I did not do a “rant” last week only because I had done a blog post about the East African Community the expected next-world Superpower. It was a rant of sorts too since the EAC is an insult and the blog post was enough food for those who honestly pass by to read. I am back to rant more because that’s all I can do about the happenings in the world.

This week was lengthy world over after the ICC put out an arrest warrant for the President of Russia at a time when everyone was pondering over the mark of two decades since the USA and Britain invaded Iraq for the wrong reasons and their leaders then have never been brought to any court it was nonsensical. The other expected arrest was that of former US president Mr. Trump for a case that involves a lady who offers sex services of all things he seems to have done in the past.

Here in Uganda, everyone is still wondering if corruption has its true origins in the source of the Nile, the amount of money being misused is unimaginable and no one will ever be held accountable for certainty. But also there was a hopeful side when one of the most esteemed Citizens released her book which I am going to review in this blog very soon. Biographies for a country that needs a reset will be important as they will act as lamps for the next generation and in some measures, this one too will pitch in.

The week started with South Africa, Kenya, and Senegal witnessing a level of civil waywardness on grounds of governance mainly, which is just the tip of the iceberg of Africa’s coming time. In Uganda, citizens have not really held the government accountable for its failure to control the downward spiral of the economy which is almost defunct as they have been sidelined by coupling with new legislation on the matter.

If you have been here you must have caught a glimpse of my take on sports once in a while and I identify as a sports activist in my life. For women’s history month, the Track and field’s world governing body says it will exclude transgender women “who have been through male puberty” whatever that means from female events, and I am thinking Feminism in sports has to come out and draw the logical line on transgender women having a physical advantage over cisgender women in all sports regarding the equality question.

As the war in Europe rages I am starting to fear it may get out of hand before it’s over first with Britain sending in Nuclear weapons, the Iraqi war gave us the Fallujah births that are characterized by babies with multiple limbs because of these weapons. As the US sends all these weapons to Ukraine at some stage they will have to send in their citizens to service and repair the machinery and it will take one strike from Russia then public opinion across the Atlantic will be demanding for blood and it will be a full-scale war.

Where are you keeping your money or where are you investing it, it’s as though more banks are more likely to fall because the trouble started when the USA hiked rates led to the fall in price for bonds taking inflation to other levels that now affect other Central banks in the world. This week the US further hiked rates and even if Elon has complained because he has seen the valuation of his companies lessened, anywho the hikes are not healthy. The domino effect can’t be stopped, it can only be slowed by printing money but it’s not sustainable. The sad thing in Africa the effect will be felt in the near future.

The SVB disgrace is an indicator that the digital ecosystem and the hype of all tech businesses are coming to a limit or end and a reinvention is required. Venture capital has to look elsewhere and stop the drama otherwise the financial system is going to die off. The Venture Capital concept is going down as the biggest defect of capitalism.

Millennials don’t like the ground floor when they are looking for a Muzigo (apartment) but in some areas, the water pressure drops, and only those down have water even with the overhead water tanks, very few landlords have installed pumps to solve the issue. Still on property and land, whenever the Ganda talk about the land tenure system in Central Uganda we are referred to as benefactors of PostColonial events. It’s a fact squatters don’t have right over land they possess without permission and we have seen the government that has protected and pushed the wrong narrative break and destroy their property off the Mandela National Stadium land.

I would wish to Join Uncle Beaton on that job to murder AI if it went rogue but I have a feeling the AI hype is going to pass and it’s destined to have the same fate as Bitcoin and all Apolitical money. Human beings should realize the computing capacity has been exhausted at the moment. They are not going to be many breakthroughs for a while.

Thank you for reading.
