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.

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.

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!
