By Brian Friday Bwesigye It is 1305 hours, the thing inside wants the thing in the pot (ekyomunda nikyenda ekyomunyungu). Prof. Roger O’Keefe’s class starts at 1330 hours and dude keeps his time! Hit the cafeteria then. But isn’t the line in the cafeteria long? Students of other CEU departments have just reported, or maybe they have not yet figured […]

By JJ Mponye: Everything had been going on well between Nama, Tricia and I until Tricia’s curiosity got the better of her. She was snooping around for some sort of evidence in Nama’s bedroom when she landed on some bizarre stuff. It sent her scampering into the sitting room in unimaginable shock and anger. One would have thought she had […]

By Aaron Aroriza: 'God, this pastor doesn't respect Sunday. He spends it doing house work at my girl's, sorry his fiancée's place. He's not a good person. Please do me the miracle of getting him out of her life.' I was still sending this prayer to God when the youth pastor, beaming with a smile asked for my name. “I'm […]

By Mpuga Rukidi Mine is not the best of countries. It is not even well known, save for the prefix “one of the poorest countries in the world” every time Uganda is mentioned. In short, we don't have much. Despite all that though, we Ugandans are warm. The vague African sayings of giving a visitor a hoe after three days […]

By Aaron Aroriza: I am totally drained of all positive emotions, devoid of inspiration. Today I don't feel like doing anything, and that's the challenge I'm facing.

By JJ Mponye: I was initially unbothered about getting to know Nama and her life story. Why would I need to get the intricate details of a maid who is here today and gone tomorrow?

By Aaron Aroriza: She wasn't strikingly beautiful; in fact she wasn't striking at all. But she was beautiful and there was something attractive about her.

By Iteti: It's been two days since I last wrote my thoughts down and I am starting to realize just how 'un-easy' it is to keep a blog going. I always thought my creative juices would flow unhindered and without limits but ALAS! I was mistaken. It is one thing to write because you love it and it's another to […]

By Mpuga Rukidi You should have heard a lot about him by now, or have you? Am talking about Michael Sata, the new Zambian president, effective September 23 2011. Of course the old boys in the rest of Africa – a good chunk of them making effective use of their anti-aging creams – must be disgusted by the news of […]
