My answer, therefore, is yes: radio still matters, perhaps more than ever. In an age of misinformation and disinformation, radio remains an important platform for verified information and professional journalism. Social media and artificial intelligence have dramatically increased the speed at which information travels, but speed does not always guarantee accuracy.
By honouring Yonatan Netanyahu at the very place where he fell, Uganda has preserved a defining chapter of its history while sending a clear message for the future: courage, sacrifice and the fight against terrorism should never be forgotten.
Perhaps it is time to remember that a wedding is only a day, but marriage is a lifetime. Let us celebrate the union without sacrificing the future of the family being created.
If the UPDF succeeds in helping bring lasting peace to Gaza, it will not only be a victory for the mission, but another chapter in the story of a Ugandan army whose founding ideals of sacrifice, Pan-Africanism and peace continue to be carried by a new generation.
UPDF’s mission in Gaza is more than a deployment; it is Uganda offering its experience, courage and commitment to peace to a troubled world. Its success will belong to every Ugandan — and stand as a reminder that Africa can be a force for peace, not merely a spectator to global conflicts.
There are still miles to go. But Black people continue to rise, carrying the resilience of those who came before them and waking each morning determined to build a better tomorrow.
She may have been Mother Hen to many, but her greatest legacy is the countless lives she nurtured, protected and shaped with a love that knew no boundaries. Her nest may be quiet now, but the lives she touched will forever carry the warmth of her wings.
Now that the elections are over, the real work begins: turning grassroots leadership into grassroots transformation, creating opportunities for our young people and ensuring that every Government programme delivers tangible results for the wananchi.
When a journalist asked Ali whether he would assist the former president, Idi Amin, to return home from exile in Saudi Arabia, he answered: “That is his problem if he wants to return. I have too many things to do. I do not have time to think for him. I did not even meet him while in Saudi the other day.” Five months after Ali made those comments, Amin died while still in exile in Saudi Arabia and is buried there. Therefore, Amin died before he reconciled with his former finance minister, Ali.
Stop vetting potential partners like you are hiring for a corporate board; you are choosing a partner for a long road trip. You need to experience the person before you declare them the best lover. You have to keep pushing through long stretches of mental and physical strain, even when you are tired, frustrated or doubting the outcome. The couples that succeed are not necessarily the ones who had it easy, but those who kept fighting for the love, day after day.
Amin’s message to Ali was ordering them to travel to Malire Barracks and monitor the activities of pro-Obote soldiers. Ali and Doka hastily went to the Officers’ Mess (now Buganda Katikkiro’s residence, Butikkiro) and found that officers perceived to be anti-Obote were practically under arrest, waiting for an address from the commanding officer of Malire, Lt Col Augustino Akwangu. Exiting from the Officers’ Mess, Ali fooled the military guards that he was sent to deliver a note to Akwangu.
Our marriage failure is not a sudden, unexplained illness. We know the causes, but still hope they will stop at the neighbour’s. Meanwhile, we spend all our energy trying to fix marriages that were fundamentally broken before they even began. It is like trying to turn a single-story house into a skyscraper without adjusting the foundation.
Among and Namujju joined Parliament at the same time and, therefore, became the best of friends. Namujju used to visit Among, and they chatted inside Among’s lavish bedroom. During their chats, they disclosed to each other their wealth, investment plans, marriage issues and future political plans.
At the beginning of 2003, Matembe revealed her New Year’s resolution, stating: “I want to get closer to God so that He can control my life.” During that year, she, along with fellow ministers, Bidandi Ssali, Eriya Kategaya and Sarah Kiyingi, vehemently opposed the scrapping of presidential term limits from the 1995 Constitution. Her stand put her at conflict with those who wanted term limits scrapped for Museveni to vie again for presidency in 2006.
Men aren’t emotionally fortified to handle their wives’ adultery; it carries strong connotations of shame, ridicule and emasculation. In some societies, a man whose wife cheats is deemed sexually weak, powerless and unworthy of respect. Men cannot comprehend a wife who cheats, gets pregnant, deceives them on paternity, continues to deliver the baby and bring it into a man’s brood.
Soon after Besigye’s election petition was dismissed, Lukwago served as the attorney of Besigye’s partner, Winnie Byanyima, when she was charged with sedition before the Buganda Road Chief Magistrate, Catherine Bamugemeire, on April 17, 2001.
According to Lubega, Ugandans are employed in sectors such as education, healthcare, engineering, mechanics, transport and entrepreneurship, reducing direct competition with locals in low-skilled jobs that often become flashpoints during anti-immigrant campaigns.
For East Africa, these disruptions have tested the resilience of economies where trade contributes at least 50% of GDP in Sub-Saharan Africa. Yet disruption is also accelerating investment in regional trade, alternative corridors, digital trade systems and intra-African market integration.
Much as Among received and appreciated financial donations from Ekemu, Nandala and Kajeke, she pushed for a largely strategic friendship with Michael Kabaziguruka upon realising that he was closer to Besigye than her aforesaid male friends in FDC.
But if you have been playing the encyclopedia role of a spouse, your partner will put up a fight to reclaim their space before giving up. And when they give up, you may never recover them intact. So, how can you schedule your spouse before you schedule the Speaker?
