A Ugandan man claiming to lead South Sudan community on X is belittling and offensive. Others are joking about it as if it's a laughing matter. Can a South Sudan claim to be UgandanX president?Be uox president and leave South Sudan matters to south sudanese #ssox #southsudan

Crazy how Rwanda has already set the pace after the announcement of Formula 1 about three weeks ago. Rwanda has got to deliver four things in 3 years time. The brand new Bugesera Circuit. The International Airport in Bugesera. The access roads and roads connecting the airport and Circuit. World class accommodation faculties. Real test for Paul Kagame and Rwandans.

Someone on this app was attacking me today because I appeared on television (NBS) wearing a T-shirt and sandals. I simply laughed. What they didn’t understand is that there was a bigger picture behind everything I was doing. Wekesa trusted me with Team Uganda kits, and I have quite a number of them. Even when you need 100 pieces and above , I still have more available. There is also someone on this app, @OruhuShoes, who makes beautiful shoes. In support of his craft, I asked him to make me a pair, promising to showcase his unique art to the world. I appeared on television, and suddenly everyone had an opinion about how I was dressed. People discussed it, criticised it and some even mocked me. But deep down, I was intentional. At that particular time, I made significant sales of the Team Uganda kits. I also gave a small business owner an opportunity to showcase his craftsmanship to a wider audience. I believe the shoe designer is benefiting from that exposure too, and I will continue recommending his work. Sometimes, what people dismiss as poor dressing is actually a well-calculated opportunity. I was elevated by that moment. My personal brand gained visibility, businesses benefited, and people who might never have known me started paying attention. My philosophy in life is simple: Never fake life to impress people. I will wear a suit when I want to wear one. I will wear a T-shirt and sandals when I feel comfortable doing so. I don’t dress to impress anyone; I dress for myself. Dear young people, learn to recognise opportunities even in the simplest moments. Whenever you get a platform, show up, make your presence felt and, most importantly, make your presence count. You never know who is watching, what doors are opening or whose business you could help grow.

I left Uganda 🇺🇬 to come to the UAE 🇦🇪 to learn, become better and live a life of meaning and impact. I wake up everyday to chase a Big Dream in UAE and I know that one day I shall testify.
