Bad Touches; Is Massage Considered Adultery ?.

 
Nanzala never used to mind what she used to cut her nails. Her teeth, razor blade or sharp knife would always do just fine. This stopped when she saw Martha’s latest pedicure. Martha had her nails done by a nail tech. They were perfectly trimmed and filed, there was no cuticle, and the nail polish was to ‘die for’. Being a good Samaritan, Martha offered Nanzala a women’s day treat by taking her to her nails guy. 
 
Immediately Nanzala did not like the guy. He smiled like a ‘player’ and spoke with ‘stereo’, and his hands were too soft for an honest person, but because Martha had sent her there, she stayed. When the hand and foot massage began, the nail guy massaged her legs and touched her thighs. She asked him to stop, but he continued saying that’s part of the package and her friend even enjoyed it.
 
Growing up, Nanzala remembered these were called bad touches in primary school. Now that she is not in primary school anymore, what is she supposed to do about bad touches now? 
 
THE LAW SAYS
 
Bad touches are what is referred to in the law as indecent assault, which is a criminal offence. Simply, indecent assault means unwanted physical contact or advances of a sexual nature, such as unwanted touching, groping, or sexual remarks that make someone feel uncomfortable or violated.
 
Although Nanzala is not in primary school anymore, the law allows her to report the nail guy to the police for the crime of indecent assault, especially since she told him to stop, and he refused. Every one of us has the right to say no and to report any inappropriate behaviour to the authorities. Remember that you are not to blame if someone does something like this to you, and there are people who can help you if you need 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.

https://m.facebook.com/yusufosuta/photos/a.1896701010557789/2070383359856219/?type=3 OPEN LETTER TO NRM SUPPORTERS - NATIONAL ROBBERS MOVEMENT. .................................................................................. 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...

CAN I CHANGE MY MIND ABOUT THE INHERITANCE I RECEIVED AND ASK FOR SOMETHING ELSE ?.

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 ...
