UCU University Staff. PHOTO/COURTESY The 21 former students of Uganda Christian University (UCU) whose nursing degrees were dismissed as fake by the nurses and midwives regulatory body yesterday sued the university at the High court. They are seeking Shs 900m in damages. Last year, The Observer reported that the Uganda Nurses and Midwives Council (UNMC), the statutory regulator of nursing and midwifery, had refused to register students from four universities including UCU, because they had not met the minimum qualifications for admission. An independent investigation by Journalists found that the students were admitted for bachelor of nursing degrees at the four institutions yet they had not passed the key principal subjects of Chemistry and Biology at A-level. In their suit filed on July 26, 2017 at Mukono, the 21 who are led by Ivan Walukhu and Frida Chebet, accuse the university of unapologetically siphoning tuition and other fees from them over the course of eig...

Stella Nyanzi appears in court. PHOTO/COURTESY When she first aroused the government’s ire with her Facebook taunts, Stella Nyanzi says she was merely tickling the leopard. It’s a typically vivid image from the exuberant Ugandan scholar and feminist, who speaks in a rich stew of metaphor, profanity, rude insults and bawdy humour – in several languages. It has made her a star on Facebook, where thousands of Ugandans are obsessed with her earthy language and bold criticism of the regime. Two months ago, one of those metaphors landed her in prison. In an audacious assault, Ms. Nyanzi denounced the President as a “pair of buttocks” who does “what buttocks do.” She was arrested and imprisoned for five weeks on charges of “offensive” communication and “disturbing the peace” of the President. The human rights activist and Lecturer at Makerere University has fianlly admitted that Jail taught her a lesson in a Facebook Post.The lecturer had spent more than 30 days in Pris...

Bayern Munich players c ele brate. PHOTO/COURTESY Traditionally, the reigning Bundesliga champions have the honour of getting the new season underway and once again Bayern Munich will be involved in the opening match. The 27-time German champions face Bayer Leverkusen at home in the Allianz Arena on Friday night, with everything pointing towards yet another winning start for the Bavarians. Although Bayern suffered a number of disappointing results on their Asian tour – losing to both Milan clubs, as well as Napoli and Liverpool, they found their form when they needed it. Bayern won the German Super Cup on penalties against Borussia Dortmund and then had a convincing 5-0 win against third division Chemnitzer FC in the German Cup on the weekend. Bayer Leverkusen, meanwhile, needed extra-time in their 3-0 cup game win against Karlsruher SC, who also campaign in the third division. But it is not only the current form that suggests the three points stay in the ...

So you're in your twenties? Perhaps you’ve graduated from or are at university, you’ve passed your driving test, maybe moved out from home and working. However, there is one thing that hasn't happened. You have yet to have sex. This may be out of choice for religious or personal reasons, which is fine and great. However, if it isn't out of choice it maybe playing on your mind, hurting your confidence and might even be stopping your from feeling like you're a ‘real adult.’ It does mess with your mind, I agree as from my experience you end up hating drinking games, especially ones like ‘Never Have I Ever’, as they always end up sexual which makes it difficult to take part to the point you don't want to as you cant join in. This may mean you lose social time with friends or even a new group of people. However, as someone who is in this position, I am able to offer some advice for those of you feeling down or bad about it due the societal pressures many of us may f...
