WHAT DOES YOUR BODA GUY KNOW ABOUT YOU ?.

By Editor
 
First of all, let us make it clear that we have nothing bad against your boda guy or delivery guy. They are there to help you get where you need to go, and that’s great.
 
Your favourite boda guy probably helps you get around. They may even be someone you pay monthly. Did you know they might know a lot about you that you did not intend? For example, they might know your favourite beer, where you buy muchomo, and your ‘chips and chicken’ place. That is not all; they know where your kids go to school. After all, they pick up and drop them at school every day. They even know where you work because you send them to pick up keys for your house when your little brother or sister shows up at your door unannounced!
 
But why does this matter? 

Well, sometimes people can use this information for things you don’t want them to. For example, they might copy your key without your permission, or they might plan to get you beaten, robbed or worse if they know you’ll be out late.
 
So what can you do about it? First, knowing that you have a right to keep your personal information private is important. The law (The Constitution of the Republic of Uganda and the Data Protection and Privacy Act) protects your privacy from most types of interference by another person or institution.
 
One thing you can do is be careful about what information you share with your boda guy or delivery guy. For example, you might not want to tell them your child’s meal plan or school schedule. You might also not want to give them a key to your house or your national ID without someone else there to supervise. And if you’re going out at night, you might not want to tell them when you’ll be home.
 
Remember, deciding how much information you want to share is up to you. And if you’ve already given them the information you’re uncomfortable with, you should consider limiting their access to more information.

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...

        President Museveni at the passout of police officers in Masindi Friday https://www.facebook.com/1829407613953796 President Museveni has praised his Special Forces Command [SFC] guards for properly and legally beating National Unity Platform [NUP] presidential flagbearer, Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine. “The other day, there was a fracas in West Nile where our young friend Bobi Wine was fighting security people,” Museveni said Friday while passing out police recruits at Kabalye Training School in Masindi district. “I think they beat him a bit and then they came and said a Member of Parliament has been beaten. I said let me study and see how he was beaten. I found the man had been beaten in the right way,” Museveni explained. “This was because…I think this was SFC people who are not police-minded. They are used to doing other things. But somehow they managed to act properly, I was surprised.” When they [SFC] went where this young man was in the room, he had ca...

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...
