Embrace bravery, overcome obstacles. While at it, pause before ascending the hill and ask yourself: What makes that hill yours?

*UMEME Buyback: Why Are We Rushing to the Bankers’ Table When Ugandans Are Holding the Chequebook?* *********************** The government wants to re-acquire UMEME. Price tag: UGX 700 billion. Financing plan? A loan from a commercial bank. But wait—just days ago, Ugandans lined up to lend over *UGX 1 trillion* to the state in a treasury bond auction. Oversubscribed. *Voluntarily*. *So why bypass the people?* Commercial bank loans are like payday advances—short-term, high-interest, and unforgiving. Treasury bonds, on the other hand, are *patient capital*. Long tenors. Predictable rates. No midnight calls from the bank manager. When government borrows from a bank, entrepreneurs get squeezed. Credit dries up. Interest rates spike. The private sector chokes. But when government issues bonds, *the people get a stake in the state*. Pension funds, insurance firms, SACCOs, even the boda guy with a savings account—they all get a piece of the action. And let’s talk transparency. Bank loans are brokered behind curtains. Treasury bonds? Auctioned in public. Regulated by Bank of Uganda. Scrutinized by Parliament. No shadowy handshakes, no fine print in font size 5. Also, let’s not pretend forex risk is a footnote. That bank loan is in dollars. If the shilling sneezes, the repayment figure balloons. Bonds? Denominated in Uganda Shillings. Homegrown. Immune to Wall Street’s coughs. And here’s the kicker: every bond payment goes back to Ugandans. Interest becomes school fees, capital, rent, lunch money. It circulates within. That’s economic patriotism. So why feed a single bank when the whole country is ready to invest? The UMEME buyout isn’t just a transaction. It’s a test. Of vision. Of sovereignty. Of whether we believe in our people enough to let them *own the infrastructure they depend on*. Ugandans are not just consumers of electricity. They can be co-investors in the grid. Let me even drink more coffee.

These @GazellesUG ladies gave their all. Imagine we had such facilities! LUGOGO ARENA would be packed to the rafters. They truly disciplined the Egyptians in Egypt! SUMMA, hear me out! Even the lowest tier games in Uganda attract more fans than have attended this Zone V AfrobasketQualifiers in Egypt. We shall ask for more seats!

One of the worst aspects of the last 40 years, accelerated in the dark turn after 2016, the commencement of utter gutter unfiltered news on Bukedde (one has to actively avoid ALL Ugandan so-called blogs/vlogs and kidandali TikTokkers to ensure they have a semblance of sanity as they pursue dreams in tandem with the rest of other civilizations that are allowed to dream), is the unrelenting damage occasioned to the Ugandan psyche. A country that just seems to OFFICIALLY revel in its stagnation, shabby statecraft, an intentional disrespect for all sacred rituals of state (which would be forgivable if there was an attempt at a substitute to the same, but it is malevolence for malevolence's sake, like a playground bully, who just spits on a kid's piece of pancake, because they can) and constant regression in some areas. It is why many can accept national news to be dominated by deaths and reports of health outbreaks. Our Crude Death Rate is still amongst the lowest in Africa, but you wouldn't tell that from the mainstream news. Our newspapers compete with medical journals elsewhere, but in a terrorizing format. We are the best 3rd World WHO and Big Pharma colony. If you want chaos at our Health Ministry headquarters, suggest something to end the Malaria menace once and for all. The benefits of supplying mosquito nets every year, to those that get the contracts, far outweigh, in their warped minds, a wiping out of the scourge. I digress. The result is that many people are genuinely shocked when they visit Uganda to find pockets of happiness and an overall, albeit brow beaten, hopeful populace. This INTENTIONAL demoralization of UGANDANS serves a purpose. It is easy to control the doses of hope to a hopeless people, through a pig here, a duck there, an emaciated, sick goat somewhere. A dollop of mud to fix a pothole. A rotting electric pole to transfer electricity to a village, etc. We should, for the children and our sake, reject this normalization of a bastardized feudal Marxist peasant and murder enforced tyranny of a pretend civilization. We shouldn't fall into the 5 monkey experiment trap. We should constantly hammer it home that in 1951, Entebbe International Airport was the largest and best in Africa when it opened. That we once had the largest middle class in Eastern Africa. The best urban and regional roads. That street lighting was so common place, even Budaka had street lighting. That public libraries are normal. That the Uganda Transport Corporation provided organized, orderly public transportation. That a university graduate who has a job in the CBD, but stays in Bulenga shouldn't get to office wet and dusty, because he used a Boda to get to work instead of a bus, etc. That it is in our DNA to have clean, urban spaces and not sewage and garbage ridden streets.

Greetings from @RugyeyoFarmLtd. This is how the real coffee value is created in Uganda. The rest are simply freeloading on our farmer backs. A word of caution to those planning on this journey. Since the removal of the regulator with nothing in place to take over, nursery operators have taken advantage of the vacuum to sell anything & everything without fear of consequences. Unscrupulous people have also joined in to rip off unsuspecting buyers. Please be cautious if you plan to buy planting material. SEEK TECHNICAL ADVICE otherwise you will only discover your disaster after 5 years. By then it will be too late. Even if you have nothing to do with coffee, spread the word. You may help someone avert this problem. You can reach out to me here & I will do my best to help.
