Every parent wants their child to win. Below is what to tell your children: Success is an outcome of several small choices at each stage of life, as one grows. When I was young, I had my eyes on joining Munteme Technical School (TECO). In our village, everyone who had graduated from TECO was self-reliant.

On the other hand, children who went to the opposite hill, Munteme Fatima College (MUFACO), to pursue secondary education,…
To win, change small and change often
If you want to progress, do not follow a person who posts having run 25 kilometres once a week. Follow the one who runs two km daily.

Best of WhatsApp: Covidex Could Accidentally Champion Dev’t In Uganda
Omongole R Anguria. Listening to Prof. Ogwang Patrick Engeu on the Capital Fm Radio Program, Desert Island, left me nearly in tears. While the COVIDEX story was both sad and exciting at the same time, it didn’t catch much of my attention, maybe because I was fairly an insider as a legal adviser and behind the scenes’ connector ‘with some political heavyweights, giving contacts here and there!
