The news of King Oyo passing hit me hard. My heart struggles to accept the finality of it all, and over the last few days, I have experienced great pain, marked by a continual and deep feeling of sadness.
Each day, since his promotion to glory, I have thought about his loved ones, especially his mother. I grieve for her, knowing she bears a loss no parent should endure. Losing a child, and a king, is an immeasurable sorrow.
King Oyo was more than just a monarch; he was a beacon of hope and kindness in a world that desperately needs both. He carried the weight of his crown with a humility that drew people close, never letting his royal status stand in the way of a genuine connection. In every encounter, his warmth and empathy shone through, touching hearts and reminding us of the power of gentle leadership. Those who met him were not just impressed; they were moved and comforted by the presence of a king who truly cared.
The finality of this loss, which has been characterised by many sleepless nights of wrestling with questions, emotions swirling in disbelief, anger, and profound sadness, feels like an unbearable weight. But amidst this darkness, one truth shines and brings the only comfort our aching hearts can find. The blessed assurance that King Oyo walked hand in hand with our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ (the King of kings). The crown he now wears is not of this world, but of eternal glory. He has traded his earthly throne for a seat in paradise.
Rest well, gentle soul. Until we meet again in a place without sorrow or tears, you will remain in our hearts.
Farewell, Your Majesty.
Psalm 116:15: Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

@livescore Arteta is a man with small brain in a big team /league. His success is because of the players and Arsenal. See how he defends after first goal that denied him championship and FA Trophies
@AKasingye It's very true and penetrates through the small things u love most, by making it a habit so that you normalise it. But God's grace is sufficient to redeem us. All we need to do is to trust and obey his commands
I have listened to Candidates of Secretary General over the years I have been at the UN, Ambassador Olara Otunnu's presentation last night was a masterpiece. We look forward to another interactive dialogue at the UN Security Council tomorrow. I thank @KagutaMuseveni for supporting his candidature, I and the entire team @UgandaMFA are committed to facilitating @OlaraOlara campaign.

The Supreme Court in Kampala has today resolved a land dispute involving 27.3 acres that has been in the justice system since 1990, after the parties agreed to share the disputed land through appellate mediation.
The mediation was conducted before Lady Justice Prof. Lillian Tibatemwa-Ekirikubinza (Justice of the Supreme Court), at the Supreme Court in Kampala.
The dispute dates back to 1990, when the parties began using traditional methods to resolve the matter. These efforts continued until 2015, when the matter was taken to the High Court in Kabale. It later proceeded on appeal to the Court of Appeal before reaching the Supreme Court.
At the Supreme Court, the dispute came before a mediator (Lady Justice Prof. Tibatemwa-Ekirikubinza) under Mediation Cause No. 4 of 2026, arising from Civil Appeal No. 23 of 2025.
During the mediation, the respondent agreed to retain 14 of the 27.3 acres in dispute, with the balance to be shared by the appellants bringing the long-running land dispute to an end.
The conclusion of this appeal also brings to an end three matters arising from the same dispute that were pending before the lower courts.
At the close of the mediation, Prof. Francis Bwengye (one of the lawyers in the matter), thanked Lady Justice Prof. Tibatemwa-Ekirikubinza, who mediated the matter, for listening to the parties and guiding them towards a mutually agreeable resolution without imposing a judgment.
Prof. Bwengye also commended her for the patience and guidance throughout the mediation process.
Notably in attendance was HW Alex Mushabe (Private Legal Secretary to the Chief Justice) who earlier on presided over the pre-mediation meeting
