@pushpendrakum Only if you have something to hide coz if one wants to get intouch with you, they can still reach out to you on another social media that shows names....and if they need to talk to you, they can ask for your number aswell and you will either share it or not, same with usernames
@3four3 Strategic man, he knows when the ball is about to reach him, he doesnt struggle for it at all and he knows how to use the ball when it lands on him. Sharp sharp high IQ guy.
@fsnakazibwe@VUKampala There's always something about power and political positions, someone can have all the money in the world and still feel the desire to hold a position in government....its addictive, its harsh, its tempting but it is what it is.
When Ebola arrived in October 2000, he did what he always did. He showed up.
He was in Kampala finishing a Master's in Public Health when Lacor Hospital called. Three nursing students had died of a mysterious illness. He returned the same day. By the next morning, he had reviewed every unusual case in the past two weeks, identified seventeen with similar symptoms, and concluded, before any official test, that this was a viral haemorrhagic fever, probably Ebola. He bypassed every bureaucratic protocol that would have wasted days. He picked up the phone, called Kampala directly, and spoke to Dr. Sam Okware, the Commissioner of Community Health Services. That phone call, made days before government would have otherwise known, is what foreign epidemiologists later credited with saving hundreds, possibly thousands of Ugandan lives.
When the WHO team arrived, expecting the chaos and abandonment they had seen in Kikwit, DRC, five years earlier, they were stunned. Lukwiya had already organised volunteer nursing, surveillance, and burial teams, set up a fully functioning isolation ward operating to international standards, and arranged ambulance crews to bring patients from villages and collect bodies for safe burial. There was even a small wooden device for pulling off rubber boots, built exactly as the WHO manual specified, by a Lacor staff member who had read the manual the night before. The WHO and Médecins Sans Frontières teams redirected to Gulu Regional Referral Hospital instead, where they found corpses abandoned in beds.

Samantha Siyieyio Kipury is a Kenyan advertising executive who quit a lucrative job at 25 to start her own agency. She began with just one client, Nokia, and handled everything herself - from pitching to taxes; for the first 6 months. She also enrolled for an MBA to learn business management while building the company.
Her childhood shaped her drive. Her mother left for Canada on a scholarship when Samantha was 4, so she was raised by her father. She credits that period for giving her what she calls “masculine energy” and a no-excuses work ethic.
The business grew fast. She merged her firm with two others to form Dentsu Kenya, where she and partners Joel Rao and Chris Madison now share equal ownership. The parent company is based in South Africa. Under her leadership, Dentsu Kenya has handled major campaigns like Barclays to Absa rebrand, Safaricom’s ‘Bonga For Good’, Guinness ‘Made of Black’, the NIC-CBA to NCBA merger, ‘Malaria No More’, and Netflix’s viral ‘Free The Whole Storo’ ad.
Today, 39-year-old Samantha is Dentsu Kenya Group Head of Media and manages about 28 local and international corporate clients. She was named in Business Daily’s ‘Top 40 Under 40’ list in 2018. She’s now entering a new chapter - starting a family while still leading big moves in Kenya’s advertising industry. Mungu nibariki sasa …
@bigtrilkaiza@mtnug Its like how those @DStvUganda offers work, their promotions only target inconsistent customers, it has never made sense to me...why prefer people who leave your and fail to reward loyal customers. Bure kabisa
At least now Uganda has a Speaker in @ObothOboth whose command of English, confidence, and leadership have rejuvenated #Parliament. One can now confidently sit and watch plenary proceedings with admiration and respect for the decorum and authority he brings to the House. @Parliament_Ug feels refreshed, focused, and properly guided under his stewardship.
@Mghazake They say Monkeys and Bats carry the Ebola virus, it doesnt necessarily make those animals sick but they are carriers, Congolese eat monkeys alot so they get sick oftenly.
@gloriaolana That Ebola in Gulu made people literally drink Jik thinking it cleans the blood....misinformation and disinformation about Ebola transmission and spread was the worst thing back then.
We pray we overcome this new one aswell.
Arsenal are officially Premier League Champions. Ive waited 22 years to say that. Thank you Mikel Arteta. Unforgettable’s. What a journey it has been with each and every one of you. Champions of England. Easily one of the best days of my life. We did it ❤️
I work at a bridal consignment shop where we sell secondhand wedding dresses.
Last week, a young woman came in completely alone.
No friends. No mom. No champagne.
She found a dress she absolutely loved.
It was $400.
She quietly placed $200 on the counter and asked if she could put it on layaway because she was trying to save little by little after her fiancé recently lost his job.
I looked at the tag and remembered the original owner had been trying to sell that dress for months.
At one point she even told me:
“I honestly just want it out of my closet.”
So I pretended to check the computer and then said:
