...The Nebbi community is deeply saddened by the passing of Ben Bidong Bosco, brother to @Codongtho .

Ben was a truly remarkable individual -humble, kind, and deeply respectful of all, regardless of status. He embodied the very best of humanity, a rare soul whose character and warmth touched many lives. His loss is not only felt by those who knew him personally, but by the wider community that benefited from his presence.

Ben also served as Chairman of the Nebbi Makerere Students Association (@OfficialNEMSA ), a role I too had the honor of holding during my days at @Makerere. It is a shared legacy I carry with great pride, and one he upheld with distinction and grace.

My heartfelt condolences go out to his family during this difficult time, and especially to his brother, Charles. May you find strength and comfort in the legacy of a life so well lived.

Rest in perfect peace, Ben. You will be greatly missed.

Murchison Falls National Park is always amazing. Just be careful around the paraa northern bank rest hut especially those who use them for stopovers and picnics.

Josh Ocaya has just signed his professional contract with @HullCity . UK citizen with Ugandan roots. Big moment. Bigger trajectory.

Uganda Cranes, Uganda Hippos. As you plan your future squads -keep this name on the radar.
Why?

At 18, Ocaya already has receipts: a hat-trick for the U-18s in a 6–1 demolition of Sheffield Wednesday at Bishop Burton College, seven goals across U-18s and U-21s this season, and 14 starts at U-21 level. Former Charlton Athletic midfielder. Comfortable stepping up. Knows where the net lives.
Talent doesn’t always knock loudly. Sometimes it signs contracts quietly. Eyes open.

@Bssebaggala1 @AFP Nedda ssebo. As a cricket player, I know it's not staged

In eastern Uganda’s Jinja district, groups of older women have embraced cricket as a way to stay active and socially connected.

Referred to locally as “cricket grannies”, they take part in informal games and training that combine light exercise with elements of the sport
