Maslow's hierarchy of needs teaches us that people must have their basic physiological needs met before they can meaningfully concern themselves with higher level needs.
How do you explain the importance of wildlife conservation to the average Nigerian who is hungry, struggling to survive and has little or no understanding of conservation?
Foreign Man Pays Men Attempting to Sell Sea Turtle Along Road Near Eko Hotel, Lagos, and Returns It to the Sea
"Today, I witnessed something that genuinely broke my heart but also restored a little of my faith in humanity.
While leaving Eko Hotel, Lagos State, I saw some men trying to sell a sea turtle in the middle of the road as though it were an ordinary item of trade.
A foreign man stopped and tried everything possible to stop them. He shouted, pleaded and appealed to the people around him, including the uniformed police officers present, to understand that what they were doing was wrong.
Sadly, it seemed his voice was the only one speaking up for a creature that couldn't speak for itself.
However, he refused to give up. He eventually paid the men for the turtle, not to own it but to give it another chance at life.
With the assistance of a police van, the turtle was taken back to the sea and released into its natural habitat."

Where legends begin.
@ElephantsRugby was my first rugby home and @elgonwolvesrfc was Sydney Gongodyo's. Busamaga rugby grounds was our first training ground and it shaped us both before the road led us to @piratesrugbyUG.
On Saturday, that road came full circle. Playing at home, the Elephants took on the best side in the Country and the defending Uganda Cup champions. They were written off before kickoff yet they tackled with heart, defended with pride and made Pirates earn every inch. The pride of Mbale City.....boys, you did our town proud.
Both teams also paused to honour a son of the game who gave everything to @UgandaRugby, from the land of the brave to the Pirates' shores.
Mbale made us brothers before rugby made us teammates. Gone, but never forgotten!
Rest well Guga, Rest well No. 7. 🙏🏾❤️

Most Ugandan school children are trained to be submissive. Their natural curiosity is beaten out of them by 10. Ugandan homes and schools produce children who can pass exams but have very limited capacity for thinking creatively and an unhealthy fear for questioning authority.

The music business is a very cutthroat industry that requires a crazy amount of resilience. Most keyboard warriors who sit and tell artists what to do all day wouldn’t even survive a day doing this work.

The conversation is getting tired. Stop wasting time drafting contracts and make 15s rugby as financially rewarding and commercially attractive as 7s.
Not everyone is playing purely for the love of the game, and there’s nothing wrong with that. If you love the game so much, build structures that make it sustainable for the people playing it. As things stand, rugby in Kenya is a foundational stepping stone to whatever path players eventually choose to take. We need to make it a destination, not just a stepping stone.
For a contract to have that much autonomy over a sportsman’s life is to dictate his destination. If you’re going to tie someone down and take away their freedom to choose their own path, then you have a responsibility to compensate them for the journey you’re demanding they take. You cannot demand someone’s future without investing in it.

This is the same pattern here, @UgandaRugby has also relied on short-term, performance-based contracts that prioritise 7's availability while 15's stay underfunded and less commercially attractive.
Players end up juggling day jobs or treating rugby as a temporary step rather than a sustainable career.
The real fix isn’t tighter contracts that restrict 15's play but rather building proper commercial structures so both codes can pay players well enough that exclusivity becomes unnecessary.
Until unions invest in making 15's a viable destination (not just a feeder or calendar filler), these restrictive deals will keep causing the same friction!

I’m officially getting into consultancy because how was I paid this much for just sharing my mind earlier today?
So, from now on let’s agree that I’m an Audio Expert and I’ll be providing support on tracks, events, bars and the overall sound experience.
The knowledge pays too.💰

Three-gun salute for neglected hero: UPDF honors pioneer aircraft engineer, top blood donor.
Educated at Kisubi College before proceeding to Lincoln and Colwell University in the UK, Capt (rtd) John Baptist Egessa graduated as one of Uganda's first aeronautical engineers.
His burial stood in stark contrast to the tragic realities of his final years, spent in extreme poverty and neglect despite decades of meritorious public service.

Kenyans calling Ugandans cowards for not "fighting like them" will never bother me.
Kenya is a flawed democracy. Uganda is a fully militarized dictatorship.
Here, it's not teargas and go home. It's abductions at 2am, torture chambers, forced disappearances, exile and bodies.
