By Prof. Latigo I had just sat a jiffy in my sitting room at home in Apokmitimogo A-C village, Apalepe Ward in Amolatar . It was a hectic day for me in Odiak market gathering cabbage leaves and pineapple peelings for feeding my two-dozen pigs in my sty. There was no maize bran in the whole trading centre and Imat Ocere mills for chicken and pigs. Posho for human feed was for the first time costing 4,200 shillings per kilogram. This year I had not done much farming of maize and rice because of the drought of 2021 which dried…
Enjoy the moment today
When TV came to my house. I forgot how to read books. When the car came to my doorstep, I forgot how to walk. When I got the mobile in my hand, I forgot how to write letters. When the computer came to my house, I forgot the spelling When the AC came to my house, I stopped going under the tree for cool breeze. When I stayed in the city, I forgot the smell of mud. By dealing with banks and cards, I forgot the value of money. With the smell of perfume, I forgot the fragrance of fresh…
Headache and testicles

The best of WhatsApp: Uganda at the Dubai 2020 Expo
[Once in a while, I land on articles that I find well reasoned, with great prose. Below I reproduce an article shared on the WhatsApp groups. Take time and read. You will learn a thing or two.] By Dr Daniel Tumwine Apparently among a section of Ugandans, if you criticize mediocrity, and downright laziness, and incompetence you are labelled “unpatriotic”, a “hater” and “negative”… To them, we must all sing “kumbaya” instead of confronting our weaknesses. No. I won’t be part of that game. If your spouse or mother won’t point out your flaws, who will? Your harshest critics should…
Best of WhatsApp: Presidental Address
As per the Uganda Government Presidential address over the status of covid-19 in our country, it is evident that schools (pri & sec) are to reopen the next year 2022. (No specific time frame) Over the same, I, therefore, have this to say: 1. Take heart. Relax and be positive towards life because all will come to pass. 2. It’s time for us to live a real life!

Best Of WhatsApp: Covid19 is an invisible army
This article is attributed to HE YK Museveni. It is a good read. “In a war situation, nobody asks anyone to stay indoors. You stay indoors by choice. In fact, if you have a basement, you hide there for as long as hostilities persist. During a war, you don’t insist on your freedom. You willingly give it up in exchange for survival. During a war, you don’t complain of hunger. You bear hunger and pray that you live to eat again During a war, you don’t argue about opening your business. You close your shop (if you have the time),…
