Young Ugandans, let us believe in ourselves more. Let us support each others' businesses. Let us feel the collective pain for those less fortunate than us. We belong to a very powerful generation. Interconnected, informed, tech-savvy, etc. Play to those strengths #ThisTaxMustGo

Revolutions have been happening way before Internet was created. So Dictators worry not. Wether you shut the internet down or increase the prices or not you are still going. When oppressed people want to organize, nothing stops them. These restrictions may even fasten the process

The year is 2019, and there is an NGO getting aid to pay social media tax for individuals who can't afford them. Somehow this is progress. Vision 2040. – at Kampala, Uganda

Before you talk about how mobile will revolutionise Africa remember that these are private corporations, their majority shareholders are usually government affiliated if not government completely, and in the choice between appeasing government v. citizens, government wins. teapaw.org/qzafrica/status/101428…

Funny how Ugandans keep wondering who 'ill-advises' and "misleads" the president on this and that. Please, let's not undermine the big man's competence in making his own mistakes & unpopular decisions. Abeg! #ThisTaxMustGo

In Uganda, people upcountry are now visiting phone technicians saying that their phones are faulty because whatsApp is not functional. It is that serious! The effects of a not well thought through #SocialMediaTax.
