Henry Kamusiime is no more after being found dead in an eucalyptus plantation on Rwomugina Hill in Kakiika Parish. He was a second-year student at Bishop Stuart University in Mbarara district studying a degree course in Education.
Besides where his body was lying, police found there two bottles containing Almatix, a veterinary acaricide and water which Kamusiime is believed to have taken. Almatix is a concentration used to kill ticks, mites and lice from animals, especially from cattle.
Investigations into the cause of his death have started by the police.
The OC CIID Mbarara police, Mr Ian Kakuru, said: “We are still investigating the cause of his death but according to information gathered at the scene of crime and beyond, Kamusiime could have taken his life after gambling his tuition fees.
“We are not sure if it was suicide. Students have their problems of girlfriend and boyfriend and without forgetting this rampant vice of betting where they end up betting tuition fees. We need to first establish if he had paid tuition,” said John Mwesigwa, the Dean of Students according to a reporter of The daily monitor newspaper.
Elineo Mwine, a former roommate to Kamusiime, said he had no clue about his problems that forced him to commit suicide.
“I was with him on Monday but as you know at university, everyone minds their own lives. I didn’t know where he went and what happened until I received news that Henry had been breathed his last,” he narrated.
A relationship should be fueled by fun and not only sex and money
An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips. All couples want to have a successful and rewarding relationship, yet it is normal for couples to have ups and downs in love. To meet these challenges, and to keep your relationship healthy and happy, you need to work at it.
Relationships are like bank accounts – if there are fewer deposits than withdrawals, you will run into difficulties.
Tips for a successful relationship
Tips that may help you improve your relationship and be better prepared to meet the challenges along the way include:
Talk to each other – just because you love each other doesn’t mean you will be able to communicate well or can read your partner’s mind, or that they can read yours. Communicate your needs – don’t wait for your partner to try to guess what is going on with you.
If you have something to bring up, do it gently – going on the attack rarely gets you what you want.
Listen to each other – often we are so busy defending ourselves that we don’t hear what our partner is saying. Let your partner know that you have heard them before you give them your response.
Remember the positives about your partner – this helps protect your relationship. One critical comment needs five positive comments to counteract its effect. Think carefully before saying what’s on your mind.
Make repair attempts – if your attempts to talk about an issue don’t go as planned, try not to let the situation become even more negative (such as not talking for extended periods or ignoring the other person’s attempts). Saying sorry or touching your partner in a caring manner shows you care, even though you disagree.
Spend time together – make your relationship a priority and make time for each other, even if you have to book it in. Regular ‘deposits in your relationship bank account’ will help protect your relationship.
Work on feeling good about yourself – this will help the way you feel about your relationship.
Everyone is different – accept and value differences in others, including your partner. We often choose people who have qualities and abilities we would like more of. This is one of the reasons why our relationships offer us significant opportunities to grow and develop as people.
Make plans – set goals for your relationship and plan for your future. This shows that you are both in the relationship for the long term.
Be supportive – try not to judge, criticise or blame each other; we are all human. Remind yourself that you are a team, and in order for the team to be successful, you each have to cheer the other on.
Learn from arguments – accept that arguments will happen and try to resolve them with respect. The strongest predictor of divorce is ‘contempt’, which is any action whereby your partner feels ‘put down’ by you, whether it is the tone of your voice or what you say. Often in arguments, we become overwhelmed and this can often lead to behaviours that harm our relationship.
Stay calm during disagreements – or if this is not possible, take time out. Taking an ‘us’ perspective that prioritises the relationship rather than a ‘you’ and ‘me’ perspective can be very useful.
Look at your part in the conflict rather than focusing only on your partner’s contribution. Your partner is more likely to acknowledge his or her contribution if you do the same. Research has shown that relationships fall into difficulty when partners begin to think ‘here we go again’ and this negative cycle is associated with loneliness, hurt and disappointment.
Be sexually considerate – be affectionate (sometimes a lingering kiss or a warm hug are just as important). Accept that individuals have different sex drives and to sustain a healthy and happy sex life requires negotiation. A reduction in a couple’s physical connection is often a warning sign of problems in a relationship.
Be attentive – demonstrate your commitment to the relationship. It is what you do for someone that tells them that you love them. We tend to give our partner what we hope to receive but they may prefer another form of affection. Do they like gifts, quality time with you, a note or a cooked meal? Once you know what they like, make an effort to provide it.
Enjoy yourself – have fun and celebrate your life together. Rituals can enhance your relationship. It’s also important to try new things as a couple. Doing fun activities together is very important, as often ‘deep and meaningfuls’ about couple issues can turn into disagreements which leave you both feeling worse, not better. Fun activities are like glue.
Be flexible – let your relationship grow and adapt as you both change.
Share power – ensure that each of you feels that your opinion counts. Research shows that relationships where the female partner feels that she can influence her partner are the most successful.
An honest answer is like a kiss on the lips. Proverbs 24:25
We all want to be loved, and we have a desire to love others even if it’s not apparent on the surface. Sometimes our love gets stuck from the happenings of life, from the pains, hurts, and losses.
In conclusion fully realize that nobody is perfect, everyone makes mistakes, life can be difficult sometimes. Just know that there is hope, there is a way, you only need to be patient some times.
