Ok I'll say it, even if I lose karma.

I'm not against people who actually fought. Luweero happened, people died, nobody serious denies that. My problem is how it's used as a trump card in every single conversation. Question the budget, "we went to the bush." Ask why your cousin with a first class degree is jobless, "we went to the bush."

It's not even just us complaining on Reddit. Col (rtd) James Mwesigye, a commissioner for RDCs, said last November that the "we went to the bush" chapter is nearing its end, and admitted the liberation identity has at times created a sense of superiority among some officials. When someone inside the system admits that, kati what are we even arguing about. This is the same man who encouraged civil servants to openly support the President, which is not exactly what the public service code says.

Then Mzee himself, campaigning in Lango in December, was reminding people he cleared Ojuku, Kony, Lakwena and the cattle rustlers, and complaining that those efforts aren't appreciated. Ssebo it's 2026. You can't keep sending the country an invoice for 1985.

What annoys me most is the land. Luweero residents told the Monitor that a man claiming to be a Bush War veteran and NRM cadre demolished Steven Mugambwa's house. In Luweero, of all places, where people actually suffered. The title is doing more work than the person.

And the real ordinary veterans? More than 5,000 of them have been camping at a primary school in Kiboga since 2017, waiting on compensation they say they were promised. So it's not even the guys who fought who are eating. It's the ones who talk loudest about it. Govt keeps saying Shs230 billion has been paid out, so where is it going?

So no, I don't hate veterans. I hate the card. Pay the ones in Kiboga, and stop using sacrifice as a title deed.

Title: Looking for a Part-Time News Presenter / Video Voice-Over Artist in Uganda

Post:

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a reliable and talented person to work with my monetized YouTube channel, Gika Media, which covers Ugandan entertainment news and trending stories.

I'm looking for someone who can either:

• Present and record news videos on camera, or
• Provide clear, engaging voice-overs for news videos.

The ideal person should understand Ugandan entertainment and trending stories, communicate clearly in Luganda and/or English, and be available for regular part-time work.

Payment will be agreed upon depending on experience and workload.

If you're interested, please comment or send me a message with a short sample of your work and your expected monthly payment. +256761590410

Thank you!

Been having a conversation with a friend this evening and she tells me this. Man! Where do fellow men get the confidence and guts to do such nonsense?

Are you people genuinely okay mentally? Or am i just not horny enough?

I’ve seen several posts here recently about the shilling’s slide against the dollar. On one, someone had a $1,000 payment to make for a February exam. I commented that the slide would be arrested if it continued, either by the central bank selling dollars from its reserves or by an emergency meeting that raised interest rates.

The slide continued, and policymakers stepped in. One route closed when the president vetoed it. The other opened today: the Bank of Uganda has raised its benchmark lending rate to 12 per cent. The linked article is a good account of the development.

(Update: today's MPC decision seems to have calmed forex markets. The dollar closed at a mid-rate of UGX3,951.05, after opening at UGX4,130.24.)

They be responding to my random thoughts here and then get pissed when I ask questions that require logical answers

Meanwhile I’m just trying to see if it’s worth it returning to Christianity or not

Do people have logical reasons for believing, or is it just typical foot-soldierism?

Are we the problem or our leaders are horribly myopic and corrupt?

So background story, I self diagnosed ADHD based on the stories in the ADHD sub and other personal research. Went to Butabika hospital to meet a psychiatrist and he legit told me ADHD is only for kids🤦🏾‍♂️ and just gave me a depression prescription instead.

I haven’t had the time to go for another diagnosis at a different place as I work two remote full time jobs and have school as well. Getting these meds OTC is a legit pain in the ass without a prescription but I see myself getting fired from work soon if I don’t get medication. Can barley focus on a task for more than one hour.

For school, my grades have been going downhill since A level and retakes at uni just keep coming because I can’t even focus to read for a few hours. Would really appreciate it!

Kind regards

Sometimes I wonder what our born in the powerful circles or Nepo babies are good at…That’s not an insult, honestly it’s been 40 years of power concentrated in one corner or same group….we have Nepotism children that have nepo grand children now….A huge number from different generations.

Many intelligent, skilled, gifted and talented Ugandans fail because of mainly one thing… lack of resources and funds to drive their dreams and then we have a certain few fellow Ugandans with everything in excess….

One can only need 20 million UGX only for a project that can create massive potential and impact…. another can spend that or more in a night or day…

Why is it that our privileged people only appear when spending or living lavishly?
I think they are in the best positions to create massive impact. They have better education and better access to resources.

Why don’t you guys just set up a fund, or venture capital studio, or even start up your own projects that can create opportunities for others too….

I loved the “speed ball” but we can do more and better projects…. If you can’t come up with your own ideas at-least support others…. Your financial muscle and influence can be the only piece of the puzzle remaining to create history or do something amazing.

You go to the best schools, have the best facilitation, best training and more but where does all that world class experience or knowledge acquired end up?

I usually do around 4–6 km, starting at about 5:30 PM. Would be great to find a jogging buddy or even a small group to keep each other motivated.

If you're around the area and interested, let me know!

Hello everyone,

I have a friend in Uganda who I have helped financially quite often in the past. He recently acquired some gold bars.

In the past he used to be very wealthy and he said he had these bars stored someplace but lost track of them. I sent him $40 the other month to have this gold tested for value.

He told me he would need to get them tested a week after I sent him that amount. Upon doing that he would sell them. He insisted he would send me money to thank him for all the times I helped him out in the past.

We hadn’t spoken in a few weeks.

I had honestly been expecting he would pay me back (he offered to) Now he says that he took the gold to get tested but it was tested and only 3 of the 12 bars were real gold.

Now he says he is being fined $500. If he doesn’t pay this amount he will be jailed.

Can anyone verify if this is how things go do in Ugandan courts? Can you be fined before any official charge is made.

I have the document attached here for reference. Thank you

I feel like I see way too many of them with one. What do you mean you're posting thirst traps with a cannula on?

Ladies and gentlemen, these are my thoughts on a Wednesday morning with a bunch of work I should be doing but I'm not. Screw you capitalism.

Lunch time between 1 - 8 pm there is less traffic on the road but why don't you travel at that time and wait for rush hours 😄

All those boda guys are busy at mama namu's place eating. And the other chilling in shades after eating alot of starchy food 🤗

You want to learn driving in town? Use that time ✌️

Picture up unrelated, you know 🙃🦒 drop one suitable 🤝

Isn’t today’s moon the most perfect little thing you’ve seen today 🥹
Who has a better angle

Make your post on the sub and you may just find someone to navigate this rocky world with.
Don't be shy to also forward the posts to someone not on Reddit you think might be what that person is looking for or vice versa.

Before posting, have a look through the flairs M4Frelationship and F4Mrelationship, you may find a match there.

If you've posted before, please don't post again.

Post guidelines:

1. State your age and sex
2. Description of yourself (upto you what you talk about e.g physical, hobbies)
3. What you're looking for.
4. Flairs: M4Frelationship/F4Mrelationship

That's it and you're good to go.

There’s no real reason for religious places not to pay tax, unless there is a political agenda behind their exemption

Considering they spend little to no money on production costs of hope, it only seems fair that Caesar should finally be given what belongs to him.

URA is busy crying yet there is a whole industry here that has proven to be highly profitable

If entertainers, artists, and hospitals are taxed for doing basically the same thing religious institutions do, it’s only fair that everyone contributes equitably to saving our economy, right?

The last two are my favourite....

Lemon Eucalyptus

Lemon eucalyptus (Corymbia citriodora) is best known for its lemon-scented leaves and oil.

World Worth Estimates range from about $700 million to $850 million for lemon eucalyptus oil only without other products

Main uses Insect repellent: Its oil contains citronellal and PMD (para-menthane-3,8-diol), which is the active ingredient in many commercial mosquito repellents. The refined PMD version is the one with solid evidence; raw essential oil is less reliable and shorter-lasting.

Aromatherapy and fragrance: The fresh citrus scent is used in diffusers, soaps, candles and cleaning products.

Natural cleaning and disinfecting: The oil has antibacterial and antifungal properties, so it appears in household sprays and surface cleaners. Muscle and joint rub: Diluted in a carrier oil, it's used as a warming massage oil for aches.

Steam inhalation: Traditionally used for congestion, similar to other eucalyptus species. Ornamental and shade tree: It grows tall with smooth, pale bark and is planted for shade, windbreaks and looks. It also gives off a lemony scent on warm days.

Timber: The wood is hard and durable, used for poles, fencing and general construction.

Bee forage: The flowers provide nectar and pollen for honeybees.

One year maturity (Fast growing) Grows anywhere in Uganda Cheap Qualifies for carbon credit Good on soil unlike other kinds of eucalyptus

For Essential oil Activated charcoal Carbon credit Pharmaceutical And more just do your research

I complain a lot about staying here but I love a peaceful morning listening to the city wake up

The mix of birds and highway noise is really soothing for me

Forget space rockets and warships… if we can get over greed and our natural instinct for colonizing,

Learning how to live in harmony with nature will be our greatest achievement as humans

Ever changed your name and found that the paperwork didn't follow?

It's amazing how one small detail on a document can hold up a big plan: a land transfer, a business deal, a visa, a bank loan. As a practising lawyer, I help sort out the legal side so you don't lose weeks to red tape.

What I can help with

• Change of name: statutory declarations, deed polls, gazette notices

• Change of company details:directors, shareholders, registered address, company name, and other filings

• Transfer and surrender of licences:business, professional, or regulatory licences, handled correctly from start to finish

• Land transfers:sale, gift, or inheritance, including due diligence, agreements, and registration

Whether you're an individual tidying up your records or a business restructuring, a clean paper trail now saves you real headaches later.

Every time I apply for something, I end up reworking my CV. Not rewriting it, just adjusting it.

For an NGO role, I take out the sales job I did on the side and push the volunteering and community work higher. For a bank, the volunteering shrinks and the finance course and the Excel certificate move up. For a tech role, half my certifications don't matter and the projects matter more. Some things never change: my education, my referees, my contact details. Others come and go depending on who's reading.

The result is a folder full of files like CV_final.docx, CV_final_NGO.docx, CV_final_NGO_v2.docx and CV_bank_USE_THIS.docx. When I change my phone number or finish a new milestone worth including in a CV, I have to remember which copies to update, and I always miss some. Sometimes I've opened an old version a week after applying and realized I sent the wrong one.

I want to work on something to make this less painful, but before going further I want to understand how other people actually deal with it, because maybe I'm the only disorganized one:

- Do you keep one "master" CV and cut it down each time, or separate versions per type of job?

- What do you usually add, remove or move around when tailoring? Whole sections, or individual jobs and certificates?

- How do you keep track of which version you sent where?

- When your details change (new job, new number, new qualification), how many files do you end up touching?

- What do you use? Word, Google Docs, Canva, an online builder, LinkedIn's PDF export?

Would genuinely love to hear how you handle it, especially if you've found a system that works.

I’m looking to bike on my road bike (30/32mm) from Kigali to Nairobi in December. Any recommendations for my route through Uganda? Curious about the road conditions around lake bunyonyi between Kampala and ninja, and around mt Elgon! Thanks
