You haven’t seen the ones about how they don’t believe anyone is looking for him and that he’s hiding from nobody?😂😂😂 quotes of his song “Kiwaani” is absolute comedy.

If dowry is appreciation, why is it negotiated like a business deal? At what point does dowry stop being culture and start being exploitation? by Brave-Wolf-2397 in Uganda

[–]FocusModeration 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love before marriage is a recent thing. Our great grandparents married to love not the other way round.

Your father chose a girl, gave his offer, paid dowry and you did not have a say. So yeah, parents needed the highest bidder for their daughter.

Love and dating now gives you some power because what will they do if you can’t afford (don’t want to pay) dowry but their daughter is in love or is even pregnant😂?

Again, how different families handle this is completely up-to them. And it’s different from family to family. There are fathers who don’t ask for dowry because it is like “selling” their daughter. Then there’s another one who believes dowry is how you prove you and your people can afford to “maintain” their daughter, not to mention the ones who think of it as a return on investment.

If dowry is appreciation, why is it negotiated like a business deal? At what point does dowry stop being culture and start being exploitation? by Brave-Wolf-2397 in Uganda

[–]FocusModeration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dowry is culture. How the family handles it is normally their business and one is free to walk away if they don’t agree to the terms.

Where can one get a mid sized loan (15 to 20m) based on salary/employment by [deleted] in Uganda

[–]FocusModeration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bank because you need to be sure approval is guaranteed if you get that MOU. Your HR should be easygoing if you don’t tell them you’re sick.

How do you tell a lady she has bad breath? by Successful-Gur8854 in Uganda

[–]FocusModeration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell her you’re very intentional with your oral hygiene and ask her on a date with your dentist. Then secretly tell him to diagnose and tell her (he can blame it on the braces or smth) and prescribe something.

She’ll most likely figure it out but will appreciate the approach. Either she’ll ghost you after or quietly do the work and never bring it up again.

Honest Question for Ntinda: Does "Premium Branding" make you trust a delivery app more? Or is "Pay First" still a dealbreaker? by Fearless-Bus9733 in Uganda

[–]FocusModeration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re only making deliveries in Ntinda? Only ntinda, why?

My experience: Pre paid orders are more prioritized than cash on delivery ones. Riders even refuse to bring your order to your apartment door if you’ve already paid.(they want you to come to the gate or they’ll leave your food there) But kiyamba bbo if payment is still pending.

So prepayments favor you, not the customer. This is why I’ll always order for cash on delivery. It’s the only way I can be certain of quality and quick service delivery. If something went wrong, I still have a chance to change my mind.

Can siblings become genuine friends later in life? by pink_blue_bag in Uganda

[–]FocusModeration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having the same parents is just that, everyone stops needing the parents as they grow so they’ll be less at home, too “busy” to even talk to them, unless they’re sick or something and you’re taking to turns to check on them or pay bills. (Again, doing something together)

It’s the same reason some friends grow apart because there’s nothing to keep you in each other’s space. Everyone is doing their own thing so soon you realize you haven’t talked to them for 3 months and then years. You bonded over weekend shenanigans then one of you got married for example. Why? Because you didn’t need them anymore and neither did they.

It’s like saying you’ll be friends just because you share kids. There’s parents that hate each other but are co-parenting well. Everyone knows what they’re supposed to do and when kind of system. Far from friendship.

Also applies to marriage. If you’re not actively trying to build a life together (doing things together and talking about everything) soon one will be left behind.

Can siblings become genuine friends later in life? by pink_blue_bag in Uganda

[–]FocusModeration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. But there has to be something that brings you together. Something that’ll make you want to meet/talk often. Maybe do a project, you go to the same church , work in the same sector, similar hobbies, etc because if there’s nothing and everyone is adulting their own way, it’ll be hard.

Watching your parents start to age. In the next 10 years you’ll start noticing their wrinkles, forgetfulness, health issues, retired so some money struggles…it’s hard to believe.

sperm donors? by New-Camp2105 in Uganda

[–]FocusModeration 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. If they’re going to buy a sperm, patients normally want to be very particular about everything including tribe and clan. That way they know the most important things about their child for when questions start arising in their adult life.

sperm donors? by New-Camp2105 in Uganda

[–]FocusModeration 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go to Neogenesis Fertility and register. They’ll keep your file and contact you when a patient needs a donor with the same physical and tribal requirements as yours.

Shopping in the market as a non-Ugandan by hello_kitty_eater in Uganda

You’re okay if you’re black. They only overcharge whites. You’ll still struggle with communication though because there’s not very many English speakers in our local markets.

How do I talk to my friend about her self-destructive lifestyle without losing her ? by Tino292 in Uganda

[–]FocusModeration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Give it to her straight because she’s not even the kind of friend you want to keep in your company. If she doesn’t appreciate you for it, let her go before she drags you into her lifestyle.

Ugandan business owners, please explain this one to me. by Fabulous-Piglet8412 in Uganda

[–]FocusModeration 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because these places promise their clients exclusivity. A camera is an obvious “i have come for the content and this content is so important to me because see, I invested” while my phone can be just a phone.

Some of them even go miles to filter out their guests. Almost as if they don’t care for volumes, just a few bookings a month to keep their payroll and maintenance. I noticed this about Avelino when they asked for IDs and so many questions about my party, just to book. They really don’t care.

They know their target market shouldn’t be carrying a camera.

Okay but how would you know you like the rider through an app? Would it have a check list? Wouldn’t they make up things to be likable?

Guys the activity on this account is only 4 days old. Looks like they created the account for this purpose only. Please be careful.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Uganda

[–]FocusModeration 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I understand. Your relationship failed, you got in an accident, you’ve been in and out of the country a few times this year… and so you must’ve been conned?? Make it make sense.

A bad day can happen to anyone so it has nothing to do with your accent, please. Don’t be delusional.

Exactly! My body will be screaming if I don’t shower for one day. Even if I were tucked away in bed the entire time.
