@reussae Just unbelievable that a nation supposed to lead the way is behaving like this.

@SKashure Such a senseless war hurting (almost) everyone.

@realDonaldTrump @sejudav So?

The United States has spent EIGHT TRILLION DOLLARS fighting and policing in the Middle East. Thousands of our Great Soldiers have died or been badly wounded. Millions of people have died on the other side. GOING INTO THE MIDDLE EAST IS THE WORST DECISION EVER MADE.....

@B_Ogiki @patrickoyulu True

@patrickoyulu Kukuba endobo. From All Saints Church (Nakasero) all the way to Rashid Khamis Road via Kyaggwe road felt like 5km on gravity. The traffic wasn’t heavy then so the roads were clear (Photo Courtesy -unkwown)

When “Teka mu wa Lukumi” Was almost Economic Policy. There is a certain innocence in today’s panic about oil prices -as if the world has just discovered that engines drink, and geopolitics sometimes spikes the bill. My young friends scrolling through Brent charts like they are Premier League tables, allow me -an alumnus of the University of “Sibyangu” -to take you back. Because this movie? We have watched it before. On VHS. Rewound. Then watched again when the tape got stuck. The 1980s oil shocks, courtesy of the Iran–Iraq war, didn’t just rattle economists in suits -they introduced Ugandans to a new form of cardio: queueing at Wandegeya petrol stations. Lines so long you could greet a cousin in Makerere and still return to your car without losing your place. The rule? Maximum 20 litres. A kadomola. Enough to move from “hopeful” to “still stranded, but with purpose.” And then came the real curriculum: survival engineering. Ugandan drivers became part-time scientists. Newton met necessity. You learned the sacred art of kuwondowadi -engine off, gliding downhill in respectful silence, as if the car had entered prayer mode. Passengers instinctively stopped talking, as though conversation itself consumed fuel. That was 'Solar' mode. Now, the cars. Oh, the cars were not just machines -they were co-conspirators. Those were the times of the good old carburetor system, not the Electronic fuel Injection (EFI) times we use today. The legendary Baby Fiat -850cc of pure discipline -was less a car and more a lifestyle choice. It didn’t consume fuel; it negotiated with it. Then came the slightly “ambitious” cousin, the Fiat 900E (900cc), which felt like upgrading from tea to tea with milk. Still humble, still obedient, but with just enough ego to climb a hill without consulting ancestors. The Mini 1000? A pocket-sized warrior. The Volkswagen Kombi? A moving village meeting -underpowered, overburdened, but spiritually committed. And that Honda Civic…ah! If driven by a wise man who knew when to accelerate and when to surrender to gravity, it could stretch a litre like a budget speech -tight, calculated, and surprisingly effective. Of course, no crisis is complete without Ugandan entrepreneurship. Enter the “OPEC boys.” Black market fuel dealers who operated with the confidence of multinational CEOs. If you knew one, your tank had hope. If you knew two, you were practically energy independent. Fast forward. Hormuz is misbehaving again. It's not being straight. Prices are climbing like rent in Kitukutwe. Transport fares are negotiating with your soul. But relax. We come from a generation that turned 850cc into a national strategy. That converted slopes into fuel stations. That believed, firmly, that if you timed your downhill correctly, Kampala itself would carry you home. And somehow -engine off, faith on -we always arrived in our Angaliya Kakokola. We are a resilient people. Yes, we #Ugandans are. We shall overcome. #Byebyo #OilRally #Uganda

@SKashure It's an old adage :)

Never believe anything until it is officially denied.

@reussae That's it.

@reussae Uganda can't be there forever.

A reaction from #Somalia to the Ugandan CDF's twitter announcement of impending full withdrawal of UPDF troops from the country

@DaudiKabanda @mkainerugaba He went to Rsdio Uganda and announced a coup detat

@mkainerugaba 25 Minutes President??? How?

Today, I remember my old friend Col. Walter Ochora. He was the shortest serving 'President' of the country. He served for 25 minutes or something I think. Mzee rescued us from so much turmoil.

@reussae God chooses who goes first.

Don't expect Museveni to go before Moses Ali does.

@reussae So far so good @reussae .

Wishing, hoping for a calm day of voting in #Uganda.

Somali Prime Minister Hamza Abdi Barre honored the handover ceremony as Somalia officially transferred the chairmanship of the Eastern Africa Standby Force (EASF) to Uganda during the 35th Policy Organs Meeting in Mogadishu, underscoring continued regional cooperation for peace and security in Eastern Africa. #EASF #Somalia #Uganda

@RonexKisembo @RugyendoQuotes @KagutaMuseveni @StateHouseUg @JanetMuseveni @NRMOnline @AntiGraft_SH Best way out.

Hayati Mwalimu Julius Kambarage Nyerere once said, "Nguvu ya wanyonge ni kuungana." Read, "The power of the disenfranchised and the weak lies in unity." Let that sink in. We either integrate or perish. @KagutaMuseveni @StateHouseUg @JanetMuseveni @NRMOnline @AntiGraft_SH @MODVA_UPDF @Col_FMwesigye @AndrewMwenda @TonyOwana @RugyendoQuotes @DeoAkiiki @ChrisOMagezi @ntvuganda @nbstv @ubctvuganda

Who will love our flaws?

Decision making for the Region.

@reussae How serious is this?
