    Isn't it interesting that foreigners were more interested in the stanbic shares? How do you explain the fact that the number of foreign individual applicants exceeded that of Ugandan applicants? Is it because Ugandans don't have disposable incomes/capital to invest or are they just ignorant and do not yet understand the whole concept of shares and trading?

Uganda: gifted but not competitive

-
By James Abola The person or people who came up with the slogan "Uganda, gifted by nature" could not have come up with a better phrase. How else could you describe a country that has oil deposits, is home to a variety of animals and plants - some so rare that they can only be viewed from Uganda? Then there natural gifts like Uganda being the source of the River Nile, the wonderful climate that spans most of the country, the fertile soils and many other attributes. The renowned author and speaker, Brian Tracy says that humans are by nature lazy, greedy, ambitious, selfish, ignorant and vain. It is testament to human nature that despite the incredible gifts that nature has bestowed upon the country, many Ugandans continue in an existence of deprivation characterised by illiteracy, hunger, sickness and insecurity.

From the teacher's heart by Joy Mirembe Abola

I have been working with young people in what we call “The Money Headstart” course for over 3 years. This was an endeavour that I took on quite reluctantly because sometime I really was not convinced there was much impact on the children. A number of incidents however made me change my mind and have seen me take this noble activity to another level. I met a mother who commented that whatever I had instilled in her daughter was incomparable and that even at high school her daughter was not the same person. She was not only responsible but very industrious with regard to money. Then I met a father whose twins had only been in my care for a few weeks. He told me his boy and girl now put him to task to be more accountable for the family resources something he found very useful though challenging at the same time. The cream on the cake was when I observed my 5year old boy hanging onto every word his dear teacher said. At that point I realized that as the adult and mentor for these young
