PARENTING FOR MEN However many books you read, inspiration talks you attend, parenting will still have a gambling element in it. But one thing for sure, spending time with them children rubs off certain aspects of you on them. Yesterday we planned to wake up at 5am today morning not because we needed to but I have always taught my sons that life is very inconveniencing some times if one wants to some level of success. One of the things a man must do is wake up early on many occasions, many times very inconveniencing time. Going against our desire of enjoying sleep. Lots of stuff happens at inconvenient times like flights. I practiced that with my first born son, he is now 20yrs and at university. He cooks for himself and plans his life daily and I can now see him practice some of things we taught him. Recently I asked him how he survives and he said, I spent averagely 200 pounds a month which isn’t much in UK. He plans his meals, travels around 200. Adds, I have enough until end of this academic year. He will work again and save for the next year. As early is age of 8, I didn’t need to wake him up, I would simply say 4am we are leaving and he will be up and ready by 4am, I wouldn’t be late for even a minute myself because they learn from what we do more than what we say. Wekesa and I were in Masindi by 8am and these are very special times, he only has me to focus on and I have him to focus on. Man to man talk. Gives us a chance to disagree, agree as well and discuss life.

A MUST READ SOUTH AFRICAN VISAS / TRADE Thank you guys for sharing my post yesterday, it went to the highest office in South Africa. Got many phone calls! MODJADJI MAHLANGU returned last evening from South Africa and went to office at 3am today morning to start working on peoples applications. MODJADJI MAHLANGU last issued a visa on 25th of March 2026 yet Ugandan apply for visas daily. Paying for accommodations, tickets and visa fees that is never refunded. SHE HAD LOCKED PEOPLES PASSPORTS IN HER OFFICE. That money is earned by South African businesses hence their economy becomes bigger. The visa money is what keeps these foreign embassies operating here if you don’t know. BUT THATS NOT A LASTING SOLUTION. South Africa has more than 78 businesses in Uganda taking away about 1bn dollars annually from our already struggling economy. The last I read Uganda only earned about usd 48m( DO YOU GUYS GET THE COMMON SENSE?) from South Africa. We earn less than 5% of what they earn from us. HOW? Their business people wake up in the morning and decide they are heading to Uganda for business and get a visa from the airport on arrival. They on the other hand block Ugandan business people from accessing opportunities in South Africa, claiming Ugandan won’t leave their country. The amount of money earned by the few Ugandans in South Africa can’t be compared to the amount of money South Africa earns from Uganda. If the one billion dollars taken out of our economy annually stayed in Uganda, those few Ugandans there would have opportunities here. The alternative is make it easy for our business people to access opportunities in South Africa so we also earn there and bring opportunities back to Uganda. The 1bn dollars taken or earned here by South Africans strengthens their job market, cripples our job market as Uganda reason a small number want to remain in South Africa. They simply following the opportunities that have left Uganda for South Africa through the 1bn dollars annually? Are we together? The internal challenge for common citizens like me and you reading is that ‘ our leaders have green and red passports’ they care less and don’t know the above economics( both opposition and government leaders have those passports). This week or this month, Uganda borrowed usd 450m from world bank and that will be earned by South African countries and Ugandans will be paying the loans. The South African owned banks here will keep the money, they telcos will earn bit of it, insurance will also want, South African contractors etc. Business interests for countries and individuals are fought for, you don’t sit back and think the world wishes you well, you will be silly to think so. The above thought should apply to all other embassies! Enough said!
