The new Coronavirus, which causes COVID-19, is an invisible, democratic and non-sectarian disabler and killer. It has, so far, picked out princes and paupers, doctors and doormen, managers and mailmen, prime ministers and prostitutes, the young and restless, the ...

#Coronavirus #COVID19 #Uganda #Museveni

COVID-19: 1. As of today, there is no effective treatment for this virus. Greedy people will try to sell you cures etc. Please remember the lies that were merchandised in the early years of HIV/AIDS - including Nnalongo's "anointed soil" in Masaka; the steroids by self-styled ...

Many virus infections have found great partnership with commercial air travel. A sneeze and a sniffle (what President Yoweri Museveni calls “sneezing in”) in China are quickly felt in far off lands. Since the first reported case of COVID-19 on our continent ...

Why I dislike handshakes and hate handkerchiefs

By Muniini K. MuleraMarch 16, 20200 comments

#Handshake #handkerchief #BakigaBanyankore #greeting #coronavirus

Out of the darkness, a ray of hope. The coronavirus pandemic, though potentially serious, brings me hope that perhaps humanity may discard two archaic habits that cause me personal pain. First, the handshake. Dirty. Dangerous. For the most part, unnecessary. Supposedly a ritual ...

#Uganda #Tumukunde #fear #Museveni #Mukula

Sunny morning in Toronto, albeit the chill of late Winter discourages a much-desired stroll along the shores of Lake Ontario, the smallest of the five Great Lakes of North America. We content ourselves with bright rays of sunshine streaming into our house. It is not the real ...

We give glory to God for Dr. Stephen Samuel Kaziimba Mugalu, the new Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, and for the former archbishop, Stanley Ntagali, whom we hope to see continuing his work of evangelism. Archbishop Kaziimba’s to-do-list must be a very ...

Benoni Biraaro: epitome of a great army general

By Muniini K. MuleraFebruary 18, 20200 comments

#Biraaro #Uganda #UPDF #Museveni

In the days gone by, the great poets of Ankole would have already composed ebyevugo (heroic recitations) in praise of Buta bwa Biraaro bya Kagina. Not because of his exploits in the heroic struggle in the jungles of Luwero or his military valor in the post-1986 combat zones inside ...

#Moi #Kenya #dictatorship #Africa

The death of a person is a sad moment. It reminds us of our mortality and forces us to reflect on life’s meaning. The death of Daniel Toroitich arap Moi, Kenya’s former ruler, has saddened me more deeply than I thought it would. No, not because he has died. At ...

I have just been informed moments ago by an eyewitness that a TRINITY bus from Rwanda to Kampala has caught fire somewhere between Masaka and Mpigi. The person who sent me this video said that the fire extinguisher did not work. Praise God everyone seems to have got off the bus and ...
