So sell it and buy something you can manage.
MPs yesterday reminded President Museveni to fulfil his pledge and complete the 'mansion' left behind by the late Jacob Oulanyah. The house, which has more than 30 rooms, requires more than Shs 2bn to complete. The MPs said none of Oulanyah's relatives, including his children, e to complete the house located in Ayomlony village, Omoro. @BbegMedia

I really hate when a committed man tells me he’s thinking about me. Please think about the economy I’m really not in the mood.

I don’t find these to be feel good stories. He should have stayed away from them.
Naomi Osaka's Grandfather Refused to Speak to Her Mother for Years. In 2018, He Wept Watching Naomi on Television

Somewhere in Hokkaido, a 73-year-old man watched his granddaughter on television, and wept.

His name is Tetsuo Osaka. And for years, he had not spoken to his own Tamaki. She grew up in Nemuro, a fishing town at the eastern tip of Hokkaido. Her mother's ancestors fished in the Kuril Islands until the Soviet Union took them over at the end of the Second World War, and the family moved to Nemuro. For high school, Tamaki went to Sapporo. There, in 1990, she met a Haitian-American college student named Leonard François.

They kept the relationship secret for years. When Tamaki's father began pushing the idea of an arranged marriage, she told him about Leonard. He did not approve. He accused her of bringing shame on the family, because Leonard was not Japanese or simply he was Black.

The couple moved far away from Hokkaido, to the city of Osaka. That is where Naomi was born, in October 1997. Her surname, in the end, came from her mother's side.

For a long stretch, Tamaki had little to no contact with her family. Accounts differ on how long. One says about five years. Another says about a decade. A third says twelve years.

Then, slowly, the silence ended.

Naomi's Japanese grandfather had been against the family's plan for her tennis, and the decision to homeschool her. But he came around. Eventually, he became one of her biggest supporters.

When she won the US Open in 2018, he was 73, and he cried. In January 2019, at 74, he smiled at a press conference in Nemuro, the town his daughter had left. In 2021, he told a Japanese newspaper that he would like Naomi to open a tennis school for children in Nemuro. He likened her to an alpinist, always going after higher mountains.
