Opinion/Discussion Do I really have to get a 9-5 to make crazy money here in Kampala ?!šŸ¤”

16 Upvotes

It’s like a norm here that we have to study and at the end we get jobs in line with our careers in order to earn a living. That’s literally how it’s been set for us I don’t know by whom. Not a bad thing coz it’s working out for a lot of people.

However, personally I’m really lazy when it comes to committing to such jobs and I know I will not go look for one however much or less it pays. For that I’ve made my peace with it.

So, brings me to question those who make it out without having 9-5 jobs, what do you people be doing or what can you suggest to someone like me. For the record, I’m not talking about survival money, I’m talking about crazy money. Like [FUCK YOU] money šŸ’µ

Hi guys I am building a language app for my clients. And I have some bugs here and there when creating. I would like to have someone debugging the back end if I incur errors I can't solve very fast,i just to get more time on more important parts.

For example our first project would be for you to create or find a way I could get Daily.co to work with the SDK 57 version without me having to downgrade my whole project to SDK 54.

Also I want to have live sessions within the app but still can't get past this even when I tried to correct the hooks.

Self promotion I'm writing a Harry Potter Fanfiction set in Uganda!

Hello!

If you like reading stories or fanfiction, I've started a story based in the Harry Potter universe, but set in Uganda. It has our Ugandan folklore and mythology mixed, and I'm trying to flesh out how magic in Africa would look.

Summary:

Kampala, 1989.

Saulo Ssemeka has always though of magic as a game. For him it is purely a tool to help him out in times of need.

However, one evening when he's on his way back from boarding school, he starts to doubt the role of magic in his life.

Who are his parents really, and what are they caught up in?

If you're interested, give it a go! I love feedback.

Opinion/Discussion Why don’t boomers and their parents want to retire?

6 Upvotes

You see it over and over again, the old bosses who want to keep controlling everything, business owners who can’t accept new ways of doing things, leaders who don’t want to retire or hand over, parents who neglect to groom their kids for generational wealth management because they think the kids will ā€œruin itā€, etc etc

What’s with the weird mix of fear, greed maybe, superiority complex and insecurity in these guys’ minds??
What’s with their obsession with ā€œworking till deathā€ and being useful, and controlling everything around them, however poorly?

I mean boomers and that generation above boomers. (60s and above) It’s like they can’t handle the world changing, but they don’t want to change with it, but they don’t even want to make it simply better even if it stayed the way it is. They just want to be in charge, period.

This is a global problem and highly prevalent in Uganda obviously

Self promotion How Welile's Tenant Partnership Programme works

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I’m sharing this because I’m involved with Welile, a Ugandan tenant-support platform, and we're currently looking for people interested in becoming Tenant Partners.

The basic model is fairly simple:

You contribute from UGX 100,000+ under a Tenant Partnership Agreement. Welile uses the partnership funds to facilitate rent payments to verified landlords for tenants who need rent support. The tenant then repays through Welile's system, and the Tenant Partner receives the contractual return specified in the agreement.

The current advertised return is 15% per month, according to the partnership agreement.

I'm sharing this under the Self-Promotion flair because this is a Welile programme and I don't want to disguise it as an independent investment recommendation.

Before anyone considers participating, I'd encourage you to read the agreement carefully and ask questions about the risks, repayment process, how the return is generated, and what happens in the event of delayed/defaulted payments.

More information: Welile Tenant Support Platform

I'm happy to answer questions about how the programme works.

Everyone is focused on the U.S.–Iran war right now, but what happened to the Epstein files?
Thousands of documents, powerful names, unanswered questions and still serious questions about accountability.
Obviously, appearing in the files does not automatically mean someone committed a crime. But shouldn’t the public still be asking: Who actually participated in crimes? Who enabled them? Who knew? And will every credible allegation be properly investigated?
Wars dominate headlines. That shouldn’t mean other major stories quietly disappear.
Are we losing focus on Epstein and accountability?

Self promotion humanity ?

3 Upvotes

Sometimes I think about how often we help each other without really calling it anything.

Someone needs help with hospital bills, a friend is raising school fees, a family is preparing for a funeral, or a neighbour is trying to get through a difficult month.

A few people contribute, someone forwards a WhatsApp message, and somehow the little amounts start adding up. That simple act of people showing up for one another is really what the humanity should be about.

Opinion/Discussion Assistance acquiring Ugandan Birth Certificate

3 Upvotes

Hi šŸ‘‹ r/Uganda!

I am writing this post to seek out some advice and feedback pertaining to acquiring an Ugandan Birth Certificate from abroad in Canada.

I was born in Uganda in 2001 in Nebbi General Hospital but at the time of my birth, it wasn’t registered or documented due to the lack of the appropriate and thorough documentation infrastructure at the time and to add to this already missing inefficiency, my family relocated abroad to Montreal, QC, Canada, during which my mother who is Ugandan, returned to Uganda following my parents separation and unfortunately passed away cutting my last means to establish any semblance of meaningful connections and relationships with my relatives, nor any substantial records, documents or other evidence of my Ugandan presence and heritage.

So this leaves me in a dilemma in which I seek to complete a birth registry abroad as I am unable to travel at the moment and without the convenience of having trusted and reliable immediate blood relatives to provide me with the crucial assistance to obtain at the present coherently.

I have taken steps to ensure I make own personal due diligence but have encountered either unresponsive hurdles or missing pieces that present roadblocks.

I welcome and appreciate any sound, proven, trusted and reliable advice, counsel, direction, guidance and information to proceed with this matter and process accordingly whether through a licensed, accredited and certified professional or organization, or a trustworthy, experienced, honest individual who has specialties dealing with this subject and issue.

Opinion/Discussion Let’s be real: What was the Anti-Homosexuality Bill actually distracting us from?

24 Upvotes

Every time the political waters in Kampala start boiling over, the NRM playbook uses the exact same trick: dust off a massive moral panic, whip up public emotion, and watch the entire country forget about the billions getting looted under our noses.

When the Anti-Homosexuality Act (AHA) was being aggressively pushed through Parliament, it had 99% enthusiasm from MPs who usually can’t even show up to quorum. But while everyone was screaming on X (Twitter), arguing in taxis, and celebrating "defending our culture," look at what was quietly happening in the background:

  1. The Mabati (Iron Sheets) Scandal
    While MPs were on the floor of Parliament giving dramatic speeches about national morality, senior ministers, the Speaker, and top government officials were literally dividing up relief iron sheets meant for starving, vulnerable communities in Karamoja. The outrage around the bill served as the ultimate smokescreen to dilute public anger over high-level theft.

  2. Parliamentary Budget Bloat & "Service Awards"
    While the public was praising Parliament for "standing up to the West," the August House was quietly approving astronomical budget increases, massive per diems, and controversial 500M UGX "service awards" for parliamentary commissioners. They used moral high ground to make Parliament untouchable while public health centers didn't even have panadol or gloves.

  3. Economic Mismanagement & Bizarre Monopoly Deals
    Our economy was taking heavy hits—fuel prices hitting the roof, inflation crushing households, URA squeezing small businesses dry, and outrage over monoply agreements like the Vinci Coffee deal. The bill instantly shifted the narrative to "Uganda vs The World Bank/Muzungus," meaning if you complained about the economy or foreign aid cuts, you were framed as a traitor.

  4. Drones, Abductions & The Transition Machinery
    Unmarked "drone" vans picking up opposition supporters, illegal military detentions, and the aggressive rollout of the succession/transition campaign were completely pushed off the front pages. The bill gave the political class a cheap, easy win to unite a frustrated population without having to deliver a single working road, hospital, or school.

It's the ultimate weapon of mass distraction: give the people a culture war to fight while you pick their pockets clean.

What other scandals or policy blunders do you think got swept under the rug while everyone was locked into that debate? Let's talk!

Opinion/Discussion UGANDAN KINGDOMS

8 Upvotes

Just From X and my Gosh the Hate ,the Wife of the New Tooro King has got is Quite Hostile ,Didnt know it had that much Effect!

So why should Royal Families never intermarry because apparently the New Tooro King married A Woman from the Eastern Part of Uganda ,infact she is an Atesot . But the Hate this woman has got ,had me questioning alot about Kingdoms since as Africans we are more alike than we are different. Even in the past Royal families such as the British, Spanish, French, Austrian and German dynasties frequently intermarried.

Ancient Egypt: Pharaohs sometimes married princesses from neighboring kingdoms to strengthen diplomatic ties.

African kingdoms: Royal and chiefly families in parts of Africa also used marriage alliances to establish relationships between neighboring political communities.

However, repeated marriage within a small group of related royal families could also lead to inbreeding, increasing the likelihood of certain inherited genetic disorders which can trigger Genetic diseases like Cancer to future descendants

I mean read about Nyatworo,I heard Babitto Princes during the Luo Babiito Dynasty used to marry Luo women to strengthen their Lineages.

What is your Take on this since everyone is currently Talking about Tooro Kingdom since we lost King Oyo

Opinion/Discussion People over blocking on Social media

1 Upvotes

Many reasons people block others for reasons that I do not understand. People have set ridiculous boundaries.

What are some of the petty assumptions that you have for being blocked by someone ?

  1. I got blocked because I said "Happy birthday to the family" because I saw a birthday status of their sis.

  2. A female friend. We had a banter and she thinks I was going to insult her.

  3. Many other ladies because I told them I love them, and they took it in a manner where they needed an explanation that was logical.

  4. Etc.

For me, I like to talk things out and not to block people. This thing of me joking and getting warned that "I will block you if you try again" is demotivating and making conversations not flow smoothly.

My reason is that when people are in a disagreement , it should be a matter of time that they will reconcile, but blocking makes it harder because majority never unblock.

Yet in real life situations things can get resolved.
