"Let him abandon the course at KYU and start carrying luggage at Arua park. Even after studying, there are no jobs."

@Maggie Nampijja added:

"I am glad he is still alive. May the parents receive him calmly and speak to him well into serious academics."

@Musa Lemeri wrote:

"He thought he could make a profit from the tuition of other non-educational programs but he ended up in trouble. Let them forgive him."
