And this is why Omelogor’s section in Chimamanda Ngozie Adichie’s Dream Count stood out to readers like me. She successfully reveals a path for us to understand entrepreneurship in Nigeria—West Africa at large, and in turn leaves pointers for where to look. Exceptional insights.

Researching the history of West African women's entrepreneurship has given me insights into the extensive knowledge systems, financial networks, & social & religious connections that sustain women's work in commercial economies. African women's economic lives are so fascinating!

"Chairman, a country without reserves is not sovereign. The potential of this Bill to destabilize Uganda’s balance of payments is our primary concern as a central bank. For example, last financial year the overall balance of payment surplus was USD 1.5 billion. That’s how we were able to increase our reserve coverage by USD 1.5 billion. Today as we speak our reserves are close to USD 6 billion. Why? Because these inflows have been coming in. The moment you tamper with these inflows here, we risk running down our reserves, and that is economic disaster for a country.” Governor Atingi-Ego on the Protection of Sovereignty Bill 2026 in an appearance before Parliament today.

The Constitutional Court of Uganda has declared the following provisions of the Computer Misuse Act unconstitutional, as Parliament passed them without the required quorum: Section 11: Criminalized unauthorized access, interception of data, or voice/video recording of another person. Section 23: Criminalized unauthorized sharing or transmission of any information about a child. Section 26: Criminalized sharing computer-based information likely to ridicule, degrade, or demean a person, or promote hostility based on tribe, religion, or gender. Section 27: Criminalized sending or sharing unsolicited information, unless it was in the public interest. Section 28: Criminalized sending or sharing "malicious information" relating to another person. Section 29: Prohibited the "misuse of social media" by sharing prohibited information under a disguised or false identity. Additionally, Sections 162 and 163 of the Penal Code Act (criminal libel) were declared unconstitutional due to being vague and ambiguous

My friend, Irene. 💛 If she had not SEEN me and done the actual work to help me. I don’t think I’d be here. I’m forever grateful for her and for being seen.

we should all be invested in building an ecosystem that ensures our literatures and literary practices are accessible, sustainable and archived/preserved. anything short of that creates a veneer of a thriving space but doesn’t address the actual problems.

Please resolve today. Asking for anymore waiting on our end is EXTREMELY unfair. This area engineer has been on the way for seven days with no single update. They need to finally arrive. Can they share updates within the next hour on what the issue is?

There’s no electricity. We have repeatedly called you about having no power in Kaale-Busawuula and Kasenge but you’ve done nothing. It’s SEVEN days of no electricity today. Which world are you lighting up?
