An open love letter to that girl who promised “to tell me something”
Dear Girl who promised to tell me something,I have no time to waste. So I will jump straight into the fray and take the bull by its horns. First, this letter is not just directed to you but to some girls out there who think they can make the first move on a guy and get away with it. So, please share this with that assemblage of busy bodies you call friends and tell them that we can’t keep up with the speed at which they are running after our souls. Call us slow brothers if you want, but we need some breathing space. Honestly, we need it.
By the way, I was supposed to write this letter on a toilet tissue but I considered the matter and wondered who still writes letters on toilet paper except some inane high school brats. As in, who does that? That’s how you survived the embarrassment.

Sorry, for digressing but you promised to tell me something, and though you haven’t yet told me what you want to tell me, I can read in between the lines and tell where all this will end given the needless calls that you have been tormenting me with over the last couple of months. I thought I should intervene before matters get worse.
Perhaps I should let you know that, on paper I may still appear single but in reality I’m not. I have met the woman that I would love to spend the rest of my life with.
In fact that morning when you rudely interrupted my rest with your call and your ridiculous promise to tell me something, I was badly expecting her call. That’s why I will never forgive you for what you did that morning.
Perhaps I should also let you know that my lady never drew me in by giving me incessant calls. She had to wait for my calls, pick them as and when they came in and even miss them sometimes. She didn’t draw me in with the kind of monotonous chit-chat that you torture my ears with but with conversations that are without words; the coy blushes when our eyes locked, the innocent touches when we shared time together and ultimately, the decision to attend a poetry recital just because I was reciting. She even invited her sisters to the recital, can you imagine? Now, honestly, if I don’t marry that girl who else can I marry?
But you, who can’t even make time to come to the Uganda National Cultural Centre to watch me do what I do best; who is going to marry you? I can’t. I swear!
Probably you should meet my lady so that you understand what I am talking about. She is the prettiest lady in this world.
I don’t know whether it’s the sparkle in her eyes or the charm in her turn but there is just something about that lady that makes me want to bow at the throne of her beauty.
So, please never interrupt those moments when I am thinking about her with your promises “to tell me something.” The next time you do, you will pay with your life.
From your disenchanted Brother in Christ.

Makerere university volleyball team set for Inter-University games
Makerere university Volleyball Team is in high spirits ahead of the November 2014 inter-university games. The team, comprised of a male and female wing, has been participating in an ongoing tournament that kicked off in June 2014 in Kumi district.
While in Kumi, the male players in the Makerere university team (both staff and students of Makerere university) secured victory over Nkumba university and Ndejje university teams.
In progressive matches, these players triumphed over Air force Entebbe, UCC, Loria and Old Kampala Volleyball teams.
This ongoing tournament brought together a total of 21 teams from around the country, playing against each other in clusters of six.
Over the weekend on 4th Oct. 2014, the Makerere university male team played Jinja Volleyball Club (JVC) at Uganda Christian University
; scoring 20 points against JVC’s 25. The Makerere university team later beat Old Kampala Volleyball team 3 to 2. Sky volleyball team emerged overall winner of this tournament.
The vibrant female wing, comprised of 18 students, equally demonstrated zeal and skill by whacking Mulago Volleyball team in the weekend match. The Makerere University ladies scored 2 against 0 for Mulago; before finally succumbing to Uganda Christian University Volleyball team.
Although the Makerere University Volleyball team has not made it to the National finals, Coach Eric Kawoya is convinced that the momentum built can only get better.
“We assembled this team in January this year and their performance, given the short period of practice, is impressive,” he says. “This team is getting more and more competence by the day. There is no need to hire mercenaries anymore. We should instead support and facilitate our team comprised of students and members of staff of Makerere University. We are now getting ready for the inter university games this November in Mbarara and Nairobi.
I am confident we shall bring victory home,” adds Kawoya.
Kawoya reveals that the Mak Volleyball team is financially constrained, with the female wing lacking appropriate sports gear. “For this tournament we received facilitation from the University but for friendly matches we have to deep into our pockets,” he says.
Dr. Chris Bakuneeta from the College of Natural Sciences has been the Chairperson of the Competition Organizing Committee for close to two years. He is passionate about reviving the vibrancy of sports among members of Staff. “We initiated a lot of sports for Staff like swimming, football and volleyball. The turn up was initially promising, but of late we could do with a little more enthusiasm because sports is good for us all.
I therefore encourage more members of Staff to get involved in a sport of their choice. I play volleyball myself,” he says.
Now Dr. Bakuneeta is organizing a sports-filled day, during which interested members of staff will participate in a variety of sports with prizes to be won for the top performers. This, he says, will be before the close of 2014.
