We'll be forever amazed by the talents and inventiveness at Nasser Road – a truly decolonized and revolutionary space. Just as River Road in downtown Nairobi.

Charles Onyango Obbo @cobbo3 kindly wrote about the Nasser Road publication - "Nasser Road may be Uganda's most honest street because it admits that life here is often a performance staged for survival" @YusufSerunkuma @Katumbabadru1

🕵️‍♀️ Artificial intelligence can make fake visuals that can look almost real. It can also be used to manipulate original visuals.

So instead of reviewing safety standards we're going the easy route & burdening parents with organising pick-ups & drop-offs in the middle of the work-day? This was clearly done with a lot of care for the masses.

Yesterday was World IP Day so this is timely. For creatives, their work is their brand & their IP; understanding & protecting their ownership, digital rights & privacy is imperative.

Fuel rationing is ON. ⛽️ Field trip day and we passed 8-10 fuel stations without fuel, then the one we found is rationing at UGX 100k per car. Brace for increased food prices – and leave your car at home.

It's that time of year when Sabyinyo starts calling my name. 📸 @t_latim for @RusticUganda

Let's first start with dignified learning environments. This should be number one priority.

A Sunday Monitor farewell As the Sunday Monitor bows out of print, it leaves behind more than ink on newsprint — it leaves a lesson: journalism’s future lies not in nostalgia, but in reinvention. Epaper:epaper.nation.africa/ug?utm_medium=…

So far I have received 1,823,000/ from you. That is about 105 reusable pad packs so far, for 105 girls. Thank you so much. Keep them coming. Let’s change at least one girl’s year.

Yesterday, with my daughter, we visited Afripads, an organisation that makes and distributes reusable sanitary pads. My daughter is working on a school project (competence-based curriculum) where she seeks to learn and teach deprived girls how to make reusable pads. The project requires that they get a practical feel of the solution to a problem/challenge they’re working on, not just theory. Of course she learnt that it is more than it seemed to be, especially putting into consideration hygiene standards. But it was such a pleasure for me, as a girl’s father, being part of this conversation and learning about Afripads’ innovation, which I think could help many girls and women that can’t afford the other market options. Their school girl kit (pack) costs 17,000/, carrying a set that can be used for one year +! My daughter left elated about her project and what she learnt 😊. Thanks @AFRIpads

Recently a stranger sent me a message asking if @AgoraCFR can profile the new Chief Justice. I told him we are so overwhelmed with all the arrests, the disappearances and the killings happening. He volunteered to do it and in less than a day he had sent it. Thank you @findsedward. It makes me happy to see people volunteering their time and money to this important work.

@mbjorgum I'm seeing some of my people here. Why wasn't I invited?

Took a well-needed break from Kampala to breath fresh, cool forest air in Mpigi. Mpanga Nature Reserve is truly a hidden gem. 😍 Thank you for the trip, @jzeere, Uncle J and @MtSlayersUg 🙏 #ExploreUganda

@mbjorgum LOL you should tag the culprits. 👀👀

🕯️🕯️🕯️ May 2026 be the year we finally stop saying this photo is "Mt Rwenzori" 🕯️🕯️🕯️ (There are too many great photos of the Rwenzori Mountains for us to keep pretending a mountain in New Zealand is it)
