The world is on attention. No one is safe. From peasants to Presidents, from teachers to legislators – and everyone between. We are all under siege. It is not easy not to be scared.

What is the driving force behind this pandemic? How can a man who has managed to freely visit the moon and back fail to find a quick solution to this virus, #covid19? To make it worse, there…
Is the employer fair on Jane?
WAS JANE WRONG TO REQUEST FOR A PROMOTION? She is called the focused one. Jane is not only brilliant; she is focused on her career. She previously worked as a personal assistant to the executive director at an insurance company for five years. She was a ‘hit’, in CEO speak. SHE LOVED THE ROLE What she lacked in a paycheck, she got in terms of unlimited powers to send away people from meeting her boss, the CEO. When someone’s title is CEO, in a company boasting over 20,000 customers, many people want to have a one on one with the…

Couple 1: The ever-traveling consultant

Better die of a bullet than…
Back to the home front

Go to school (I mean the reading room). Have a break at 10 am. Go back to class (reading room) at 11 am. Study up to 1 pm. Get a lunch break and return to class at 2 pm. Study up to 3 pm and go for sports. And at 4 pm, come back home. That is my strategy. After all, I am called Mr Strategy.…
Go away, COVID-19!
They say death is the only equalizer for mankind. It fears no one. No one has ever left life alive. Whether you travel abroad or live in Uganda, a day will come, when your body will become lifeless.
