The Best Website in Uganda

Allow me to introduce “the Best Website in Uganda”, at least according to AikoGraphics. I actually saw it in 2007 before it was published on the internet because it was designed by a former schoolmate of mine (at Makerere College School 2001-2) while he worked for Ses Jolies Pieces (a Multimedia company 2 floors above Kenjoy supermarket in Bukoto). Simon Wamahe was not so hysterical or vocal at Macos but seemed to have an intelligent aura around him. He focused on his Science subject combination without showing off but deep inside him was brewing a shining creative genius. At Kyambogo University 2003-6, he studied alongside other Information Technology mavericks namely Joseph Mutuugu (my SMACK Old Boy who now runs his own internet cafĂ©) and Kasasa (also from Macos and working on big I.T projects in the city). Check out www.ntvuganda.co.ug and tell me what you think. It is too good to be Ugandan, someone may say but Simon says, “All you need is creativity…” Now with his new personal company in Nakulabye called “Creations Ltd” (I actually recommended that he plays with the name Kr8tions Ltd), Uganda should brace itself for High Definition stuff like the Fox Network’s website. Before this, there was a website you couldn’t believe, probably made to book the URL but nonetheless it did not have a bad home page. Its replacement though is several light years ahead.
