When one door closes, another opens: Closed border is a blessing in disguise
Uganda and Rwanda are now celebrating their first anniversary of the closed border, but those who like the newly married girl forgot about the new order were not so lucky as to pick the nearest boda boda back home. They were shot dead across the border. ILLUSTRATION | JOHN NYAGA | NMG
Workmates of a newly married girl can tease her for some days that on leaving office, she tends to forget and take her usual bus home, only to remember that it is the wrong bus after alighting at her parent’s home stage.
At that point, she can choose to drop in at her parents’ and pretend she had intended to pay them a surprise visit before going to her home. Or she can quickly grab a boda boda (motorcycle taxi) and rush home to her husband, without disclosing her secret mistake to anybody.
