That stuff that MK does is really not normal stuff. The things he says are not normal things. The man does what he wants, says what he wants & always gets away with it. It’s painfully sad.
In another world where the rule of law works, nothing of this sort would happen. In fact, in such a world, MK would be behind bars for several crimes committed against Ugandans & Humanity in general.
A man who takes pride in torturing other human beings & is unapologetic about it is a man who has no soul & should not exist with other human beings. Such a man is unmoved by all the innocent blood that’s been shed, unfazed by the needless tears that have been shed, and unbothered by the countless lives that have been ruined and/or lost at his behest.
One day that impunity shall come to an end. One day the hunter shall become the hunted and Ugandans will demand and get accountability for all these horrible things they are being put through.
The time will come when the chickens come home to roost. I hope and pray the Universe grants you and I long life because that day will come. And even if you and I aren’t here, someone else will. They shall celebrate the end of one of the worst dynasties this world has ever seen.
Can you imagine this level of abuse of office? It now turns out that Anita Among spent 532 million shillings of our tax payers' money to fence and purchase compound lights for her private home in Bukedea District! (For context, Bukedea is one of the poorest districts in Uganda.)
It also turns out that Anita Among and her deputy Tayebwa spent another 591 million shillings to purchase two generators for their private homes!
Very sadly, while this plunder was going on, the leaders we sent to check and stop it were bribed into silence and joined the looters!
This madness will only come to an end when WE THE PEOPLE rise to the occasion and put an end to the Museveni dictatorship!
This is exactly what I have been trying to tell you people. You have to live in this country knowing what it actually is. A dysfunctional country where almost everything is broken. Stop watching shows set in functional countries and deciding to take up the lifestyle of someone in Stockholm.
Please, do not start jogging on the Northern Bypass at 5AM because the woman in the Netflix series jogs at 5AM. Her country has lights, working police response, ambulances that arrive, and sections designed for human beings. Yours has potholes, darkness, and a government that will not miss you when you die.
In a dysfunctional country, security is not guaranteed and nobody will be held responsible for your death, even when keeping you alive was technically their job. So you have to build your own systems. You have to become your own safety plan. Move through life like the country is quietly working against you, because in many practical ways, it is.
Do not drive at 180 km/h, please. Not on the rotten roads, for obvious reasons, and not on the few decent ones either, because the moment something goes wrong, your odds of surviving are slim. The hospital without drugs is far, the ambulance does not have fuel and wait, even the doctors are on strike! Drive like the next vehicle on the road is a mad man under the influence, because honestly, more often than you think, it actually is.
Avoid getting sick. Sleep under a mosquito net. Take only boiled water. Wash your hands often. Take vitamins if you can afford them. You want to ask me why? Well, in this country, even a small illness can take you out because the health system is held together by prayers and a few overworked intern doctors and nurses. Please, do not gamble with your body.
When you go to party at night, leave with enough money for an Uber back home. Or just do not stay out too late too often. The streets after midnight in this city are not the streets you knew at noon. They belong to other people now and they are not too friendly.
When you have children, have a number you can realistically protect and provide for, even on your worst day. The argument of “I can afford” works perfectly in a country with safety nets. In ours, your ability to afford can vanish in a single week, with a single illness, a single political shift, a single bad season. It is not up to you but we seem to forget that many times.
Cheat the curse of this country. Do not give it easy openings. Live like you know exactly where you live. Live like the country has issued no promises and is keeping none. This is the wisdom you will need to survive an extra day.
It is genuinely sad that we keep losing young people like this. So much potential, so much warmth, gone because the basic conditions of a normal life are not available here. My condolences to you and to your friend’s family.
May the rest of us learn from this, painful as it is to admit that learning from death is now part of how we survive.
Instead of watching an hour of Netflix, watch this 2 hour hour Stanford lecture will teach you more about how LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude are built than most people working at top AI companies learn in their entire careers.
Applying for visa is so humiliating mahn. It’s giving “white man please let me into your country, I promise to be of good behaviour and I’ll leave when I said I’ll leave. Here’s all my life’s worth and evidence that I have something doing. Pls just let me in”. So embarrassing.

Ugandans, while you were away, Kenyans watched our electoral process and said, “No, no… you are the ones who should be using the Ethiopian calendar, because you’re clearly living in the past”
