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...

Gulu City’s concert scene has hit a rut, and it’s a rut the people are tired of. Same venues, same lineups, and the same well-worn stages have left concert-goers yawning. This weekend’s much-anticipated concert headlined by Rudeboy should’ve been a golden opportunity to showcase the North’s top-tier talent. But, as renowned artist BSG Labongo bluntly pointed out, the lineup lacks the local flavor and talent that could truly elevate the event. Northern Uganda, specifically Gulu, has an abundance of gifted musicians, but for some reason, the same small group of performers always ends up in the spotlight, taking the stage over and over again. It’s like clockwork, with mainstream acts who may not even resonate with the local vibe being given the spotlight, while incredibly talented, homegrown artists are sidelined. Labongo isn't alone in voicing his frustration; fans have been echoing these sentiments, pointing out that it’s time for Gulu’s music scene to step up and shine, highlightin...

It’s a hot Saturday night in Gulu, and the fellas just want to unwind at BJZ, Kweyo Village Shoppers, Masaki, or Password. But, as much as they look forward to the night, certain encounters can sometimes make them consider early retirement from the nightlife altogether. Rumor has it Rudeboy himself from Nigeria is thinking of bringing his wife along to shield him from these Real Life Forcers. Here’s a light-hearted dive into the quirks that make guys in Gulu groan… 1. Dishonesty or Deception Picture this: you’re at BJZ, chatting up a girl who claims she’s got a high-profile job, only for her to reveal three cocktails in that she’s “influencing” more than influencing. She reassures you that her purse matches her lifestyle, but when the waiter brings the bill, it’s “Oops, I forgot my bag at home.” It’s like every slay queen has a master’s degree in misdirection! Suddenly, guys find themselves checking their wallets, and let’s just say they understand why Rudeboy is bringing a personal...
