@estonluwedde @KakwenzaRukira @Thomas_Tayebwa @emmanuel_dombo hahaha......

@KakwenzaRukira @Thomas_Tayebwa @emmanuel_dombo He has to act poor. Didn't you see what happened to his boss? Social media will start putting price tags on his suits.

Mr. @Thomas_Tayebwa leave these chamcha uniforms/bisaati for the likes of jobless @emmanuel_dombo and you get nice suits

@CavaniJulius @SpireJim @CheCastro728 @RugyendoQuotes @emmanuel_dombo Do you know any university professor with one degree? He told you that he trades in knowledge; it seems you did not understand him.

@SpireJim @CheCastro728 @RugyendoQuotes @emmanuel_dombo He seems to be more of a collector than a doer... All people who have changed the world in the past and present have at most one college degree .... anything more is more about ego than what u actually want to do

They both studied art and comedy! One does it thru cartoon work, and the other thru music, dance and drama.

@omodingaaron @Unseen_Archive was he not 2 years old in 1900? (You have made very good observations).

@Unseen_Archive At school in 1900 at the signing of the Buganda agreement Kabaka Chwa was a baby and so he was actually represented. Wasn't 1914 too close for him to be wedding?

Found today in the archives of the Wellcome Library: Wedding photo of one of Uganda’s most fascinating women: Lady Irene Namaganda, 1914. Daughter of a clergyman, she married Kabaka Daudi Cwa, becoming the first nnabagereka of c20th Buganda.

@SpireJim Common sense and logic died when the giraffe lived.

😂 What Died When We Lived …

@Timelessthemes @JohnSENTAMU2 @ImranShab256 what a pity!

@JohnSENTAMU2 @ImranShab256 I cried when I was typing too.

My Nine Year Ordeal at KIU In 2013, I left Buhweju district with a heavy responsibility on my shoulders. I was the first person in my family to reach university level. Scoring 19 points in UACE felt like I had finally broken a cycle of poverty. When I was admitted to Kampala International University under the district bursary scheme, my family celebrated a miracle. We believed the "bursary" was a hand reaching down to pull us up. Instead, it became a weight that nearly drowned me. The "scheme" covered tuition, but the functional fees carried a hidden, lethal sting. During orientation, no one warned us that a small delay in payment would trigger penalties so aggressive they felt predatory. By my second year, a small balance had mutated into an 800,000 UGX debt. I went from being a brilliant student dreaming of a First Class degree to a beggar, moving from office to office every semester, pleading for an exam card just to sit for papers I had worked so hard to prepare for. Despite paying every semester's functional fees after learning about late payment charges, by the time I finished in 2016, the debt was so huge that there was no way I could clear it in a single swoop. The financial pressure did not just empty my pockets; it invaded my mind. It is hard to concentrate on Literature and English when you are calculating how many days of food you must skip to pay a "late fee" that grows while you sleep. By 2016, I had finished every course with no retakes, no missed papers but I was a ghost of the man who had entered. I left the gates broken, emaciated in spirit, and carrying a debt that had ballooned. I spent the next six years in a self imposed exile in Eastern Uganda, teaching for a meager salary. I lived like a hermit, sending every spare coin back to KIU. I was not working for a future; I was working to buy back a past that the university was holding hostage. In 2022, I finally cleared the last shilling. The relief, however, was short lived. After buying the graduation gown and seeing my name on the notice board, on Tuesday, I did the one thing I had waited nearly a decade to do: I invited my parents. My father is a primary five dropout from the 1960s. For years, he had looked at me with suspicion, wondering if I had truly been studying or if I had wasted the family’s hopes. I wanted that graduation day to be his vindication. We traveled from the village, slept in Kampala, and walked onto that campus with our heads high. Then came the horror. When the official graduation book was opened, my name was nowhere to be found. In that moment, the world stopped. I stood there in a gown I had paid for, at a ceremony I had earned, looking at a father who now had "final proof" that his son was a failure. The humiliation was so absolute that the fact I am still alive today is a miracle of God’s grace. I spent months fighting, sending emails, and knocking on doors that remained closed until I mentioned legal pressure and opportunities abroad. Only then did a "transcript" magically appear. I chose not to attend the later ceremony when my name finally appeared on the list. The joy had been systematically bled out of the experience. I share this because a "bursary" for the poor should not result in paying more than the rich. A university should be a fountain of knowledge, not a "school for scandal" that exploits the very students it claims to support. Those nine years left scars that no certificate can cover. This is for every student still trapped in that cycle fighting for a degree they have already earned.

@LuyambiGeo21524 @Humanrights256 The issue is the "stealing" imbedded in their financial requirements and because the government is not bothered, it has become a culture in ALL schools. We must halt this open stealing in schools. Otherwise we shall start paying development fee in taxi, shops n clinics.

@Humanrights256 These are traders in the names of schools they just transfer their business stocks into schools. And parents they care less and it keeps on growing

🚨UPDATE: Which government institution/body regulates the prices of school fees/tuition? St.Peter's Senior Secondary School Nalya: ■Fees structures ●UGX 200K as Admission fees paid in cash meaning if the school admits like 1000 students that's equivalent to UGX 200M. ●UGX 850K for school uniforms yet they use local tailors in kiyembe ●UGX 150K Development fee 🥱 imagine starting up a school and charging students to develop it. ●UGX 350K for study trips to Kasenyi or Fort Portal once in a term (It's a one day activity) ●UGX 50K Contributions to the school administration PTA board ●UGX 2.4M School fees for boarding students each term ●UGX 50k for DSTV subscription each term per student meaning if 1000 students contribute that's equivalent to UGX 50M for DSTV each term QTN. After charging parents all this, what's the aim of paying school fees?

@SpireJim In Primary schools, it is covered in social studies e.g. District administration is covered in P.4, Government in P.5, elections and democracy in P.6 and regional and international organisation in P.7

Under what subject is civic education in schools now?

@ashrafomar_ug @SilvestL @cobbo3 so what?

@SilvestL @cobbo3 Katuntu was NRM though.

The Uganda Parliament will never be the same after Ssemujju Nganda lost the Kiira Municipality seat in the Jan. 15, 2026 election. I thought the middle class voters of Kiira were more discerning. Is it that they didn't turn up, or the NUP storm was too much?

@zai_AFC @SilvestL @cobbo3 much......

@SilvestL @cobbo3 What's did they collectively achieve in terms of halting bad bills in their time there?

@SilvestL @cobbo3 exactly......most people do not watch debates in parliament.

@cobbo3 Kicking out Ssemuju,Basalirwa,Katuntu,Dr.Lulume, Kivumbi then Nsereko at the same time means most Ugandans who claim to want change don't follow what goes in Parliament!!!

@kayembashafiq2 @SpireJim not true...... the machines work differently.

@SpireJim Dr.i suppose this is very true and this explains the reason behind telling people to go back home after casting your vote. Dear informer,thank you so much,I think all hope isn't lost if we still have such people.

I hope this information isn’t true. Take precautions, just in case it is true… —————— “PLEASE HIDE MY IDENTITY!!!!!! Hello, Mr. Spire, I hope all is well with you. A quick one about the planned massive rigging of votes by the military and the NRM supporters throughout the voting season using the Biometric Voter Verification Kit (BVVK) machines and the ghost voters who will be using the deceased's voting slips. Please be informed and also pass on the information to the public that the Electoral Commission, in collaboration with the NRM People, is planning to use the Military and some NRM supporters to vote using Voter Locator Slips (VLS) for the deceased people whose names were not removed from the voter registers, and those ghost names that were added into those registers. This will be done with the aid of the Presiding Officers and the BVVK Operators, who are ready to comply with their instructions and orders, and those who fail to comply will be dismissed and replaced immediately by their own people, more so on the 15th day. So this is how it is going to be done: 1. They will organize or assemble like 200+ people per polling station, ready for the task, putting on "Caps/hats, call them "Obukofiira or Enkofiira" covering their heads, Shades/Sunglasses, call them "Bi/Ggalubiindi" of different types and black in colour, and Masks". So those are some of the symbols you will identify those goons with, and at the time of voting, the machines will not be able to capture their fingerprints, and instead, the machine operators, well knowing of what to do, will instead resort to scanning the slips claiming that the machines failed to capture their fingerprints, "ebinkumu" and before you know it, they have already accomplished their mission and at some point, they will turn off the machines around like from 10 am or 3 pm -5 pm basing on the voter turn up in those time frames saying that the network is down and use that chance to pass on their numbers using the slips and the registers chap chap to obtain their targeted number or at least 70% of their mission. So please alert all polling agents for the different candidates to be vigilant and scrutinize all voters' faces and caution the public to contest while on the voting days, to allow only those who have taken off their masks and the related stuff covering their faces to access the polling area or be given a ballot paper. That same method was used nationwide in the previous elections in areas that have their polling stations around or near the barracks, more so at "UCTU in KAWEMPE I and in the HON. NALUKOOLA'S BYE-ELECTION" and this time round, it's gonna be used all over. So please inform the public also about those headgears and balina abantu okwebereramu this time round. Otherwise, have a nice election season ahead, Mr. Jim Spire S. Don't forget to hide my identity since I'm one of the Presiding Officers already stationed at … who got to know about the whole plot/plan. Thanks for your time.”

@Nambale131 @Herbert256ug @SpireJim apparently, it is foolproof. If you have identified any loophole, let us know.

@emperoraugust23 @Herbert256ug @SpireJim u can not go to scanning the ballots before the thumb opens the machine to identify the voter. That alleged rigging is based on the machines of 2021. 2026 machines are different.

@Herbert256ug @SpireJim But the explanation is clear, or you just failed to understand, In summary, He/she said, they will claim the machine has failed to scan his finger print or the machine network is off, hence resorting to voter's slip only🤝

@bamwinejnr Isnt Ugandan politics about popularity?popularity = votes.

Mugisha Muntu is the only person who can change this country. Not interested in a popularity contest. Best presidential candidate 👏

@bamwinejnr that is political myopia; you want one region to produce presidents for 60 years plus

@Sammy_UG01 @mkainerugaba @MKarekye @kamukamafredie @KagutaMuseveni @greatkwizamk @FredShaka @KemiKainerugaba @AaronKaviiri @Nats20122351 @NathanNuwagira2 go home, why? is that what the law says?

No one is going to bring or start any form of chaos in Uganda, our security forces are well prepared to avoid that. Don't forget to vote and go home.🙏

@Naturinda96 every generation has a chosen charismatic generational leader and that is Bobi. He should have endorsed and backed Bobi. It is not his time; a westerner has ruled Uganda for 40 years; he can be replaced with another person from the same region.

I’m not requesting anyone to vote for Mugisha Muntu,but as an understanding Ugandan,tell me one reason for not voting him!!

@KomugishaPeace How can an 80 year old protect the country's gain; a person with that age can not even head a primary school or a parish of a church.

I am Komugisha Peace, and I'm kindly requesting all my 70.8k followers to vote for H.E Yoweri Kaguta Museveni come 15th. We need to protect our Gains now.🤝🧎‍♀️

@JovansMbabazi @SimonKaggwaNjal why dont you post when the NUP supporters were throwing stones and blocking roads in Gulu. Please post as well when police and army are beating up NRM supporters for blocking roads and attacking NUP supporters.

You know what’s funny? Every time something happens to Bobi Wine, the same people rush to post the most dramatic photo, add a sarcastic caption, and suddenly it’s “proof” that Uganda has no democracy at all. They never show the part where his team blocked roads, refused to follow the approved route, or threw stones first. They never mention the police warnings that were ignored for hours. Just one cropped clip, one emotional headline, and boom—propaganda served. If you’re going to cry about “army beating innocent civilians,” at least have the honesty to post the full sequence of events instead of the 5-second money shot that fits your narrative. Selective outrage is still outrage, but it’s cheap.

In the name of democracy?
