Inside West Nile

Again, please: You will NOT remember it. WRITE IT DOWN.

When I say that the government is crowding out the private sector with it's borrowing, please consider this: There is a whole class of people, driven by the likes of my friend @KakandeAlex, considering investing in government bonds over starting a business. The main argument: The risk return profile for the level of effort is much more attractive in government bonds over pretty much any other more active options... I have my views about the risk component of government bonds as you need to have some trust in the budgetary constraints of the current government. That being said, can you blame my dentist, lawyer or friend in the public sector to find this narrative attractive? What's the point of even starting a business if you can put your money to work at 16% per year passively? With this premise, everything trickles down. Why would banks lend to your SME. Lending to government gets them 16%. What's the point of your supplier giving you supplier financing if he can buy a Treasury Bill at 10%? Why would a foreign investment fund lend or invest at a level below the bonds (might as well buy bonds and chill in Zanzibar)? Fix your finances and you'll fix the base rate... PS: There are other issues at play like the high (and perhaps unjust) preceived risk of African countries and global shocks / rates. Ultimately however, if you improve fiscal discipline and your image globally (perceived risk), it should trickle down.... For now, let me go and buy a few bonds...

Not the real Wizkid account 😹

In 1963, the famous photographer Richard Avedon took a picture of a man named William Casby. William Casby, born in 1857, was 106 years old at the time. In his hands, he was holding his great-great-granddaughter, Cherri Stamps-McCray. The image amazes me because the elderly gentleman holding his descendant so tenderly, was born into slavery more than a century prior. Casby would eventually live until 1970, dying at the age of 113. His great- and great-grandchildren are alive today, and many of them remember him. It puts into perspective just how relatively recent slavery existed. Because as faraway and distant as it may feel now. Even in modern-day America, there are people who have active memories of talking to former slaves.

@Snuvio @GODFREY_Kutesa Y’all are too strict.

The other day I came back home and found my daughters watching this funny thing on pearl magic lousy these Kampala girls mbu simanyi baby what what, Gosh , i was damn furious and disconnected the DSTV instantly.

Which kind of role models are in a such a show. What are they promoting apart from showing off and faking tears!! Useless I put a standing order , only 4 channels must be watched. Discover Family, Pearl Magic- Soap called Honarablez NTV- 09pm Super sport only when Liverpool is playing. All the other shows are banned in my house!!

@maire19 @richardpbacon Nordic but not nice. 🤣

@richardpbacon Watching a man become head of state by being the eldest son while another man in a dress puts a gold hat on his head. I wouldn’t go either

He certainly would’ve made history. A president on bail attending the coronation.
