THE COST OF LIES

By Nankwanga Eunice  Kasirye

Liars don't have a life of their own, they trade self confidence for emptiness .Everyone lie you tell, comes with emptiness, takes away self esteem, steals your freedom of expression and turns you into a fool, a victim of your own lies.
Lying is self enslavement, takes away your true personality turning you into an ambiguous low esteem person.
The truth you tell immediately becomes part of your past, every lie you tell builds up burdens into your future-it makes you a miserable person, never sure of yourself but always thinking of the next lie to keep the previous lie_what a life!
My personal standards are hinged on the belief that no one has a right to take away my freedom of self-worth by making me turn into a virtual personality to attain approval _Never!
I tell the truth for my self not for the recipient of information...
I am who I am, if you don't approve of the true me then you aren't looking for me in any form of dealings, good for both of us to keep moving until we encounter with who we exactly want to deal with-it helps live a life of not having to work hard to impress..it leaves you with a few but genuine persons to deal with
According to Carl Pickhards, Liars fool themselves, what begins as lying to others ends up as lying to themselves as they lose track of what really happened&come to believe some of the untruths they have told...
Abraham Lincoln said-No man has a good enough memory to make a successful Liar
Every lie is two lies — the lie we tell others and the lie we tell ourselves to justify it.Robert Brault.
Lies Tax Your Brain, Cause Stress, and Harm Your Body....it requires a lot of effort, yet the truth simply remembers what happens. When you lie you have to consider what you're trying to hide, figure out a believable version of the opposite, give a convincing performance to sell that lie, and then remember it always so you never caught_Adam Dachis
Lying makes you narrow minded to think that the person you keep lying to has a weak memory to keep track of your uncoordinated statements
You don't have to trade your pride with fiction -It is so tasking to struggle between the real you and the person the lies have made you to be
The greatest advantage of speaking the truth is that you don’t have to remember what you said.

DEFENDING THE DEFENDERS: ZAMZAM DARES DEATH TO FIGHT FOR DARFUR’S FORGOTTEN LIVES

  By Nankwanga Eunice Kasirye A Mother Caught in Endless Conflict ZA mZam Mohammed Khater is not just a journalist; she is a relentless warrior against the shadows of war that have plagued Darfur for over two decades. At 38, she is a single mother of two—a 14-year-old son and an 18-year-old daughter—trapped in a land where fear dictates every sunrise and sorrow lingers in the air like an unshakable curse. Zamzam inspects one of the homes burnt down in 2019  She has seen the unspeakable. Massacres that leave villages lifeless, women brutalized beyond recognition, children reduced to silent witnesses of carnage. She has fled through the darkness, gripping her children’s hands as gunfire echoed behind them, the night air thick with terror. And yet, through it all, she dares to dream. " I dream of a Sudan where my children wake up to the sound of birds, not bombs. Where a mother can send her daughter to school without fearing she may never return." — ZamZam, her voice trem...

DEFENDING THE DEFENDERS:YVONNE MOKA'S CHILLING EXPERIENCE WHILE REPORTING VAWG

By Nankwanga Eunice Kasirye  Yvonne Moka never imagined that reporting on femicide and violence against women and girls (VAWG) would mean reliving her own nightmares. Each story she tells is not just a battle for justice but also a fight for her own sanity. In a chilling interview, she reveals the haunting weight of being both a journalist and a survivor. Yvonne Moka’s Fight for Justice Begins with a Tear-Stained Story Yvonne Moka, a passionate social justice journalist from Botswana, never anticipated that her first major social justice story would be the one that shattered her heart. "My home girl, we grew up together. We shared everything—church, music, village life. She was like my sister. When I left for university, she stayed behind. Over time, she began dating a gangster from the village, and I was not pleased," Moka recalls. "But she made her choices. Then, one fateful day, I received a call from her neighbor: ‘She’s dead. The boyfriend has killed her.’"...

DEFENDING THE DEFENDERS: TURNING THE MICROPHONE TO FEMALE JOURNALISTS REPORTING VAWG

By Nankwanga Eunice Kasirye  Female journalists covering violence against women and girls are not just exposing injustice—they are risking their own safety. The very violence they report on is the same violence that threatens them. According to the United Nations, 85,000 women and girls were intentionally killed in 2023, with 51,100 murdered by an intimate partner or family member. This translates to 140 women and girls killed daily—one every ten minutes. Additionally, 736 million women worldwide have experienced physical or sexual violence at least once in their lives, with 30% of women aged 15 and older reporting such experiences. Beyond physical violence, female journalists frequently face sexual harassment, cyber threats, and targeted attacks. A 2022 UNESCO report revealed that 73% of women journalists globally have experienced online violence, with 20% facing real-world attacks linked to their work. These threats not only compromise their safety but also have severe psycho...
