Internet Access is great, but access alone is no longer enough, Users have to fully maximize their presence online. We need to advocate for more local digital content, digital skills development and lower costs of gadgets & connectivity.
Trying way too much Mr. President. Focus on creating value for those young men who are doing this for money. Stop only focusing on cheap publicity for election purposes but understand their fears and struggles.
@HEBobiwine
is clearly giving you sleepless nights.
The problem I see with most “professionals” working to establish their careers (at least in Uganda) is that we lack the basic principle of consistency. You start out well, then along the way, you become mediocre. If you want to win - Make consistency your friend.
Beyond thrilled to be named one of the Most Influential People of African Descent under 40 (MIPAD100) Class of 2018. What an honor to represent Uganda!

My constant frustration with Uber or Safe Boda or any transport hailing app in Uganda is the constant need to explain where I'm going or where I am even when I clearly entered the location in the app. I will forgive à safe boda guy but not you Uber man.
Sometimes words fail me, the past weeks have demonstrated just how much work we still have to do to reclaim our Country. The unjust arrest and torture of

You can’t be a good leader if you are not a good follower. For all of you looking at getting into leadership positions, remember to humble yourself and learn from someone better than you.

It's perfectly fine to have varying opinions but we need to learn to disagree with respect. Opinions are a matter of choice. We can all choose our sides and move on. Stop being petty.

No, she doesn’t do this for business. She does this only for people she loves, as a hobby!
Assassinations, torture, and kidnaps have become the new normal. Now is NOT the time for another blunt speech to an already bleeding country. There's an urgent desire for true transformation AND true reform that will not be achieved by impulse responses in times of crisis.

Just a couple of questions. 1) Has this directive been circulated all over the country even in rural areas? 2) Has it been translated in local languages so our grandmothers and relatives who use WhatsApp know the implications?

Following the directive from the Government of Uganda, a new Tax is to be implemented on Over The Top (OTT) services effective 1st July 2018.

We say term limits are good, and people need to lead and leave, but we hold on to positions in our little associations. (Yes, you know I will call you out). We don't nurture and encourage new leadership. It needs to start with us.

We start exchanging tips on looking youthful and healthy living: 😀😀
We need to get to the point of measuring start-ups success by the “Amount of revenue generated” as opposed to “How much a start-up has raised”. Raising money and generating revenue through actual sells makes a whole lot of difference. Focus on the latter!
My heart bleeds so much about the constant murders happening in motherland. Each murder going unresolved. So many unanswered questions. So much injustice. These are real lives lost. Real dreams cut short. It hurts so bad. We can't normalize this.

Most of us say we love our Country. But really for most of us, when it comes down to the wire, to defend the ideologies that make our country great we seldom are present. The values, transparency, ethics that we require of our leaders need to start with us.

My real question: When are you publishing the current registration statistics for the upcoming election?

We must not accept this "new normal" it is not OK for every man or woman who stands up against injustice of any form to be silenced. This is unacceptable!! We, as a nation deserve better.

Everyone is suddenly an expert on CTPs ( cash transfer programs). Elite twitter is something else.
Guys, it’s ok to not have an opinion on everything! If you haven’t engaged any stakeholders or tried to do any CTP, sit this one out! I’m getting nausea!
The biggest downfall of most small businesses is growth. Small businesses seldom know how to deal with success. Don't spend money advertising & marketing for your business if you don't know how to handle the customers that walk into your door. Double edged sword.

We live who we believe we are. The standards that we set for ourselves ultimately define us. May you raise your standards because where goals fail, you will always get your standards. Happy New Year.
If I hear the “1986 comparisons” again, I will shoot myself! Move on. This is 2018, we have different priorities, different concerns that need to be addressed NOW!

Looking forward to a time when the Ugandan market embraces subscription-based billing for services.
We are such a one-off payment economy yet I believe the future of payments for some services will force us to go more into a subscription model.
