Maybe Ugandans keep organising marathons in anticipation of running out of the country when the need arises.

ZOKA FOREST isn’t just “trees”. It’s Uganda’s wild coffee gene bank. Protecting Zoka Forest is protecting coffee jobs for the next generation. Zoka Coffee Fact = 1 coffee tree genes could save 1 million coffee farms, hence more than a million jobs secured. This is ZOKA FOREST!

No one can ever poverty shame me out of using a basin to bath🤣. Do you know how nice it is to pour all the remaining watet on your head after.? Until I find a device for that, my green basin and I are in a committed marriage.

I am now sure there will be no point when we will say “enough is enough”. We are a hopelessly stupid lot 🙌🏼

There is not much talking now. A silence falls upon them all. This is no time to talk of hedges and fields, or the beauties of any country. Sadness and fear and hate, how they well up in the heart and mind, whenever one opens pages of these messengers of doom. Cry for the broken tribe, for the law and the custom that is gone. Aye, and cry aloud for the man who is dead, for the woman and children bereaved. Cry, the beloved country, these things are not yet at an end. The sun pours down on the earth, on the lovely land that man cannot enjoy. He knows only the fear of his heart. Alan Paton, Cry, the Beloved Country.

This was a formal 1 year contract complete with a public service number and salary scale for Junior House Officers (Medical Interns) until the government caused the current confusion! @YN_BUDDU @DukeofKyagaju @DrGavJoe @RubabindaJr @MirembeDr @HilderKoriang @ekwaroobuku

Curaçao, currently playing Germany in Houston, Texas, in the 2026 World Cup, is the smallest nation (by both population and land area) ever to qualify for the tournament. With a population of around 156,000–185,000 and a land area of just 444 km² (171 square miles), they surpass previous records held by Iceland (2018). The next smallest nation at the 2026 tournament is Cape Verde. This is Curaçao’s first World Cup appearance. Around 85% of Curaçaoans are of African descent, primarily descendants of enslaved Africans brought there by the Dutch West India Company from the mid-17th century onwards (mainly from West Central Africa, the Bight of Benin, and Ghana). Many intermingled over time with European, indigenous, and other ancestries. Colonialists and slavers were easily the most consequential architects of most modern states — often unintentionally through greed-driven exploitation rather than grand design. The transatlantic slave trade and European colonialism reshaped demographics, economies, languages, and borders across entire continents. They didn’t set out to build or change nations. They were greedy, interested primarily in making a buck — sugar, salt, trade, and profit. History is full of such unintended consequences on a massive scale.

I saw a post on Reddit that said that “The underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.” And I don’t think I’ve ever seen AI described so incisively.

This is what the other guy wanted to do.

Erythema ab igne, sometimes called "toasted skin syndrome," is a benign dermatological condition caused by chronic and repeated exposure to heat.

When I first became a parent to boys, all I hoped for was that they would grow up surrounded by love, care, stability, and happiness. Over the years, they have grown into kind, caring, funny, thoughtful young men, and I couldn’t be prouder of them. But parenting teenage boys has taught me something I didn’t fully appreciate when they were little. As boys grow older, they start testing boundaries. They question rules. They push back. They want more independence. Sometimes they seem absolutely convinced that their parents know nothing at all. And while love remains essential, I’ve come to realise that boys also benefit from hearing certain messages from other voices they respect—people who can reinforce values, challenge excuses, model responsibility, and sometimes say exactly what mum has been saying all along, but in a way that lands differently. It has made me reflect on something simple: We spend years making sure our boys are educated but, how much time do we actually spend intentionally preparing them for manhood? Who is helping them navigate responsibility, relationships, resilience, emotional intelligence, character, and purpose? Who is helping prepare them for adulthood and for the harsh world out there? I’d love to hear from parents, mentors, educators, and young men themselves. What experiences, conversations, or people had the greatest impact on helping you become the person you are today? And for parents, what has raising teenage boys taught you? #Sharedstories #RisingSonsAfrica #BuildingBoysShapingMen #MentorshipMatters

Seems the only thing they can attack is fellow Africans... Didn't see any attacking impetus from them

Just so that we are clear. This is a slightly edited version of my previously shared article, in which I make a case for the compensation of work done by medical interns, after describing how different it is from the other types of internship.

The Dr Matthew Lukwiya story you never hear about. A few days ago, I saw someone talking about Heroes Day and mentioned Dr. Lukwiya among them. It made me realise that most of us know him simply as the doctor who died treating Ebola patients at Lacor Hospital in 2000, and not much else. I felt slightly guilty for not knowing more about a man who seems to transcend history, so I went looking for the full story of Dr. Matthew Lukwiya. What I found was a man who had spent the twenty years before Ebola practising exactly the kind of courage that the outbreak would eventually demand of him. This is what many of us didn’t know about Dr. Matthew, as he was lovingly called. 1/10

In 2021, in the middle of Covid-19 lockdown, alone on duty, this nurse, Sylvia Nyangoma single handedly helped to deliver mothers of 126 babies, attended to 17 referral cases, and registered zero deaths at Bugoigo health centre II in Buliisa district. #Unsungheroes

Sebo Dr. @SpireJim , on this Heroes Day, I celebrate and appreciate you for using your education, voice, and talent for the betterment of our country. While many educated people choose submission and others remain silent, you chose to speak. Your cartoons carry powerful messages and inspire reflection. Happy Heroes Day, sir.

My greatest disappointment as an adult was discovering that bad people get away with everything.

This bro was from the future then ☹️
