This is something to learn from those in events.
The cost of organising an event: Case Study: Africa Laughs Venue: Kololo Airstrip/ Serena Hotel 1. Venue Cost: Kololo - 50M, Serena - 25M 2. Production including Deco: 70-100M 3. Tent at Kololo - 25M 4. Floor Boarding at Kololo (Optional) - 25M 5. Artists - 40-60M (Both Local & International) 6. Flights - 25M 7. Accommodation - 7-10M 8. Advertising - 20M 9. Clearance & Permits: 5-10M 10. Welfare of Artists & Staff - 5M 11. Miscellaneous: 5M You roughly need 250 - 300M to pull of a successful concert If you Charge 100K, that about 2,500 to 3,000 People or you sell about 100 tables at 3M to break even, so you are at the mercy of Sponsors and Turn Up both of which usually don’t yield the numbers. But we got to do what we got to do. Everyone else gets paid 100% except the organiser . Basically we work for service providers 😭😭😭😭

The Little-Known Ugandan Tycoon: The Story of Patrick Lucky and Kalita Bus Patrick Lucky Atwooki was a quiet but incredibly driven businessman who transformed the transport sector in Western Uganda. Lucky did not start at the top. Before becoming a prominent transport mogul, he ran a simple bakery and a grocery shop in Fort Portal. In 1996, he entered the business world as a special hire taxi driver. He operated minivans on the Fort Portal to Kampala highway, laying the groundwork for what would become a massive empire. The major turning point in his career arrived in 1999 when he purchased his very first bus and named it Kalita. This bold move made him a pioneer, as it was the first large bus to ply the Fort Portal to Kampala route. Before Kalita, passengers relied on expensive and unpredictable taxis. Lucky introduced a reliable, affordable alternative that revolutionized how people moved across the region. By early 2000, he purchased several more buses, officially forming **Kalita Bus Transporters** and quickly dominating the market in the western part of the country. As the company grew, Kalita Bus Transporters expanded its reach far beyond its original path. Lucky opened routes connecting Kampala to Kamwenge, Bundibugyo, Kabale, Kisoro, and notably, the busy stretch to Kasese and Bwera. He even launched cross-border trips to Nairobi. Beyond simply moving people, Lucky became a vital economic pillar. He directly employed dozens of locals, offered valuable business counsel to upcoming entrepreneurs, and heavily supported local sports by funding football clubs and launching the Kalita Cup tournament. Despite his immense success, Patrick Lucky faced a devastating personal challenge. He battled throat cancer for over four years, frequently traveling to India for specialized medical treatment. His health steadily declined, but he continued to oversee his vast fleet of 50 buses. Tragically, he lost his fight against the disease and passed away on April 2, 2013, at the Mulago Hospital Cancer Institute. He was only 44 years old, leaving the business community in shock and mourning the loss of a true visionary. Patrick Lucky left behind his widow, Loy Kaganda, six children, and a business that forever changed Uganda's public transport landscape. While Kalita Bus Transporters faced management and mechanical challenges after his death, the foundation he built remains a testament to the power of hard work. He rose from a simple taxi driver to one of the most prominent fleet owners in the nation. His story serves as a powerful reminder of how local entrepreneurship can uplift entire communities. What is your favorite memory of traveling on a Kalita bus, or do you know of other local legends who built their empires from scratch? Drop a comment and share your thoughts below!

A message from AW the gunner legend
Arsene Wenger after the game: We reached the final and gave everything we had, but I cannot help feeling that the game was influenced by more than just the football. There were decisions that went against Arsenal at crucial moments, and from where I stand, two penalty incidents deserved much closer attention, especially the challenge on Saka in the second half. I am proud of this team. They showed courage, quality, character and the fighting spirit that Arsenal supporters expect. When you lose a Champions League final, it is painful. When key moments leave you with questions, the disappointment is even greater. Congratulations to PSG on winning the trophy. But I believe Arsenal deserved the opportunity to compete on equal terms until the very end. To the players: keep your heads high. Great teams are built through moments like this. Use the pain, learn from it, and come back stronger. COYG ❀️ #PSGARS #UCLFinal

It’s easy to dodge our responsibilities but we cannot dodge the consequences of dodging our responsibilities.

If you stay in Entebbe town and use public transport, you automatically learn to be a taxi conductor. #KamplaEntebbeFlyExpress

🚨 Paolo Maldini on the difference between defenders of his generation and today's generation: "In our generation, defenders were judged by how many goals they prevented. In today's generation, defenders are often judged by how many attacks they create." "We spent most of our training learning how to mark strikers, win duels, and read danger before it appeared. Modern defenders spend just as much time learning how to play like midfielders." "A defender from my era could have a great match without touching the ball much. Today, a defender may touch the ball a hundred times and become one of the most important players on the pitch." "Neither approach is better or worse. Our job was to stop football. Their job is to start it." "The game has evolved, but the greatest defenders in any generation are still those who know exactly when to defend and exactly when to play."

People are surprised that there are many passionate Arsenal fans in Uganda. I can't wait to see what they will do when they learn that Arsenal's official DJ and announcer is Ugandan?
