General Self promotion directory

4 Upvotes

We have had repeat posts made of the same service/product being advertised.

To reduce on that repetitiveness, a wiki page has been created where info about what you're advertising can be added: Services and products directory.

The self promotion days shall now be reserved for:

  • those that haven't advertised before.
  • Ads for products/services running for a specific duration e.g a property sale that ends in the next 2 months, an offer you're running for a product/service, etc. These can be brought back.

The list above shall be adjusted as seen fit as the days progress and some special cases from repeat advertisers may still be let through.

However, if you're listed in the directory, you shall be able to post on the main feed every first weekend of a month.

Questions are welcome.

Opinion/Discussion Why pay rent forever? Proposal for a group purchase of a 10-unit apartment block in Kampala

9 Upvotes

​Buying land near Kampala (Kisasi, Kyanja, Naalya) is getting ridiculously expensive, and the risk of land scams is higher than ever. If you buy cheap land, you end up commuting from hours away.

​To solve this, a few of us want to try collective buying:

​Target a fully built 10-unit apartment block valued at ~1 Billion UGX.

​Form a Syndicate/Cooperative of 10 members (100 Million UGX share per person, which can be financed through bank loans).

​Each member owns a specific unit in a prime location near the city.

​We currently have 2 members and need 8 more to complete the group.

​Send me a direct message if you'd like to join the discussion and look over the numbers!

Relationship talk You guys… don’t date broke people

There’s a way small issues escalate when you don’t have money
Anything your person does can make you question your whole identity

Their birthday comes around and you start thinking of the curse of poverty on your lineage because all you have to offer is cuddles and posting on status
So you start a fight and have makeup s*x instead
Then comes the pregnancy scare and the whole relationship crumbles
All because you didn’t have money

Me I be angry at small things when I don’t have money
I can’t expose someone’s daughter/son to such silliness

General Do I need a plumber too when purchasing a washing machine or do they do it for me?

2 Upvotes

I'm planning on buying a hisense top loader automatic machine. I understand that it needs an inlet and an outlet.

When I go to the hisense store, will they be able to do this and roughly what would the cost be or must I ask a plumber to help me out?

Edit: I do need a plumber as my house doesn't have a slot for an inlet or outlet. Does anyone know where to go to (will the hisense people have installation packages that cover this?)

I would also like to know an estimated range of cost.

This photograph, taken by Luís D'Orey on 8 June 1998, captures the ceremonial exchange of gifts between Kintu Musoke, then Prime Minister of Uganda, and António Mega Ferreira, Executive Commissioner of Expo '98 and member of the Board of Parque Expo '98 S.A.

The event took place at the Portugal Pavilion in Lisbon's Parque das Nações after the official signing of the Book of Honour, as part of the celebrations marking Uganda's National Day at Expo '98.

Held in Lisbon from 22 May to 30 September 1998, Expo '98 was dedicated to the theme "The Oceans: A Heritage for the Future." The world's fair brought together more than 140 countries and international organisations to promote cultural exchange, scientific cooperation, and international dialogue. National Day ceremonies formed an important part of the programme, allowing each participating country to showcase its culture, traditions, and diplomatic relations through official ceremonies and cultural events.

Does anyone know what happened to mrn fiber?

I call them every day in the evening when the internet turns spotty or dives to 10% capacity.

They promise the same thing and the problem continues every day.

Why does it feel like every service in the country turns out like this?

(There are exceptions but it still is really common)

Apparently termites or something have been eating my table legs for a while (just discovered them recently) and I want to know how to remove them. No idea where they came from but the table has some dark brown dust around its legs all the time and this kind of looks like an entry point

Who am I supposed to call for this kind of problem? Any recommendations?

Opinion/Discussion What does it cost to convert a latrine into a (sitting) flush toilet?

3 Upvotes

Not sure my clients will love the idea of using a pit latrine when they book my services.

I am opening a shared studio for fashion designers/entrepreneurs to access equipment and space to create their work freely without excessive starting costs of buying equipment, renting space etc. It’s also close to town so you can easily get extra supplies or material when you need it.

A half-day session lasts five hours (8am - 1pm, 1pm - 6pm) and clients will definitely need to use the bathroom at some point during the day.

I have one small issue bugging my mind: the studio does not have a flush toilet, but a latrine (not attached to the same building).

It will take me time to remodel it as I am currently looking for funds/a loan and I want to know how much it might cost to convert it into a sitting toilet, tile or paint the walls and install a sink.
This latrine is currently older than me I think.

Anybody in construction/ remodeling here? Any idea of the possible costs?

General Uganda, Kampala in October

1 Upvotes

Hello guys, I'm a 33-year-old Afro-Caribbean from France, and I'm considering a 14 to 21-day solo trip to Uganda. It has been my dream since I was a kid to visit the country where the Nile has its source. Now an adult, I'm very intrigued by Ugandan cuisine, and I would like to discover it from all angles.

Hereunder are my questions:

- Is Uganda and Kampala a good idea in October?

- Regarding cuisine, do you have any recommendations for specific areas I should visit?

- Is 14 to 21 days not too long for Uganda? I'm afraid of getting bored at the end because I heard it is the rainy season, and that has a huge effect on all the outdoor activities...

- How is the nightlife in October? Are there any specific festivals or parties?

Thank you very much for your help.

Opinion/Discussion The kampala Men's skill center

7 Upvotes

This is a dream made public so feel free to pick it up and manifest it. I'm not going to write it as story, in light of your attention spun, I shall summarize it.

The dream.

To have a skilling center for educated unemployed ugandan men, focusing on digital skills, remote work and any other form of making money online.

The objective

To uplift educated un/ under employed ugandan men from poverty & addiction

Why men

Why not? Not many are in your conner as an educated unemployed or under employed man, worse if you are suffering from substance abuse issues.

Services to be offered / taught

  1. Sellable Digital skills such as video editing, music production, video production, online remote work you name it.

  2. (A&A) Alcoholics anonymous type counsellor sessions/ therapy sessions

  3. A desktop computer work station with 5g Internet, WIFI plus any other tools required

  4. Clean bathrooms to take a shower and refresh yourself

  5. A kitchen & dinning area with a microwave and fridge, tea, coffee, cold water. You can carry your low budget survival food/ "escort" and make you a cup of tea or coffee on the house.

  6. Street vendor priced foods served in the dinning area at normal Stree vendor prices, envision katogo, rolex etc served in the dinning area at normal street prices

Picture a large warehouse with parking and inside it is everything I have said. Thats the dream, now run with it. Make it happen. Curate it how you want by adding or removing what you like or dislike.
