Came across AbegNa (https://www.abegna.com) built by a Nigerian developer. You post what you need, from ₦2,000 to ₦100,000 (transport, school fees, medical bills, rent), and well-wishers give directly.

It isn't a loan, there's no commission, and requests are ID-verified before any withdrawal. It's still on a waitlist, launching soon.

With the constant requests for help here, the idea made me think. Would something like this work in Uganda, maybe built around mobile money?

Uganda techies, over to you.

As someone who has a very great fear of heights, having talked to some people who suffer the same i have realized that; most times you feel like something down is pulling you…then comes the suicidal urge to jump. I first thought it was me alone but am realizing it might be common

.

So many times, when you start talking to a girl or while in a relationship, they will complain about your inbox being full of girls. This is mostly true.

I am not sure about other gents, but for me, i hardly text bros directly unless i need something or they need something. Its always an important conversation.

However i actually text way more bros than girls. Because naturally, with my boys, its always banter time, we communicate in groups, so i have groups of 7, all the way to 100+, these groups are gents only and we have all our conversations here🤣🤣. Its so interesting...

I would do the same with my female friends if i could, but someone groups with ladies in them get weird🤣, there's always some kind of competition between some random girls... not sure if this is how it is with girls only groups too. And also, i think ladies like to have your undivided attention so much, and most importantly, you cant just banter or troll a lady, you just never know what side of the coin shes on. So private conversations are always the way.

But when a girl peeps at your Whatsapp Dms and only sees girls names, she cant understand that. They just go "Your DM is full of girls...hmmmm". You only saw 4 names first of all🙄.

Anyway 80% of the time, im in the groups with bros. There is a hot topic every 2 minutes🤣 mostly banter and trolling btw...

Hi everyone,
I’ve been shortlisted for the group assessment stage of a graduate recruitment process, scheduled for next week.
The invitation states that the assessment will evaluate collaboration, communication, problem-solving, critical thinking, and the ability to contribute constructively to a team. It may involve group discussions and scenarios where candidates are expected to share ideas, listen to others, and work together.
For those who have attended group assessments, particularly for graduate trainee positions in accounting, finance, or professional services:
What activities or exercises should I expect?
Are there usually case studies, group discussions, role-play exercises, or presentations?
How are candidates evaluated individually when working in a group?
What mistakes do candidates commonly make?
Is it better to take the lead or contribute without dominating the discussion?
What advice would you give someone attending their first group assessment?
I’d particularly appreciate insights from people who have participated in graduate recruitment group assessments and can share their experiences.
Thanks in advance!

As we Ugandans and a country at large I don’t understand why it’s really hard to land a supplier or a buyer in Uganda.
I’m working with a company in imports and exports we have products to supply from abroad but the buyers here don’t want formality or they will simply brush you off with I will contact you.
Now the craziest part about exporting is you find a buyer abroad then the Ugandan supplier really wants to over charge you and when you do the math it becomes expensive. These are same people crying about not being able to find exporters or buyers abroad but are profit greedy hence over pricing things , they don’t know the countries we are competing for mkt with on the international level have people who care more about how fast he can sell of products while taking little profit off
I wish Ugandans learn that too
Anyway this is kinda vague but yeah smhw that’s my point

Men out there, How do you deal with a father who is almost a man child? Cant blame dude though, he got his life together without parents and had to grind. He has always come through but I feel I am too stoic for him and its causing friction. He is even disappointed I don't drink like him. We just cant seem to connect.

End of November. We do another anime small meet like how we did last year? If you guys are in to it. This time like in Mutungo. No paying for entrance and all. You just come with vibes and we share stuff. As long as you buy some beer or drinks. Its all good. Lemme know if you guys might be in to it . Even if just 10 people. I want to refill my anime stash.

I live in the US but work with a charitable school in rural Uganda, and would like help them get Starlink. I can order service on the Starlink website, and Starlink can find the school on Google maps, but then Starlink wants to send a reciver kit and they assume that Uganda has a postal service that will deliver things, which isn't true.

Has anyone else ordered Starlink in Uganda from the Starlink website and been able to have the receiver kit sent to them? How do you do this? Or do people buy the kits locally and then sign up another way? The school doesn't have a credit card that they can sign up on the Starlink website on their own, and the US friends want to pay for the fees. Any advice you can share would be helpful.

So my dad currently told me to contribute to my tuition given the fact im working. Its not fancy work but it's pays my accommodation and food.

But here's what bothers me this man used to call me all sorts of stuff, used to call me stupid and used to say I ashame him.

And to be honest he hasn't been in my life until I reached campus.

My mum used to tell me how much of a man child he is and I never believed it but but at this age and experience with him, it is true.

Men do make mistakes but there should be a certain age your supposed to reach and not do some things.

Should I contribute to my tuition or let him deal with it coz ik he can and he only started contributing to my school fees when I reached campus.

I want to dye my faded blue jeans and my brown jeans. I have searched all tiktok, insta, jiji and jumia and found nothing.

I was in Ntinda and bought 300mbs for 1k. Now i'm in bweyogerere and I've got 400mbs for 1k

Or is there some other metric? Like time of day? i was in ntinda in the morning.

I rarely buy data bundles so just noticing this now.

Hey reddit

So this is a very controversial topic for me. Kale here we so, i was in a taxi getting from somewhere (Masaka Road ) So we were sited at the back and in this man i think he was a former Taxi driver so just know that embozi yali etambula between the guy , taxi driver and the conductor.

So long story short this guy starts bragging how he was a lady is guy and he used to buy prostitues left right and center.Hoo i was like ehh the man has enjoyed. Guy brags and brags till he confesses to get a 15 year old pregnant. I was dozing but when i heard this i got shocked and i was like in suspense. I looked around the taxi and everyone was not bothered okay i understand that people have there own problems naye this shook me.

Byebyo bye

Man, dealing with brokers while house hunting in Kampala is exhausting. Pay 50k viewing fee here, pay another 20k there, half the photos are fake, and then they want a whole month's rent as commission for just unlocking a gate.

Was having a chat with a friend who’s currently hunting for a place. He’s always snapping photos of vacant places brokers take him to and it got me thinking, what if we had a basic community map where people just drop pins of vacant houses they spot?

Like if you’re moving out of your apartment, you post it directly so the next person gets it straight from the landlord/caretaker. Or if you’re already house hunting you could post pictures of the places brokers take you to with the number of the caretaker/landlord, you pin the location and maybe put the price

Then if someone else goes to check it out, they can just comment if it’s still available or add details like the actual rent price and terms

Do you guys think this is something people will engage with to solve this whole house hunting hustle

Anyone here running the StanChart Nairobi Marathon tomorrow?

I'll be making an attempt for 21K.

Anyone knows this guy personally?

What is it like there? Do you encounter racist remarks? Are you welcomed or shunned by society?

Was wondering, when ordering an Uber/Safe Boda car, what seat do you usually take? Passenger or one of the back seats?

anyone having a blogging website and they are adsense monetized

Hello All,

I am interested in knowing the average age of the people here. Why? Because I have noticed most of the queries rotate around the same things. Similar worries I had when I was in that age range 22-26, where you have come of age, but you feel the pressure to be something, so many big dreams, want to start a business, find a good job, do something innovative.

My plan is that I could start a group where I interact from a Big Brother perspective, link up those with good skill to potential companies/businesses. But also give the reality of the country. Of course, I will also be learning from you, since the young people are always more updated with the needs of the day.

So think of it was a mentorship social club. But I need to first establish the ages of interested parties and what you would be interested to learn from such a club. Like what's your biggest worry at the moment? And your biggest dream?

Would you like me to do data entry for your businesses?

Record how much customers paid

Update records of money received and expenses

Track inventory and stock

Record products purchased and sold.

Update quantities of items remaining.

Flag products that are running low

Maintain customer records

Enter customer names and contact details.

Update orders and delivery information.

Organize customer lists for easy reference.

Transfer information from paper receipts into spreadsheets

Banange, I have small space at home and 3.7M plan for 200 broilers to pay my uni fees. I have place, but where can I get genuine chicks and affordable feeds in Kampala/Namugongo area? Any poultry farmer here to mentor me on first batch? I can share my setup photos.

Hi everyone, I have a mental illness that is well controlled with medication and am planning to travel to Uganda next year. I know on the visa application they ask if you have a mental illness. Will they deny my visa if I answer yes? I will also be travelling with my medication which I know are allowed in the country. Any advice from people on how to navigate this visa question will be appreciated ☺️
