Spiritual colonialism, neocolonialism, conquests: How globalisation turned Ugandans into marionettes and they embraced it gleefully
In Uganda these different colonialisms have been revamped under NRM rule, thereby reversing the independence and development of the country and enhancing the country’s entrenchment in the global debt trap, with the ruling now unable to tick without borrowing from the local and global money markets or attaching the country wealth and natural assets to the creditor countries.
Political hereditary: Uganda is on the cusp of ‘megdel syndrome’ mirrored by inherited political deafness and blurred vision
Hereditary political leadership leads to nepotism and corruption as those in power may use their positions to favour family members, friends and allies rather than making decisions based on the greater good. This can erode trust in institutions and undermine the rule of law. We have seen this take centre-stage in Uganda even recently when the president of Uganda did not hesitate to write that the military courts will continues to try civilians in military courts.
Museveni’s intellectual pygmies: Talking politics in Uganda often feels like health hazard wrought by ideological bankruptcy
Our brains are oval and therefore multi dimensional. The number of dimensions is infinite, but we can mention the cultural, ethical, moral, social, economic, political, emotional, psychological, financial, intellectual, technical, scientific, environmental and ecological dimensions.

Uganda’s history of power grab and refugee-powered regimes stretches back to Tembezi dynasty and Kitara Kingdom
The Batembuzi are historically characterised as superhumans who were divine with creative powers and never died but merely disappeared in thin air or underground. The founder of the Batembuzi is said to have been Ruhanga considered to be a creator
How Uganda became a testament of military invasions, conquest, occupation and penetration in East Africa
The fact that the leadership of NRM and army is strongly in the hands of the people who belonged to FRONASA and PRA and the exacerbated ethnic nepotism now dominating Uganda have increasingly made many Ugandans accept that their country is politically and militarily occupied, with serious impacts on the environment, ecology, culture, economy, education, health, et cetera.
With command and obey approach to water management, Ugandan president seeks to be the deific centre of life
In any case integrated natural resources management cannot be achieved if there are no professionally produced integrators in charge. Such actors can be produced at our institutions of higher learning if integrating sciences – interdisciplinarity, crossdisciplinarity, transdisciplinarity and extradisciplinarity – are institutionalised at our university campuses. Only Mbarara University of Science has accommodated interdisciplinary science.
It sounds extreme and abusive but African presidents are chief advertising agents for foreign slavery cast as expatriate jobs

SHIF or SHA heist: Enterprise Resource Planner Ruto sourced from Adani for $800 million costs less than $8 million in Kenya
The shares in this consortium are as follows when rounded off, the company associated with Adani controls 60 per cent, Safaricom and David Ndii-associated company 20 per cent each.

Ugandans lack socioeconomic transformation because public funds are only dished out to the ‘politically correct’
Land-grabbing and the settlement of an alien group of people in all parts of the country where the traditional ethnic groups of Uganda have thrived for centuries have brought into focus a well-coordinated plot to own every resource in a cultural void.
Rethinking environment: Why Uganda’s diverse ecologies face extinction in absence of informed management and conservation
Few environmental managers are aware that time is an integral component of the environment. They are also unaware that the environment is more than the physical environment (the ecological-biological) and include the socio-economic dimension, the socio-cultural dimension and the socio-cultural dimension (which includes the sociopolitical perspective).
