I WAS GIVEN A VALENTINE CAR AS A GIFT, BUT THE CAR DEALER WANTS IT BACK ‘MBU’ IT WAS HIRED!

#we_inform_the_uninformed .

Tina’s Valentine’s day was just perfect. In the morning while at her desk, the office attendant called her ‘mbu’ something was outside for her, and lo and behold; a Range Rover was in the parking lot. A large pink banner with the words, ‘Happy Valentines Day, my Love’ and her picture was spread out on it. She was so excited that her man was finally showing her the love she deserved. However, in the evening, she got a call from Byange Motors and the guy told her that he wanted his car back before 10pm because her boyfriend only hired it for one afternoon. Tina does not want to return the car, after all it was a gift and she did not know about any funny deals. Should she really return what was given to her as a gift?

WHAT DOES THE LAW SAY?

First of all, we need to understand what a gift is. By law, for something to be considered a gift, that thing must be voluntarily (without force) transferred from one person to another without paying or doing anything for it in any way(the doing of a thing in exchange for the gift is called consideration). In the law of gifts, there does not need to be any consideration meaning that a person gives you something without you giving them anything in exchange.

Secondly, ‘in the law of giving’ you can only give away what is yours. This is called having title/ownership which you can show using a document such as a logbook, land title etc. So, since Tina’s boyfriend did not have a title to the car (ownership) of the Range Rover, then he had no right to ‘gift’ it to anyone. This means that although she received the car, he did not have the authority to give it to her because he does not legally own it. The car belongs to the car dealership that called asking for it.

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

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...

Here is Why Our Utterances For Praying Jesus And God To Come Liberate Ugandans, May Be Misplaced. This Phrase is like inform of a Letter To Some Categorized Section Of Ugandans.

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...

Okello lost his wife 20 years ago and decided to only focus on their Mateo, Yona and Yosefu. 20 years later, Okello had 7 acres of land, a successful poultry business, and sinotrucks for hire. Early this year, Okello got a call telling him that one of his trucks knocked a boda boda. Okello decided to rush to see if he could sort it out before police became involved. Unfortunately, he never made it, as he was entering the main road, another trailer rammed into him and killed him instantly.   After Okello had been laid to rest, his sons sat down and divided the property amongst themselves. However, of late, Yosefu the last born has started complaining that he was cheated, and he wants to be given something else because most of the chicken in the chicken business died of a fever.   Can ...
