Here is a good Ugandan story I must tell! Yesterday (Sunday) evening I transacted at an ATM at Total Kyanja, but I only picked the card and drove away. I was exhausted and distracted. When I reached my destination, I realized I didn’t have the money and surely I must have left

Am a very happy parent! My askari (guard) scored 13 points!!! Am teary! Context: I asked someone to get me a guard. When he reported, I realized he was young. We chatted about education & agreed he goes school & that I’d pay fees! Just as we’d done with the househelp. Am glad!🕺

Kampala people! Simple question: What’s your tribe? Them: My dad is a Muganda, my mum is a Mukiga, but I grew up with my grandma in Busoga that’s why am fluent in Ateso. 😂😂😂😂 Standard response.

A Ugandan chef, Dorcus Kirabo, commonly known as Mama D, @Mama_d256, is trying to break a world cooking record, by doing a “marathon” of cooking spanning several hours non-stop. She’s preparing different meals, serving the food to mostly urban poor and supporters. Here to cheer

Hey @mtnug, For a number of calls to my phone number, someone else is picking up and speaking to my callers! Meanwhile in all calls, I can hear the callers but not the other party. Who is that other party? Is my phone number compromised? CC: @UCC_Official

We are NOT your grandchildren!! And for goodness’ sake, stop with your patronizing long speeches and history! If you want to teach, get a USE school. Ooops, you’re past retirement age!! Ugandans are NOT your children. We are CITIZENS, and you owe us a duty, not patronage!!

Someone asked her “not to include politics in her content” - basically she should be twerking and joking like other TikTokers from here, right? “The politics is personal, the personal is political”! The day we appreciate that “everything falls on leadership” we will be better

We all know Umeme has been horrible and even at their departure they want to go out with a huge cheque of our borrowed money, but 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can only laugh because things are about to get worse! The writing is on the wall. It’s like shutting down all private schools
