Yesterday,a thief was caught but I don’t know if he survived 😂😂😂 I don’t encourage people to engage in mob justice, but sometimes it seems like a way to send a clear message to the public at least others can learn.

@DoreenNyanjura It’s 2026, and the needs of a campuser are bare minimum. We should have opened her eyes

OMG! I just heard a female University graduate saying all she needs is a man that will be paying her rent and some mbs😭😭😭 I was about to approach her and talk to her but I remembered I was told by people to start minding my own business. So your parents pay for your Education up to University and all you aspire for is a man to pay your rent and buy you mbs😭😭. My Dear Ladies, let’s not give up on ourselves to this level.

@BallyWannabe Crazy story, one out of Nollywood. Where’s part 2. Did you take her back 😂

My girlfriend stopped communicating and I moved on. A few weeks later I heard she got married. I was happy for her. 4 months later I came home just to be told that she came looking for me, and she was 4 months pregnant. 6 months later my Cousin called me saying that he had gone to supervise his workers, he has a kitchen cabinet fitting company and while he was watching his employees work, he was listening to a conversation between the wife to the owner of the house and her friend. The wife was telling her friend that the child she had wasn’t her husband’s, that it was her Ex boyfriend’s child. Her friend kept asking her about her Ex and my Cousin thought she was describing me, my name, how I looked like, where l worked, and where I lived. My cousin went outside and called me. I told him to go inside and take a good look at her and tell me how she looks like. I just laughed Lol. They divorced shortly after and she went back to her Mother’s house. Then she started sending people to tell me to go and see her child.

@MujuziEmmaK @ghosts16ab @Pick_Up_Trucks Still looks good.

Pictorial Evidence

@nsengoba @norbertmao He has a way of building to a story. You’ll get hooked.

Like him or not, @norbertmao has the gift of the gab. He weaves very facinating and witty anecdotes laden with sagacity.

@nyaika256 Try this in our floods, you’ll find out it wasn’t made in Japan 😂

The Subaru Outback can go toe to toe with the new land cruiser when it comes to wading water.

@Real1_balogun Lest we forget, Chelsea has a tour in Nigeria very soon

Michael Carrick wrote about this experience in his book, ‘Between the Lines’. It wasn't a nice narration. He wrote about how difficult a footballer’s life is and how that trip wasn't convenient for many of them. His description of Nigeria and Abuja in that book was scathing. He wrote about some Policemen breaking a photographer’s camera and beating him for taking a picture of them. He said he yelled after them. “They grabbed him, jabbed him in the ribs and dragged him round the back of the hotel. ‘Whoa, what’s up? It’s only a picture. We never saw him again. It was all a bit over the top,” he wrote. In another paragraph, his words were; “the whole experience in Abuja was like being trapped in a horror film”. Read his conclusion; “The trip lasted only 16 hours, but Abuja’s effects lasted longer. I vomited for a week, but some lads had it far worse. They were so sick that United sent a sample off to some university and, I’m not kidding, they found monkey and rat shit in the sample. The university docs said they’d never seen anything like it before. So, no, I won’t remember Abuja happily and I can’t imagine the other lads will either. Those are the type of souvenirs you don’t want to bring back from tours abroad.” It was the last time any big team was in Nigeria. Eighteen years ago. We will learn one way or the other.

@ssennyonjoRoger Before I knew the meaning I thought mob justice was too much justice.

Sometime back in my small village in Bukomansimbi there was significant increase in criminal cases. Thieves would enter people’s houses and either beat or kill them and take whatever they can. The local police had failed to get the thieves, so the locals decided to do public policing. The officers at the station were also frustrated. Eventually one time, one of the notorious thieves broke into someone house, and beat her badly but she made noise that alerted the already frustrated locals. The guy tried to run on a bike but he was chased for some good distance until they got him in the ka trading centre. Mob justice started, and someone called police to come. The officers in their response said once they reach the scene, they will need to disperse the mob and take the guy for medical treatment. So they told the person who called that they’re going to delay by 15mins, and by the time they get to the scene, they should find the thief already killed. The locals beat this man to death and then set the body on fire. By the time police arrived, there was nothing to save, and no one was arrested from the mob team. We needed that kind of response on this guy😡😡

@amronaldo @Parliament_Ug Overall taxes are higher for newer cars due to the higher valuation. They should focus on emissions.

@busfra @Parliament_Ug Which taxes? Import duty?

DECEPTIVE PROPOSED AGE LIMIT ON USED MOTOR VEHICLES FY 2026/27 There is proposal in @Parliament_Ug to slash the age limit on imported used cars from 15 years to 13 years. And, as usual, they’re waving the “emissions” flag because they know it’s an easy sell to the public. But once you dig into the details, the whole thing starts to smell like something else entirely (REVENUE). Let’s stop pretending this is about the environment. Where the deception starts: ⏩Japan doesn’t impose age limits on cars for its own citizens. They don’t tell buyers, “By the way, this car expires in 13 years.” So why do we pretend that this is the global standard of managing emissions? ⏩Where is the evidence? When the age limit was cut to 15 years in 2018, did emissions drop? Did air quality improve? Did anyone even measure? Or are we just recycling the same unproven idea every few years? ⏩“Environmental Levy” is a convenient cash cow. Government collects it, but NEMA @nemaug, the agency responsible for the environment, doesn’t see a shilling (apart from the formal allocation per FY). ⏩If emissions were truly the concern, we would test vehicles before importation. The levy would depend on the result. The equipment is cheap, portable, and widely used elsewhere. But testing doesn’t generate the same easy target revenue as blanket levies. ⏩The levy should be tied to actual emission levels, publicly standardised UNBS @UNBSug . But transparency is the last thing anyone seems interested in. The myth of the “clean” brand-new car There’s this lazy assumption that brand-new cars are automatically clean, safe, and compliant. Except reality disagrees and I agree with reality: ⏩ Some “brand-new” imports from China, South Korea, Malaysia, etc., arrive with defects because Uganda doesn’t enforce standards on them. We do not have a standard for motor vehicles manufactured here or abroad. We go by what we get. China supplied Uganda road construction equipment and it did not even last two years. ⏩Government (the biggest buyer of new vehicles) imports cars with Euro 4 engines. ⏩Euro 4 was Europe’s standard in the year 2000. Europe is now on Euro 6. So while government lectures citizens about “old cars,” it’s buying vehicles with 26-year-old engine technology. ⏩ Industry experts point to the real culprit: **high sulphur fuel**. High sulphur = more sulphur dioxide = PM2.5 pollution + acid rain. But instead of fixing fuel quality, we blame the age of cars. ⏩ UNBS assumes new cars don’t need PiVOC. Yet I’ve been in “brand-new” cars in Brazil and South Africa that came with missing seatbelts. So what exactly are we trusting here? So what’s the logic? Because right now, it looks less like environmental policy and more like a revenue scheme dressed up as climate / emission concerns. If the goal were genuinely clean air, we’d fix fuel quality, enforce standards on all vehicles, and test emissions scientifically instead of punishing people for buying affordable cars.

Dusty roads, car fumes send Ugandans to hospital. Uganda is now ranked the 8th most polluted country globally and the 3rd most polluted in Africa observer.ug/news/ugandans-…

@Denis_Jjuuko @TheMutaD Reminder not to get too comfortable in a rental

Recently, I received a call from our landlord at the metal and aluminium workshop. At first, he sounded like usual.. he needed money. No problem I said. Although we are not in arrears, we can arrange a few months ahead. He paused a bit. And then dropped the bombshell. “I am increasing the rent,” he said and mentioned a figure. It was more than 3 times what we pay. As I was still processing it, he dropped another missile. “I want it all in a lump sum for 5 years,” he said. Five years? I asked. Yes five years and he added. “Otherwise I have my…..” he mentioned a certain tribe. I told him, go ahead and give them the damn place. The five year rent he wanted upfront could buy a sizable plot in Buwaate, where the workshop was located. We had leased an empty plot and put there all the temporary structures, electricity, toilets etc. Anyway, relentlessly, we embarked on finding financing at good rates to build our own workshop and we did. On 1 April 2026, we moved the workshop to Gayaaza-Ziroobwe Road, in our own premises. No more landlord shenanigans…. But to ensure I don’t post about a financier if they call and we don’t have money to pay them back…. Continue giving us jobs…. Any aluminium, metal engineering work… That way I won’t have to return to the village in Masaka…. mwebale bambi.

@Timelessthemes @InnoBBara Sorry about your ordeal! You are a very good writer. You should pursue journalism at this point. The current crop of talent needs a refresher.

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.

@samsiria @OgetoAlex Not all that glitters is gold

In Dar es salaam, within a day you see atleast five women that you would like to spend the rest of your life with😭

@IsaacImaka @__Mpambara It’s a breath of fresh air to receive one’s flowers while still alive. Did DK know he was loved this much?

In a country where most radio presenters are behind the mics because of their accents and how loud they can shout, where social media feeds are full of uncontrollable content creators with near zero emotional intelligence… /1

@blair_kizza Truth about weight loss People love results not matter what it takes

Not saying she’s on Ozempic, Mounjaro or those GLP-1 drugs but this is how they work in simple terms: they reduce your appetite so you don’t feel like eating much, slow how fast food moves in your gut so you stay full for longer, and in the end you just eat less…that’s how the weight goes down Also there’s no shame in using Ozempic, Mounjaro…

@Cecilia97N The rates of HIV are about to go higher with that practice

How do I even tell a friend that their husband is secretly having an affair with a fellow man. This new stock of Kampala husbands🤔🤔, I am so done with y’all.

@Egline_Samoei @juscloedenise @Colgate Genius statement

@Shee_Astro @OgetoAlex Now that she stops getting the quick money you’ll be termed the enemy.

Today a coworker asked our janitor to wash her car. (Not part of her job description). The janitor washed it. The coworker paid her 100 bob. Guys?? I was so pissed off, my head has been hurting ever since.
