Entrepreneurship also needs access to affordable credit and a fair business environment. Courage alone can’t pay the rent.

Africa’s urban population is expected to almost double to 1.7 billion by 2050. Sub-Saharan Africa will host five megacities [with a population of over 10 MILLION]. Nigeria’s Lagos will be overtaken by Angola’s capital, Luanda, as the biggest metropolis. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Your wisdom keeps resonating in my mind papa. Eyalama noi noi kanu aijaanakin nepepe ka aicor ateker naka Iteso nepe ka Uganda kere. I acknowledge the wisdom your words Carry.

I have embarked on a journey of writing books to document historical events, preserve institutional memory, and offer thoughtful perspectives on the defining events of our modern times. History must not be forgotten, distorted, or left to speculation. It must be researched, documented, and preserved for present and future generations. I am profoundly grateful to my dedicated research teams for their intellectual contribution, commitment, professionalism, and tireless support in this important undertaking. Our responsibility is not merely to witness history, but to document it accurately, preserve its lessons, and pass its wisdom to posterity. History is our collective memory; knowledge is our enduring legacy. #Books #History #KNOWLEDGE

“The private sector is not for the faint-hearted. Business is tough, unpredictable and full of challenges, but it remains one of the greatest pathways to wealth creation, innovation, employment and economic independence. Entrepreneurship demands courage, discipline, resilience and sacrifice. The journey may be difficult, but the rewards of building something meaningful are worth the struggle.”

Today, I proudly celebrate a significant milestone: my registration as a Professional Engineer in Uganda, under the Engineers Registration Board (ERB), Registration No. 2313, in Mining Engineering. This achievement reflects years of professional practice, dedication and rigorous assessment. I sincerely appreciate the ERB and UIPE for upholding professional excellence. Engineering is more than technical expertise; it is an instrument of innovation, problem-solving and nation-building. This recognition carries a greater responsibility to uphold professional ethics and translate engineering knowledge into solutions that advance Uganda's industrialisation, mineral resource development and sustainable transformation. I receive this milestone with gratitude, humility and renewed purpose. Professional registration is not the destination; it is the beginning of greater responsibility. The true measure of an engineer lies in the value of solutions delivered and the lives transformed. @Busitema1 @Parliament_Ug @ubctvuganda @NBSBreakingNews @SpiceFMHoima @SMusherure

🚨BREAKING UPDATE: Texas tech entrepreneur Adam Robinson, his wife, their two young children, and several others have been identified in reports as victims of Sunday’s devastating Learjet 60 crash in Palm Beach County, Florida.🚨 Robinson, 44, was an Austin-based entrepreneur and the founder and CEO of several successful technology companies, including Retention .com, RB2B, and MoltSets. He was reportedly traveling with his wife, Helen Sharp, 40, their two young children, the family’s nanny, and two close friends when the aircraft went down. All nine people aboard were killed. Robinson grew up near Houston, graduated from Rice University, and spent approximately a decade working on Wall Street, including at Lehman Brothers and Barclays Capital, before transitioning into entrepreneurship. He went on to build multiple successful companies, including Retention .com, a marketing technology company reportedly generating more than $20 million in annual recurring revenue. He was known for building highly profitable businesses with small teams and without relying heavily on outside investors. His wife, Helen, was also an entrepreneur and ceramic artist who operated Helen Sharp Ceramics. The family was traveling aboard the 2004 Learjet 60, bound for North Eleuthera in the Bahamas. During the flight, the crew reported icing, turbulence, and precipitation before requesting clearance to climb to a higher altitude. Shortly afterward, the aircraft began descending at an alarming rate, with the crew reporting a descent of approximately 20,000 feet per minute. The two pilots have also been identified in reports as Captain Jeff Gregory, 55, and co-pilot Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras, just 20 years old. Please keep their families and friends in your prayers.

“Self-control is strength. Patience is wisdom. Discipline is power.”

“Wisdom is not measured by age, academic qualifications, wealth or positions of authority. It is revealed through sound judgment, humility, patience, self-control and the ability to distinguish what is important from what is merely urgent. Knowledge gives us information, experience gives us perspective, but wisdom gives us direction.”

Lear 60 is a high performance light jet that typically carry 2 pilots and 6 passengers. This aircraft had 9 people on board. So its safe to assume it's over loaded. When they encountered severe icing at 35,000 feet, instead of turning around and getting out of the weather system, they tried to go higher to 37,000 feet, which was a bad decision. Cloud tops in the region at the time were all the way to 45,000 ft. Aircraft was already pushing past its max performance capabilities. Likely the anti ice system got overwhelmed, wings got icing and lost lift. Then the aircraft entered whats called an over speed condition which they could not get out of. RIP 😢

🛩️💥BREAKING‼️ I’m on site at the “plane” crash, where locals do not believe the official story. Official accounts (FAA, Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, and ADS-B/flight-tracking data) identify the aircraft as a Learjet 60 (N722BD) that entered a steep high-speed descent before impact around 12:50 p.m. Missile claims appear to be circulating online and among some residents, similar to past high-impact crashes where the dive and explosion looked unusual on video. President Donald Trump just took off on Air Force One from the Palm Beach Airport. Days before the election. Timing is suspicious. Thoughts?

The pilots reported manageable icing before the accident. This is a major investigative lead, but not proof of an icing-induced loss of control. Ice can increase drag, degrade aerodynamic efficiency, affect stall behavior and create additional demands on the aircraft's performance. Investigators should establish whether the wing, engine inlet and other relevant ice-protection systems were operating correctly, whether any abnormal accumulation occurred, and whether the atmospheric conditions exceeded the aircraft's certified icing envelope.

Ethiopia’s Prime Minister, H.E. Abiy Ahmed, has unveiled an impressively lean Cabinet, bringing together highly qualified professionals, including numerous PhD holders and experienced specialists across key sectors. This is a powerful statement on meritocracy, competence, technocratic leadership and efficient governance. Africa must increasingly prioritize expertise, integrity, performance and results over political patronage. A government should be judged not by the number of ministers appointed, but by its capacity to deliver economic transformation, industrialization, prosperity and improved livelihoods for its citizens….congratulations !!! @AbiyAhmedAli

PRESS STATEMENT Kampala, Monday, November 2, 2026 UPDF Commences Withdrawal of Bilaterally Deployed Troops in Somalia The Uganda People’s Defence Forces (UPDF) has embarked on the drawdown of troops deployed in Somalia under bilateral arrangements with the Federal Government effective immediately.

Ethiopian Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has put his cabinet ministers and other senior government officials through military training, saying armed forces discipline can help build stronger leaders. Vintage securocrat! bbc.com/news/articles/cmwyv2…
