By Moses Akuma Odims We have the fertile soil. We have the coffee, the cocoa, the energetic youth, the 180 megawatts of power waiting to be used, and five industrial parks already marked on the map in Moyo, Yumbe, Koboko, Madi-Okollo and Nebbi. We sit on the doorstep of Congo and South Sudan — two of the biggest markets on this continent. With all this, West Nile has no excuse to be poor. Uganda wants to grow its economy tenfold — from $53 billion to $500 billion by 2040. It will...

OPINION  By Moses Akuma Odims West Nile stands at an interesting moment. We are more than four million people — resilient, diverse, hardworking — hosting both nationals and refugees. We have fertile soils, we border three countries, we have the Albert Nile, we have tourism potential, we have growing power supply and we have Muni University. Yet the numbers still worry us. About 1.3 million people — nearly four in ten — still live in multidimensional poverty....

By Dr. Betty Udongo Pacutho, PhD Nebbi, Uganda — “I thought my life had ended when I became pregnant.” I have heard that sentence dozens of times from girls who come to our centre. They are 15, 17, 19 years old. They had dreams of becoming nurses, teachers, businesswomen. Then pregnancy came, and with it, silence. Shame. Rejection. School doors closed. But I have also seen what happens next when a girl is given a second chance. Her head lifts. She begins to believe in...

By Kumakech Sam KUSAJA, Social Policy Analyst. The recent killing of rugby player Sydney Gongodyo through mob action is a tragic reminder of the growing threat of mob justice in Uganda. While communities are often frustrated by crime and delays in the justice system, taking the law into one's own hands can never be justified. Mob violence undermines the rule of law and often results in the death of innocent people who may be wrongly accused. Uganda continues to record alarming levels of...

By Oringi Denis | Zoomer The proposal to support West Nile with water for production through the construction of reservoir dams on River Ora, River Kochi, and River Enyau, alongside solar irrigation schemes and valley dams for commercial farmers, is a good and strategic idea. Water for production is critical for commercial agriculture, livestock farming, food security, and climate resilience. However, before placing fresh requests before President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, it is important...

By BUATRE George In many professions today, management follows clear systems, rules, and measurable results. However, teaching stands out as a unique profession that does not easily fit into these structured approaches. School leaders and administrators often find it more complex and challenging to manage teachers than other professionals such as doctors, engineers, or lawyers. This situation is not because teachers are unwilling to cooperate, but because of the nature of their work, their...

By Zoomer Africa’s Opinion The trial of Christopher Okello Onyum is not just another criminal case. It is a painful national mirror. It has forced Uganda to look at the value of innocent life, the meaning of justice, and the deep wound left behind when children are violently taken from society. Okello is accused of killing four toddlers at Ggaba Early Childhood Development Centre in Kampala on April 2, 2026. He has pleaded not guilty, and court will make the final decision based on...

By Zoomer Africa Editorial At a time when millions of Ugandans are struggling to keep food on the table, pay school fees, access proper health care, or build secure livelihoods, the reported decision by President Yoweri Museveni to pledge Shs100 million to each NRM MP-elect has landed like an insult to the public conscience. Multiple media reports said the pledge was made after the Kyankwanzi retreat, though reports differ on the exact number of beneficiaries, with some putting it at about...

Par Bob Patrick Oweka | Zoomer Africa Chaque dimanche matin, les églises se remplissent dans les villes, les communes et les villages. Les voix s’élèvent dans l’adoration, les mains se lèglent dans la prière, et les chants résonnent dans des sanctuaires bondés. Le nom de Jésus-Christ est proclamé avec passion, assurance et conviction. Beaucoup déclarent être sauvés. Beaucoup disent qu’ils...

By Bob Patrick Oweka Every Sunday morning, churches fill up across cities, towns, and villages. Voices rise in worship, hands are lifted in prayer, and songs echo through crowded sanctuaries. The name of Jesus Christ is proclaimed with passion, confidence, and conviction. Many declare themselves saved. Many say they believe. Many insist they belong to Him. Yet by Monday morning, something often changes. The same voices that sang in worship begin to lie, cheat, manipulate, and pursue selfish...

We’ve all had those moments where we just need to switch off our brains for ten minutes. Maybe you’re waiting for a bus, or maybe you just need a break from the intense, story-heavy RPGs that demand your full attention. Lately, I’ve found a lot of joy in the simple, slightly weird corners of mobile gaming. You know the type—games that don't take themselves too seriously but somehow keep you tapping away. One title that recently caught my eye in this genre is Crazy...
