What relationship do Ugandans have with 5 minutes? It’s always “give me 5 minutes” Who started it?😂 Are these five minutes somewhere in the laws?
With months away to FIFA World Cup, this is the right time to befriend Rt. Hon.’s husband. Tickets for quarterfinals alone are going live with an average price of 2000 dollars per ticket.
”Sikulimba” by Afrigo Band in the background. He is real homie! Much more than most two week Ugandan visitors in UK or U.S.😂
Starting Oct 1, applicants of U.S. visitor, student and other non immigrant visas will be required to pay a “visa integrity” fee of 250 dollars on top of the 185 dollar Visa Fee. The U.S. government will refund this money if you comply with your visa terms.
Today.. nearly 25 percent of the 12 parliament is being elected. Those who know, definitely get this😂
Did Spotify copy something from TikTok’s algorithm? Some times you just think about a song, then Queue and Jam plays it next.😅
This account will make you break your house for every post they put up.
Uganda whose visa approval rate is 99%, why still require an American to apply for a visa or even giving them a shorter duration? Increase the visa fee to USD 185 but give them 5 to 10 years multiple entry. 99% of Americans who apply for Ugandan visitor visa are approved.
Current U.S. visit visa appointment waiting time for Uganda is approximately 12 months. You’ve to wait a year to attend a U.S. visit visa interview if you are applying from Uganda. This is on top of Ugandans now receiving single entry 90 day U.S. visas.
Ugandan keyboard warriors have two problems: 1. Not knowing their limits 2. Short memory Few years ago, they aided Stellah Nyanzi’s attacks on Professor Mamdani. Only Makerere University and President Museveni later-on, stood with Mamdani. Now they seem to detest Nyanzi😂
In the pursuit of “man biting dog” i.e. sensationalizing negative news in order to sell more papers (since man has a “bad news bias”), some media outlets are lately making a lot of errors, and/or misrepresent information. One classic example is here👇🏿
We refer to the publication by the Daily Monitor dated July 8, 2025, regarding the Makerere University ranking. We have since received clarification on the matter, as highlighted in the correspondence below from Times Higher Education.

There was an error and not on our side. It will be fixed and 2026 will be great. Calm down folks!
Makerere University Vice Chancellor, Professor Nawangwe hands over fleet of BMWs to support the university’s protocol and handling of high level delegations and visitors. Makerere has always been instrumental in Uganda’s international relations and academic diplomacy.
This morning we have handed over 5 limousines to some units of the University to ease the challenges they face with management of protocol for important visitors to the University. I thank the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the allocation of the vehicles and the Ministry of…
Only Ramaphosa never misses a BRICS summit. Xi and Modi haven’t attended BRICS together in quite a time.
With fellow BRICS leaders at the Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, reaffirming our commitment to closer cooperation and shared growth. BRICS holds immense potential to shape a more inclusive and equitable global future.
Bebe Cool confessed to have forced Zuena to cancel her friendship with Barbie Kyagulanyi because he (Bebe Cool) isn’t friends with Bobi Wine. How do you define this?
U.S. embassies have been issuing visas to visibly pregnant women as long as they believed in your stated purpose of travel. This is radically going to change! You go for an interview pregnant, expect a NO.
Attention U.S. visa holders: Using your visa to travel for the primary purpose of giving birth in the United States so that your child will have U.S. citizenship is not permitted. Consular officers will deny your visa application if they have reason to believe this is your…
