I’m rooting for Doechii so hard right now. She’s a severely underrated & VERY TALENTED black woman. We all need to get in line and give her the audience.
🥰🥰🥰🥰 being South African is a flex
Allegedly this couple was taking their wedding photos when this group saw them and started singing traditional Xhosa wedding songs in celebration.
I bet they will not forget this😊🎊
Congratulations to them
Reuben Nahabwe is a serial rapist and sexual abuser. He has assaulted residents(girls) in Olympia Hostel from 2017/18 to this day because the hostel continues to protect and reinstate him. The most recent story of assault I heard about was less than a month ago.
That video is so triggering because I’ve experienced that too. A man catcalled me in broad daylight, asked for my number and when I ignored him he hit me straight across my face. These stories aren’t just social media things, misogynistic violence is real, remember that💔
African men can argue about marriage and how being with one person forever isn’t realistic, that cheating is bound to happen. I won’t exactly oppose that but if that’s the case then open the marriage and let her also find love and companionship else where.
*crickets*
Every time I end up on the Luganda side of TikTok I’m always dying. Ugandans are so funny. I watch this video every two weeks just to summon laughter😭💀
If you’re a Ugandan on Twitter, can we please clear our timelines. The only thing we’re amplifying, retweeting and tweeting about today is

May we not pass these stories by. This is in Uganda. Right here💔
Femicide is an actual crisis on this continent. Femicide in Africa is a serious issue.
No, I won’t accept to be told to shut up on Twitter. I worked closely with the family of one of his victims this year and I saw how demoralizing, intrusive and re-traumatizing the process of getting justice is. Before you send women to the Police, I’ll have you know that they—
I am counting on the day that Olympia Hostel and the rapist that they harbour as a custodian pay for their crimes. For their negligence, for their carelessness and support of anyone else but the girls in the hostel and their safety.
Yesterday I was talking to my bf and he told me something. He has a client that’s venturing into the funeral services business in K’la. He told me that one of the concerns was men who pay the employees to tell them when fresh dead bodies of women come in.

accepted a bribe, changed her statement and made it seem like the two were in a relationship. This is a middle aged man a 19/20 year old girl. The places you send women to get help have protected him since 2018 because many victims have tried to file cases and report to no avail.
I’m immensely proud of our Kenyan siblings/feminists, Kenyan women. My deepest condolences for every loss; each woman whose life has been taken is more than a mere statistic. We wholeheartedly support and admire all your efforts🇰🇪❤️

I stand on the hill that says we must make misogyny and patriarchy uninhabitable. We have to suffocate this behaviour and let these men know it won’t slide. No one here is joking with you. You will not make everyone else uncomfortable on a whim because you think you can.
Olympia Hostel is the most unserious. This was 2019 but he is back to business as usual. The management is a key component in all of his crimes and they should be implicated for every single case.
Reuben Nahabwe, a caretaker at Olympia Hostel located in Kikoni, a Kampala suburb has been suspended for sexual harassment.
The management of the posh hostel succumbed to pressure from female students who accuse Nahabwe of harassing them with sex demands.
Our suspicion is that this man has powerful people protecting him and I hate how when this issue comes up, people make it seem like we and the victims have not tried enough or haven’t explored all our options. Your simplistic advice is frankly annoying.
Everyone saying that it was unserious of them to add Christina here hasn’t taken the time to listen to how powerful a vocalist she is. They’re just judging based on popularity. She is absolutely in the league of all these other women, vocally.
Bottom line is; He is still a custodian at that hostel with access to the master key and access to all the female residents. A known serial rapist and abuser who has been emboldened because he has gotten away with it each time.

All our multiple efforts have been frustrated since and some of the victims end up letting go because of how often they are invalidated by the system and the hostel itself. Keep in mind that they are struggling with the trauma and the process opens and worsens these wounds.
Dare a woman move the way you people move all hell breaks loose, she is the slut of the community, the Jezebel, she risks being thrown out of the house and has shamed the family utterly and completely. We shall then hear endless speeches about how there are no ‘good’ women left.
I know it is not easy for one reason or the other but I advise any current or prospective female residents of Olympia Hostel to avoid it and find other accomodations if you can and are willing until they take this issue seriously and have Reuben indefinitely fired.
Y’all people are out here meeting and marrying the loves of their lives while some of us are here spending the whole day in our pjamas + bonnets, eating crisps, watching TikToks and sitcoms so that we can live vicariously through fictional characters and online strangers in love.
Reason 3826837383 why I am proudly against the institution of marriage. It’s harm is never between two people. The TL right now is proof of how this society programmed to uphold it’s non-existent sanctity at the cost of people being harmed under it.
Y’all I met Sylvia Tamale for the first time today and I sat down, talked to her as she tied my head wrap. I was so giddy + excited the whole time trying not to act like a rabid fan. Ahhhhhhhh, she’s so lovely❤️
Thinking about Mirembe Desire during these 16 Days of Activism and all the other victims of femicide in Uganda over the past 10-15 years.
May her beautiful soul continue to rest in peace🕊️❤️
Wishing dark skinned African and black women a wonderful day🫶🏾❤️
The colourism you experience or have experienced in the past isn’t simply in your head. I wish you a life of thriving and self love in spite of it.
I don’t understand this “my rapist” thing. My what? Whose? Mine? He’s not my anything. Language is so important. Why must she carry his identity like her own? Like something that became hers.
“the man who raped....” as opposed to “her rapist”
Please and thank you.
The porn industry has managed to normalize and broadcast various ‘genres’ of sexual violence against women, often without accountability. As a result, when entire generations of men and teenage boys consume this content as their introduction to sex, we fail to recognize the—
Pornhub is deleting videos with 'sleep/sleeping' in the title and now sends a warning message about how the content is illegal/nonconsensual when people search for sleeping videos
Thank you to Gisele Pelicot and every woman who's fought to make this world a safer place for women
The TL is SO HEAVY today. There’s real knots in my chest. This is so unfair. When shall we begin to take femicide in Africa seriously? I need answers. WHEN?
If you don’t like someone’s content, use all the tools on these apps at your disposal to disengage and make sure you don’t consume any of it instead of complaining endlessly and acting like your eyes are being held hostage every time.
Today I just want to be hugged and told that everything is going to be okay. Feeling super sensitive because right now, being alive feels exhausting. I hope this new month shows me that things can and will look up.
We have the footage of what happened today. Keep the hashtag going, we’re not going to let them silence all of us.
Thank you to everyone that contributed towards helping the arrested protestors🙏🏾

About to “my man, my man, my man” y’all to death because I now understand these people. The drunkenness of being utterly into someone that makes you want to shout it on the roof tops. This man is literally my joy and happiness personified.
Please discredit a lot of the information coming from these state/government accounts.
The protesters have been nothing but peaceful. These images are old and totally unrelated to the peaceful protests happening. Ugandans showed up with only placards.

Dear Ugandans, let us protect our infrastructure!
According to the Roads Act, 2019: It is an offense to cause damage to public roads, bridges and ferries.
The law provides for penalties of up to 120 currency points or 5 years in prison for destroying road furniture, littering,
Megan won a Grammy but Nicki Minaj never did her whole career. Sigh.
Anyways, I’m not a hater but Megan’s music isn’t that impressive to me. She is fun but her music is overrated IMO.
My boyfriend is such a kind, handsome and graceful man. I’m so grateful for him and I adore him. A real 10/10 human being. Whenever anyone says his name I can’t control my face, my cheeks are on fire. I love listening to him talk about literally anything. He’s so dreamy fr💀❤️
Please, end this type of menstrual products advertising indefinitely. Why are they jumping and kicking legs like that? This is not what any of us look like while on our period😭
I want to see ads with women looking like this;
Many of these African men on Twitter are shook because they see themselves in that man. They’re just lucky our culture beats the fear and submissiveness into everyone, including children. Some of you deserve to be shamed the same way.
I don’t understand Kampala/Ugandan men. We’re witnessing the premium baddification of Ugandan huns and you’re complaining? Bro, y’all are not worthy. You don’t deserve nice things.
I went to Namgunga and Nabisunsa. Unfortunately for you all, I am familiar with the big headedness that traditional single Ugandan schools often instill. I will use mine to ask
@smackists
why their products are harassing women in groups. I have the time.

The hostel and their lawyer of course continue to lie by saying that his victims are ill intentioned and planted by competitors to tarnish their name. The lamest excuse in the book. Also; victims in 2019 when summoned absolutely did come out to accuse him.
@ninamonei
The most pertinent issue is if they care enough to somehow summon the conviction to live & think consciously. Most people don’t.
“OMG that’s so sad...” then they’re back to further reveling in individualism.
I’m thoroughly convinced that some kinds of grief/loss/heartbreak stay with you forever. Getting a break from it only depends on how distracted you are or how frequently you’re triggered.
I wish you people knew how much betrayal is caused to women who tell you about the man/friend/family that raped them and yet you continue to break bread with them & entertain them.
Y’all stay safe out there pls. The circus is working overtime. I’m so sorry that some of your pure hearts have to experience this shit. I hope it inspires you to be a witch today and forever more❤️
It’s distasteful to shame people who you think are “too broke” for your liking, financially struggling or even poor. I want you to reflect on why poor people disgust you so much knowing that poverty and most of the economic conditions/circumstances are manufactured.

Mulungi Faith is battling with Endometriosis and Adenomyosis stage 4 that recently has spread to the extent that she needs a second corrective surgery soon.
She needs your help to meet the costs of the procedure. Please donate✨
I haven’t had a single drink or a single blunt in 3 months and sometimes I think about it. It’s tempting but I’m trying to go a whole year without any of it. Wish me luck lol.
Sometimes I don’t think that I have the energy to talk about these things anymore but my heart always breaks even when I have no words.
All of us, every single woman I know has been assaulted or harassed, one way or another in their lifetime. Why do we have to live like this?
Ati the Luganda side of TikTok is too “local” for some of you. Wabula bana mwe mujooga! Some of us won’t tolerate your faux elitism. Ugandans are majorly happy people who just want to have fun & laugh then there comes a rando with their nose in the air thinking they’re too “bad”.
And we shall meet in droves on top of the seven hills of Kampala to burn all the bras left at the respective bonfires like true witches. Anyways, back to the most relevant issue here; she looks stunning❤️
Y’all I met Sylvia Tamale for the first time today and I sat down, talked to her as she tied my head wrap. I was so giddy + excited the whole time trying not to act like a rabid fan. Ahhhhhhhh, she’s so lovely❤️
Elsa Majimbo should proceed with caution. I have a strong sense that if she continues on her current path, things may not end well for her. She already upset many Kenyans during the protests. Sometimes, the wisest and safest choice is to remain silent. Put the phone down.
