If you are about to give up your dreams due to life’s challenges, stop. Think about Christine Lubwama, who you probably knew as, “Musaawo.” Christine founded the Eseri Clinic in Mukono, was an advocate of women and children’s health, a God-fearing woman of impeccable community service, died on 18th April 2020, aged 71. Christine was born on 30th September 1949 in Bweza Ssese to Henry Wamala (RIP) of Nkima Clan and Dorothy Manjeri Namusoke Wamala (RIP), a year in history when the Apartheid became an official government policy in South Africa, and the Soviet Union detonated its first atomic bomb.

Avoid the agriculture traps
#mindspark Many people who invest in agriculture do so for the satisfaction it brings. I have found out that investments in intellectual property are unbeatable.

Below are some insights attributed to a Japanese doctor. Read and let me know what you think. *Q*: Doctor, I’ve heard that cardiovascular exercise can prolong life. Is this true? *A*: Heart only good for so many beats, and that’s it… Don’t waste time on exercise. Everything wear out eventually.

In my experience, there are three major causes of case backlog in Uganda: Poor quality investigations Inadequate incentives to the current judicial officers, and Judicial processes bureaucracy Before I explore each…
To win, always go the extra mile
There is nothing that beats always going the extra mile. That should be your mindset in everything you get involved in. A Board Chairman called me saying: “Mustapha, I read your 7 Tools of an effective board member book”, and I found it practical and very relevant. Thanks to that book, I was appointed a Board Chairman. But I need hands-on support. The previous Chairman had organized an induction training. Unfortunately, the consultant is unable to make it. The bad news is the training is due tomorrow. Is it possible to be with us just to share experiences about board dynamics…
