Look at these teams: Ivory Coast, China, and India. All of them are 100% native to the country they represent. Africans play for African nations. Chinese for China. Indians for India. They deliberately choose players who belong to their people. That is normal. That’s what a national team is supposed to be. It’s time for England to stop being weak. An English team should consist of English people — full stop.

Harry Maguire, who is English and Northern Irish… … has been demographically replaced in the England World Cup team by an African named ‘Addji Keaninkin Marc-Israel Guéh’ born in Ivory Coast. What’s the point in a ‘national’ football team if someone who is NOT from that nation can join? Maguire should play for England. Guéh should play for Ivory Coast. Common sense. I’m sure Maguire isn’t even allowed to contest this decision because, as his shirt says in the photo below, ‘no room for racism’.

After the president accepted the sovereignty bill, I expect govt to protect our sovereignty and pay attention to whatever foreigners are doing to undermine our economy. Ebola Bundibugyo is the first attack on our sovereignty. Why not Ebola Ituri? @wekesa_amos @ABuregyeya

@ApolloBuregyeya When you remove school fees, many people dont spend their money on industry but on other less important priorities. Graduated Tax is one such expense in our recent past.

SCHOOL FEES ARE NOT JUST A HOUSEHOLD BURDEN. THEY ARE AN ANTI-INDUSTRIAL TAX. ======= One of the biggest monsters in Africa’s living room is school fees. Not corruption alone. Not laziness. Not lack of prayers. School fees. The African child is born, and before they can pronounce “multiplication,” the parent has already entered a lifelong financial boxing match with bursars, uniforms, development fees, PTA fees, projects fees, computer fees, tour fees, and the famous “bring a ream of paper” fees. By the time this child grows, graduates at around 25 or 30, and begins to stabilize in work, they should be building wealth. They should be buying equipment, starting enterprises, investing, innovating, establishing industries, and becoming economically dangerous. But no. That is exactly when the school fees relay baton is handed to them. Now they must pay for nursery, primary, secondary, university, professional courses, and possibly their own master’s degree, so that the economy can continue pretending that certificates are development. So the African adult spends the most productive years of life, from 30 to 60, financing education instead of financing enterprise and partnering with age-mates to start industries. And the damage does not stop at the bank account. When family income is swallowed by school fees, feeding suffers. Healthcare suffers. Rest suffers. Parenting suffers. Confidence suffers. Nutrition quietly moves from balanced meals to “let us first survive this term.” This is where the matter becomes even more serious. A productive adult does not appear from nowhere. A productive adult was once a well-fed, well-nurtured, emotionally secure, and properly stimulated child. The worker who concentrates, innovates, leads, solves problems, builds companies, and carries a nation’s productivity was first a child whose body and brain were being built meal by meal, conversation by conversation, and care by care. Poor feeding in early childhood is therefore not a small family inconvenience. It is a national productivity loss in slow motion. It affects growth, brain development, immunity, learning ability, concentration, confidence, and adult energy. So when we see stunting, malnutrition, poor learning outcomes, low confidence, and weak productivity, we should not only blame parents. We should ask what kind of economy forces parents to choose between school fees and proper food. In many developed countries, quality public education gives families breathing space. Parents can use income to feed children well, expose them, mentor them, save, invest, and build businesses. Here, the African parent is working like a government subcontractor, privately financing the public promise that failed. That is why school fees are not just an education problem. They are a nutrition problem, a health problem, a productivity problem, an industrialization problem, and a national development problem. A country cannot industrialize when its most ambitious families are permanently fundraising for the next school term. Universal, high-quality public education is not charity. It is economic liberation. Because no nation becomes rich when parents spend their best years paying invoices instead of building industries. The Wisdom Degree: Why I Really Did a PhD by Dr. Apollo Buregyeya is a book about knowledge, wisdom, Africa, and the deeper purpose of education beyond certificates.

Elly Karuhanga,@EllyKaruhanga·
Your Excellency President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, As you prepare to take the oath once again on the 12th of May 2026, I extend to you my warm congratulations and sincere best wishes. For me, this occasion is deeply personal and reflective. I have had the privilege of knowing you from our younger days and of walking with you through different chapters of Uganda’s journey, from the early days of UPM, through the formative years of NRM, in Parliament, and later in the Constituent Assembly that gave Uganda the 1995 Constitution. With time, history becomes memory, and memory teaches humility. Over the years, I have watched you engage presidents and peasants, diplomats and ordinary wananchi with the same simplicity and ease. One of your most remarkable qualities has been your ability to remain approachable, patient, forgiving, and attentive to people despite the enormous weight of office and responsibility. Many leaders become distant because of power. You somehow remained connected to people. There are certain moments that remain deeply engraved in memory because they reveal the true character of a person beyond public office and politics. I remember one particular evening when you returned from Cairo late at night. Many people would naturally have gone home to rest after such a long journey. Instead, you drove straight to Ntinda to visit an elderly lady in her nineties who was bedridden and nearing the end of her life. You sat with her in her home for several hours, speaking gently, listening patiently, comforting her and her family before she eventually passed on not long thereafter. That moment stayed with me. I remember another occasion when I accompanied you to Luwero to visit an elderly woman whose family you had known during the difficult years of the war. Her small home was visibly worn by time. I still remember looking up and seeing holes in the old rusted iron sheets above us as rain clouds gathered in the distance. She offered us a weak wooden bench to sit on as you spoke with her at length, asking about her health, her children, her sisters, relatives, and even the resting place of her late husband. It was not a political visit. It was human. You later promised to build her a better home and, true to your word, you fulfilled that promise. I must confess that the entire scene moved me deeply and remains difficult to forget even today. Over the years, I have witnessed many similar moments that rarely reach newspapers or public platforms, moments that quietly reveal your compassion, humility, loyalty, memory, and genuine concern for ordinary people (obuntu). You have kept old friendships, remembered old comrades, respected culture and tradition, and continued to listen even to those who disagree with you. I know very few leaders who can move comfortably from a village discussion to a high level diplomatic meeting without changing who they are. Politics often rewards noise. History rewards endurance (okugumisiriza). Uganda’s journey has not been perfect, because no nation’s journey ever is. Yet few can deny that under your leadership Uganda has witnessed remarkable transformation in peace, infrastructure, education, regional influence, private sector growth, national confidence and dignity . Entire generations have grown up knowing only a stable Uganda, connected to the region and increasingly engaged with the world. That, whatever one’s political views may be, is part of your contribution to history.

The Uganda Wildlife Authority @ugwildlife and @TourismBoardUg need to address a serious issue in Queen Elizabeth National Park. There are now very few animals being seen in the park. Seeing lions has become very difficult, and visitors can drive for many kilometers without seeing even antelopes. This is disappointing for tourists. Some of my guests even asked, “Where are the animals?” This shows there is a real problem. Please look into this issue and take action so that visitors can have a better experience.

@Mr_Husky1 The child should be tamed. Not everything the child asks foe is given. Must also learn to respect others. The child's mother is a failing parent.

✈️ Imagine boarding a flight and settling into the seat you carefully selected and paid extra for, just to enjoy the view from the window. Minutes later, a mother with her crying child approaches and asks you to switch seats with the child. She's about to plead, as if giving in were your obligation. You're about to get up, because you were raised to be kind. But then you remember: you've been enduring the child's constant crying for several minutes. You stop and think: "Why should someone else have to put up with the tantrums of a child who barely knows me? Why give up what I worked hard to get just because?" So you calmly reply: "I'm sorry, I'd rather not move." That's what Jennifer, a passenger on a flight in Brazil, did. She refused to give up her seat and was filmed without her consent by the boy's mother, who accused her of lacking empathy: "I'm filming your face because it's disgusting that in the 21st century you have no empathy for a child." Jennifer didn't insult anyone. She didn't react with anger. But the media exposure cost her dearly: she went viral, was publicly shamed, all for saying "no" to something that wasn't her responsibility. Today, months later, Jennifer has decided to take action. She has sued the mother for defamation and emotional distress, and also the airline for failing to defend her against the harassment or intervene as they should have. According to her, the flight attendants even asked her to give in to the child's tantrum, which she considers inappropriate and unprofessional. Jennifer isn't seeking revenge. She's seeking respect. She's seeking to set boundaries. Because saying no is also a right. And this time, she might just win against the system that abandoned her. What do you think? Did he defend himself justifiably? Or do you think he overreacted?

Last night after my TV show at about 00:30. After crossing the traffic lights in Ntinda on Kisaasi road, 3 young men rolled a sack I believe of charcoal in my direct lane. I noticed there was a vehicle(probably a gate away car) parked on the pavement on my left. I aimed at them on the space on my right. They scampered and narrowly avoided colliding with an oncoming car. I believe these are the paver criminals littering our city. Take care guys. @PoliceUg

In 2018, I went for an interview for a position with one the biggest ministries in this country. We were about 560 applicants fighting for one position. They gave us an aptitude test on Monday. Those who passed were made to do written interviews on Wednesday. I was among the 100 who survived. We did the written interviews and out 100 applicants. We were 20 who survived again. Friday, we entered for oral interviews, and 3 of us survived. Me and two ladies. The position only was for one person. The following week, on Monday, 3 of us got into interviews and orals again. This time around, we were given a 30-minute session each in the panel. After the session, an old mzei approached me and asked where I'd come from. I quickly told him, and he smiled with kind of face that was communicating something. He told me I'd made through with 90.6%, my followers had got 80%, the third had got 78% He frankly told me that if you don't hear from the office after 2 weeks from now, just know things have happened. Guess what, I didn't hear from them till today 🤣🤣 I don't know about your experience, you may tell us, we console ourselves 🤗🤗

Ugandans, especially those who are struggling and those fighting corruption, this is to let you know that Uzeiye Hadijah Namyalo, the Head of the Office of the National Chairman, has bought her son, Rayan, a brand-new Jetour T2 worth $60,000 (UGX 230 million). And her monthly salary cannot even buy a brand new motorcycle. 💔
