  Last night we just witnessed a man beat a woman and throw her into a wall. The scariest part bout' this is the fact that this behavior is not RARE. One in three women are abused in the hands of a man!! Here's what it means...1 in 3 women beaten by a man in their life time- this means that EVERY SINGLE DAYY you are walking past hundreds of women that are suffering in a way similar to the woman I saw being beaten and injured yesterday 😢  one of the way we address this issue is this... We must realize that we are dealing with a HUGE SYSTEMATIC  ISSUE. This is not a few crazy men that are hurting women. This is an entire GLOBAL DYSFUNCTION in which we have positioned women as our possessions rather than people. Here's why that matters, Patriarchy is a system that positions every thing that is feminine as less valuable and "in service of" the masculine. Henceforth men viewing women and femmes as tools. And that dehumanization often lead to abuse. And so here's t...

 …you can’t punish pple for their mistakes. It’s like… ok u now u have to forgive pple and big part of that is, FORGIVING YASELF. We don’t forgive ourselves for all the bad stuffs and/or all the mistakes we made and it makes it is impossible to forgive other pple. The time I stayed with my dad (because I lived with him since I was a baby until 23) I talked to him on phone 😔 he still is reminding me of all the stuffs he used to educate me and teach me to carry my whole life thru. I just learned what LOVE is! Love is not punishing pple for and beating pple on em’ for what they did and hanging on to that trifling kind of f**** up shit 😉 you know they did to you, and it’s like… getting out of being a victim. And my dad with all the time we been together (from my comprehension of life until now) he was a drunk BUT… he purified my heart in a way that I LOVE LIFE! Like I literally like working with pple to helped find my true self and my dad helped cultivate an emotional invisibility. T...

 I'm tired man sometimes I just sit in my room and hold my breath and let all the pressure and anxiety build up. And just let the time pass by. At first, I couldn't breathe now I'm suffocating maybe the pressure from what I am chasing isn't worth for me. I used to say God's playing now the devil's on my team acting foul and it's all flagrant, trying to push me off the path that I'm steady paving. Sinis the currency and every day I'm making payments so I don't wanna live in it but I heard a saying which goes like; "Good knows evil 'cause the houses are both adjacent". I don't know if I should go for these goals. I'veseen people who make it in life and become disrespectful to others. My anxiety is building as the weight of it grows, I succumb my self in privacy inside my room and I barely answer calls and when I see my phone. I'm reminded that the real feeling of being alone is having millions who love you but can leave yo...

  I always have a drink or maybe a few. I am naturally and super weak when it comes to drinkin’, because probably two bottles of beer, one shot of scotch whisky and about two or three glasses of dry red wine gets me intoxicated, so, If you have enough drinks here is what it could do for you; It fogs your thoughts and takes away your clarity. It can make you say and do really dumb things that you regret but that stay in your memory storage forever. It creates exaggerated and negative emotions like jealousy, guilt, shame and blame. It makes you numb. It makes you forget things. It helps you sing off key and play your instrument sloppily. It takes away your muse and your guardian angels don’t know what the hell to do with you. It can make you silly, sloppy, slurry, slovenly, arrogant, annoying, abrasive, obnoxious, caustic, pathetic, intolerable, condescending, insulting and belligerent. Have I forgotten any adverbs or adjectives here?! Well, It helps you lie and exaggerate. It helps...

Like seriously 🤔 What is school for?! Feel free to call me whatever, but many people like you and I spent over ten or sixteen years to go to school and for me I still don't know. Many of us finish school, we do not even know how to do our own taxes, purchase a home or apply for a loan. We do not even know a thing about investments, building credit or getting a job. Many graduate at the top of their classes, some were average performers and what do they have? Fancy Degrees or diplomas just to sit at home with their parents or struggling on the streets. But luckily enough in school they did teach us some important skills like: the factoring trinomials and how mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell. I'm so happy I can still remember the Pythagorean theorem cause it helped me a lot. Okay that's a lie let me stop. Because all the stuff they taught us truthfully we've already forgotten - I know you can still remember when your parents used to ask you: " what did you...

  To whom it may concern... Choices and decisions! “Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.” Mark Twain The minds of the people are easily swayed by the pressures of hardship. Their decisions become clouded by fears that cause them to take actions out of desperation — actions they know are wrong but become easier to commit when their resolve has been chipped away. Mob mentality is a vacuum that pulls people with good intentions toward a destructive center. There are many who stand on the fringes as the anger of a group begins to boil, but soon they are confronted with a moral dilemma when this collective anger turns into harmful actions. A mob cannot retain power if there is dissent or questioning: those who hesitate against its violence are branded as allies of their enemy, or radicalized into complacency until they are one with the group. But anger cannot feed a group forever, and those who build upon its unreliable foundation will...

 On my birthday week I was intercepted (at around 7:44pm) by mzeei's pigs for breaching his curfew guidelines of 7pm probably it was about forty minutes pass his authoritarian imposed PlanScamdemic or Covid-19 scamdemic curfew protocol. In today's Uganda it's about who you know not "what u know." I was given about 10 minutes to call somebody who'll have to come and pick me up (probably will have to pay for my release) so I decided to call my cousin who's anOan CID (insin division in Kla where I was detained because I'd gone for work issues) the rest is history but all I can say is "the Uganda Police Force" institution is super CORRUPT ;)  So today I wait for midnight 😄 to come and of course was/still delaying! But I still stayed up watching "VAGABOND" (a Korean TV show/series) weary of staying up counting covid-19 cases in the whole Universe (with Uganda my principal point) death tolls here and there, tired of counting how many day...

  Who made the universal decision that we should eat lunch at twelve. Who decided that it should take fours years apiece to finish highschool and college. Who made the decision a minute should be sixty seconds and an hour should be sixty minutes- These are all QUESTIONS I've been asking my self recently and I've come to realize that while "Time" itself is created by God, its perception was created by humanity and materialized by this clocks we put on the wall.  See there's nowhere in the world you can go and not find a clock and that's because we as SOCIETY put them there to REMIND you; society says you should brush your teeth for two minutes, society says you should sleep for eight hours, society says you should be done school by twenty-two, a career by twenty-five, a family by thirty. Be successful by forty and retire by sixty.  You see, we've created this one side but it fits our timeline for life thinking we can ALL wear the SAME clothes. And when we p...

Some old adage says "practice what you preach", well do you practice what you preach?! Because more often we're caught off guard and/or ironically do not do what we teach to others. Take an instance of an "Entrepreneurship teacher" who teaches this life-support subject but hasn't owned any sort of entrepreneural or business. And also people who make school policy are mostly policymakers who've never taught a single day in thier lives. A church ardent who prays day in day out but when someone done then wrong they hardly forgive yet "FORGIVENESS" will never miss the prayer menu; all of these few examples draws me back to my first experience with ARVs (HIV medicine) however, in form of Post Exposure Prophylaxis (Pep) owing to my suspected exposure to the HIV virus. Back in 2019 I had a very stellar moments of my youthful life; some experience that nothing will ever take away from me. Not even death- no! I travelled across this entire country from ...

Boundaries are set rules and limits one put in place to creat a safe way to interact with others. Boundaries can be physiological, emotional, and physical. And creating boundaries can lead to better emotional and mental health along with developing better sense of self-  identify what your request is of your partner, communicate with ya partner bout' your requested boundaries and expectation round' the ask. Tell your partner what the request is however make sure not to over explain yourself. Make sure to tell your partner why your boundary is important to you along with why you them to be respected. The difficult part is when the boundary is crossed, make sure to follow thru and hold your partner accountable when the boundary and the agreement is not respected....

  You know I can't go on with any regret. Our relationship is hard like a game of roulette We're off and on so constantly And you cheating... come on, honestly. This is a hard thing to say but needs to be said. I can't go on being with you... sometimes I'd rather be dead. You treat me so bad and make me cry. Don't worry anymore, no need to lie. You have hurt me a lot and I want you to know I will never love you again, so let me go. I've made up my mind, I've made my choice. I soon will be happy and able to rejoice. It's over now; you should think long and hard. Maybe next time you won't cheat. I loved you so much and you acted like normal. You even got yourself a date to the Valentine's Formal. I treated you no less than my everything. You went behind my back. You lost my trust you broke my heart. Now I need to reboot and maybe restart. Written for my cousin Nicole  (little Mermaid-Angelh-Angel verseeverse) and her apparent ex boyfriend. #Unappol...

 Do you ever meet people who teach you about self worth without saying a word ? I was born to treat a janitor with the same respect as the CEO. Back in 2014 during senior six vac, I was staying with my aunt in Gulu. She once hired a farmhand he was a young man in his early thirty. The young man was an Acholi from Purongo (let's call him James) and was employed to work at the farm. He was hired during school holiday and I was present when he came for his first day at work. He would wake early, work in the farms. My aunt had several farms. So, he accompanied her and her other farm workers. Now, my aunt's day starts at 4am and by noon she's done. So, afternoon you would find him (James) all washed up, neatly dressed and chilling in the garden. My aunt had several workers. Some at the house, others were cattle keepers, ground keepers, askaris etc. She hadwwwwwww an entire battalion. Each member of the battalion had their own duties. Now, one day something happened and we needed...

It's going to be hard, but so what?! Be prepared to do it hard, I always summon every bit of energy in me and say it's going to be hard but I am ready to play it hard because here is the thing; your body will fight back or my body will fight back, it will say " wait you can't go it's too hard" yourind will tell you things and it'll start to show things that are limitations, you'll start to hear voice of people telling you " what are you trying to do." Everything that you've always wanted to do that's worthwhile is hard but not everything that is hard is worthwhile, I want you to understand that and make the distinction but everything that is worthwhile is HARD!  So make it hard; it's okay! You've never booked ten people in an hour do it, you've never collect garbages to make a living do it. You've never walked 10 miles looking for prospects to sell your products do it... You've never swept someone's compound to...

  One of the things that I have learnt to be whatsoever I want to be is that I have to understand having pride in my self. I have to have self pride meaning I'm absolutely comfortable with who I am, comfortable with the person I represent. Proud that God made me the way I am, proud to be the person that I am and the things that I do make me proud, I am proud of my decisions. I am proud of the people that I've gathered around my self, my family, friends and People that I call dear to me, I am proud of it! I am super proud of my intelligence, my knowledge, I'm proud of everything that I stand for. I've gotten to that place and understand that; that's the principal, now I'm so proud that IAM INNO! so I don't need to go around, walk around apologizing to people or trying to look something that I am not or trying to sound something that I am not or trying to appeal to people in so many different ways just so they can have approval, they can say Inno we accept you...

  Some of the best movie actors in the world, the most successful people in the world. The likes of Denzel, Will Smith, Harrison Ford, I can go on you know Leonardo DeCaprio, these are very very successful people, they're fantastic actors and phenomenal success stories. But they've one thing in common - lots of them have been doing it for 15, 20, 30, 40, 50 years. And some of them, they did it for the first 20 years and nobody knew who they were, like when people talk about Brad Pitt; he used to clean swimming pools, Denzel Washington was a garbage collector he used to pick up garbage like the kasasiro guys. He was doing that and that was his job while he was trying to pay his way to drama school. So you know, these guys you see them on your screen and you go " wow, there's a new actor here, he just came up!" Hey, he didn't just come up, they've been grafting and they've been turned down so many times. Somebody refused to sign Jay Z they said his music...

 WHAT IF THE PROBLEM IS NOT THE PROBLEM? Whenever you feel overwhelmed and stressed the last thing you want to put in your head is ask yourself " what's wrong" because the minute you say what's wrong, the world will assemble every that is wrong and they'll present it to you - Everything! So the minute you say "WHAT'S WRONG"  the world says " YOUR WISH IS MY COMMAND". It's like a genie they say " Ooh do you wanna know what's wrong" and you go " yes I want to know what's wrong" and they go " no problem the list is coming right up". So you get a list, and the list says; this is wrong, this wrong, this wrong... and then the neighbors start to hear that there's someone who's attracted to things that are wrong, so they be like " ooh I have some two let me taken them to this person". So all of sudden you start to say " I don't know why everything is falling apart around me" ...

  IS HARD WORK SPONTANEOUS? Hard work is not spontaneous, absolutely not! I believe that hard work is derived from a place of passion. And passion is insured by your desires of what you want, who do you want to become, what do you want to acquire and who do you want to go. Who you want to spent time with - but do you want to be referred to you as you're the great oritre, great singer. A great business person, a great mum, a great dad. So in that process of apsiring to attain a level of success that's clear, the objective is clear, you're driven to deliver a great performance. You work very very hard and more often enough it's really driven by three elements; so you can be forced to work hard, you can choose to work hard or you can evolve into somebody then becomes a hard working person. There are so many different things that can force somebody to work hard perhaps the encountered events of a person, the demands are from them and of course to choose to work hard is agai...

  ...and I always asked " mother how come everything is white " I said: " why is Jesus white with blonde hair and blue eyes? Why is the Lord's supper all white men?! Heaven is white, pope, Mary and even the Angels?! I said mother " when we die, do we go to heaven?!"  She said naturally " we go to heaven", I said well: " what happened to all the black angels when they took the pictures?" And I said oh I know, if the white folk was in heaven too, then the black angels were in the kitchen preparing the milk and honey. She said: " listen you quit saying that boy!" But I was always curious and I always wonder why I had to die to go to heaven?! Why I couldn't have pretty cars and good money and nice homes now?! Why do I have to wait till I die to get milk and honey?! And I said mama " I don't want no milk and honey I like steaks" and I said " milk and honey is a laxative anyway! Do they have alot of bathrooms i...

  THE PENDULUM OF POWER A time of change is upon us. Though many are confident in these changes, many others are now uncertain about the future. All is easy when the wind is still and the ground is peaceful. But when the gusts of change begin to push against their backs, humans begin to realize how fragile they truly are. In this Age of War, humanity stands on a perpetual precipice: staring down into the maw of oblivion, where any misstep might send them into extinction. How much turmoil can humanity withstand before it is pushed over the edge? Are these global rearrangements merely tremors beneath humanity’s feet, or are they the rumblings of the final quake?  The strength of a unity is found in compromise. Crownshave passed through thousands of kings and queens, each different from the previous. Like the pendulum of a clock, power swings from one side to the other in an endless passing of time. It creates a balance between two opposing forces – each side relying on the other...
