WHY I DON'T WATCH BIG BROTHER.

I don't know our house mates, I don't know the day and time when they went into the house, I don't know who was evicted or who is up for eviction, I don't watch or follow big brother. Those answers have been subjected to utter ridicule from my friends who find me naive for not keeping up with the trend as they call it.

I don't wanna say that I am totally innocent, there was a time I was a victim of this pathetic show, that time I followed every detail in the house day in and day out credit to Gaetano -the man who took it upon himself to publicly display his bedroom skills on TV.

But that was then, ever since then, I decided that there is no way am gonna waste a single minute of life watching a bunch of idle and selfish people under house arrest with 24/7 surveillance cameras, moving up and down just to see another day waiting for their three month curfew to be lifted.

Apart from that I failed to see the purpose of this show; What do we learn from watching people whose work is reduced to only waking up, sleeping and the obvious one of eating, people whose leisure is sex and getting cozy with the opposite sex though the later has become an attribute to whoever wants to win. What impact does it have on the society or even to the participants? What skills do house mates attain after the show?

I find this as ploy by producers to render people unproductive by keeping them glued to the TV sets through the day as they mince millions of dollars from companies sponsoring the show. Or If its true that the producers are responding to the consumer behaviors of the people as it is alleged then trust me our society has gone to the dogs and thorough rehabilitation is needed to revamp this precious generation.

If this show is not sheer madness, then what the hell is it?

Can social distancing prevent the spread COVID-19 in Uganda?

Source: Petrol/CanStockPhoto In a country where most people live hand to mouth, and most business rely on daily consumer spend, advising people to stay home isn't viable. The brutal truth about social distancing is that people will loose wages and jobs. This will change the course of their lives in a traumatic way. We need to be able to sacrifice for each other, not only for the people who are vulnerable to Coronavirus but also to the people who maybe hurt and lose their livelihood as a result of social distancing. To some people losing their only source of survival is death in itself. Limiting social, prayer and political gathering to only 10 people while Owino, Kikuubo, Nakasero market, Nasser road and taxi parks(the most crowded places in Uganda) remain open is counter productive and defeats the understanding of many. It's similar to leaving your clothes in the dirt to dry after washing. And am not saying that these places should be closed, just pointing to the fla

THE HUSBAND WHOSE WIFE LEFT

He was shocked. He had been coming back home from an overtime shift with a bag of groceries for dinner, but there was nothing that could prepare him for this. The apartment was empty: no wife, no kids. Just some old memories of what was, only a few days ago of an ordinary family life. He felt his legs sink, the knee caps shake and just like boiled spaghetti, his boneless body shrunk and gradually collapsed to the floor. A shock of fear, a dread of not knowing. A sadness, a loneliness, a grief, a fear: it all came like an ocean wave, all at once. It all came as a single wave of pain and misery, an overwhelming feeling that nothing would ever again be okay. He rushed to the bedroom calling the kids name - Opio, Akello, Opio, Akello. The loud and chaotic response of "Yes Dad" was no more. There, in the kids room, he found a simple note on the floor. He unfolded the letter and read it. His eyes widened as he read the note over and over again, each time feeling the dread inside

Day 12 of Reading The Purpose Driven Life

You're so close to God as you choose to be. Your friendship with God won't happen by mistake, it takes desire, time and energy. If you want an intimate, deeper connection with God, then you must work towards developing it. An intimate relationship with God requires that you are totally honest with him about your faults and feelings. He doesn't require you to be perfect but He requires honesty, none of God's friends in the Bible was perfect. If perfection was a requirement, we would never be his friends. A deeper relationship with God also requires total obedience in him through faith. Trusting and doing what God says, even when you don't understand it, will deepen your relationship with him. Jesus said, "you're my friend if you do what I command ". Friends care about what's important to the other person, the same applies to your relationship with God. You must choose to value what he values, the more you do that, the deeper your relationship w
