Uganda’s hip-hop scene has no shortage of talent, but few rappers command the same kind of attention and respect as Da Agent—the man fans call Uganda’s fastest rapper. Known offstage as Ivan Wabwire, the lyrical powerhouse has revealed the unexpected source of inspiration behind his groundbreaking style, and it’s a story rooted in culture, creativity, and sheer determination. In a recent interview, Da Agent dropped the bombshell that his signature rap flow was inspired by Kadodi, a traditional Gishu dance performed during cultural initiation ceremonies in eastern Uganda.

Uganda’s entertainment scene is no stranger to drama, but this time the fire didn’t come from a stage performance or a viral street brawl—it came from the sharp tongue of one of the country’s most respected voices in the arts. Veteran dramatist and cultural critic Alex Mukulu has taken aim at controversial singer Alien Skin, dismissing him as nothing more than a “poet” masquerading as a musician. And if that wasn’t enough, he lumped rising star Fik Gaza into the same category, accusing the new crop of entertainers of “lowering the standards” of Uganda’s once-glorious music industry.

If you’ve ever shared a room with someone who blurts out random words or even full sentences in the middle of the night, you’ve witnessed sleep talking — also known as somniloquy. It can be funny, confusing, or downright unsettling. But for the person doing it, sleep talking can actually signal stress, poor sleep habits, or even underlying health issues. While it’s usually harmless, helping a loved one manage it can improve both their sleep — and yours.

If you’ve ever wondered why some days you feel upbeat, energized, and at peace — while others leave you drained, anxious, or moody — the answer could be found in your serotonin levels. Often called the “positive energy hormone,” serotonin plays a huge role in keeping both your body and mind balanced. It’s not just about happiness — serotonin is tied to digestion, blood pressure, sleep quality, wound healing, bone density, and even memory. And unlike dopamine — the “reward hormone” that spikes when you achieve something or check off a goal — serotonin is all about calmness, stability, and…

Expectant mothers in Uganda can breathe easier. Leading gynecologists have reaffirmed that paracetamol (widely known as Panadol) remains safe for use during pregnancy—dismissing widespread fears sparked by media reports linking the common pain reliever to autism. The Association of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists of Uganda (AOGU) issued a strong statement on September 26, 2025, addressing growing concerns after speculative headlines suggested prenatal paracetamol use could increase the risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental challenges in children.

Forget chemical creams and lip lightening products—nature has its own solutions. If you’ve been searching for safe, effective, and pocket-friendly ways to get naturally pink lips, you don’t have to look further than your kitchen or garden. For many people, dark lips can be a source of insecurity. While there’s absolutely nothing wrong with having naturally darker lips, some prefer a softer, pinker look. The problem? Most over-the-counter ointments and lip-lightening creams are packed with harsh chemicals that can damage your skin in the long run. That’s where natural remedies come in—offering a gentler way to nourish, brighten, and restore…

Jinja, Uganda – Opposition leader and former pop star Robert Kyagulanyi, better known as Bobi Wine, has officially launched his National Unity Platform (NUP) manifesto for the 2026 general election, promising a radical reset of Uganda’s politics, economy, and governance. The 44-year-old musician-turned-politician, who has become the face of Uganda’s opposition, told a massive crowd of supporters in Jinja on Monday that his campaign is about more than replacing long-time President Yoweri Museveni—it’s about rebuilding a nation that works for its citizens.

KAMPALA — Opposition leader Robert Kyagulanyi, aka Bobi Wine, has dropped one of the most daring political promises ahead of Uganda’s 2026 elections — to shrink the country’s bloated government and redirect billions back to struggling citizens. Unveiling the National Unity Platform (NUP) manifesto for 2026–2031, the musician-turned-politician didn’t mince words, accusing President Yoweri Museveni’s regime of fostering “wasteful spending, reckless borrowing, and a culture of corruption” while ordinary Ugandans sink deeper into poverty.

KAMPALA — With Uganda’s 2026 elections on the horizon, Mugisha Muntu and his Alliance for National Transformation (ANT) are staking their campaign on one explosive promise: a zero-tolerance war on corruption. In a fiery manifesto launch this week, the opposition party didn’t mince words, vowing to confront what it calls the country’s “greatest national cancer” with sweeping reforms, severe punishments for the corrupt, and fresh leadership rooted in integrity. “Corruption is unacceptable and will be stopped under an ANT-led government,” the document declares, pledging to rip out graft from the very top of the state.

KAMPALA – Uganda’s biggest opposition force, the National Unity Platform (NUP), has sent shockwaves through the Buganda sub-region after unveiling its new lineup of parliamentary flagbearers for the 2026 general elections — a list that leaves out some of its most recognizable figures while ushering in a wave of fresh blood. The announcement, made Monday by the party’s Election Management Committee, has stirred excitement, anxiety, and controversy in equal measure.
