🚨 Manchester United confirm they have secured the majority of the land required to build a new 100,000-seater stadium.

The club acquired the 25-acre site located approximately 350m north-west of Old Trafford from Indurent.

He's not wrong. But also this is the problem with being poor. Guys will never stop advising you.

Happy birthday to A LEGEND!

Unknown Facts: Kisiga plays the piano. In fact, during college, he was our class choir’s pianist for the first two years, but he realized he preferred dangerous pursuits to being a church boy, so he chose rugby and left the piano for some random.

Mbu Civil Engineers are rich people. 🤦🏿.

First it was Ten Hag hounded out for not having a system/style of play and adapting too much to the players.

Now Amorim doesn’t adapt and is deemed as ‘too stubborn’

Please guys, open your eyes to the issue here.

Isimba Dam Is Not Just Cracking. The System Is.
=========

We spent 2.3 trillion Uganda shillings on Isimba Dam. A whole dam. Not a goat shed. Not a pit latrine. A dam, with concrete, turbines, embankments, and dreams of energy security. But five years later, it’s cracking. Cracking so badly, they’re talking of shutting it down. Irreparable, they say. What’s more irreparable is the damage to our national confidence.

And no, don’t blame Ugandan engineers. We’ve built towers, bridges, and tunnels across Africa and beyond. The real fault line here isn’t in the structure. It’s in the structure of governance.

This failure has politics written all over it. From inflated contracts to poor supervision, from rushed timelines to sidelined professionals, this is what happens when kickbacks trump knowledge. When technical decisions are made in hotel lobbies instead of boardrooms. When political appointees confuse PowerPoint presentations with power generation.

Isimba Dam is not a technical collapse. It is a case study in functional illegitimacy, a regime style that replaces competence with connections, merit with mediocrity, and vision with vultures.

And, I’m restraining my honesty tone here. How many times have engineers been ignored, overruled, or sidelined? How often do procurement teams select contractors not based on track record, but tribe, ties, or the thickness of the brown envelope? We hear that the blue letters go for 100 million Ugandan shillings. We’ve normalized dysfunction. Now we’re exporting it to our dams.

And yet, this was our dam. Our money. Our river. Our future.

Now, instead of electricity, we’ll generate excuses. Instead of accountability, we’ll hear spin. They’ll tell us it’s a “natural defect”. Or “unforeseen geological movements”. But what moved wasn’t the earth. It was integrity.

To every young Ugandan engineer watching this, don’t be disillusioned. Be determined. The dam may crack, but you must not. Keep designing. Keep building. But more importantly, start demanding. Demand systems that respect your expertise. Demand institutions that don’t treat engineers like errand boys.

Because if we don’t fix our politics, no dam, no matter how well engineered, will hold.

The next flood won’t come from the Nile. It will come from the rage of a generation tired of being robbed by the very people they elect to protect their future.

[Kuteesa Tumwiine🇺🇬 @de_enginiya]

Hardwork is not enough anymore. I saw a video of Anthony Mackie explain how our generation has been lied to that hardwork will take you places - to be fair it does.

However, he said that what most people won’t tell you is that in addition to their hardwork, there was that one person who gave them the benefit out doubt - a chance to prove their worth when everyone else didn’t.

You have no idea how true this is. Every successful person out there has this person.

On behalf of @LycansFootball , we would like to introduce Educate An Orphan (EAO). A charity organization whose sole purpose is to sponsor education for children from families that may not be able to afford it.

I had a really bad accident and almost died by falling down a waterfall on the River Nile and landing straight onto the rocks.

Unfit to fly home, stuck in Uganda, left for dead 💀

Dr Jamela saved my life. She was one of the very few Ugandan orthopaedic surgeons that just happened to be in the area the day of my accident.

Whilst in hospital for 10 days, I saw the drastic needs. No space and not a single orthopaedic surgeon on site 💔

This is what prompted the construction of this new 64 bed hospital ward which is filled with new doctors, nurses and resident surgeons 🥲

Guess who the surgeons are reporting directly to? Dr Jamela.

So many people said it wouldn’t be possible, the government wouldn’t allow me to build it, it would take years to build, it would cost billions to build ⛔️

These doubters didn’t realise that I am not just a billionaire in Uganda, but also a competent property developer. It took 7 months and cost just over 1 billion shillings only (£300,000 with all costs and exchange rate)

This is the same cost as buying a Lamborghini. Kind of sickening. Nothing wrong with driving one, but perhaps consider building a hospital ward first? 🤷‍♂️

I am a huge advocate for making money, but only when you remember the dark places you came from and use your money to help others, as well as living a nice life of course.

God put me in that pit for a reason, and what the enemy meant for evil, God meant for good 🙏🏻

I am returning home tomorrow, but will never forget this week. A legacy that will live on for centurys 💕
