I am in a team meeting at office and 9/10 of us are putting on glasses. Does academia attract people with glasses or does it make people put on glasses?

KLM and SN Brussels combine Kampala and Kigali because one city is not cost effective for them. Uganda Airlines might want to combine Gatwick-Amsterdam-Entebbe. Otherwise Uganda is mainly a destination not hub but it doesn't have that much arriving traffic.

Accusing the Mamdani family of being radical Muslims shows you how much baseless, useless projection is in American politics.

This is multi-faceted. If one assumes balaalo are an economic group/profession, then its possible to have land policies that can accommodate good large scale ranching. But it one assumes they are an ethnic group, how would one "do away with them"?

Every time i see a South Sudanese winning in life I am reminded of the movie The Good Lie. Probably the only movie i ever watched and cried. These boys overcome obstacles like no other. Their hope never runs out and they end up winning.

Genuine question. If we have MPs for youth, MPs for older people, MPs for disabilities, MPs for workers etc, what are regular MPs for?

Wedding in churches (mainly for spiritual/ religious reasons) has different legal implications from civil weddings, which the church in Uganda also facilitates. Careful, if you ever have civil legal problems, your church vows might not help.

A friend took a 10 day-holiday from Uganda to travel through thru Greece Italy, France and Germany. On his first leg Ethiopian Airlines left his bags in Addis. What recompense does he have from ETH?

Uganda registers more than 23,000 road accidents of which about 70% have a fatal or serious injury outcome. But we want to use the death of a young footballer to downplay our own despicable road quality and road user behaviour. Waapi Mukuru wangye Ian!

You cant transport 250k passengers daily with a single track, 1900s diesel snail moving wagon, with footpath accessible stations. We don't want someone to be telling us that we are "not gonna make it" but we aren't helping ourselves either!

1. Don't married, and if you do make sure someone is benefiting from it. 2. Consider refraining from having children. By the time they are 18 leaving home, you could be driving a Lamborghini. 3. Do not underestimate the power of compounding Advice from Julia on Insight on SBS.

I think all these attacks on Ebb are misguided. Ebb does what is at the level of Ebb! You are all comparing an airport that has 6-10 flights a day to airports that have 50-60 flights an hour, with traffics of 10s of millions a year.

Musk has too much money to get the most comprehensive and precise legal advice to start a new party. But his ego and self importance are so high that he possibly overestimates his own popularity and political leadership potential.

THE rankings suggests it is 8th, QS World rankings suggest it is 21st. Are the comparisons across the years consistent by source and methodology? But doesn't explain the fact that in any rankings, there has been a serious drop!
