Relationship talk Love is not there anymore

• Upvotes

My workmate told me 😊

Love is not there anymore among people, they just have interests and goals.

Like he only needs someone to give him babies and the woman only wants a place to bring up her children from the previous relationship and one day she wanted to chase him out of his own home.

Me who is still looking for love 😔 I listen but with regrets and questions, what if the one I'm dating also brings first her interests and goals before love mwana. We are finished. Sometimes I even wish not to commit to someone but I should have a purpose in life.

So I do the right thing with low expectations hoping I fall into the right hands 😄 not opportunistic hands.

Peace out 🕊️

F4M relationship🤎 Let’s fall in love guys🌚🫢

7 Upvotes

Today I finally got the guts to make this post
22F and I’m looking for an attractive guy aged 24–29 who genuinely wants a relationship and is ready to put effort into one.
I want the dates, the thoughtful gifts, the long conversations, the laughter, the weekend plans, and all the little things that make falling in love beautiful.
I’m not the loudest or most extroverted person, so I’d love someone who brings out my playful, silly side and makes me feel comfortable enough to be myself.
I’m big on actions over words because men like to talk a lot with no actions. I love a man who takes initiative, plans dates, follows through, and shows me he likes me instead of just talking about it.
Please don’t DM me if you’re looking for something casual, temporary, or aren’t willing to put genuine effort into getting to know someone.
I want something real, intentional, romantic, and mutual. Someone who wants to love and be loved just as much as I do. ❤️
If this sounds like you, pls feel free to send a hey😌

Survey/Research KISORO: A LAND SHAPED BY MOUNTAINS.

Post image
3 Upvotes

​

Known for its breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural heritage and incredible wildlife, Kisoro is a destination that deserves more attention from Uganda and the rest of the world. And on 21 November 2026, the Virunga Gorilla Marathon offers you another reason to discover it.

Kisoro's landscape is unlike anything you experience in many other parts of Uganda.

The mountains of Muhabura, Gahinga and Sabyinyo are more than beautiful sights.

They are part of the region's identity, attracting adventurers, hikers, nature lovers and travellers seeking something different, creating a dramatic backdrop for everyday life.

Then there are lakes Mutanda, Mulehe, Chahafi, and Kayumbu where calm waters reflect the surrounding hills and volcanic peaks. Whether you want to enjoy the scenery, explore the lake or simply take a moment away from the busy pace of life, the experience offers a different kind of peace that's worth living.

Kisoro is also home to amazing natural attractions, including Mgahinga Gorilla National Park and access to the southern sectors of Bwindi Impenetrable National Park, which are habitats for endangered mountain gorillas, golden monkeys, as well as countless bird species.

A destination is never defined by its scenery alone. Its people are equally important.

Kisoro is home to communities including the Bafumbira, Bakimbiri, Bakiga, Banyarwanda and Batwa, each contributing to the area's social and cultural identity.

Kisoro's cultural heritage lives in more than historical accounts. For visitors, discovering this heritage adds meaning to the journey. It is a chance to move beyond taking photographs of beautiful places and learn about the communities that give those places their character.

Therefore, the Virunga Gorilla Marathon is more than an opportunity to compete in a race. It is an invitation to experience a destination.

Whatever brings you, Kisoro offers a reason to make the journey.

Register now via virungagorillamarathon.com, choose your distance and start planning your trip today.

Run. Explore. Conserve.

Opinion/Discussion StanChat to ABSA switch

• Upvotes

So I've been using standard chartered for a year now, for my monthly payments. Since this takeover, I've been asking myself if the fares are the same. To be clear, standard chartered hasn't been charging anything. Just the 3000 charge from when I receive the cash. Then it's been 3000 every mtn transaction I make, and then 5000 for airtel. Then maybe 5000 for withdrawal on a non standard chat atm. So I needed to ask the ABSA Veterans, how the experience is. And if not what i should opt for.

Opinion/Discussion Are Relationships the Only Thing Human Beings Talk About? 😂

• Upvotes

Guys, have you noticed that almost every conversation eventually finds its way back to relationships?

I’m convinced you could attend a conference on agricultural mechanisation, and somehow, by lunchtime, someone would be explaining why their ex was a narcissist. 😂 (this actually happened to me with a zambian lady i met at a conference in Nairobi)

And I’m not just talking about romantic relationships. Friendships, family, workmates, situationships, talking stages, people who stopped talking, people who should never have started talking. The entire human relationship department is permanently open for business.

Every TikTok Live I’ve joined seems to confirm this. You enter a Live expecting to hear something random, and within five minutes, someone is explaining how Lwanga wasted four years of their life.

And Lwanga, wherever you are, I hope you’re doing some serious reflection. 😂

But it got me thinking.

During COVID, I spent a considerable amount of time locked up at my parents’ house. Before that, I had always considered myself something of a loner. You know, one of those people who proudly announces, “I enjoy my own company.”

Well, COVID tested that theory thoroughly.

Because after spending enough time with myself, I discovered that, much as I enjoyed my own company, I was not nearly as entertaining as I had previously believed. 😂

I genuinely started missing people.

Not necessarily because I wanted anything from them. I just wanted to meet people, hear their stories, understand how they viewed life, what excited them, what frightened them, what they believed, and why they believed it.

There’s something incredibly stimulating about discovering another human being’s world.

And equally, there’s something deeply satisfying about someone taking a genuine interest in yours.

Think about it. Someone voluntarily sits down, listens to you explain your life, asks follow up questions, remembers little details about you, and actually wants to know more.

In this economy,where the dollar is 4,500 ugx ? Someone is giving you their undivided attention for free? 😂

That’s an underrated luxury.

I think that period changed how I viewed people.

These days, I can walk into a shop, have a brief interaction with someone, and suddenly become curious about their entire existence.

Someone is unusually kind to me, and I’m thinking, “You seem like an interesting human being. We should probably be friends.”

Someone is rude to me, and I’m equally curious. “My brother, what happened? Is this your personality, or have I arrived during a difficult chapter of your autobiography?” 😂

And of course, sometimes it’s a beautiful lady behind the counter, and my curiosity becomes remarkably enthusiastic.

Suddenly, I’m very interested in her worldview, childhood experiences, career aspirations, and whether she believes in giving strangers her phone number.

But seriously, I find people fascinating.

Which brings me back to TikTok Lives.

I’m always amazed by how freely people share deeply personal experiences with complete strangers.

You’ll enter a Live at 11:30p.m., and someone you’ve never met is explaining their childhood trauma, their parents’ marriage, their failed engagement, and why they no longer trust anyone whose name begins with J.

Meanwhile, strangers are listening, one person is sending roses, and another is commenting, “Men are naturally hunters.”

Sir, please. We’re discussing someone’s relationship with their father. 😭

But beneath all that chaos, I think there’s something profoundly human happening.

People want to be heard. They want to be understood. They want to connect. They want someone to care about the little details of their lives.

And perhaps that’s why relationships dominate so many conversations.

Because whether we’re discussing friendship, romance, family, Because whether we’re discussing friendship, romance, family, or even that colleague who suddenly starts treating you like a stranger because you didn’t contribute to their birthday cake, we’re ultimately talking about the people who shape our experience of being alive. 😂 we’re ultimately talking about the people who shape our experience of being alive.

Relationships can build people, break people, heal people, frustrate people, and occasionally convince otherwise intelligent adults to post motivational quotes about loyalty at 2 a.m.

Human beings are truly fascinating creatures. 😂

And maybe the reason relationships are such a universal topic is that, regardless of how independent we think we are, so much of life’s meaning is experienced through other people.

I’ve come to appreciate that simply knowing someone, listening to their story, or having someone genuinely interested in yours is one of life’s quiet pleasures.

M4M relationship🤎 M4M] Kampala/Uganda – Gay Ugandan guy looking to connect with a white expat or resident

• Upvotes

​

​Hi everyone! I’m a 24-year-old gay man currently living in Uganda. I’m open-minded, down-to-earth, and looking to meet a white man living in or visiting Uganda for dating, meaningful connection, or genuine companionship.

​A bit about me: I enjoy good conversation, exploring new spots, listening to music, and spending low-key time getting to know someone. I particularly tend to prefer white men when it comes to chemistry and attraction, so I figured I'd put myself out there and see who is around.

​If you are living in Uganda (or here long-term) and are interested in chatting, getting to know each other, and seeing where things go, feel free to send me a DM. Please be respectful and mature!

Opinion/Discussion Random Thought 02

4 Upvotes

For a while, I have been thinking what really needs to be done to make our country actually the whole Africa a better place I thought of an idea similar to Gadhafi's Pan african state one currency one language(English) and then it came to a part where 1 president is needed. And then for every country, they would be turning to states and states being ruled by a mayor working directly under the president.

Every state should be having 6 representatives (max) that make up a parliament raising issues of the state what needs to be done and so on creating one passport removing the taxes we collect from each other and making the taxes single like on imports and other stuff like no taxation on fellow states since we are all one country there's more to the details but 😅😅

Thinking about our leaders i will even be specific our leader and the Gov't alot of corruption in Africa its is very unlikely to happen like it cant happen i really donr understand the reason why people are tooo tooo greedy especially the ones in power. Personally i believe a person born in alot of wealth i think it gets boring to them sometimes that they start chasing purpose a few become drunkards or drug addicts some few begin working on certain projects or work to make themselves feel like they earned it like they're hustlers and the evil ones just begin to toy with people for fun if you know what i mean

Maybe its because I come from Class A broke background 😅😅😂😂 but there's really alot of stuff i dont understand i do know not everyone is supposed to make it wherever there is light darkness is to be found as well but i really hate conflict and i hate to see other people suffer because of some greed of other people yes there are some necessary sacrifices but i believe in equivalent exchange( To obtain something of equal Value must be lost) so my point being yes you can be corrupt but atleast make our infrastructure classy the roadss mahn steal our taxes but make our streets safe at night

create a society where kids and women are safe like atleast do something about that anyways there's more to my thoughts just dont want to make stuff lengthy

Vent/Rant 😤 AI at workplaces making people geniusly stupid

5 Upvotes

So lately I have been thinking and observing, AI is seemingly a good tool but it can also make a team seem more weird. Imagine you are sending emails left right centre and the entire debate or exchange is simply AI reasoning, ofcourse there is a human element at times but sometimes I notice it's people thinking they are smarter,one with a paid version comes and feels superior over others and e cycle continues. Instead of being rational and make a quick decision, we are continuously arguing and left unfulfilled with our deliverables.

Am just venting guys!!!!

Vent/Rant 😤 Stopped by Two Men in Police Jackets on a Dark Street in Kampala - Is This Normal?

3 Upvotes

I was driving home from dinner with my family when, the moment I turned onto the dark street leading to my house, two men on a bodaboda wearing police jackets suddenly stopped me and asked for my driving licence. I had done nothing wrong, but the situation honestly made me nervous, especially with my kids in the car. My window was open, and I couldn’t help wondering whether they had stopped me because they assumed I was a foreigner or an outsider. After checking my documents, they simply let me go. Is this normal in Kampala, especially on dark residential streets? And how should I handle situations like this or avoid unnecessary incidents in the future?

Opinion/Discussion Gold cartel

18 Upvotes

It starts with an introduction from someone who has already made money in gold. A "general" or "chief" then appears, linked to the Yiira (Nande) community of eastern DRC and holding a "mandate" to sell over 100kg. Real mandates and community documents exist, but the ones in these deals are forged. Senior-looking police or army figures hover around the deal, and some are not who they claim to be. The paperwork is drafted by a lawyer and wrapped in registered companies so it all looks legitimate.

Then the gold is "verified". You see bars in a known security company's vault, and a small portion, around 3kg, tests genuine. The rest is brass. The consignment then goes out in stages: a first shipment supposedly to Dubai, then a "compliance hold" by the UN Mineral office in Kenya, you’re required to pay fees, thereafter another stall in Brussels pending an ICGLR certificate (the regional conflict-free certification for Great Lakes gold), plus storage fees. When you run dry, a "lender" in Dubai appears through the same gold vendors, and the loan goes straight to them . Once the shipment is released from Brussels to Dubai , the lender in Dubai takes possession of the consignment as a lien until you pay off the principal loan and interest, and shortly thereafter you hear about arrests and fraud allegations in Dubai when you try to claim it. At the end of day, you’ve lost a lot of money and there’s no consignment to be seen.

A few red flags in gold transactions: - A seller you can't verify independently, with a "mandate" you can't authenticate at source - Gold that is always one fee, one permit or one certificate away from moving - Involvement of politicians, high ranking police officers or military - Pressure to deal in cash - Funding offered by a lender introduced by the other side

This is only a drop in the ocean. The scripts change and the characters rotate, but the pattern holds.

Opinion/Discussion UGANDA SHOULD RECLAIM THE ORIGINAL NAMES OF ITS LANDMARKS!

32 Upvotes

​

Lately, I've been thinking about how many of Uganda's most iconic landmarks still carry names rooted in our colonial history, despite the fact that these places existed long before they were given those names.

Take Lake Victoria, for example. Long before it was named after Queen Victoria, it was Nalubaale. That name carries its own history, cultural significance, and connection to the people who lived around the lake long before colonial rule.

It makes me wonder: why have we continued to preserve colonial names for our landmarks while allowing our indigenous names, languages, and histories to fade into the background?

What would it mean for Uganda to reclaim these names? Not simply as an act of rejecting European influence, but as a way of restoring our cultural identity, acknowledging the people who named and knew these places before colonialism, and passing that heritage on to future generations.

Of course, renaming landmarks raises practical questions. What about tourism, international recognition, historical records, and the different communities whose languages and traditions are connected to these places? And whose indigenous name should take precedence when a landmark has several traditional names?

But perhaps these are conversations worth having.

If these places belonged to our history long before colonial names were imposed on them, shouldn't we at least reconsider what we choose to call them today?

I'm curious to hear other people's thoughts.

Opinion/Discussion How deal with danger as a woman in Uganda?

2 Upvotes

Assume you have a stalker. How would you best defend yourself especially if he's escalating. The police are quite useless. This stalker is aware of your workplace.

I googled and tasers are illegal but of course that can't stop one from protecting themselves. How and where would one get an authentic can of pepper spray? How would they ensure it's actually effective given how Ugandans are excellent with selling counterfeit items?

Is carrying a knife advised? I'd say there's a possibility of having that turned on the woman?

Are there self defense courses or classes?

Please treat this like a serious scenario and give comprehensive advice. Thank you.

Two months back I posted about my obsession for the cleaner chic at my workplace

The chemistry seemed to be mutual even though I never said anything to her (I mean, eyes speak louder)

So, right about 2 weeks back, she disappeared from work, she left (or fired, I don't know) and of course I saw her replacement already

During my last post I had forgotten to tell y'all that she had a one year old kid

One of my fellow workers tells me, that the kid, is from the former manager !!!

At first I was shocked, but then seeing how beautiful this girl was, I couldn't deny even a single moment.

You'll very possibly see ghosts having fun! The ancients knew about it well.. the tradition is as old as humanity. Strange songs can be heard in the dead of night.. drumming originating in caves where no man can fit, and laughter that's heard in the distance like the crackling of thunder on eerie full moon nights such as we are currently cruising through. It is the season.. Halloween 2026 shall go well with what MAZERA has conjured... KABAGA WOMA (Live Darkfest) 💥🎃🙌 https://youtu.be/d81buAzenJQ
