UGANDA GOVERNMENT SHUTS DOWN SOCIAL MEDIA. Sunday 1 July 2018. The government of Yoweri Museveni who has been in power for 33 years is facing a revolution similar to Arab Spring that showed many dictators the exit out of office. The people of Uganda have suffered under Museveni government for the break down of services. Many Ugandans started pouring their frustrations on social media’s calling for the removal of Museveni. The international community has been hipping praises on dictator Museveni and the world Bank and IMF have been giving false economic growth rates for the regime in Kampala oblivious of the people’s sufferings. The current exchange rate of a dollar to a shilling is $1 to 4000shs. The government starting July 1st, 2018 has levied $0.90 daily tax on the Internet thus making it impossible for the citizens to access the Internet. Uganda is one of the poorest countries in the world and putting internet tax on the people, will further isolate the country from accessing international news and also the tax will impact businesses that rely on internet. Ugandans are trying to fight the taxes by accessing other internet providers such a VPN that made it possible for the Ethiopians to access the Internet, after the Internet was blocked in that country.

UGANDA GOVERNMENT SHUTS DOWN SOCIAL MEDIA.

Sunday 1 July 2018.

The government of Yoweri Museveni who has been in power for 33 years is facing a revolution similar to Arab Spring that showed many dictators the exit out of office.

The people of Uganda have suffered under Museveni government for the break down of services. Many Ugandans started pouring their frustrations on social media’s calling for the removal of Museveni. The international community has been hipping praises on dictator Museveni and the world Bank and IMF have been giving false economic growth rates for the regime in Kampala oblivious of the people’s sufferings. The current exchange rate of a dollar to a shilling is $1 to 4000shs.

The government starting July 1st, 2018 has levied $0.90 daily tax on the Internet thus making it impossible for the citizens to access the Internet. Uganda is one of the poorest countries in the world and putting internet tax on the people, will further isolate the country from accessing international news and also the tax will impact businesses that rely on internet.

Ugandans are trying to fight the taxes by accessing other internet providers such a VPN that made it possible for the Ethiopians to access the Internet, after the Internet was blocked in that country.

UGANDA ELECTORAL COMMISSION TO ELIMINATE NATIONAL IDENTIFICATION CARDS (IDs) FOR 2021 GENERAL ELECTIONS.

By Editor
The elimination of using National IDs (Ndagamuntu) for the 2021 elections should not have come as a surprise. One would be very NAIVE to think that Bobi Wine has not prepared for this in his Business Plan under the RISK section. It is public knowledge that our EC is not independent.  It is also public knowledge that Military Dictator Yoweri Museveni will never lose an election. What stunned us this morning is when we noticed that on social media, people were mocking Bobi with his "get your Ndagamuntu".  We are on record for saying to all Our readers that the National ID is like Apartheid in South Africa. Students of History would know how those IDs were being used to arrest people, deny them jobs, deny them basic services. Consequently, Bobi was not wrong and will never be wrong on the Ndagamuntu. Except the ones attacking him and mocking him forget that in Uganda, now, no National ID (Ndagamuntu), no service.  If you have not been denied registering your child i...

Last week of March, a friend told me to pray for Uganda.  I told him that he was an Idiot and we have prayed for too long and we are still hungry and sick and Jesus is not coming soon to liberate us. He then ignored the STUPID and sent me a picture we all now know.  It got me totally messed up.  This guy was telling me to pray then sends a picture of men bowing down in blood.  He might have meant guns but I blocked him because his utterances of praying for Uganda were misplaced. I unblocked him 3 weeks later and asked him about praying and assassinations.  His reply "eithrr prayers or guns or both". I hate violence with a passion.  So he is now blocked in like FOREVER. Do you feel safe?  Do not feel safe. Uganda regim...
