Update:
Hey Dad, it’s been a minute. The country you sacrificed your life for is celebrating 26 years of Liberation. In those 26 years, your wife, a woman of steel, valor & brilliance still talks about you. She misses you! 1/2
The bachelor brigade has lost one of their own.
Congratulations to my brother

. I'll drink to this. Now that you're caged...sorry....engaged, I have to add you to my list of contributions...🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 But as the best man, I hope I'll get a discount.
I love you, bruv!

@idringp
I watched that video many times, read your responses to anyone who dared to call you out, tried to think from all angles to see if, maybe they were overacting but I couldn’t come up with any. I am not here to argue but to tell you why we are offended.

"A depressed generation hiding behind jokes, alcohol, weed and memes, but deep inside broken, hopeless with most feeling dead and empty. Inward cries but outward smiles. Check on your friends ..."
**Picked from somewhere but makes a lot of sense.
We miss you, Dad. You left with many others to give us a place to call home. You never came back, but we don't take your deeds and scarifice for granted. I can never be thankful enough for the sacrifice you made. Umurage mwadusigiye ni urumuri rutazima.

First, he insulted journalists, later, he publicly made a derogatory statement objectifying women & now he assaulted a female security guard just because she is doing her job. Is it just me or there’s a pattern of anger issues, arrogance and abuse?
Finally, I won’t ask you to apologize but to have empathy, understanding and respect for people. I pray that one day you will look back and realize the wrong you did but most importantly, I pray you never make such a mistake again. Dear

We are offended that you think we mention Genocide within the first 5 mins we introduce ourselves. No, there’s a lot we have accomplished as people and as a country but you lowered the bar to insult, ridicule and disrespect us. That was below the belt.
We are offended because trivializing and normalizing Genocide Denial. Some of your fans said we have “Genocide Museums." They are not museums but Memorial Sites. They tell stories that changed an entire nation, they keep us in check, teach us and help us fight against Genocide.
We are offended because you trivialized an era that changed our lives forever. We are still recovering, just last week, more victims were uncovered in a basement of house. We are still traumatized, wounds are still fresh and still burying our own…25 years later.
We are offended because you care more about what puts food on your table than having empathy. You didn’t care to listen, to learn and to understand where we are coming from. No, all you did was cry foul, defend & hurl insults that don’t fit a person of your caliber.
We are offended because Genocide & Comedy have never ever been mixed before, you set a precedent. Some of your fans commented saying that you just said the word, they forgot to mention it was in line with a joke about Rwanda. It makes it our business because

Ok, Naomie, you got my vote! Mental illness is one of our biggest social problems‼️
Rates of suicidal behaviours, depression and drugs have increased steadily among young people.

We are offended you think we are sensitive. You have been to Rwanda, held successful shows and now that we call you out for your mistake, we are sensitive. The irony is you keep talking about “positive energy” yet you give out “negative energy.” This shouldn’t be it.
Two people who have defined my life also share the same birthday. My son and my mum have shaped my ways, life and blessed me beyond anything else. Thank you mum for teaching me the value of life. Thank you Dylan for giving meaning to it all. Happy Birthday!
We are offended because the mere mention of the word Genocide takes us 25 years back. It reminds us of scars we carry and the lives of survivors who still struggle to understand what life is after all they've been through. It is not a laughing matter, this is humanity at stake.
I just tried to convert $44Bn to Rwf........long story short, depression just hit through the roof.
Let me drink my chai mukalu in peace and leave issues of billionaires to billionaires. Ehh!!!
- Those you love will always hurt you the most
- You might be surrounded by people and still feel empty inside
- Self love first, and do not seek approval from anyone
- Gira neza wigendere
- Some 'friends' are just excess baggage, cut them off
- Take care of your mental health
Here's to Mama's finest, Dylan and Levi's favourite Uncle, Kigali's retired sunsets photographer and the one person always keeping it real with the bow-tie and....well, the chubby cheeks.
To your +1....Happy Birthday,

Imagine looking all smart, carrying flowers and hot coffee for your supposed bae only to be informed she got married over the weekend.
Anyway, check if "honey bae" is still yours or if you're currently dating yourself.
The way we are so fixated about curfew hours says a lot about how we think about this pandemic;
No one is asking how medical facilities have been improved, the way forward or how we are restructuring our public health institutions to respond to such situations.

At Bank of Kigali we support a basketball game that follows international rules and regulations. Together with
@ferwabaRW
we do not condone any private matter interfering with the regulations. We want the basketball community to enjoy the game but within the set regulations.
Someone rightly said, "God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made Mothers."
Thank you for teaching me to work hard, respect others and never to quit. Thank you for being my number 1 cheerer, my mentor and my source of inspiration. Thank you, Mum.

Lessons from the weekend & beyond; 1/2
I had lessons to share but the most important happened yesterday when I survived a motor accident with bruises. It could have been worse but God did the most. I pray the child who was hit makes it. GRATITUDE IS A MUST. Thank you, Jesus.
Breaking News in:
REG has just announced a total blackout for the whole of Rwanda for 2 days, Commencing on the 29th, and 30th of this month. A full scale maintenance of all its generators will be done on those days. Sorry for any inconvenience
caused.
REG.
So, we can not post people we like just because you don't agree with it? Whether it is my other half, son, parent or even President, it is my damn wall. Feel free to block or mute but respect people's choices. Mumeze nkababandi basaba ko umuntu aba followinga.
Most of us call out our leaders and government and think we have an open society but can’t criticize our places of work for fear of getting fired yet they have a far greater impact on our lives. Some of these workplaces are run like dictatorships.
As a leader, if the institution you lead can’t function in your absence, you have failed. Focus on creating structures because those institutions are supposed to outlive you. Build a legacy that will shine long after you're not around.
I remember how you made me look like a clown with my stale jokes but it's ok, I'll have my revenge. 😂😂😂 Happy Birthday, fam. May you keep balding as I keep getting grey haired. Can't be getting old alone. Dylan and I have a treat for you at "church." Much love, bro

A friend said to me yesterday, “If you ask for my time, I will give it to you but please make it count & If we agree on a specific time to meet and you come late, I might stay but I will bill you depending on the value I give my time.” I am never wasting people’s time again.

Yesterday
@ferwabaRW
made a record...
@kigaliarena
was full to capacity but let's improve; service delivery & having basics such as soap in washrooms is zero, ticket handling is still analog and security should be beefed up to handle such a big crowd. Let's improve.
By the way, it is totally ok to sit out discussions you don't fully understand. It is embarrassing to make noise and when asked, you can't even explain what is wrong. First read, inquire and research if need be but don't expose your ignorance just because you want to "fit in."
25 years ago;
Voices were silenced.
The beautiful music went off, screams and cries became the new rhythm.
Horror began, in 100 days, more than a million lives were taken, a nation was brought to its knees and all hope was lost.

Not all online bandwagon jokes fit within our context and it is fine. Always understand the joke in it's context before jumping on it. People are now posting insensitive, ridiculous content that victimise Genocide survivors as jokes. Do Better! Ibi Birababaje!

Actually, clubbing was like this...all we cared about was dancing, not getting posted on social media. People rested to catch a breathe and cool off cause they'd be drenched in sweat. Oohh.....and the DJ didn't play 5 secs of a song.

Tutazapfa ubusa witiranya ibintu. Can you remove my son from this nonsense please? You can come for my girlfriend or me, although I didn't do nothing, but not my son. Thank you.
Some days are hard. Days where I feel like giving up despite all the work and energy invested. Just wondering if this could be it? For the sake of my sanity, I need to decide and I pray it is worth it.

And we ask who bitwitched Africans? This kind of thinking is the reason we can't think beyond our lenses. Why is there a need to always compare everything as if there's a reward for these kind of things? I guess next you'll compare the quality of TV images showed.
One day we shall talk about how some NGOs that promote health and access to health care have employees who are on the verge of a mental breakdown because of the toxicity in the workplace.
