@MGoodnessr There’s nothing unusual about it it’s human nature. At least they’ll call you for a housewarming celebration, then refuse gifts from the guests, and you end up wondering what the whole point was.
I envy people who don't update anything about their lives. Nothing about their jobs, business, dinner, children, family or even their pictures
How did you get this disciplined?🤔
Do y'all remember Gen. David Sejusa (Tinyefuza) the Former Coordinator of Intelligence Services - A historically feared military general who was highly vocal.
Where did he go?
@Sudhirntv Wabula ug olemwa , He usually goes by the book but when certain articles don’t favor him, they get amended in his favor, still through official procedures
Just saw someone on TikTok say her mum advised her not to open her own graduation gifts, she ignored the advice, and now she’s struggling to find jobs 😂
At some point we really need to examine how deeply superstition has shaped parts of African thinking.
Sometimes life is just life!!!the job space is unpredictable and competitive…not every setback is spiritual warfare, witchcraft or a curse triggered by opening presents.
This issue goes far beyond Andrew Mwenda!
Warning to Rwandans too!
What President Museveni just said, applies to anyone who is given access to internal government information! Whether they are journalists, analysts, or even officials.
You either uphold the principle that what happens in the room stays in the room, or you reject access to sensitive information altogether. There is no middle ground.
You cannot meet the President, sit in important meetings, or gain privileged briefings, only to later externalize those discussions on social media or in public.
That is not journalism or analysis! It is a serious breach of trust and basic indiscipline. Once that trust is broken, it is almost impossible to repair. This applies not only to the Commander-in-Chief but even to junior and senior intelligence officers. If you are privileged to be in the room with them and hear sensitive matters, your duty is to guard them.
Your reputation is far more valuable than any temporary attention or applause you gain by showing that you “know more” than others.
Rwandans, if you have ever met anyone in the picture above and discussed sensitive matters with them, keep that information confidential!
As Sun Tzu teaches in The Art of War, true strength lies in discipline, restraint, and strategic patience not in reckless displays of ego.
Trying to prove that you are more informed than everyone else is usually driven by ego, and ego has destroyed many promising careers and relationships.
1/6 Museveni’s sarcastic public letter thanking Andrew Mwenda for calling him "senile" isn't a sign of an ageing leader losing control. It is a well-designed game in authoritarian narrative engineering. Here is the real story beneath the surface.
2/6 This is not a conflict about policy or age. It is about hierarchy enforcement. In competitive systems, elite critics get a public intellectual spar. Ordinary youth making TikTok jokes get years in prison under the Computer Misuse Act. This dual-track strategy is highly calculated.
3/6 Why the difference? Elite critics stay within the boundaries of formal debate, acting as a pressure valve that signals fake pluralism. But mass digital ridicule from an unemployed youth bulge is an existential threat because it democratises dissent and bypasses state narrative control.
4/6 Information theory shows us that a single viral meme or a leaked photo of a leader dozing off does more structural damage to a personalised regime than a 5,000-word policy essay. It collapses the supreme mystique required to sustain a "Big Man" political structure.
5/6 Museveni has brilliantly changed the response to critiques of his 40-year rule. By countering the "senile" label with factory addresses, export statistics, and rhetoric about the "Bible, AK-47, and pen", he switches a critique of his physical frailty into high-signal propaganda for state-led industrialisation.
6/6 But what exactly is the core reality? After 40 years of personalised rule, the leader’s physical fitness is the single point of failure for the entire system. Sophisticated insider critique is useful theatre to project vigour, but mass laughter from below, especially by Bazukulu on TikTok, cannot be tolerated.
