Ten things i hate about me..

1. My attitude towards books.I dont like reading!I hate books and anything that puts a strain on my mind.Ad rather wait for the movie version of a book than read a whole 500 plus pages.

2. Am too frank. Pretending is not my forte,i tell it as it is, if i dont like you i will not pretend with a fake smile and all...

3. Am good at keeping grudges. As said in an earlier blogpost,i rarely get angry but when i do it finds a permanent residence in my heart. I do not subscribe to the forgive and forget gibberish!

4. Am a joker even in situations that require seriousness! Am always trying to look for the funny side of things which may be annoying in some cases where seriousness is needed.

5. Am a last minuter. Sometime back,i used to be punctual,doing everything on time. Somewhere along the line,i lost track of time and nowadays you can find me struggling to finish tasks minutes before the deadline.

6. Am too critical. I blame this on the editing courses i did in campus that taught me to critically look for faults in everything. I will notice a missing coma in a sentence,and that will be reason enough not to read a story(okay,maybe am usually looking for an excuse to avoid reading as stated in 1).

8. Am a tomboy. Just like all the above,being ladylike aint my strong point! Makeup for me is just extra vocabulary,mascara should be some food like makoroni(sp),handbags are a punishment designed to widen/droop womens shoulders(btw am still asking,wat is it women carry in those huuuge handbags??!ave no idea!mine has vaseline,tissue,notebook and a coat to add a bulge!). I would rather buy a graffit(ed) tshirt at 600 bob than invest in a pair of stilletos!

9. I can eat anything! Maybe this should have been first on the list! I eat anythng as long as its edible. For me eating healthy is a get rich pyramidscheme thru which nutritionists try to rob us in broad daylight!chiswa,chisindu,chips,chifulufulu(am not sure if that last one is food but it sounds edible!) all find their way into my oesophagus or is it mitochondria and into my stomach!

10. The fact that i spend 30 mins to write things i hate about me!!thats being my own worst enemy,dont you think?!

Harnessing the Demographic Dividends Through Investments in Youth

African Presidents convened in Addis Ababa from 28th January to discuss the continents economic progress. The African Union (AU) has chosen 2017 to be the year of the African youth and dedicated the theme for the summit “Harnessing the Demographic Dividends through Investments in Youth” to young people. Demographic dividend according to the United Nations Population Fund is the economic growth potential that can result from a change in a population’s age structure. This happens when the share of the working-age population (15 to 64) is larger than the non-working-age population (14 and younger, as well as 65 and older). The central importance of the demographic dividend to Africa’s transformative development has been repeatedly acknowledged by African leaders at the highest level and in key ministerial platforms. If Africa is to rise, then she has to invest in the youth of her member countries . Evidence from the last ten years has shown that a demographic dividend lens is a strate...

7 Things I Learned on My First Week of FK Exchange

1. Uganda truly is the Pearl of Africa - Such a beautiful country, very green, lots of fresh air in the capital city (Yes Nairobi, it is possible to have fresh air in a capital city). I stay in a very nice neighbourhood with a pleasant view and lots of friendly neighbors. 2. I have the best of friends in my FK colleagues based in Uganda. - It's been only a week but we've made an effort to visit each other and find out where each of us lives. We also have a very active whatsapp group and whenever they  don't hear from you they will make an effort to call you and find out if you're okay. Ps- The outgoing FK fellows In Uganda are throwing us a "Welcome to Uganda" party ...and no, you're not invited coz you're not cool like us 😉 3. Luganda (Language of Uganda) is very easy to learn - Thanks to my awesome tutor, I already know how to greet people, call for a taxi and even shop for basics at the local market.

The Germanization of English!(maybe it could be easier if we all spoke this way!)

"The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility." As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English". In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c".. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f".. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter. In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible...
