What Makes Him Wise

-
He loves to be captain,
To take risky commissions,
Ponder all solo,
Solo finding life that will keep him lured,
For passion’s in being lured.
He’s useful here,
He’s useful there,
Then conducts lone speeches for later.
It is called relevance
It is called astuteness
To think of next
To think of dawn.

Inspired by his post.

Confessions of a Distracted Student: Social Media vs. My Studies

     Me distracted at the Kampala Writes LitFest Social media addiction has hijacked my reading and writing. This is my confession, as a first-year Humanities student studying Literature, English, and Journalism. It has been done so that I can barely focus on reading a single page. My daily routine has been to spend most of my free time on social media. One and a half hours on YouTube punctuated by quick checks of Instagram, X, and Facebook. The constant beeps from notifications keep me checking my phone or laptop every other second to read the information that someone has shared or find out what is trending. This constant need to check my phone or laptop has affected my academic performance. Social media has an impact on both reading and writing skills. This reduces literacy among young people. A recent study by Associate Professor Leonie Rutherford suggests that younger readers find it hard to get suitable books to read. This has led to a decline in reading. A survey ...

Is Africa Blessed or Cursed?

-
Is it really true that the U.S.A., India, China, Europe, Argentina, and New Zealand can fit into Africa? And that Zambia, Zimbabwe and the DRC have the potential to feed the world? Someone saw the River Congo for the first time and took a long time to realise it was a river because of its massive width. I want to see it. And the Niger. And Zambezi. At least I’ve seen the Nile. Is it true that the DRC has 90% of the world’s cobalt? Is there any country in Africa which has no minerals? Is it true that Asia and Africa were the first homelands of Judeo-Christianity?

Malooo...Kyalooo - Part Two

Apart from taking me to her children's school and Buckingham Palace where I saw two foot guards from the Household Division marching around (the ones that wear scarlet tunics and tall black fur caps known as bearskins), the Victoria Memorial sculpture in front of the palace, my former boss’ wife walked me through the Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Street (where I saw many famous shops and restaurants), Regent Street, St. James park and then we entered St James' Palace to visit her friend whose husband is a chef at Buckingham Palace. Her friend also used to work there as one of Princess Diana’s maids or something. We had met her friend at their children’s school then she invited us to her place for tea. She had to inform the guards at the gate about our coming or else they would not have let us in. St. James is still a working palace though the monarchy has not lived there in quite some time. I got to see where Prince Charles and his sons live. I hear the palace is also home to Prin...
