The return of the Don!

Looking at his latest squad of technocrats, it’s apparent that the feisty President is not only making good on his promise to make America great again, but also, his second coming is clearly to judge the living, the dead, and the living-dead.

The bargain hunt at China Town superstore

The authorities, in a moment of sheer disbelief, and perhaps afraid that the monkey pox scourge would have a field day, had to close the store due to overcrowding. But that’s the sugarcoated mainstream version of the story. The backstory is that the irate local traders and manufacturers whipped up some high-end African voodoo—proudly sponsored by the top-notch services of a Nigerian witchcraft merchant—in a bid to destabilize their Chinese competitor. And from the looks of it, the African ancestors are working overtime.

Uganda’s Cheptegei for Speaker of Parliament!

After a decade-long illustrious career, Joshua Cheptegei hangs up his boots gloriously at the tender age of 27. That might be more inspiring than the entire contingent of 500-plus leeches—commonly known as MPs—and a half-century-old shipwreck government of seniles that seem to be allergic to retirement.

When the Secret Service got sloppy!

The world’s most loved and most hated man, former President Donald Trump, came within an eyelash of getting translated into the next dimension when an assassin’s bullet kissed his ear and almost blew his mind—quite literally!

UK’s sanctions on Uganda’s Speaker: when the iron sheet hit the fan!

As diplomatic tensions rise between the two nations, we’re left wondering whether the UK will eventually invite the Ugandan government to talk through the matter at a good-old English tea party, complete with delightfully baked cream and jam scones; or maybe—just maybe—Uganda will invite the UK government to a rolex fest at State House, Entebbe, where they’ll have a polite conversation and tactfully resolve their differences!

Kenya’s floods: climate change or divine judgement?

Critics point out that attributing the floods to divine involvement is not only unscientific, but also dangerous. They assert that the disaster is a result of climate change and poor infrastructure planning, and that the government should focus on implementing effective disaster management strategies and improving infrastructure, rather than engaging in debates about divine judgement.

The naked truth about Hollywood!

When actors play serial killers, pedophiles, or portray indecency and sexual perversion, chances are high that it’s much more than just entertainment you’re dealing with. It’s often that they’re subtly indulging you in a paradigm of what, in their view, an ideal society should be like.

What next after Valentine’s?

At its most basic level, love is an intense feeling of affection. On the other end of the spectrum, it’s that overwhelming feeling of rejection that’s sure to leave your sanity hanging by a thread. If you’re watching from the sidelines, Valentine’s day is the vehicle that will take you on a grand tour across both ranges.

How to be like Justice Julia Sebutinde!

On our way there, we make a number of pits stops to catch our breaths, appreciate the scenic surroundings and, like you guessed, take a few pictures for remembrance. It’s on one of these brief stops, halfway the journey, that we ran into a bunch of tourists. They’re heading back out of the game park. They’re quite friendly and seem eager to join us in our photo moment. After a few photos, we exchange pleasantries and inform them we’re from Uganda and, they—all three of them—say they’re from Israel.
