Skip to content

Renowned TikToker Auntie Kaduuka Clowie, real name Hellen Nakimaanya, is said to have relocated to Toronto, Canada a few days after Police issued serious summons against her.

She fled the country when Bweyogerere Police put her on the list of criminals on charges related to “Obtaining money by false pretense” from multiple individuals based in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

She had previously been reported to have relocated to Tanzania, but she took to her social media channels and bragged about how she is currently settled in Canada and enjoying the winter season.

Waliwo agambye Auntie Kaduuka Must Shine Nsizidde wano mu saza lya Ssabasajja Kabaka e Toronto mu Tanzania. MAWULIRE KI EYO? CANADA NGA ENYOGOGA NYO OKUSINGA TANZANIA

Auntie Kaduuka is accused of having stolen close to Shs400m that she dubiously collected from the Kadamas with fake promises of securing property for them.

She earned the trust of several of them when she claimed that she would start small businesses such as Chapati and Charcoal stalls, and buy land to construct their own houses.

The Minister in Charge of Children and Youth Affairs, Hon. Balaam Barugahara had vowed to arrest Auntie Kaduuka but going by her socials all that seems to have failed.

TikTok hawker Madubarah UG further remanded to Kigo Prison for hate speech and malicious content

Juma Musuuza, a 27-year-old shoe hawker known as Madubarah UG on TikTok, has been further remanded to Kigo Prison until December 13.

This follows his appearance before the Entebbe Chief Magistrate’s Court on charges of hate speech and spreading malicious information about Uganda’s First Family and Speaker Anita Among.

Prosecutors allege that Madubarah used his TikTok account to post content deemed offensive toward President Yoweri Kaguta Museveni, his son Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, and other figures linked to the ruling National Resistance Movement (NRM).

Court heard that in October, Madubarah, while in Wakiso District, shared videos and posts criticising President Museveni’s rumoured succession plans.

If Museveni hands over power to his drunkard son, the country will be destroyed within two days. Let Ugandans pray for our country and ourselves.

Madubarah UG is also accused of targeting Gen. Muhoozi Kainerugaba, stating, “If Muhoozi takes over power from his father, the country will be destroyed within two days according to how he drinks. Whoever talks, we shall kill or arrest you.”

Additionally, he is alleged to have made disrespectful remarks about Speaker Anita Among, claiming, “…using taxpayers’ money to build a mansion which is better than State House and buying bleaching jelly [chemicals].”

Despite efforts by his legal team to secure bail, the court ordered Madubarah to be further remanded, citing the need for more time to prepare for the next hearing. He is now set to return to court on December 13, when his bail application will also be reviewed.

David Lutalo defends Alien Skin amidst charges, calls for his release

Skip to content

David Lutalo has publicly spoken out in defence of Alien Skin, who is facing assault and robbery charges.

Alien Skin is set to appear in court today for a bail hearing regarding the allegations.

Lutalo, while addressing the media, expressed his belief that the charges brought against Alien Skin are baseless and merely an attempt to penalize him for his unconventional behaviour.

They should release him and he comes back so we do music.

The charges are fabricated; they are just using his unruly behaviour to punish him. I heard the allegations against him, and I decided to support him. I’m advocating for #FreeAlienSkin.

Lutalo’s comments come as fans and fellow musicians rally behind Alien Skin, with the hashtag #FreeAlienSkin across social media.

Dianah Nabatanzi slams critics demanding celebrities to have children

Renowned media personality and actress Dianah Nabatanzi is not happy with critics who continue to ask celebrities to give birth.

She stresses that such criticism is usually traumatizing to the people who are faced with such questions and believes that it is not right at all.

Nabatanzi also adds that some critics go the extra mile and start to accuse them of overusing family planning methods and abortion which she claims sometimes is not true as she respectfully asked them to stop.

She noted that since she has encountered several similar questions on her socials, she is no longer bothered by the comments.

The issue of critics demanding and pressurizing people to give birth I feel like it is not right at all. People should let others live their lives. Some resort to accusing others of overusing family planning methods and abortion yet sometimes it is not true.

With respect. I plead that we should leave that thing of pressurizing others. It is somehow traumatizing. Personally, I am no longer bothered because have faced a lot of criticism on social media about that and I’m now strong.

Dorah Mwima reveals the secret to maintaining a successful marriage and balancing personal ambitions

Skip to content

Dorah, wife to Nader Barrak, has opened up about how she manages the balance between her marriage and her passions, talking about what she believes is the cornerstone of a successful marriage/relationship.

In an interview with NBS TV, Dorah stated that the foundation of balancing marriage and personal ambitions lies in choosing the right partner.

First of all, you can’t be too much for the right man because the right man will also be too, too much to accommodate you as well. So one thing to maintain a healthy marriage is marrying right by having an open relationship and communication.

Marrying right means having an open relationship where both partners communicate openly about their expectations and challenges.

For her, the key is discussing matters before marriage to ensure alignment rather than leaving things to be figured out later.

Dorah Mwima was crowned Miss Uganda (2008-2009) and has since transitioned from a beauty pageant to a philanthropist and entrepreneur.
