Unmarried millennials are suddenly naked, the man who'd been sheltering every man, every inquisition, every side eye, every, where's the wife?, when are you getting married? the curtain,the cover men conveniently pulled over their heads, he probably wasn't even aware but King Oyo was the refuge the rest of us unmarried, child free men would conviniently place forward, if a man that powerful, with all resources & maidens available to him was still unsullied, who were we mere wanainchi?
His life used by us, unmarried &child free, his death about to be used as a counter attack by our parents, the demand for offspring, grandkids is going to get incessant.
A king, whose life and death came with purpose, not just for his people but the whole nation, may he rest in peace.
You aren’t poor. Your country is poor.
Just look at the math behind two events from yesterday:
🇺🇸 Andrew Wilson paid Candace Owens $300,000 for a single studio debate.
🇺🇬 King Saha packed out Kololo. But to gross that same $300k, he needed to sell 55,000 tickets at 20,000 UGX.
The conclusion is simple: It takes an insane amount of energy to make the exact same money in a developing economy.
Be blessed.
A lot of women have cheated the corporate scene with English of the nose they say a lot of things but if you listen keenly they’re saying nothing. Caroline Mutoko is another one who has mastered this art,now explain to me like I am Oscar Sudi what is this lady saying here?
Don’t be so quick to judge a man simply because he doesn’t know what you know, or think the way you think. Remember, there was a time when you didn’t know what you know today. -Malcolm X
Sodo meant to say:
This family you criticise so unfairly found Uganda's economy trailing Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda. Today, we are proudly number one in East Africa.
We found a country where political kidnaps and torture were commonplace at the Nile Mansion basement. Today, such things are unheard of.
We inherited a state riddled with corruption and nepotism. Now every Ugandan knows that jobs and contracts are awarded purely on merit, without knowing anyone.
We found a broken public service. Today, who doesn't enjoy world-class healthcare, comprehensive medical insurance and efficient service in government hospitals?
We found affordable government schools across the country, forcing parents to choose from quality education almost everywhere. We solved that problem by concentrating excellence in expensive private schools. Now everyone knows exactly where to look - and exactly how much it will cost.
We inherited a country where politicians fled into exile for fear of persecution. Today, name just ten government critics who have sought refuge abroad.
We found Ugandans leaving the country in search of political asylum and economic opportunities. Today, our diplomacy has opened lucrative markets in the Arab world for our farmers, rather than exporting labour.
Did we inherit an independent judiciary? Look at what we have today. Doesn't everyone feel that justice is delivered equally, regardless of political influence, wealth or status?
And the infrastructure? We inherited potholes and murram roads. Today, just look around you. The transformation speaks for itself.
Remember when Kenyans used to joke that Ugandan towns and roads were nothing but dirt-brown? Look at us now. Which roads are they talking about?
And don't even get me started on garbage. We left the days of overflowing rubbish heaps and filthy streets behind long ago. Our cities are now so clean they could pass for museum exhibits.
'16 cows for what?' Museveni warns costly bride price putting marriage out of reach
President says parents should work for their wealth and stop 'selling' their daughters through bride price. https://t.co/FP6XCZT0sq
Stop building startups in third world countries. We do not have the disposable income to pay for tech subscriptions monthly. Built traditional businesses like the indians do. there is a reason why indians are the most successful businessmen in east africa, and u never find them building silly apps and websites
Story #43:
Emmanuel Mayanja aka AK-47. A gifted musician, the youngest of the Mayanja brothers, and rising star destined for greater heights. But in 2015, while partying with friends in Kansanga, death robbed Uganda of one of its brightest stars. This is the Story.
A THREAD 🧵
Jenifer Bamuturaki nearly run down Uganda Airlines to the fact that she never explained the ticket fraud that accounted for Shs 140 billion, the ticket price manipulation by staff and travel agents that cost us Shs 170 billion and she is free as authorities continue to grill AAA!! Selective justice.
Dr. Ian Clarke took no prisoners:
"While it is good that Ugandans have their own identity, it is not good that they think they are a special case and that finding loopholes and gaming the system is normal, or that internationally accepted standards don’t apply to Uganda.
This behaviour becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy in which Uganda is taken as a special case, but ‘special’ is applied in the way we would refer to a child with an intellectual disability. It is not a compliment, and Kampala is falling further and further behind its neighbours such as Nairobi, Kigali and Dar es Salaam because we accept this behaviour as normal."
