My neighbour’s goats keep sneaking into my garden and munching on my vegetables. The other day, they devoured all my cabbages. I asked the owner to compensate me for the damages, but he claimed my fence was so weak that even a toddler could knock it over. How can he not see that the goats […]

I have tried contacting […]

Last week, I decided to stroll around the neighbourhood while openly carrying a legally owned and registered firearm. I wandered about and eventually entered a bar for some refreshments.

I was travelling on a flight operated by an airline in Tanzania. During the flight, a crew member made derogatory comments about my body size, which is admittedly big, causing me significant distress.

I recently heard a lawyer friend mention the phrase ‘opening pandora’s box’ in a legal discussion.

Let us start with the […]

I want to undergo intensive beauty treatment, including cosmetic procedures on the face, to enhance my beauty.

I am married to a wealthy businessman, but he keeps all his property under his mother’s name. I don’t have any issues with this arrangement since I own property myself. However, I am concerned that this might not be a good idea, especially if our marriage does not work out and we get a divorce. […]

I can see that all public offices have pictures of the head of state. Further, the pictures are with another picture of the father of the nation Mwalimu Julius Nyerere.
