The age limit that ugly monster An age limit is the oldest or youngest age at which you are allowed under particular regulations to do something. And what does it mean to be limited because of your age. This is a subject that has occupied Ugandans since age limit was lifted from Uganda’s constitution some years ago to allow the president to stand past the constitutional prescribed age of 75 years. Recently army, police and prisons departments were recruiting prospective officers into their forces.   For the police and prisons age limit seems to have been set at a cut off of 22years. Beyond that age you failed the test your physical, mental and academic prowess notwithstanding.   Because of high levels of unemployment and limited opportunities, young people saw this as an opportunity to get into formal employment and escape poverty. But the requirements were clearly posted. Education, health, age among others. Well, Ugandans being who they are, these youths thoug...

TEARS OF JUSTICE AND EQUITY Hello “Papa“ Thank you for being there, but listen to this coming from my heart You came as an unwelcome visitor, promised me you would stay for 4hours and now you have extended your welcome beyond 33hours, I don’t like it. Your stay is causing me discomfort and you can see it in my eyes. You can see it in the way I communicate with you. You can see it in the way we sit at table. You can see it in the way I am getting impoverished keeping you buxom. You can see it from the way you keep shifting your talk. You can see it in the way I struggle to keep my children at school. You can see it in the way I suffer keeping myself healthy. You can see it in the way recklessness is engulfing my village. You can see it in the way people including strangers discuss our relation in hushed tones. You can see it in the way my children are having no future in their own home. You can see it in the way strangers are cl...

NRM Airbus 380-2021 heavy departure from 2019 Pilot, we will work as a team and look after each other. Ready for departure briefing? Co-pilot Ok. Departing from Runway paka last 19 right our route is CRPTION 7RKR till 2021ft or 5miles, till way point BOU “whichever is later”. Followed by a left turn 180west. In case of an engine failure we continue straight for 25miles. We climb 4,500ft just to be safe. We are quite heavy today to land back, we would have to dump some cash. As for aborting take-off, we are close to our limits. As we pick up speed reasons for aborting diminish. In the end it is either engine fire or failure or not flyable. Ok (co-pilot).   The doors in the rear are almost closed. It is looking good. The weather report says; light shower, variable at one. Temperature is 25-32degrees quite hot for this time of the year. (Co-pilot inputs weather report into the plane computer). We are all set (pilot). We are scheduled for 30minutes past the hour due to t...

message to frauleine/herrn facebook hello fraulein/herr facebook, you are always asking me what is on my mind. well today I am feeling cold and hungry because the system has decided that my ilk have to go hungry and cold. mein lieber freundin/freund, is this fair that some people's bellies bulge while mine keeps going towards my back. just tell me. on the one hand my belly retracting is a good thing but problem is I am paying for other people's bellies to bulge and distend nearly 50cm from their original positi on. and when they fall sick as is always the case with hanging bellies I pay taxes to lift them to Deustchland, Schweiz, Sweden, USA, Canada, China je nach ihre geschmack. I am totally tired and exhausted of carrying that weight so I kindly request you that you pass my complaint to them and let them know that it is very unfair to continue loading a citizen as if he were a donkey. moreover they are not ashamed to go and print money at my cost without telling me and wh...

BE WARY OF AUTHORITY EXCERCISED WITHOUT RESPONSIBILITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY If there is anybody in this country who wishes that Ugandan citizens die, it is politicians of all shades, colors and tribes. Let us agree from the on-set that burial ceremonies are not a forum for articulating political ambitions as Ugandan politicians of all “ilk” would like us to believe. Nor are they forums for self exaltation, showing off wealth (both material and financial), where “mourners” passively congregate to witness lavishness sit in the hot sun and clap as the show goes on albeit sometimes in a strange language. Burial ceremonies have been turned into episodes where politicians show off their power/authority with little consideration of their day to day responsibility and accountability to us the spectators of the tragedy that has engulfed us and continues to do so in leaps and bounds.   They are gatherings where lies are regurgitated without regard to those who know that such lies have b...
