UGANDAN PLACES WHOSE NAMES HAVE LOST THEIR MEANINGS OR ORIGINS
Uganda's urban areas, especially Kampala and its surroundings, are evolving at breakneck speed. With every new road, mall, or apartment block, pieces of history are erased, sometimes without anyone noticing. Yet the names of many familiar places hold forgotten stories: of trees that no longer stand, markets that no longer trade, or communities that were shaped by culture, language, and even slang.
Here are Ugandan place names whose meanings or origins are disappearing, misunderstood, or lost to modern development.
Owino Market, Downtown Kampala. Today, Owino Market is recognized as Uganda's largest hub for second-hand clothing. Bustling with life and commerce, its current identity often overshadows the story behind its name, a story that has largely faded from public memory.
While it is popularly known as Owino, few people are aware that its official name is St. Balikuddembe Market, named in honor of Joseph Balikuddembe, a Ugandan Catholic martyr.
The name "Owino" is believed to

AGENTS ABANDONING THE PRACTICE OF TOPPING PROPERTY PRICES WITH COMMISSION.
Several years ago, when I first ventured into the Ugandan real estate market, a common practice among real estate agents was to top-up property prices with their commission. This practice resulted in each agent having their own price for the same property. Back then, it seemed like a normal part of doing business, as landlords were often unwilling to pay commissions on their quoted prices.
Agents resorted to topping-up property prices in order to secure their commissions, and the more they added, the more they earned. However, this practice had its downsides, including the hardening of landlords' hearts, locally known as "Okuzimba Omutima." As a proponent of capitalism and a believer in free market economics, I initially saw no issue with agents topping up prices. Buyers willingly paid the quoted price, and yet they had plenty of options to choose from. Moreover, topping-up property prices was not illegal.
However, times have changed, and this practice has become incr

THE PROS AND CONS OF BUYING AGREEMENT LAND IN UGANDA.
Buying land in Uganda can be a promising investment opportunity, but it's essential to carefully consider the type of land you're purchasing. One option that often arises is agreement land which is usually made up of parcels of land sold without a formal title. While agreement land can offer certain advantages, it also comes with its own set of challenges and risks. In this blog post, we'll explore the pros and cons of buying agreement land in Uganda to help you make a more informed decision. Advantages of Buying Agreement Land.Lower Cost.

COMMISSION IS A FLEXIBLE WAY TO EARN UNLIMITED INCOME IN THE WORKPLACE, RIGHT?
If you're a fresh graduate in Uganda, scrolling through job ads with one eye on your account balance and the other on your dreams, this one's for you. You've been told to look for "a stable salary," yet deep down you're wondering how stability is supposed to build the life you actually want. Rent, transport, data, family obligations, ambition, they all add up fast. And that little voice in your head keeps asking, "Is this it?" Here's the uncomfortable truth most people won't say out loud, salary is safe, yes, but it's also fixed. It doesn't grow with your hustle. Now lean in for the part that changes everything, commission doesn't cap your potential, it unlocks it.
"So you want a paycheck ... or a future?"
Let's get real. Salary on the other hand though assured, is fixed and thus cannot earn you unlimited income. You know exactly what's coming at the end of the month, and that's the problem. There's no upside. No matter how hard you work, how many calls you make, how many deals you

DEALING WITH PROPERTY BUYERS WHO DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY WANT.
Dealing with property buyers who are unsure of their preferences can be a challenge for real estate professionals. Whether they are first time buyers or seasoned investors, some few individuals enter the market without a clear vision of what they want in a property. Not knowing what they want is not a crime, considering that they don't buy properties everyday and that it's typically a once-in-a-lifetime activity. As a real estate agent, understanding how to navigate this uncertainty is crucial for providing valuable guidance and ultimately securing a successful transaction.
It's interesting to note that a significant majority of property buyers (90%) can easily find the properties they need from the Real Estate Database (RED) without any difficulty. However, there are those (8%) who suffer from technophobia, and another segment (2%) who simply prefer not to engage in the search process. Instead, they opt to call directly, relying on the assistance of an agent to handle the ent
