Day #30: The Finish Line and Afrobloggers

Posted on June 30, 2019June 30, 2019 by Ernest Tuape

“For wherever your treasure is, that is where your heart will be too.” Matthew 6:21 and Luke 12:34 [I wanted to use a picture of Eliud Kipchoge setting the marathon world record in Berlin but I couldn’t find one that was clear and free to use. I’d have to fork out at least USD 100…

Day #29: To You My Readers

Posted on June 29, 2019June 29, 2019 by Ernest Tuape

The first person to post a comment on this blog was Kevin. That was in April, two months after I started this blog. It was a big deal for me. I jumped in celebration as though I’d scored a goal and poured myself a glass of wine. I was elated and thankful and out of…

Day #28: You Inspire Me

Posted on June 28, 2019June 28, 2019 by Ernest Tuape

Throughout this blogging challenge, there have been many bloggers across Africa from whom I’ve picked lessons. Bloggers who have unknowingly taught and inspired me to tweak stories, to be bold and authentic, to read and create more, to come here every day and to fill these pages with words. And in no particular order; Nobuhle…

Day #27: The Lessons

Posted on June 27, 2019June 27, 2019 by Ernest Tuape

I use one of two main routes on my return from work. It’s either from Katonga road to John Babiiha Avenue and then to Kamwokya where I jump in a taxi to Kisaasi. Or I take Sezibwa road to Ternan Avenue, then to Kampala road and finally to the old taxi park. I prefer the…

Day #25: Shining Brands

Posted on June 25, 2019June 25, 2019 by Ernest Tuape

It would’ve been easy for me to throw a die and choose any local brands I feel are doing the most in my country. But, in doing my regular job, I work for a firm that’s impartial, the kind of firm that shouldn’t show sides on which brands or organizations they feel are the best…

Day #24: Views on Racism and LGBTQI

Posted on June 24, 2019June 25, 2019 by Ernest Tuape

I shouldn’t have signed up for today’s writing prompt. This should’ve been one of those days when I say, pass, and I look the other end. It’s a topic that’s tangents away from my alley, something I’m not comfortable with. It makes me shiver. I’m scratching the beards on my right cheek. I feel cornered….

Day #23: Some Facts and Lots of Fiction

Posted on June 23, 2019June 25, 2019 by Ernest Tuape

Fact Uganda had eight presidents between 9 October 1962 and 26 January 1986. With eight years under his belt, General Idi Amin was the longest consecutive serving president at that time. General Bazilio Olara-Okello was president for two days. There’s been only one man at the helm after those eight presidents. I don’t have to…

Day #22: A Monster They Didn’t Mention

Posted on June 22, 2019June 25, 2019 by Ernest Tuape

It doesn’t have a name in my local language. If it does, I’ve never heard it. It’s nameless. It has no smell. Like air, it’s invisible. What is it? Did our ancestors suffer from it? Did they know it existed? Could they identify it? Maybe they saw the signs but shoved it aside like it…

Day #21: Unpopular Opinions

Posted on June 21, 2019June 24, 2019 by Ernest Tuape

Are you serious? Time heals all wounds? Who said that? It doesn’t work. I agree with my blogmate, Lila, who on one of her blog posts wrote, “Anyone who has suffered loss will tell you grief never goes away.” You can find it on this post from her blog, The Write Edition. If violence is…
