My last day in theater as a dental intern!
My last case; Fractured mandible of a 5 year old.
The next time I step in theater, will be as a Dental Surgeon❤️
Time flies🫠
Why do these medical interns think they are so special? Delays and inefficiencies in deploying trained professionals occur everywhere. Lawyers, engineers, and other professionals are all facing similar issues. This kind of indiscipline they have shown to the public is not
Its been a long week, I was illegally dismissed from the race and I ran to court. The hearing of the case was pushed to next week after elections. We had to think fast and introduce a new candidate, gave him all the support and he won the race in 3 days. Thank you Makereans!
Today a new page has been opened! I am grateful to the Almighty for the successes I have received and the many I’m yet to have🫠. Happy birthday to me❤️

Today, I was almost a victim of stoning in Nairobi. We had to plead with the people and almost said I was from Uganda, the Boda guy told me never to say that. They would think I am a Muhoozi person and we would be headed for another battle😂😂It was wild

This is a serious matter for students and graduates of Makerere University. Your courses are expired according to NCHE, I have a whole 9 pages of expired courses. We should come together to do sth about it. I’m lucky my ka dental surgery is not among those😇
Today I have decided to give a shout out to myself🤭
Whenever I do this, it means sth challenging is coming up, but I am ready to face it with all happiness and ❤️.
The universe only gives us challenges that our brains can find solutions to.
LORD, I AM READY!

This is a very sad story
@Makerere
, this same thing happened to a friend last year who had applied to the UK and rejected because the engineering course she did was expired. I thought these issues had been worked on. Imagine paying NCHE and then find this😭😭
MEDICAL INTERNS, are you ready to exhibit too tomorrow? Many of you have been privately reaching out to me to voice your plight. Join us to speak for yourselves as we colour Twitter for the next 2 weeks, starting tomorrow (Monday 24th)
#UgandaHealthExhibition
I really don’t understand the army and police under Museveni!
A person who is living out in the open on a daily, why abduct them in wee hours?
Can’t you just summon them and they come or hold a peaceful arrest🤦🏾
The bias against female doctors is deeply entrenched in society. Patient walks in, you explain their diagnosis and treatment plan, they refuse it that that they want a male doctor not you the ‘nurse’ even after seeing your coat clearly labeled doctor.👇🏿👇🏿
I for one support the ongoing strike at Makerere university. You can’t make students pay about 850k as functional fees yet these kids are studying from home. Do you know what functional fees are, university hospital, WiFi, library, sports fee etc.
Tell that kid applying for a medical course to chose Dental Surgery🔥
Your whole clan and family with thank me later✊🏽✊🏽
If you doubt, ask anyone who did it
I would like to thank the medical interns for voting me as their Secretary General.
I have the pen and paper ready to start the work.
Thank you for entrusting me🤗
ARUA👏🏾.
Most connected person in Uganda now is an intern doctor, I have people I know in all public hospitals across the country🤭🤭
Those in Arua, visit the best hospital in west Nile for both treatment and check up.
Here to serve Ugandans❤️
If we only believed in the change we can achieve if we worked together. We the youth are 78% of the population in Uganda today, it puzzles me why we are still marginalised. We just need to come together to cause a fundamental change and get the Uganda we need.

This a student at Mak who has lost his hand due to ongoing demonstrations. Police fired teargas canisters in the rooms of stds and as he came back at arms 6pm from medical school in Mulago, he found the canister on his bed. As he was shifting it, it blasted off his hand

Thank you friends in the fight against corruption for coming through for the accused.
The ones of today have been released, another group is set to come to court tomorrow. Those who can, come and be there with us.

@AAgather
and team, thank you 🙏
There’s nothing as painful as a patient refusing to be referred to Mulago😣
She said, ‘ Doctor, you are sending us there to die🥺’
I had to now first Counsel the patient and caretaker.
It’s sad that our National Referral Hospital can be viewed as a death sentence
We started with Magufulifying Makerere, we went to Operation Melting Magma, and we are now at Vaccinating the Junta.

Have you guys watched this NTV story of ‘omunyarwanda wa Bobi’ who was abducted by army men who sodomized him😭😭😭
Our security forces are heartless 🤧
May God grant him grace to overcome such a painful situation 🙏
I forgot my laundry basket with wet clothes yesterday morning outside my house. My male neighbor hanged all of them and removed them when they were dry. What a sweet gesture from him given males hate anything to do with clothes 🥰🥰
Behold the 87th Guild President of Makerere University.
The task ahead of us is big but we shall move a day at a time. Our target is to take ownership of this country as citizens.

: I have been hearing people attacking her (Anita Among) and other Members of Parliament.
These young MPs many of them are learners, they come from university, and because of democracy, they are elected.
Sometimes they might get excited and get loans
Sickle cell disease is very very serious.
Since MoH will not address this issue, as individuals we have a responsibility at hand. Do screening before thinking of having children please😕
Another doctor has succumbed to the disease just yesterday. May his soul rest in peace😔
Today we had a meeting with Our President at Magere. We discussed about the just concluded Makerere guild elections, lessons learnt and how to move forward after the election heat.
I'm glad to have been part of this meeting, I pray for more engagements of this kind.
Ours is a national campaign, the problems of Makerere are the problems of Uganda.
Join us us we support NAMBASSA Shamim to become the next guild president of Makerere University
There are long lines of patients in all public hospitals because of the absence of intern doctors. Some fail to get treatment after several visits due to HR gap and the government in silent.

Just thinking diff. about this letter.
I think NUP is trying to trick Parliament into going into the right procedure of removing a commissioner for Mpuuga.
Then bang, they will ask y the same wasn’t for
@ZaakeFrancis
It is a well calculated move that y’all can’t seem to see😇
Any other way deployed to remove a commissioner of Parliament is just a comedy-drama show.
With a large audience.
I will later dissect this purported “NEC”.
Thank you Gulu ( my Acholi people and St. Mary’s Lacor)
Thank you Arua ( all my West Nilers and Arua Regional Referral Hospital)
You have given me a good yr of experience, it’s now my time to serve the nation👏🏾❤️🫶🏾
Let me check if I got a man from the North, will you know 🤭
So when you are promoted at work, you start receiving retirement benefits for the previous position even when not retired?
But why are we allowing this parliament to play us like this? U receive taxpayer’s money for speakership as well as retirement for dep. speakership💆🏾🥱
Apart from the intimidation and bribing of MPs to withdraw signatures from the censure motion, documents are still being forged as regards the “service award” to the former LOP and Commissioners. This was never part of the Parliament budget, it was never presented to Parliament.
“We should relax on the speaker”
I sat home for 1 year and 3months as gov’t couldn’t deploy me for internship claiming they didn’t have money.
And the speaker spends 16 billion on SCR per year, interns needed only 22bn to deploy 2000 interns for a year.
Oti forgive her 🤧🙄
In a country with one of the worst doctor to patient ratio, why would a medical doctor first strike to be deployed or paid😰If the have no money to do their duty, let them give us our licenses without internship so that we start to work.

As a person who has done dentistry as a course for five years, I have decided to use my platform to give you basic knowledge on how to prevent different tooth diseases and also to save you that consultation fee of 60k to a dentist. Please follow my YouTube channel as I help you
If we use tax payers money to construct a house for the speaker, does that mean it becomes a public property when she retires?
If not, why are we constructing her house on our money given that we already pay her so much?
Update : We successfully concluded our meeting with the police today, attended by Mr. Mwesigwa,Head of Operations, Mr. Ruhweza, Public Relations Director, and Mr. Rusoke,Police Spokesperson. In summary,the police acknowledged receipt of our notification letter
#March2Parliament
This was me being dragged last yr by police for daring to ask 4 internship deployment. Through this I sustained a very huge wound on my leg.
Anyway I thought the fight for deployment would end last YR, but guess what, we are still in the same fight.
We need sth different 😓
We are starting a serious journey. A journey to liberate Uganda and create space for the youth in governance and leadership. I know its not a straight journey, but perseverance and persistence will lead us there.
It's just the beginning!
One of my favorite moments in University is coming to an end.
I’m one of the students who has participated in the most versify games competitions. This has been possible because I have done a five year course. Today marks the end of my participation in university

People gd in taxation help me understand VAT/taxes better.

All students need to be on campus and study physically.
Why is it only Makerere that has students studying online while other universities have all their students physically on campus!
