Do #UOT EXHIBITIONS really make a difference?🧵

The annoyance of petty bourgeois Ugandans regarding #KampalaPotholeExhibition & #UgandaHealthExhibition, as curated by our brilliant social justice warriors @SpireJim & @GodwinTOKO, has amused me more than it should probably have. Image
At @mylegalbrain, we did more than put on an exhibit around Kampala’s gargantuan potholes & open sewers 3 years ago.

We SUED @KCCAUG & @GovUganda for this blatant violation of duty that has caused widespread devastation, including death and disability to hapless urban dwellers.
B4 #KampalaPotholeExhibition, we’d sued The Powers That Be & won a landmark ruling for a hazard-free road experience in Kampala City.

COURT ORDER—There shouldn’t be any potholes, open sewers & trading/dwelling places cut off by floods in the capital city.

When I became President of the Makerere Law Society at the Makerere University School of Law, my dad told me about the story of Former Guild President, Galo Githo. Galo Githo was the Guild President of Makerere University when my dad joined the University in 1997
#MakerereAt100
My Dad’s intentions were to guide me to tread carefully especially while dealing with administration as a leader. To a larger extent, even when I had such a cordial working relationship with the Principal of the @MakerereLaw, Prof. Christopher Mbazira, this advice stuck with me.
Prof. Chris is an advocate for the freedom of expression. He always appreciated me as a young leader who came out open to him on several issues regarding student welfare. But I lived in the constant fear of being the bad dancer who stepped on others’ toes on the dance floor.

BOBI WINE’S CONUNDRUM: Whether the SMACK, of 60 y.o. Bro Deodati Aganyira is sufficiently ‘The School’ for his first son Solomon Kampala?

In 1998, the post of HM SMACK opened up after a curious resignation.

Bro Aganyira was passed over for a much younger Bro Edward Bukenya, 32. ImageImageImage
Bro Bukenya (pictured), despite a faulty start, went on to score 15 years of phenomenal achievements, making so many envious.

Suddenly, @Educ_SportsUg invoked a dubious policy of arbitrarily transferring long-stay HMs.

Jan 2014: Enter Bro John Ssenkabirwa, from Caltec Academy! Image
The new transfer policy was resisted by many founding bodies for ‘shaking traditions’, non-consultation, etc.

The church even went to court to restrain gov’t from transferring Bro Bukenya to his alma mater St Edwards SS Bukuumi, @IndependentUG reports.independent.co.ug/teachers-on-th…

1/ “MAJ. GEN. PAUL LOKECH, I HAVE FORGIVEN YOU”

In a scathing tell-it-all obituary, Hon @odongaotto has once again proved his PATRIOTISM by unmasking his fellow tribesman as a COWARDLY TYRANT & SCAMMER basically. THEN SUDDENLY FORGIVEN HIM.

THREAD: An abridged version for #OUT
2/ “Friends, #UOT, Countrymen, lend me your ears;
I come to bury #Lokech, not to praise him.
The evil that men do lives after them;
The good is oft interred with their bones;
So let it be with #Lokech.”

— An adaptation of Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar (spoken by @odongaotto)
3/ I’ve known Paul Lokech fairly well, for over 30 years. A brave, bold fighter — he once saved my life & also cared about Acholi land: “It shouldn't be taken forcefully. I will raise the matter in the Army High Command stay strong," he told us.

He also tried to get me a job.

Hi #UoT: welcome .@am_tina on our #40DayMentor. Today we look at mental health. What is it? How does it manifest itself? How do I know I am struggling with my mental health? Where do I go for help. Christine, over to you. The rest of you keep the hashtag going with comments & qns
I tagged the wrong Tina!! This @ak_tina is the correct one
@ak_tina what are the tell-tale signs that one should look for in order to identify that a person they know or love is struggling with mental health issues? How should they react?

What are @HEBobiwine chances of this and that.....? NOTHING!
He is shaking the tree - the loose branches will drop. Nature will take its course. History and time is on his side.
The competition for power is not a zero sum game. The avenue through which it is done, politics, is a zero-sum status game. #UgandaDecides2021
Weak and fragile systems have no mechanisms to test and falsify ideas. The outcome is death! #UgandaDecides2021

#UOT One perennial challenge for #Uganda is that crises are seen via procurement lenses by state based elites (with a vanguard of establishment intellectuals and neo-nationalists) who evoke patriotism to white wash blatant mistakes and offer cover for money games #COVID19
#UOT Every now and then we are reminded that amoral actors who want to privatize the profit ( from logistics of crisis responses) also socialize the cost asking citizens to settle for less or as Nigerians say “monkey dey work, baboon dey chop”. #COVID19
#UOT Some of the prominent “narrative warriors” extolling nationalist sentiment are thinly disguised profiteers just twice removed from direct procurers.They ask for accommodation and charity from the public never structural changes to the behavior of public institutions #COVID19

One of the things that inspire me about #UOT is the energy people have when supporting each other's hustles.

Especially hustles that used to be shunned, like cleaning homes, doing laundry or selling roadside food. It gives me so much joy.

Allow me to share a small anecdote.
During my high school days, my dad owned a tiny local food restaurant in Katwe, which later moved near Nakasero market. During some holidays, I worked there.

On some days I'd have to carry half a sack of millet to a grinding mill in Nsambya and then to the restaurant for kalo.
On other days, I'd have to walk from Nsambya to Katwe to take my dad home-cooked food because he couldn't afford to eat the food he was serving customers.

There's this one time I was carrying a full bucket of simsim and gnuts and it poured in the middle of the taxi park...😳😡🤬
