Devastating. May God strengthen the grieving families of these little angels whose lives were cut short senselessly.
This tragedy is not a mere accident - it is a direct consequence of systemic policy failure. Of institutional neglect that has turned many roads into deathtraps! May their gentle souls rest in peace🙏🏽
NTV strikes again!
They've just served up a six-minute feature on Muhoozi Kainerugaba's "achievements" as CDF over the last two years of his reign.
Witty. Brutal. Nuanced. Smirky.
Watch it. Laugh. Cry. Do both at the same time. 😂
Actually, she wasn't attempting to sabotage anything or strategically choose relevance. I saw the podcast where she was directly asked that question and answered truthfully. If she had been seeking relevance, I believe she would have made her move much earlier.
Unless Keko is just jealous of what Sheebah turned out to be of late, what else may have forced her to come out and spit out their secrets. Keko is that one ex that failed to move on, maybe Sheebah saw no future in what they were doing and decided to move on with a man. Sheebah is right now happy with her new man who they even have a health baby together while Keko is struggling with addiction. Keko needs to understand that she is a woman not a man.

@OIuwatosin I'm glad I haven't started watching it yet, as it will be perfect for a binge-watch, especially since I'm a big fan of mysteries like this.
This was a gem. I remember we shot this from Swangz Avenue studios in Muyenga. Working with these three legends was such prestigious moment. They were fun on set too! 😄 R.I.P DJ Alex Ndawula and Bbaale Francis🙏🏼
