The politics of poverty is global rather than local. International financiers and foreign governments offer grants and loans to financially impoverished former colonies on terms that serve the interests of the financiers themselves. What is more, a vast proportion of such loans are misappropriated by the political elite of the recipient country through the inflating of the cost of the project, kickbacks, and even outright disappearance of funds that end up in secret foreign bank accounts, and yet the taxpayer must still service the loans. How do we break this cycle of exploitation and accountability?

@TimKalyegira Tim—nothing is uniquely African here. In the West, p'ple also rally around race, religion, ethnicity, tradition and ideology. The difference is that wealth and stronger institutions soften it. After 500+ years of imperial disruption, Africa’s case is history—not human inferiority
@TimKalyegira First of all: Is holding free and fair elections = effective and equitable governance systems?
@SpireJim Prof., when a system is captured, don’t expect justice to be the main conversation in those corridors. Often, the talk is not “what is lawful?” but “how do we execute orders from above without losing our jobs?” Never mind the robes; the judiciary died a long time ago. 🥹
THE ELIJAH-RAVENS RULE Plan, study, prepare—but every blueprint bows to Him who wrote the master plan. Prophet Elijah announced the drought, yet his survival came not from planned stockpiles, but ravens. — 1 Kings 17:1–6 Remain open: solutions may enter through strange doors.
BE ONE ANOTHER'S BREAD In a world where people are using, breaking, and tearing one another apart for survival, Corpus Christi offers a different formula: Become bread for one another—a life insurance system where we carry, nourish, and keep one another alive. — John 6:51–58
@SpireJim An exact living testimony of Romans 8:28: even denied visas, closed doors and delayed dreams can become part of God’s strange architecture of grace. What looks like rejection may later reveal itself as redirection. Sometimes God saves us by blocking the road we begged to enter.
I think this conversation lacks nuance. Children should never be made to feel guilty for existing or responsible for their parents’ life choices. They didn’t ask to be born. At the same time, I don’t think we should pretend that parenting involves no sacrifice. Many parents give up sleep, opportunities, time, money and personal ambitions to give their children a better life. The difference is this: sacrifice should teach gratitude, not create guilt. Parenting should not leave children feeling indebted. But neither should it leave them unable to recognise the love, effort and commitment that raised them.
@Brianw256 @kennykoburu @Wilson_Erl @cobbo3 @KagutaMuseveni Uganda’s problem is not lazy youth; it is failed governance systems—where policy serves patrons, markets reward connections, jobs are loyalists’ rewards, and the tax code and other laws are either applied selectively or weaponized against those not singing, “Our man, no change!”
@EdwardMayega @Brianw256 @Wilson_Erl @cobbo3 @KagutaMuseveni Don’t mind him. He's either a paid apologist—or one of those born with golden spoons, convinced the rest of us, like them, feed from our parents’ hands. Who, in their sane mind, cannot see the failed governance systems in this republic? Katonda gyali; eriyo empungu erya ebire?
GENEROSITY True generosity is the spirit of the widow who offered her last penny. — Mark 12:41–44 Giving time even when busy, attention even when tired, forgiveness even when pride resists, help even without appreciation, and money even when comfort must adjust to make room.
@NinyeTabz @SpireJim To "Punisher," he should add: CDF-UOX 🫡 😂😂😂
I agree, Intern doctors should be ranked above DEI Pharma, Atiak Sugar, Lubowa, and Inspire Coffee – which have and continue to consume billions. While those other are (unnecessary) promises for the future, intern doctors are presently real in the lives of ordinary Ugandans. As has been said plenty of times, it is not uncommon to find a public medical facility manned entirely by interns. Their labor cannot to be for free. In fact, interns is the language of exploitation. These are actual doctors – only new in the field. Thanks Dr Obuku (@ekwaroobuku)
@Brianw256 @Wilson_Erl @cobbo3 @KagutaMuseveni If that was his point, then the question returns to him: whose job is it to create opportunities in Uganda’s “good climate” so youth needn’t flee to desert Arabia? Their flight is a verdict—the regime failed them at home, leaving escape as their only enterprise. It's that simple.
IDOLS WE FEAR St Boniface cut down the Germanic pagan oak feared to strike back with lightning. It did nothing. As in Boniface's day, there are always two choices: overcome our fears and cut the oak, or spend our lives fearing what may not even exist. St Boniface, pray for us!
@SpireJim And I know some faces—now painfully watching from the sidelines of retirement—souls who served this country diligently, stole no coin and gave their best to public service. They must be wondering, as they watch the unfolding spectacle: what the hell happened to their old friend?
@FGoloobaMutebi Uhm 😷 indeed. But nature is full of such calculations. Dominant bulls don't spend sleepless nights watching distant antelopes—they keep an eye on other bulls that could challenge the herd. Issues like proximity, ingenuity, capability or influence. Pure survival instinct, Prof.
