It has been an honour for me to join other judges convened by the Uganda Poetry Society @uganda69597 to read and assess submissions of poems for the Annual Dr. Ivan Edwards Poetry Awards. It was interesting to agree on a short list out of many amazing poems. Yesterday, we decided on a winner for each of the two categories of “18+” and “under 18”. The award ceremony is scheduled for 04:00PM to 10:00PM tomorrow, Saturday 28th March 2026 at the Backyard Bistro, Luthuli Avenue, Bugolobi - Kampala. Many thanks to @MatogoPhilip Philip Matogo for coordinating this competition.

A big thank you to Philip Matogo and the @DailyMonitor for this review of Prof. Ntambirweki’s upcoming biography, The Towering Trailblazer. This truly is the story of a man who set out to “change his fortunes and the fortunes of those around him ended up doing just that.”

@i_zziwa @irynnamubiru Absolutely. How can I reach @irynnamubiru? Do you have her number?

@irynnamubiru @MatogoPhilip, you should get a copy of Iryn's memoir. I am curious to read your review about it in general.

This book is now available in Uganda and in all AMAZON stores! #MyMotherKnows!

@hrayebare @charlesgava_256 Ugandan books are typically 100 to 250 pages long. Plus, the language is easily accessible. One should be able to read 10 books per month. International books of an indefinite length and quality take longer, but 4 books are doable here. I can do it.

@charlesgava_256 @MatogoPhilip come and put this conversation to bed.

But is it a realistic claim Mbu one reads 4 books a month ? 😅😅

Contrary to NUP fan fiction, President Museveni insists Bobi Wine is being used by foreign elements to overturn the democratic order in Uganda. #MonitorUpdates #story?utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter_DailyMonitor" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">monitor.co.ug/uganda/news/na…
