I wonder how we trust a taxi driver we randomly stop for a journey and fail to trust Christ who is the way, the truth and life.

I have learnt so much through the years but something important I have learnt in the previous year has been life teaches us every day so we should pay attention to learning everyday. This is my prayer “Lord don’t cut my rise but preserve my humility”. Happy birthday to me.

As an analyst, I guess you would offer an oversight about what should be done than the victimization syndrome which continues amongst every single person who wants to see the other side of the coin. I implore you to do something about it. We need collective efforts.

The same Parliament of Ug that in 2023 quickly passed the Anti-Homosexuality Act(but …nwyz let me not insinuate on what exactly is hpng) has now passed the Copyright Amendment Bill and I’m seeing many artists celebrating already😭😭😭, but the truth is it has never really been about having laws because Ug already has many laws that are not enforced, corruption still exists, and artists have never fully benefited even from the old copyright system, so this new law alone changes nothing unless there is real enforcement, fairness, and proper systems in place, otherwise it is just another law on paper.

Why should lobbying government be termed as begging. As the creative sector @GabrielBuule am sure you know how we contribute to the GDP. If other sectors are supported, why not the arts?

No matter what is involved in the amended copyright act, our musicians will remain poor, and they will continue to beg. They actually have more problems to address 😏

Playing a song on the radio is a commercial use of intellectual property that generates advertising revenue for the station. So it should be paid, stop the trickery, creators need a fair renumeration @unmfederationug @eddykenzoficial @Parliament_Ug @AnitahAmong

Ugandan musicians invest millions producing music and shooting videos, yet we still have to pay radio stations, TV stations and bloggers just to promote our own work. Clause 9 of the Copyright Amendment simply guarantees that when our music is played, artists are paid. If Clause 9 is removed, then this amendment defeats its purpose and the creative industry will continue bleeding. I call upon all musicians to speak up and defend our rights. To government, we ask for fairness. It’s time to do the right thing. #Clause9 #ProtectUgandanMusic

We seek a law that treats Intellectual Property with the same sanctity as Physical Property. (Land etc)

A song is a product of labor, intellect, and investment. When a radio station or business plays music, they are using a professional asset to drive their own profit.@unmfederationug @eddykenzoficial

Should Creatives Be Worried? Reflections on the Copyright Bill Debate. Parliament debated the Copyright Amendment Bill 12.03.26 during its 2nd reading, & the discussion raised several concerns. 1-The Rt. Hon. Speaker AAA asked why radio stations like her own mama bukedea should pay royalties to creators (artists) yet the stations are already promoting their work by playing their music. 2-Another MP argued that artists themselves often pay DJs and media hosts to promote their music, questioning why radio stations should still be required to pay royalties. 3-One submission called for a cost benefit analysis of the bill to clearly show what Artists stand to gain or lose if the law is passed. 4-Concerns were also raised about artists who may want their music promoted for free without media houses paying royalties. Dont they have liberty to choose? 5-Another MP argued that once an artist releases their music, it becomes public, and therefore people should be free to use it however way they wish without payment. 6-A further suggestion was that if artists want this bill passed, government should also begin taxing their revenue & income from public performances sighting zero tax compliance yet they want to be paid. The debate was eventually cut short due to a lack of quorum. However, a few observations stood out: 1-The debate focused mainly on music, overlooking the wider creative industries that copyright laws protect. 2-Some MPs seemed unaware that copyright protection is already a global standard for safeguarding creators’ rights. 3-It is unclear whether the proposed amendment was benchmarked against international markets with established copyright systems, since it does not introduce a new concept. 4-what Should be be the middle ground between media owners and creatives Without strong copyright protections, creatives may continue depending on occasional government support instead of earning sustainable income from their intellectual property. So i ask: should creatives be worried yet or you sense good will of passing the copyright amendment law? Dear creatives Watch👇🏻 Lets discuss. #NBSAfter5 Video credit : @ubctvuganda

Supporting this Bill isn't just about "helping artists" it is about enforcing fair trade and ensuring that the creators who soundtrack your lives can afford to live them. We invite you to support the #copyrightforcreators as we push for a law that reflects the modern digital era

I hope this helps. Welcome back from internet free holiday. Self realization is indeed paramount.

In life, childhood is like writing with a pencil we make mistakes and learn as we go. But adulthood is like writing with a pen, our choices leave marks, so we must think before we act.

While you’re on the rise, lift others with you because one day, when you fall, the greatest comfort will be being caught by the very hands you helped climb.

Selflessness in a relationship shouldn’t be at the cost of your self worth. Love should flow from both sides, not drain one side. Don’t die while proving.
