Dear Alcohol,We Need To Talk!!

Dear Alcohol we need to talk, I thought I'd take a minute to discuss some troubling factors with you. First and foremost, let me tell you that I am a huge fan of yours. Yes, my friend you always seem to be there when needed: Hidden inside chocolates you warm us up when we are stuck in the midst of endless family gathering. Yet lately, I've been wondering about your intentions. You see, I want to believe that you have my best interest at heart but I feel that your influence has led me to unwise consequences, briefed below for your review: 1. Phone calls: While I agree that communication is important, I question the fact that any conversation of substance could occur at 3am in the morning. Why would you make me call my ex boyfriends/girlfriends when I know for a fact they do not want to hear from me? 2. Eating: Now you know I love a good meal and though cooking is not my speciality, why do you suggest that I eat grilled steak with chilli sauce, 2 minute noodles, stale chips and drink nescafe with a kit Kat in my hand is beyond me. I think sometimes you go a bit too far. 3. Clumsiness: Unless you are trying to tell me that I don't have any balance, is it necessary to make me fall down the stairs and cause those black and blue marks that I get the next day. Similarly, It should not take me 45minutes to get the key into the lock of my front door. Further more these hangovers that you cause need to stop. I'll do my part, drink water, and take panado & grandpa before I go to sleep but please do your part and don't let your hangover interfere with my daily activities. Especially on Mondays. Alcohol I have enjoyed our relationship for some years now and want to make sure that we remain on good terms. You have been my much needed companion when I don't know what to do with the extra money in my pocket. In order to continue our relationship you must carefully consider my above mentioned grievances and address them immediately. I will look for an answer no later than Thursday 5pm (PRE HAPPY HOUR) on your possible solutions and hopefully we will continue our fruitful partnership.

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...
