Uganda needs to unleash its Tourism potential

Uganda, a country gifted by nature, will fascinate you. The diversities of languages, cultures and tastes, make the country so charming. Sceneries like Murchison falls, Source of the Nile, Queen Elizabeth National park, Kidepo National park to mention but a few are set for an unforgettable holiday. It is a country where a visitor has an opportunity to experience unparalleled luxury and a level of refinement that is head and shoulders way beyond what other tropical holiday destinations offer. Despite the huge tourism potential, remain untapped and under-appreciated. Uganda’s tourism sector has grown steadily in recent years. International tourist arrivals have increased significantly every year and last year earned the country close to $1 billion in foreign exchange. The real star of the Uganda’s tourism sector is regional and International travel, which last year generated $800 million for the economy. Much of this growth has been led by the private sector as Air Uga

Gerontophobia has made cosmetics a spending priority

Idleness they say is devils workshop. In my universe such a thing does not exist. This is informed by scientifically proven research that states that men like me spend eighty per cent of their time thinking about how to make money and our opposite gender matters while our female counterparts spend their equivalent mulling on beauty and gossips.

Long gone are the days when world war will be conducted in military hardware. I am one of those thinkers who think the next world war will be about cyber warfare. Countries no longer need an industrial complex to marshal deadly force to launch an attack on their perceived enemies. Recent data shows that potential attacks in cyberspace are an illustration of growing asymmetry in warfare and countries that will be laggards in this information spectrum development will also be an underdogs in future warfare. In countries like Russia, USA, Estonia, United Kingdom, Israel, China Germany and Finland, Internet technology has over the past decade underpinned both economic and military might of each country. Studies in Russia and United States of America have shown that reli

Mobile Phone Review: Lenovo S920

Lenovo S920 was among the six devices Lenovo launched together with its flagship device Lenovo K900 for the different range.The Lenovo S920 is still considered the best among the company’s high-end smartphone in the popular S Series. S920 has 5.3 Inches display and is powered by a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor. The device runs on Jelly Bean Android Operating system with Lenovo’s custom UI on top and comes with dual SIM support. When Lenovo announced the addition of gaming service that can help it overtake South Korea electronic giant Samsung in smartphone market battle in China, I was among those who were skeptical about the move. This is because their plan included social networking features that have become standard features in all smartphones and in my opinion, I saw nothing new to make me fork out a few dollars for a Lenovo phone. That was until I came across Lenovo S920. Launched at the beginning of this year, a phone that has a thickness of 7.9 mm is not dou
