PARENTING - Monday read! I told you guys recently while chatting with our first born son Kylan Wekesa, he said, there have been times he deliberately done stuff to get me angry. He added, on many occasions you would ignore as if nothing is happening and I realized am the loser in this game, you went about like nothing is happening with your work. I spent a good part of my life in a children home, I reminded him. We were 48 boys and only one guy amongst us often got attention when he had an emotional breakdown. He was loved more than us all. It was so clear that emotional games weren’t for the rest of us, all we developed was sense of duty. Life on many occasions was unbeatable that some of the boys escaped oba to where? It was hard to pretend you were sick as a young man in the children’s home, you wouldn’t be served food because they said sick people don’t eat. First food was a massive challenge, can’t worsen it by not getting what was provided. I tried to one time tell my mom, life was so hard, she said, son I will send straight to Kenya to look after cows, that was the work young boys in my village did. They were sent to Kenya to look after people’s cows. Son, you see how terrible our lives are? You dare escape from the children’s home, I will send you straight to Kenya to either become a cowboy or a shamba boy. She wasn’t my ally then but I appreciate it now. My mom was a harden battle champion, small lady with courage of a giant, once in a while she would start village wars, armed with a panga. I am reminded to ask her what used to cause those particular moments. Back to my son, I add, I have more sense of duty than emotional appeal, I can’t spend my time telling you Bambi, that you can get from your mum. I have to spend time providing for family, taking care of business because many of us depend on, little time emotions son. The other thing I was so clear about when they were young especially the boys, due to sports especially motocross, they often got injured. I warned them from pretending and I never entertained it. And I told them why that was important. They run a risk of me not taking them seriously when are actually injured thinking there were pretending. I must say it’s been tough sometimes for them but as they grow, they have started understanding that I was right. I tell especially my sons, the world isn’t kind to men, emotions are there yes but you have a duty of soldiering on. Failure for a man can be a miserable. It’s very challenging, draining, demeaning as well. Yes, when they do well, I congratulate them and when it’s the opposite, I encourage them to invest in efforts because that guarantees better results. They have to fight to be better than they were yesterday today. When you fight to improve against yourself, you obviously improve against others around you too. That approach reduces negative envy.

@mkainerugaba Who owns the Rolls Royce? AAA:

I have been Mzee's son for 52 years but I have never sat in a rolls royce ever. I don't think Mzee has sat in one either.

@norbertmao Hon. @norbertmao, the world of comedy lost a potential true great. These comebacks are legendary.

A rolling stone gathers no moss🤣

@norbertmao @AAgather

@AAgather I stand corrected. Thanks to new data. Even those who believed that the sun moved around the earth eventually changed their position when faced with new information. But let’s face this matter with seriousness and honesty: assuming both I and the outgoing Speaker were charged with corruption and knowing the high standard for a criminal conviction, namely beyond reasonable doubt, whose file would have enough evidence to secure a conviction?

@DailyMonitor When a new Governor is about to be appointed, there will be signs.

One of the telling things about our society at our functions is how we behave around food: 1. People loading more food on their plates than they can finish, and without feeling ashamed of the heaps on their plates 2. The fact that people have to be served, because they don’t know how to share limited resources 3. When given a chance for self service, people serving themselves without any regard to those behind them that might not get. Five pieces of chicken are left in the dish, and someone serves himself three of them (with 20 people behind him) 4. People eating more than they need, just because there is free food 5. People acting impatient as if they would die if they took 10 more minutes before their turn to serve (okulookalooka/ okululunkana) 6. Serving the second time (double) before others get anything, and pretending not to have eaten at all 7. Packing food to take home when some people present haven’t got 8. Catering service providers hiding food. While these habits might seem isolated and only related to food, they ALL vividly manifest themselves when we are in charge of any resources that have to be shared. Think about it. Our biggest problems as a country are around GREED, SELFISHNESS, DISHONESTY, and lack of a sense of SHAME

@FredShaka @SSssebunya @Sammy_UG01 @mkainerugaba @ubctvuganda in the rapidly shifting sands of modern warfare, is hand to hand combat still relevant?

Listening to Governor Bank of Uganda talk about the dangers of the proposed SOVEREIGNTY BILL to the economy, IDI AMIN to came to mind! Story is told when Uganda was faced with acute shortage of FOREIGN EXCHANGE, and every time Amin was told they couldn't buy this, or that, because of Foreign Exchange. Amin got so pissed off and told Maliyamungu to go and "ARREST THIS FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND HAVE HIM SHOT IMMEDIATELY"! These Africans think SOVEREIGNITY IS BUILT ON LEGAL DOCUMENTS AND POLITICAL STATEMENTS! Reason African Countries easily COLLAPSE! TRUE INDEPENDENCE/SOVEREIGNTY, is grounded in ECONOMIC AUTONOMY AND FISCAL HEALTH of a Country. Once a Country depends on FOREIGN CAPITAL, it necessarily loses SOVEREIGNTY! SOVEREIGNTY is anchored on capacity to produce and sustain an INDEPENDENT ECONOMY, not PARLIAMENTARY KWALA-KWALA! Seems we haven't learned from mistakes of the past when Kwame Nkrumah declared:"SEEK YE FIRST THE POLITCAL KINGDOM..."; doesn't work that way. It is SEEK YE FIRST THE ECONOMIC KINGDOM, AND ALL ELSE SHALL BE ADDED UNTO YOU"! Use this political independence to build ECONOMIC SOVEREIGNTY; everything then will fall into place.

I love Claude 😁❤️

🚨Pastor Philip speaks on a Muslim seeing Christ in him during business deal!

@Ihunanya_chi One of my favourite quotes about Christianity. " Deny yourself and carry your cross daily if you're to follow me" - The Christ himself (Mark 8:34)

🚨Breaking news!! I am starting to question Christianity ❗️ Nobody really told me this is what Christianity is about 😭 I honestly didn’t understand what I was signing up for, and now I’m starting to question my whole decision of becoming a true Christian. Nobody told me that once you become a true Christian, you get “assigned” to the Holy Spirit, like He just moves in and becomes the landlord of your whole life. And this Landlord? Ah. Too many rules 😭 “Don’t do this.” “Don’t say that.” “Don’t even think it.” Excuse me?? Even my thoughts are now under surveillance?? Nobody told me anger will now be illegal. Before, I used to express myself freely 😌 Now it’s: “Be calm… be patient… pray for them…” Pray for who?? The same person that annoyed me?? 😭 Nobody told me small lie will now feel like I committed a federal crime. Before, it was “just a tiny lie.” Now my conscience is shouting like police siren 🚨 Nobody told me I can’t even enjoy my old lifestyle in peace again. The same things I used to do freely now come with instant guilt package. Nobody told me gossip will turn into prayer request. Before: “Come let me tell you what she did…” Now: “Father Lord, bless her and guide her…” God abeg 😭 Nobody told me when someone offends me, instead of showing them my full Jezebel reaction, I’ll just smile like a customer care agent, pray silently, and walk away. Who trained me like this?? Nobody told me if I don’t pray or read my Bible, my whole day will feel somehow, like something is missing, like I forgot my Inhaler at home. I won’t rest until I pray. Nobody told me humility will just land on my head like this. Me that used to carry pride like designer bag, now I’m humble like someone applying for a visa 😭 Nobody told me some places I used to enjoy, like clubs, will now feel like I mistakenly entered another planet. I’ll just be there like: “What am I even doing here?” Honestly… nobody told me I won’t even be able to sin in peace again 😭 Now every day is: “Try again.” “Do better.” “Grow.” Ah. Nobody told me oo… but somehow… I can’t even go back 😅 I LOVE IT📌

@KiberuJimmy In Uganda senior officials accused of corruption remain in power and are usually reappointed or promoted.

Things normal to Ugandans&bizzare to outsiders: -Army performing normal police work&fusion with state agencies -A cabinet full of 1st Family kin&kindred -Army CDF as HE's biological son -Army playing centre stage role in electoral affairs -Imperial presidency -State of roads Add

@VNabitaka @cobbo3 Enemies of progress

@cobbo3 You wonder what type of people come up with these things

Uganda’s proposed Sovereignty Bill is the ONLY law in the world openly attempting something this sweeping: it legally turns its own citizens abroad into “foreigners”. The Bill is explicit. A “foreigner” includes “Ugandan citizens residing abroad”. That single clause redraws the boundary of citizenship. It means diaspora money, relationships, and even family support can fall under foreign control rules. So the implications are not abstract. -A mother in Mbale receiving school fees from her son in London. -A boda boda rider in Gulu financed by a brother in Dubai. -A small shop in Mbarara stocked using capital sent from Boston. All could, in theory, fall under foreign influence rules. Then the net widens. The definition of an “agent of a foreigner” includes anyone “directly or indirectly… financed or subsidised” by a foreigner. Not directed. Not controlled. Simply funded. -A journalist paid by a locally registered outlet that receives donor support. -A researcher on a project with partial foreign grants. -An NGO worker whose salary traces back, however distantly, to external funding. All can be classified as “agents”. Clause 22 then imposes a hard ceiling: “a cap on foreign funding of approximately UGX 400 million within any twelve-month period”, beyond which ministerial approval is required. So: -A private hospital built with diaspora investment. -A school supported by an international foundation. -A construction firm using a foreign loan. Then comes the sharpest edge. -Clause 13 creates the offence of economic sabotage, criminalising anyone who “publishes information… that weakens or damages the economic system”. So: -A newspaper reporting a currency slide. -An analyst warning about debt stress. -A civil society group highlighting inflation pressures. Even if accurate, such reporting could fall foul of the law. Finally, Clause 5 prohibits activities that promote foreign interests “against the interests of Uganda”, a phrase the law does not define. Put together, these clauses do something unprecedented. -They do not just regulate foreign influence. -They redefine who is foreign. -They extend control from politics into everyday economic and social life. In most countries, including Ethiopia and Ethiopia, sovereignty laws manage outsiders. Here, Uganda redefined outsiders to include its citizens, basically rewriting the 1995 constitution. Of course it’s in the preparatory and consultation stage and could change for better - or WORSE!

@kasujja @LoukmanAli Very nice

We are working with some truly talented Ugandan audio/visual geniuses! @LoukmanAli - big yourself up for this brilliant piece of work. Come let’s work for Uganda!

Israeli police brutality can hit in seconds. Knowing how to avoid it is the difference between walking away free — or getting beaten, arrested, or worse, shot. A new video breaks it down... (Rogatka)

@Bifurcation01 @israelnewspulse @paengineer Your history is very misled

@israelnewspulse @paengineer Why label this Nazi when it was Bolshevik, and the Bolshevik were led by whom? Of course a propaganda arm of Israel once again projects the blame. Always take what is said by Zionists and flip it 180 to get the truth.

The Turkish Nazi Regime: Over 1.5 million Armenians were systematically killed during the Armenian Genocide in just 3 years between 1915-1918, yet Turkey still refuses to acknowledge it. Denial does not erase history. Accountability matters, truth matters, and honoring the victims matters.

The “Christians are anti-science rubes” line is getting old. And it just got blown out of the sky, literally. Meet Victor Glover, pilot of Artemis II. This dedicated man of faith just completed the first crewed mission around the Moon since 1972. While looking back at the Earth from deep space, he didn’t have a crisis of faith. He said the view reinforced his belief in creation. And he’s not new to this. Glover has already taken communion cups and a Bible into space on previous missions. He’s been open about his faith the entire time. He’s not the first either. Back in 1968, the Apollo 8 crew, the first humans to leave Earth orbit and circle the Moon, read from the book of Genesis on live television on Christmas Eve. “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth…” Millions heard it. The world didn’t collapse. Science didn’t shatter. The mission succeeded. Funny how the guys literally orbiting the Moon never got the “faith equals dumb” memo. Real faith lasts under pressure while the “Christians are anti-science” stereotype crumbles. The same people who mock believers as backward rubes have no answer for the long line of men and women of faith who have pushed the frontiers of science and exploration precisely because they believed the universe was orderly, intelligible, and created by a rational God. From the Apollo 8 crew reading Genesis to Victor Glover carrying Scripture and communion into lunar orbit, the pattern is clear. The more some people see of the cosmos, the more convinced they become that it didn’t just happen by accident. This is what real faith looks like. Not the version that hides from hard questions or fears the data. The version that looks at the Earth from 240,000 miles away and sees the hand of the Creator even more clearly. The version that carries a Bible into space because the same God who hung the stars is the same God who hung on the cross. To every atheist who loves to trot out the “anti-science” insult. The evidence keeps stacking up against you. The men and women who have actually left the planet and looked back don’t seem to agree with your narrative. And to every believer who’s ever been mocked for holding both faith and reason, keep going. Keep exploring. Keep speaking truth when they ask. The King who set the stars in place is the same King who rose from the grave. He is risen. He is risen indeed. All glory to the King who made the heavens and the earth, and who still calls men and women of faith to the very edge of it.
