“When the shopping gets tough, the tough ones get to go shopping.” It has been and it is still a heavy situation that you don’t need to tell a neighbour or a friend because it is all to us and a uniform. Hence a question; what is the way out for all of us?
Look at the prices and costs of necessities, fuel is getting next to gold in being second expensive mineral,
a lot has been foregone and forgotten in order to save for what to eat, some people now only get one meal a day and things like sugar, breakfast sounds like history in their ears.
Ever meet a friend growing extra thin and was once fat and wonder why? It is just because of the current
situation in our country, Uganda! If you asked your self why all this is happening, you will perfectly fail to secure the answer but if you asked a friend, he/she will tell you Jesus is soon coming back because all these signs were said to happen. Why? Still stands.
I don’t know what you may think but it has become a rotten story that stinks to every body both in villages and in towns, being young or old, men and women. I may not tell what is happening to your side but if you don’t mind share it out with us.
Just imagine if you invited 100 people to your party getting 60 turning up for the function will be chance.
People have cut short attending parties because they increase on their expenditures, no buying new clothing, school dues is another threat parents are changing their children from expensive to cheap schools and for my dear orphan children who are the most vulnerable in all most everything, they are facing the true negative side of the situation.
What should be done? We don’t know for even when we go farming, the soils are no more longer fertile to support high crop production, pests and diseases have increased the speed at which they destroy crops. The rains are unreliable, I mean things have gone to the opposite side, the goal posts have been shifted.
Struggling out like an hunger lion, people have turned to gambling for survival. While others have got to dubious acts and behaviours to secure a living. You will meet young girls being forced to get married that parents can get bride price, young boys exposed to child labour for they have to help in finding something to make their homes and families stand. The disadvantages in all these are known to all of us and with such in mind, what is coming next?
Diseases have increased among people and the cost of treatment is as expensive as buying a new house. If God is really observing all the happenings, then His miracle will be the only answer, as He saved the Israelites from the hands of the Egyptians, let Him save us too from this slavery.
Whose concern is it? It may not be a justified answer as to who is concerned but if you are concerned, then think positively to justify the means or factors to the safe ending.
