THREAD ALERT:
ON UGANDA'S DISPLAY AT THE DUBAI EXPO.

Eh, I got and am still getting lots of messages about our display in Dubai at the expo. Some people thinking I'm responsible for that which isn't true.
My reading is that Ugandans want to see the country shine. LEADERS MUST LISTEN.

Dubai has invested about usd 7bn in this particular expo and that shows how important it is for them. Dubai plays ball at a very different level and it's admirable.
Dubai guys understand marketing and position.

Dubai whose wealth was transported on donkeys in the 1980s boosts of 3 main sectors pushing them higher and higher. The 3 sectors are tourism( the last time I read, every 5th building is a hotel), real estate and finance.

@rkabushenga , others and myself will be doing an independence Day campaign, showcasing Uganda's beauty.

We are rallying the population to showcase beautiful pictures of Uganda from different parts of Uganda.

@nextmediaug which owns @nbstv started a campaign of us celebrating Uganda Together today. @KKariisa .

Let me say something here: When we showcase Uganda, the business opportunities come direct to the population. When Uganda borrows loans, its a few people that see that money. Image
When a tourist for example arrives at Entebbe, she pays USD 50 for a visa, planes pay landing fees to CAA which employs Ugandans.

The tourist is picked up in a car which has a mechanic, spare part supplier, also goes to fueling station and all these are opportunities

Two weeks ago, I walked down from Signiture Apartments where we were staying in Jinja along Nalufenya Road to send some mobile money to someone.
Since I know myself very well, I don't have a mobile money number and sometimes I make sure I don't even have ATM card on me. Besides, business people don't always have money in cash.
Money is very hard to make, very hard to maintain, even harder is growing it. You must work and think hard while dealing with it.

Just like you ask yourself, how am I going to make money, also ask yourself how am I going to spend it. Make it part of your reasoning.

Today I was thinking about how Nyanza waterways (MV Natalie and sister boat) and Brovad sands( MV brovad) are changing face of lake Victoria.

I was telling a friend, it's only in a poor country where the rich live in Kololo and the average like me( even me bambi) by lakes like.
I told him from my traveling experience, lakes are gold mines for those who live next to them.
