Stop misleading young people based on your bad experiences 🙏
This whole narrative of I hear “School is Trash, focus on skills & not qualifications bla bla bla”. That’s some b*llsh*t.
The streets are also not as easy as we make them seem/look.
Let the children acquire good education (if they have an opportunity to do so).
There’s a huge difference between someone that’s learned to a certain level & an early dropout.. Character, IQ, etiquette, decision making, communication etc👌🏻👌🏿
"Chairman, a country without reserves is not sovereign. The potential of this Bill to destabilize Uganda’s balance of payments is our primary concern as a central bank. For example, last financial year the overall balance of payment surplus was USD 1.5 billion. That’s how we were able to increase our reserve coverage by USD 1.5 billion. Today as we speak our reserves are close to USD 6 billion. Why? Because these inflows have been coming in. The moment you tamper with these inflows here, we risk running down our reserves, and that is economic disaster for a country.” Governor Atingi-Ego on the Protection of Sovereignty Bill 2026 in an appearance before Parliament today.
The Governor of BOU warned us about the consequences of the sovereignty bill.
Now the shilling has dropped significantly that 1 USD is now at 4,020 Ugx.
The day I decided to close my shop, I felt like I had lost a big part of myself. I felt defeated, because the Mwiza I know doesn’t give up easily.
But a part of me had already died before that. It started when URA held my goods for four months. I felt utterly helpless. Eventually, I stopped going to the shop. I could go months without stepping inside.
Now, the physical shop is gone, and it still hurts. But I sleep better at night knowing I no longer have to deal with URA holding the only capital I have for months. 🙌🏾
