Busulwa John Ivan

I am writing this with a full heart. Having studied Law at @MakerereLaw and the Bar course at @LDC_Uganda, I wanted more beyond the confines of legal practice, I wanted to build the world I wished for.  I was fortunate to be admitted into @NotreDame on scholarship. Fast forward, over the weekend, I graduated with a Master of Science in Engineering, Science & Technology Entrepreneurship from the @NotreDame with a GPA of 3.84 out of 4.0. In addition, I completed two professional certifications at the @CFI_education: Financial Modeling & Valuation Analysis (FMVA), where I scored 100% in 3 exams and averaged 90% overall, and the Financial Planning & Wealth Management Professional (FPWMP)certification, where I scored 100% in 2 exams and averaged 94% overall. In a special way I'd like to thank @Maria_Nakalanda, @Uwihanganye_A, and my parents for the support and guidance they gave me throughout the course of my studies. You believed in me on the days I found it hard to believe in myself, and that made all the difference. To everyone who has been part of this journey in any way especially the @LeoAfricaInst network, thank you. I do not take any of it for granted. And yeah! Will be graduating from @LDC_Uganda next month with a Postgraduate Diploma in Legal studies too #GoIrish☘️ – at Notre Dame, IN

.@griffarinaitwe, run some numbers in preparing for this week's article, and turns out my guess right. MTN Ghana leads on various benchmarks, though MTN Nigeria leads on Revenue and Subscribers which is understandable given Nigeria's demography. Looking at the 9 months reports from Ghana, Nigeria, Rwanda and Uganda, I can already guess what the answer to my question is.

I am doing some analysis on Uganda Telecom sector specifically Airtel and MTN. I have had to read and compare @UCC_Official 's quarterly Market reports. It seems like there's an inconsistency in UCC's reports vs the performance of MTN and Airtel as reported in their earnings and annual reports For example; in one of the reports by UCC, it mentions industry revenue was down by 3% yet in that same quarter MTN and Airtel revenues grew by about 11% Bear in mind MTN & Airtel control about 99% of the market. Not only that, but figures in UCC's Market reports on internet traffic as well. I was hoping to find some helpful information but I think it's better to stick to MTN and Airtel financials.

I thought I was the only Ivan Busulwa. I had never met any other in my entire life 😂😂😂😂 Today I've found another one. Turns out he's a lawyer too🙌🙌😂😂😂 Small world!!!

Dr @ReachDrMuganga you're using so many words. The question is a simple one, "How many students were you approved to admit into the program?" If at one point you felt VU had the capacity to accommodate more than 50 students, why didn't you go back to the Pharmaceutical Society of Uganda for approval to increase your uppet limit? Even if you the facilities as you claim, that doesn't change the fact you did it in total disregard of the law. These are questions of law and fact. The story you published in New Vision is actually the case you would have made to @PharmacistsUg

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Since you're in Week 4 of Corporate and Commercial Law, my advice is don't go into the IA without knowing when to advise the client to go for a Non-Deposit Taking MFI or a Money Lending Institution. PAs love that question😂😂😂 Also whenever you see something that implies "Membership", the appropriate entity is likely a SACCO. Also the Financial Institutions Act has so many Regulations, over 15 there under. Make sure you know have them. Remember, though SACCOs have their own regulations under the Tier 4 Microfinance Institutions (SACCO) Regulations, beyond a certain level of Assets about UGX 1B, they are regulated by BOU Lastly, consider the recent occurrings in the Economy, increasing CBR rate, rising forex rates make sure you're not caught unaware. Have the Foreign Exchange Act (most students forget to carry it) Make sure you also have the Forex Bureau regulations. Don't only rely on the law, read BOU circulars as well especially those issued recently. Money Laudering is also a key component, ensure you have the Anti-money Laundering Act, it establishes the Financial Intelligence Authority Act that all Financial institutions report to. Otherwise, this is one of the weeks you can excel in highly. Usually questions do not you to draft pleadings and most of the documents, forum and procedure that you need is within the Schedules to the Regulations of the respective statutes. All the best, you got this🔥

One-time while I was in high school on visitation day, my Dad said something to me (after a wanting academic performance) that has stuck with me to day. It was about Talent, the statement stuck with me and basically shaped my entire life and the priorities I chose from that time when I was 15, to-date. My hope is that any young person there on a path to self discovery finds this helpful and inspiring. For this one, credit goes to my Dad.🤭🤭🤭 #RandomThoughts

The things that warm my heart🤗🤗 What started as an escape from the boring weekends has now become a weekly fulfilling routine

That's true for sure. Most are moving to Kenya as a way of curbing the Supply chain risk associated with having production in Asia among other factors. Looking at Africa, Kenya has the infrastructure and the cheap labor so it has become a preferred go-to for most of the fashion brands
