I didn’t know that getting an F9 in maths at O level education means one cannot be a leader. I got an F9 so Bobi is not alone. Hopefully the case doesn’t go to a judge who also got an F9 in maths 😂😂. I could not keep finding X as if I am the one who hid it.

CJ Owiny-Dollo never attacked Baganda.He said his main friends are Baganda. He only said there is a young&intolerant group trying to set the agenda of Buganda antagonistically. He urged true opinion leaders in Buganda to speak out&call them 2 order.The rest is now politics.

Uganda’s bigger problem is not NRM. Not NUP. Not FDC. These can be sorted. The silent and dangerous enemy is the growing culture of not wishing anyone to progress in any way. It’s breaking Uganda at the core- social fabric.

It’s in Uganda where an employer wakes up in the morning , fires all staff and recruits others. In serious societies, govt &civil society would not tolerate it. All staff can’t be wrong and the employer is right. Covid19 is no excuse for blatant abuse & disrespect of workers.

Dstv is on self-destruct mode. You can take clients for granted but the day they give up , books will not balance. The idea should be to attract more clients not chasing away. Increasing prices nearly after every 6 months is a sign of strategy gone wrong.
