@TimKalyegira @admcollingwood Have you read about Bayraktar, the inlaw of Erdogan. First Son-in-law did wonders for Turkey after graduating from MiT

@admcollingwood So, why does the well-run Singapore still send its best and brightest to study in the seemingly dysfunctional UK and U.S.? Why, with all their ambition and discipline, is Singapore unable to create its own Cambridge and Harvard?

I always weep reading the Wikipedia pages of senior Singaporean politicians. The general career path seems to be: Excel at school and secure a scholarship to study some super difficult subject, like maths or physics, at Cambridge University. Excel at university and get a scholarship to do a post-grad degree in governance or an MBA at Harvard. Join the Singaporean military and excel. Reach at least the rank of Brigadier or General. Enter politics. Excel even compared with others who have similar CVs, rise to become a senior position. Compare that with the career path of the average senior British politican. Get the same results as every other middle class child at school. Do PPE or straight up politics at university. Leverage your contacts to become a SPAD for a cabinet or shadow cabinet member. Get a column writing gig at the Spectator, Economist or New Statesman Become a more senior SPAD. Run in an impossible to win seat to prove you really want to be in parliament. Get parachuted into a safe seat as a rising star. Get a junior ministerial position in the first reshuffle after the election. Get made a cabinet member after the next election. Now, why is Singapore an extremely well run country and we are not?

@pretty_airnb It's (PPR) pay per round & most pay for the first! You need more, you hire more men... It's not cheap though

These days Men do 1 round and finish 🤣🤣🥳, wtf is this????

@MwesigyeFranks The gigolo profession has its rules of engagement

Kakwenza married a woman who is twice his mother’s age. The struggle is real.

@MwesigyeFranks No. That's Macron.

@CapitalFMUganda That's brideprice not dowry. Dowry is paid by women not men! Anyway, invest in assets not liabilities. If the parents want Shs. 20m, let them sell land and start a business.

I’m Timo. My girlfriend’s parents want UGX20M dowry soon, but I also have a chance to buy land worth the same amount. I’m torn between investing in the future or formalizing my relationship. What would you choose? #LetsTalkWithConsolate

@imraanKG She shd stand for position of speaker of Doc's

There is no way this is true

@RuzindanaA Mzee - U are telling us to leave Kampala & come back home without saying it. We are already disappointed in the liberators who instead of ensuring balanced national dvp't piled everything including their investments in K'la. Now - U hv to drive 600Kms to check on an empty 🏠

I am in the village about 1000ft higher than Kampala. The night temperatures are generally 3C degrees lower than in Kampala and by 3/4AM it’s about 15/16 degrees. It’s much cooler and one sleeps more soundly. Walks in high grass and uphill for about 4/6 km I feel much better after a few days and these walks on level ground are more beneficial than walking on level surfaces in residential urban areas. The air is cleaner and those with breathing difficulties may feel better. That’s my experience as I live in the countryside more frequently.

@SarahBireete Wrong economics; the 30% still goes into the economy.

Thank you for joining the TikTok livestream today about the proposed taxes and the #SovereigntyBillUG

@imraanKG Women have no religion

Trust a Muslim woman at your own risk. These girls 😸🤭

@AVGirl4Life @BarackObama authored the demise of Gadaffi

Name ONE thing Barack Obama will be remembered for?

The population and traffic of @TeamMbararaCity is growing very fast. The recent clean up of roadside structures has brought a cool breeze in town, a breath of fresh air. Develop't shdn't be chaotic. Let's capitalise on these small wins to build a smart city in Ankore, in Uganda

@MarkSsali @JKabuleta @mnamanya @USPAmedia @DailyMonitor @933kfm Sorry for the loss. Grim reaper came around early this time RiP AS!

Dear friends, our beloved Allan Ssekamatte has passed on at Kiruddu Hospital. So long my brother, may God take charge.

@imraanKG Tax incidence. Not every tx is to be passed on to the customer. Some taxes are meant to be paid by you and r to reduce your profit. Anyway - you want good roads, traffic lights, motivated cops...there, that's what the tax will do B-wait, isn't this going straight to Aya-toll-ah

@Rubaaho Fight with a willing opponent. The market audience is not willing

My people. When I leave this country this year please don't judge me 🙌

@ApolloBuregyeya @josepha66943626 Is your PhD thesis about his military exploits

@josepha66943626 That he is a very great General whose position in history is already secured. He is excellent.

Is Muhoozi Hannibal Reincarnated, or Are We Failing to Read History Properly? ======= Hannibal was not an ordinary military commander. He was an African general of Carthage, the North African empire that stood as one of the great powers of the ancient Mediterranean world. In his adulthood, he emerged as perhaps the most formidable military mind of his time, and his exploits against Rome remain among the most celebrated in military history. When Hannibal took the war into Europe, he did not do so timidly. He crossed the Alps with elephants, a feat that was extraordinary not merely because of the physical difficulty involved, but because of what it represented. It represented boldness, strategic imagination, and a willingness to carry conflict into the territory of a stronger and more established rival. He then proceeded to defeat Roman armies repeatedly on their own soil. At Cannae, in particular, he delivered what is widely regarded as one of the greatest battlefield victories in history. His command was brilliant, his movements precise, and his courage unquestionable. Therefore, if history were judged merely on the basis of military genius, Hannibal would stand among the greatest victors of all time. But history is not judged on brilliance alone. It is judged on outcomes. It is judged on whether victories on the battlefield translate into survival, continuity, and the long-term security of a people. This is where the story of Hannibal becomes uncomfortable, especially for those who are too quick to romanticize boldness. For all his military success, Hannibal did not secure the future of Carthage. He won battles, but he did not win the war in the only sense that finally matters. Rome survived him. Carthage did not survive Rome. It is important to note that Hannibal’s failure was not simply a personal failure. It was, more fundamentally, a systems failure. While he was displaying unmatched brilliance in the field, Carthage was failing to rise to the level of the historical moment before it. The political leadership was not sufficiently aligned with the military opportunity he had created. Support was limited. Strategic continuity was weak. The wider state apparatus did not convert his victories into lasting advantage. Rome, on the other hand, responded not with panic but with endurance. It rebuilt armies. It adjusted strategy. It avoided being permanently broken by Hannibal’s tactical superiority. In other words, Rome proved to be stronger as a system than Hannibal was as an individual genius. That is why Rome endured and Carthage eventually disappeared. So, when we celebrate Hannibal, we must do so carefully. He was heroic, yes. He was brilliant, yes. But his story is not a story of final victory. It is a story of the futility of isolated brilliance when it is not backed by durable national structure. It is the story of a great man whose courage ran ahead of the capacity of his state. That is why Carthage today exists in history books and archaeological ruins, but not on the political map of the world. This is the point African audiences must not miss. We have often been trained to admire resistance in its dramatic form. We are easily impressed by daring statements, symbolic gestures, and acts of confrontation against larger powers. But Hannibal’s story teaches that confrontation, however heroic, is not in itself strategy. If it does not secure continuity, then it may produce admiration without survival. It may produce memory without nationhood. That is why the lesson of Hannibal is not that Africa needs more dramatic men. The lesson is that Africa needs stronger systems. It needs productive economies, coherent statecraft, industrial depth, technological capacity, and political discipline. Without those things, even the most brilliant exploits become temporary spectacles whose end is written by others. It is in that context that one must reflect on present-day declarations about war and geopolitical alignment. Uganda’s general position, as many would argue, should not be one of looking for opportunities in war, nor of rushing to attach itself to military posturing in distant conflicts. Uganda’s proper interest lies in justice, stability, production, and national strengthening. A country that is still building its industrial and economic base should be careful not to confuse loudness with strength. So, is Muhoozi Hannibal reincarnated? That may be an interesting question for provocation. But the more important question is whether we, as Africans, have learnt the right lesson from Hannibal. If we have not, then we may continue admiring bold men while neglecting the systems that alone can preserve nations. And if that happens, then history will once again give us the same cruel result: great drama, great courage, and eventual disappearance.

If you're right-brained, you'll see a chicken laying an egg. If you're left-brained, you'll see a man riding a horse.

@cobbo3 What if we all closed US embassies and left them to deal with Israel

Of course if Cyril Ramaphosa hadn’t been Cyril Ramaphosa but Paul Kruger they wouldn’t have disinvited him. They would even have asked him to co-chair

@iam_igumira Poverty vibes...

We Africans have a long way to go. You can never find Elon musk doing such nonsense

@imraanKG After God (10 commandmartes), fear lawyers!

@Rubaaho No. I'm in for the thrill of the mind regarding how low works and why it works that way and how it impacts day to day life

Man. I love law. I wish I could do law studies now.
