Is Uganda stuck in academic and intellectual inbreeding as France was in 19th century?
It is no longer a virtue to ensure academic and intellectual inbreeding. This is only ensuring that scholars communicate to each other in their disciplines and become increasingly irrelevant beyond the Ivory Tower. It explains why the Ivory Tower is frequently seized by a heavy cloud of silence when society is knocking at the doors of scholars for guidance. They are more preoccupied with intradisciplinary interests of careerism and promotion.

Resetting Uganda: Need for broader minds to dismantle education pigeon holes Ugandans are fed in
It is perhaps Hobbes’ observation and awareness that the logical outcome of egotistical individuals, all deciding how best to survive, would be anarchy, that should spur Ugandans to think and rethink their future in light of what is happening.

Wean and win: How can Uganda liberate herself from foreign aid dependency?
Unfortunately, foreign aid is not charity, although when leaders talk to convince the people that foreign aid is good, they submit it as if it is charity. Foreign aid is not charity, and as the CFI has shown, it has many strings attached. It is ethnocentric. And as I have frequently stated no foreigner gives you aid to help you more than he or she helps himself.

It is not surprising that recent scientifically-backed assertions have put the number of mentally deranged Ugandans at 14 million out of a population of 45 million. If one was not reserved in use of words, one would say that this deplorable situation reflects poor governance of the country. A country is its people and resources. Governance that separates people from resources and concentrates on exploiting the resources without any strategy to renew, conserve or distribute them fairly among the people, is failed governance, a result of misgovernance. In this case the people and their communities are taken as roadblocks to progress.
