happened. Every successful act of impunity emboldens more impunity, in even worse forms.

Economic Default Position

One thing that has always puzzled me is how common it is to advise people to spend decades playing defense in order to build wealth. Save more. Spend less. Diversify. Avoid risk. While all of these have their place, they often ignore a fundamental reality of life.

In a capitalist world, the default position is not wealth. The default position is poverty.
Left alone, money gets spent. Skills become outdated. Opportunities pass by. Inflation quietly erodes purchasing power. The fight for survival is really a fight against the natural tendency to decay.

Think about it. Nobody accidentally becomes financially independent. Nobody wakes up one morning to discover they have built a thriving business, accumulated meaningful investments, or developed valuable skills without years of deliberate effort. Wealth is an active process.

This is why I sometimes struggle with advice that focuses almost entirely on defense. Defense is important, but defense alone rarely wins the game. A football team that never attempts to score may avoid mistakes, but it will never win trophies.

To build wealth, you must play some offense.
You must learn new skills. You must take calculated risks. You must start businesses, invest in productive assets, pursue promotions, switch careers if need be, and sometimes place bets on yourself even when it seems to make no sense.

Of course, offense without defense is reckless. Many people earn a lot only to spend even more. Others take risks they do not understand and lose everything. This is where risk management becomes essential as we discussed earlier.

The goal is not to be reckless. The goal is not to be timid. The goal is to understand which game you are playing.
When you have little capital, the greatest risk may be failing to take any risk at all. When you have substantial capital, the greatest risk may be losing what you have already built.

The mistake many people make is applying the strategy of preservation before they have accumulated anything worth preserving.
Nature's default is scarcity. Prosperity is something that must be created, protected, and continuously renewed.
So save money. Spend less than you earn. Manage risk carefully.
But never forget seeking to be average is an invitation to economic disaster.

Sometimes the surest path away from poverty is not merely protecting what you have (for many the bag is empty afterall). It is having the courage to go out and create something new and valuable.

Nothing ventured nothing gained!

Before you save for the future, make sure you've eaten today.

Not every investment needs an account. Some belong in your health, your family, your friendships and your peace of mind.

A future worth reaching is one you don't have to sacrifice your entire present to build

Are internet (data) prices regulated in Uganda, or every service provider charges and sets speeds as they want? Many Ugandans rely on internet for doing business, but it seems they’re on their own. Telecoms are making crazy profit now that they’re a duopoly. Any government that cares about its people would either create an affordable alternative or regulate. Do not care about taxes alone, do something. It is too much!

1.There is no reward for being a good girl💔🥹
2.Have you noticed that when you're very loyal and faithful in a relationship,your reward is nothing but disappointment 🤔
3.Don't forget they can use you to wait for the right person 😩
4.Your true friends are your kids
5.Even on a free table,eat what you can afford.
6.Avoid the man that you love and accept the one that loves you
7.people will love and support you when it's beneficial.
8.Have an actual relationship with God not because you want something from Him but because you can't literally do this life without Him.

One of the telling things about our society at our functions is how we behave around food:

1. People loading more food on their plates than they can finish, and without feeling ashamed of the heaps on their plates
2. The fact that people have to be served, because they don’t know how to share limited resources
3. When given a chance for self service, people serving themselves without any regard to those behind them that might not get. Five pieces of chicken are left in the dish, and someone serves himself three of them (with 20 people behind him)
4. People eating more than they need, just because there is free food
5. People acting impatient as if they would die if they took 10 more minutes before their turn to serve (okulookalooka/ okululunkana)
6. Serving the second time (double) before others get anything, and pretending not to have eaten at all
7. Packing food to take home when some people present haven’t got
8. Catering service providers hiding food.

While these habits might seem isolated and only related to food, they ALL vividly manifest themselves when we are in charge of any resources that have to be shared. Think about it. Our biggest problems as a country are around GREED, SELFISHNESS, DISHONESTY, and lack of a sense of SHAME
