From what I’ve seen at the club, and As a concerned future parent, I’ve decided that all my daughters will be commuting from home while going to university.

This is unacceptable.

Even us, we were not spoilt to even half or a quarter of this level when we were still at uni 🙌

A student at NW Missouri State recently asked me: "Why is my 'queer' behavior considered wrong?" Culture tells us that morality is based on feelings, but true love requires truth. Here’s how I answered her live on campus 👇

@MunyagwaMubarak, let's set the record straight.
Dr Besigye told us how shocked he was to see you. Nobody was being allowed to visit him. When he asked how you got in, you said you emailed Saleh, and Saleh told Prisons to let you in. You were not a bona fide visitor. You were an emissary of Saleh.

I don't remember you in the Reform Agenda. I first saw you in Walk to Work in 2011, and I was a leader in it. Yet you say I haven't returned to Uganda since the early 2000s. So laughable. Let me update you that I was in Kampala last month. I have visited Dr Besigye in jail - twice.

Don’t bring my election defeats into focus to try and discredit me in a country where defeated politicians are the ones holding that shambolic government accountable. I am almost proud of losing and so should you since your Lusaniya party did so badly!

Living abroad does not disenfranchise me. Ugandans are crying out for diaspora remittances as your shilling loses value. Please respect us.

Stop pretending to know me. You don't.

For non-Luganda speakers I will post a script of the video below so you can follow…👇🏽

The Nazi guards never heard the baby crying inside her toolbox. If they had, 2,500 children would have died.

In 1942, a 32-year-old Polish social worker named Irena Sendler walked into the Warsaw Ghetto carrying a simple toolbox. She had a permit to check for typhus outbreaks. The guards waved her through. Hidden beneath the wrenches and rags was a six-month-old baby. She walked past armed soldiers and handed the child to a Polish family waiting outside the walls. The next morning she walked back in and did it again.

For three years Irena smuggled approximately 2,500 Jewish children out of the Warsaw Ghetto. She hid infants in toolboxes, sedated children and smuggled them in coffins, concealed them in ambulances under stretchers, and used sewer pipes. Every child received a new Polish name. Irena recorded everything—real names, new names, locations—on tissue paper sealed in glass jars and buried in a friend’s garden.

By October 1943 the Gestapo caught her. They tortured her, broke both her legs and both her feet, and beat her unconscious. She gave them nothing. After months they sentenced her to death. The night before her execution, the underground bribed a guard. He led her out and recorded her as “executed.”

She went immediately back to work and continued until the war ended. When the war ended she dug up the jars and spent months trying to reunite children with families. Most parents had died in the camps.

For decades almost no one knew about her. Then in 1999 four teenage girls in Kansas found a brief mention of a woman who had saved 2,500 children. They researched and wrote a play. At age 89 Irena Sendler became famous. She was honored by Pope John Paul II and nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. She died in 2008 at age 98.

One estimate suggests those 2,500 rescued children produced approximately 6,000 descendants. She was a social worker with a permit and a toolbox. She walked into hell every day for three years and walked out carrying children. The Nazis broke her legs. They couldn’t break her will.

Hon Balam is shocked that a generator installed in 1971 before M7’s government came to power is still working, yet the new ones can’t even do the job! 😂 No wonder they’re yellow. I hope he caught the message and connected the dots!

[Ivan M @ivan_taiga_2]

I once asked an employee why he always arrived late.

He said the traffic in Kampala was becoming unbearable.

I asked him what time he left home.

He said 8:15 AM.

His office opens at 8:00 AM.

At this point, even the traffic is being blamed for personal decisions. 😂

A Mutooro man will post his side chick with a caption, “Happy birthday Amooti”. You might actually think she’s a relative or someone close to him.

Tik Tok has about 12M users in Uganda and X has only about 1.1M.

If you really expect influencers feom these two digital platforms to be earning the same or anything close, you're the problem. 🙌

Some men are so uncultured!
How can you expose your own wife for cheating?
Just pray and fast for her, and rebuke the devil that wants to destroy your marriage! 😂😒

According to media reports, BOU has raised the CBR from 9.75% to 12%. This means that the commercial banks or SACCOs lending rates will be raised higher may be to more than 30% interest rate on loans. Bashamwe, tighten your pockets. Spend on very important things like electricity, water, transport, food, and avoid wasteful expenditure like alcohol, clubbing, etc. Eat home cooked food please.

[N¡ghtm¡nd @N1ghtmnd]

@Cr7Godbrand I think you're forgetting the part where women weren't allowed education when a lot of the things you listed came to be. They couldn't even open their own bank account until the 70s. Also, comparing humans to non-self-aware animals is non-equivalent.

I was in Namulesa, Jinja, this morning, and something caught my eye. A church and a mosque share the same compound. Out of curiosity, I asked how it happened and was told that the landowner, who is Muslim, freely gave land to both denominations.

Uganda’s former Prime Minister Prof. Apollo Nsibambi left behind a controversial succession decision when he named his eldest daughter, Rhoda Nakimuli Kasujja, as his heir, challenging traditional Buganda customs that generally favoured male successors.

Nsibambi, who served as Prime Minister from April 1999 to May 2011, died at his home in Bulange, Rubaga Division, Kampala, on May 28, 2019, aged 78, after battling cancer for nearly a decade. His widow, Esther, said he died peacefully and was able to speak shortly before his death. A post-mortem examination later identified pulmonary embolism, a blood clot in the lungs, as the immediate cause.

His decision to appoint his daughter as heir triggered debate within the Ffumbe clan, which traditionally favoured a male successor, such as a brother or nephew. While some clan leaders questioned the cultural validity of the will, the Church of Uganda defended the decision on biblical grounds. President Yoweri Museveni also backed Nsibambi, arguing that parents should be free to choose heirs they trust, regardless of gender.

Beyond the succession dispute, Nsibambi was remembered as a distinguished academic and public servant. He taught political science at Makerere University, directed the Makerere Institute of Social Research and served as the university’s chancellor from 2003 to 2007.

He also served as Minister of Public Service and Minister of Education and Sports before becoming Prime Minister. He was buried at his family home in Buloba, Wakiso District.

An uncle asked a young man why he was still single at 29.

The young man asked his uncle how many houses he owned.

The uncle got angry and said young people no longer respect elders.

Interesting.

Apparently, asking personal questions is wisdom, but asking personal questions back is disrespect.

[Sunita Sayammagaru 🇮🇳🇬🇧 @drsunita02]

Man, widower since 10 years, currently aged 61, has 2 adult children - one abroad and one in India, both married.

Recently he married a 55 year old woman, who doesn't have any children of her own.

Man distributed his property to both adult children before getting married. He just has his house and a little bit of his pension.

Yet, both his children are angry and upset at the marriage. What's more bewildering is even the adult kids' spouses and kids' in-laws are angry that he remarried. Kids' in-laws have gone to the extent of even scolding the man.

Man says "last 10 years I suffered alone. None of you kids or your spouses are taking care of me, and neither am I dependent on you guys. I have looked after myself, and also helped finish your education and got your guys married. It's time I sought happiness too."

I don't see anything wrong in what a man did. Sad that even in this day and age, with kids and their spouses and the kids' in-laws being educated too, one is still holding onto to these backward thoughts.

To Ugandan system and website developers, we need to have an honest conversation.

You can spend months building an app or SaaS to solve Uganda’s problems, only to realise that digital illiteracy is still a problem of its own. People may not understand your platform, trust it or even give it attention.

And sometimes, the solutions we build are better suited for markets where people already have the digital habits and purchasing power we assume Ugandans have.

One more thing: you cannot sustainably solve a country's financial problems when you're financially struggling yourself.

Build something that solves your own financial problem first. Get it working, earn from it, learn from the market, then use that experience to tackle bigger problems.

Uganda needs innovative developers, yes. But it also needs developers who understand the market they're building for.

We're not just building software. We're building businesses in a society that is still learning how to use, trust and pay for digital solutions.
