Entertaimnent desk Kamule Kumalo

Grab your jumpsuits and emotional support snacks—Squid Game is back! Netflix just dropped the first trailer for Season 2, and it's as wild as you'd expect. Player 456, Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), is returning to the deadly playground, still traumatized but somehow ready for round two. This time, he's not just playing—he’s trying to save lives. Spoiler alert: good luck with that.

Season 1 had us glued to our screens as 456 desperate contestants risked it all (read: their lives) for a cash prize that would make Elon Musk jealous.Now, Gi-hun is joined by a new batch of equally broke players ready to gamble their lives for a shot at fortune. The stakes? Higher. The games? Deadlier. The trauma? Priceless.

The trailer throws us straight into the chaos with the OG nightmare: Red Light, Green Light. Yes, the creepy giant doll is back with her laser-sharp death stare. This time, one unlucky player loses to... a bee. Classic.


As in Season 1, the players get to vote on whether to quit or keep playing. Gi-hun pleads for sanity, but cash-starved contestants can’t resist the clinking sound of coins filling the giant piggy bank above them. Cue the ominous chants of, "One more game!"

Returning to the carnage are the sinister Front Man and undercover detective Hwang Jun-ho, alongside more games, more drama, and more ways to die creatively, as teased by director Hwang Dong-hyuk. Netflix hopes this season mirrors the record-breaking success of the first, which garnered 1.65 billion viewing hours and turned South Korean dramas into must-watch TV.

Squid Game Season 2 drops on December 26, 2024, just in time to ruin your holiday cheer. Oh, and Season 3? Mark your calendars for 2025. Until then, may the odds be ever in your favor. Or not.

"Punches in the Parliament: Hon. Anthony Akol vs. Hon. Zaake – When Politics Packs a Punch"

Uganda’s Parliament is no stranger to heated debates, but on this memorable day, words turned to fists in a fiery spectacle. Hon. Anthony Akol, known for his “no-nonsense” approach, made headlines once again by turning Parliament into a boxing ring. The scene unfolded in front of the shocked yet unsurprised Hon. Speaker Anita Among, who quickly found herself the main witness of the scuffle before her security team ushered her out to safety. The drama kicked off when Hon. Zaake, in a curious display of audacity, approached Hon. Akol, supposedly “checking for a gun.” Whether he was truly concerned about security or simply looking to provoke, one thing became crystal clear: Hon. Akol wasn’t having it. Akol, perhaps recalling his previous altercation with former MP Hon. Odonga Otto, took swift action. He landed punches that echoed through the chamber, catching everyone’s attention and sparking a chorus of gasps. Despite the serious nature of parliamentary business, these MPs seem to have c...

Kilama Joel Opiyo, aka DJ Joel Fresh , is no stranger to the spotlight—or the bass drop. Born on November 30, 1995 , Joel has spent the last decade living the highs and lows of the DJ life, earning his stripes as one of Uganda’s most electrifying selectors. Whether spinning in the sweltering heat of Northern Uganda or the neon glow of Kampala’s clubs, Joel has seen it all: the glory, the grind, and a whole lot of questionable dance moves.  “Joel is like the city’s anthem—you just can’t miss him,” one fan jokes. “If he’s not at one spot, he’s at the other two!” He is also a strong pillar in the Podium Djz Uganda Movement!

If you didn’t make it to Bapa Hotel last weekend for the All-White Luxury Brunch , let me break it to you gently: you didn’t just miss a brunch — you missed a cultural moment. Hosted by the impossibly stylish Trona , alongside Kash , MC Lucky , the Podium DJz , and crowd-charger MC Young Money , this wasn’t your typical “eggs and coffee” affair. This was brunch with a capital B — a collision of fashion, music, and unbothered elegance under the Northern Uganda sun. White Hot, All Day The Bar “All White” as a theme might feel familiar — but in Gulu , it’s an unspoken runway challenge. Flowing maxi dresses, tailored double-breasted suits , pearl-embellished sneakers , gold accents catching the light… the city turned up in their best interpretations of summer whites. Even Lewis Fashionz broke the internet with a full white kanzu that made traditional wear look like it belonged on the Met Gala carpet. And when the afternoon sun lit up Bapa’s garden, every photo snapped looked like ...

Something’s been bubbling quietly in Gulu’s influencer streets — a secret so soft, yet too loud to hide. For weeks, fans whispered, cameras zoomed, and captions got mysteriously shorter. And now, the whispers have finally turned into headlines: Trona — yes, the Trona of Bapa Hotel fame — is four months pregnant! They say love always finds a stage, and for Trona, it started under the golden lights of Bapa Hotel — the same place she built her influencer crown. That unforgettable night when a Kampala-based influencer knelt down with a ring and roses? Oh, Gulu stood still. Phones were up, reels went viral, and hashtags multiplied like heart emojis. But what if that fairytale night wasn’t the final chapter — just the prologue to something messier, juicier, and far more real? Because word on the city’s wireless grapevine is that this baby bump might have another storyline entirely. 👀 A few eagle-eyed fans noticed her quiet shifts — the late-night studio c...
