Unpopular opinion: Google is lowkey doing Uganda dirty 😭
Hey @Google@googlemaps@googleafrica, I know the chances of this reaching you are pretty scarce but, am just a guy optimistic and trying His luck, I realize the street view of almost all Uganda is quite outdated.... since 2015💀
Obama was still president. Rihanna hadn't ghosted music yet. Drake and Meek Mill were still beefing. I was 16 years old.
Tourists and investors researching Uganda online are seeing a ghost of what we used to be — not what we are.
That's actually a problem. A real one.
I'm Ronald. 25. Ugandan. 5 years Photo and Videography experience. 8 years working in tech, even though I wasn't able to go for higher Computer classes, I have adequate computer knowledge up my sleeves. I know these streets. I know this city.
@Google — I'm not just posting into the void. I'm genuinely offering to help fix this. Uganda deserves to be seen as it is TODAY. 📸🇺🇬
Who do I talk to? 👀

A MUST READ
SOUTH AFRICAN VISAS / TRADE
Thank you guys for sharing my post yesterday, it went to the highest office in South Africa. Got many phone calls!
MODJADJI MAHLANGU returned last evening from South Africa and went to office at 3am today morning to start working on peoples applications.
MODJADJI MAHLANGU last issued a visa on 25th of March 2026 yet Ugandan apply for visas daily. Paying for accommodations, tickets and visa fees that is never refunded.
SHE HAD LOCKED PEOPLES PASSPORTS IN HER OFFICE.
That money is earned by South African businesses hence their economy becomes bigger. The visa money is what keeps these foreign embassies operating here if you don’t know.
BUT THATS NOT A LASTING SOLUTION.
South Africa has more than 78 businesses in Uganda taking away about 1bn dollars annually from our already struggling economy.
The last I read Uganda only earned about usd 48m( DO YOU GUYS GET THE COMMON SENSE?) from South Africa. We earn less than 5% of what they earn from us.
HOW?
Their business people wake up in the morning and decide they are heading to Uganda for business and get a visa from the airport on arrival.
They on the other hand block Ugandan business people from accessing opportunities in South Africa, claiming Ugandan won’t leave their country.
The amount of money earned by the few Ugandans in South Africa can’t be compared to the amount of money South Africa earns from Uganda.
If the one billion dollars taken out of our economy annually stayed in Uganda, those few Ugandans there would have opportunities here.
The alternative is make it easy for our business people to access opportunities in South Africa so we also earn there and bring opportunities back to Uganda.
The 1bn dollars taken or earned here by South Africans strengthens their job market, cripples our job market as Uganda reason a small number want to remain in South Africa.
They simply following the opportunities that have left Uganda for South Africa through the 1bn dollars annually? Are we together?
The internal challenge for common citizens like me and you reading is that ‘ our leaders have green and red passports’ they care less and don’t know the above economics( both opposition and government leaders have those passports).
This week or this month, Uganda borrowed usd 450m from world bank and that will be earned by South African countries and Ugandans will be paying the loans.
The South African owned banks here will keep the money, they telcos will earn bit of it, insurance will also want, South African contractors etc.
Business interests for countries and individuals are fought for, you don’t sit back and think the world wishes you well, you will be silly to think so.
The above thought should apply to all other embassies!
Enough said!
Happy 44th Birthday, my leader, my mentor, and my friend, President @HEBobiwine. You have stood firm in the face of intimidation, choosing sacrifice over comfort, and country over self. #BobiWineAt44
This is how our senior party leaders have marked the president’s 44th birthday at our revolutionary headquarters in Makerere Kavule. To commemorate President @HEBobiwine’s birthday, some comrades who graced the event have contributed to the cause of securing the freedom of political prisoners!
#BobiWineAt44
Some supporters and foot-soldiers reached out to us, and mentioned that they decided to commemorate our President’s 44th birthday by making a contribution to aid political prisoners. They also brought cake baked with the colours of the Uganda flag!
We thank them for their steadfastness even during difficult times.
Happy Birthday @HEBobiwine I know 'celebrating' feels impossible right now, but please know we are marking the day you entered this world with so much pride. You are more than the walls closing in or the people chasing you. You are loved, you are brave. Stay safe, stay smart.
🥳 #BobiWineAt44 😊
Good morning, @HEBobiwine. It’s your birthday!
Wherever you are, my brother,
may the God who sees every hidden place
remember the love you have poured into your people.
May He gather every tear you have shed for your country
and turn them into seeds of hope yet to bloom.
May the One who calls shepherds and servants
strengthen the heart that has carried #Uganda in its hands.
May His light travel with you through every shadow,
and may His peace rest on you like morning dew.
Where your feet cannot go,
may His angels go before you.
Where your voice cannot reach,
may His Spirit speak comfort and courage.
Where your body must hide,
may your love for your people remain unbound.
On this birthday,
may God breathe renewal into your spirit,
wrap you in His protection,
and remind you that no darkness can swallow a life rooted in love.
You are held, remembered, and lifted before God.
May grace follow you all your days.
#Tujune 🙏🏽
Wherever you're Mr President @HEBobiwine ,we are with you, you're never alone. The people of Uganda are behind you. We shall overcome someday 🙏

We thank @Europarl_EN for speaking out on Uganda’s political crisis and calling for accountability over human rights abuses.
