On 30th August 2023 the news of Gabon coup started pouring on different medias. The Gabonese Army led by Brice Clotaire Oligui Nguema took to the National Television announcing to Gabonese and international community that they have ousted President Ali Bongo, because of what they call electoral irregularities and unfairness. This brought Bongo's reign in the West African state to an end. Ali Bongo served as president of Gabon for 15 years succeeding his father Omar Bongo who had served for 41 years. Gabon incident came in a time when West Africa only within three years suffered at least 8 coups among others Niger's. The West African coups are running extremely fast like bush fire moving from one state to another with a number of grievances as woods fueling them. Most of these states in West Africa are semi independent since most of these countries are supposed to have their Reserve banks in Paris, France. The western world, France in particular can support a certain president a...

Covid-19 exposed to the whole world that children are more prone to a number of sexually related dangers at home during holidays, than at schools since between the year 2020 and 2022 thousands and thousands young girls left schools due to early pregnancy. This can be interpreted that parents are not doing enough to guide and protect their children from these evils. According to Police Annual crime reports, over 12,000 cases of defilements and over 1,600 cases of rapes were reported in Uganda in 2022 alone, minus series of cases not reported to police. This is a serious dilemma since thousands of these victims are girls under the age of consent. The brilliant dreams of these young girls are despoiled since a number of them end up conceiving, contracting STDs or both.  In most cases, these vices are committed by people known to these children, and it's very important to be concerned about the people you exposed your children to; Boda bodas and drivers are among the serous perpetrator...

A precise note by Lucoromoi The greatest and most grateful people we can talked about are the great grandfathers of Acholi people. The Acholi ancestors did tremendous jobs in reference to the rich culture; the dances they came up with, the proverbs, riddles, folktales, the varieties of traditional food and others. One peculiar and outstanding effort that Acholi should keep praising their ancestors for, is taking hold of a fertile plateau land. Acholi land is very precious. It's just unfortunate that enemies of nature are now destroying the environment, but it used to have two planting seasons(rainy) and dry season. Well balanced. Acholi people used to look at land as something used for raising children (gi pit). Selling land was a very rare practice. People could just give land to relatives and friends without demanding money. People used land to raise money through planting cash crops like cotton, tobacco and others, and as well rearing livestock in order to get money for school f...

 My Open Letter To Ministry Of Health P.O Box 7272 Nakasero, Kampala Uganda. RE: SYNDICATE AT GUL-LU HOSPITAL Gul-lu RRH announced new CT-scan services amidst questionable quality of services at the department                   The general public of Gulu City and Acoli sub-region as abwhole received with happiness the news of CT scan services at the regional referral hospital which has been the most searched for services in Aber Hospital and in kampala over many years.  The department which is well built and equiped with modern Radiology equipments including two ultrasound machines, digital x-ray machine and now the CT-scan with 1 dark room attendant, and two radiographers is operating at half or quarter of it's potential as over many years the quality of it's basic ultrasound scan results has be questioned by many doctors within the facility. On average every mother/patient do more than 2 scans because the scan results from the hos...

I have decided to pen down this precise write-up, seeing how the young people are getting wasted into gambling, drugs and alcohol, because they are idle and frustrated after failing to get formal employment. Young people are getting old and even looking older than 60 years old. As young people, we are failing to understand that every day comes with 100 percent opportunities around us, but it takes humility, determination, focus, flexibility and "growth mindset" to be able to see.. Considering statistics which indicate that over 700,000 youth reach working age every year, but only 75,000 are absorbed in different available jobs, given the Acholi fertile land, Commercial agriculture would be a relief to the rest who fail to get formal employment, but it is very unfortunate that we are failing to make good use of what God gave us, and definitely grateful and wise people from other parts of the country are hiring and buying our fertile land, plant and sell their food to us, get m...

 

"Where is the Job? We do not even have money for capital. Please  ask Government  to offer us jobs or donate each household  money. We do not  have land to dig.... " This statement was made by some Social Media Pundit in Acholi. These kind of statements from the young people come amidst million calls from political, social, cultural and opinion leaders asking youths to create their own jobs.  In Uganda, 78% of the population is under the age of 31.  while about 700,000 young people reach working age every year in Uganda, only 75,000 jobs are available. Most time when children are being brought up and taken to schools, they grow up thinking that, upon finishing their studies, government, organisation or a company will eventually employ them. Months after graduation, real life begins to appear different from the perception accumulated when at school. After completion of education, a few of your colleagues will get employed. With zeal you continue walking s...
