8. UNENDING LIFE  the Term Unending Life Refers to Eternity Which Means Everlasting Life
8. UNENDING LIFE The term unending life refers to eternity which means everlasting life. Therefore, unending life means that people continue to live in another form even after their death. After death the body decomposes but the soul continues to live because it goes to live in another world (spiritual world) Death is a transition from the physical world(life) to a spiritual world. To some people death is un kind and taken to be a curse while to others death is positive and a route to eternal happiness. To scientists, death is the end of life while in religion it is a process to another life. People believe that the dead go to hell or heaven depending on how they have lived on earth. Young people think less about death until someone close to them dies. Many people question the existence of God and the life to come. This is due to scientific theories which oppose the existence of God. So, they reject issues about life after death basing on what they see, hear and what they learn. REASONS FOR DOUBTING LIFE AFTER DEATH. Confusing explanation given by different religions; Some people say that life after death is just a religious theory explained by different religions. Each religion has its own way of explaining this theory which brings doubt among people. It contradicts with science; Science proves that death is the end of everything and that is why the educated have opposed life after death. Scientific research has shown that life stops when a person dies. Modernity declares it ancient; Modern society looks at believing in eternal life as an outdated fact of the ancient people who lacked the scientific approach towards life.

Éphémérides Grandslacs Semaine Du 1 Au 7 Février 2010
Éphémérides GrandsLacs Semaine du 1 au 7 février 2010 OUGANDA 1. Justice, Droits de l’homme… (OUG_1) AFP – 4/2 Un journaliste ougandais a été arrêté mercredi et inculpé de diffamation pour avoir comparé le régime du président Yoweri Museveni à la dictature de Ferdinand Marcos aux Philippines, a indiqué son avocat. Angelo Izama, chroniqueur politique pour le quotidien indépendant Daily Monitor, est l'auteur d'un texte publié le 20 décembre dans les colonnes du Monitor. "Il s'agissait d'un commentaire, c'était une analyse hypothétique", a expliqué à l'AFP l'avocate du journal, Anne Abeja-Muhwezi. Cette arrestation "s'explique par la préparation des élections présidentielle et parlementaires" de 2011. "Le gouvernement veut museler les journalistes critiques", a-t-elle estimé. Le 20 décembre également, M. Izama avait écrit un article en une du journal affirmant que le gouvernement ougandais entraînait une unité paramilitaire en vue des élections générales de 2011. Les autorités ont protesté contre cet article, selon le rédacteur en chef du Monitor, Daniel Kalinaki. M. Izama a également été interrogé pour cet article, mais l'accusation de diffamation n'a été retenue que pour la comparaison avec le régime Marcos. "Essayons-nous d'alimenter des violences politiques? Absolument pas. Devons-nous rester silencieux? Nous pensons qu'il doit y avoir un débat public dans ce pays pour éviter ces violences politiques", a commenté M. Kalinaki. Plusieurs autres journalistes du Daily Monitor sont actuellement poursuivis dans le cadre de différentes procédures, a-t-elle précisé. (OUG_2) Reuters – 4/2 U.S. President Barack Obama on Thursday denounced as "odious" a proposed anti-gay law in Uganda that has drawn international condemnation.

Foreign Direct Investment (Fdi) and Investment Opportunities in Uganda
International Journal of Economics, Commerce and Research (IJECR) ISSN (P): 2250-0006; ISSN (E): 2319-4472 Vol. 3, Issue 5, Dec 2013, 41-56 © TJPRC Pvt. Ltd. FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT (FDI) AND INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES IN UGANDA CHARLES C. AJAEGBU College of Higher Degrees and Research, Kampala International University, Kampala, Uganda ABSTRACT This study investigated the existence of investment opportunities in Uganda that could be exploited through Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to the mutual benefits of the foreign investors and the host economy. It used mostly secondary data and interviews on investments in Uganda. Analysis was qualitative. The findings showed that there exists enormous investment opportunities in Uganda in the areas of agribusiness, fisheries, forestry, manufacturing, mining, infrastructure, financial services, tourism, printing and publishing, education, information and communication technology (ICT) and the newly found oil. While some of these sectors have been classified as priority sectors, including agriculture, information and communication technology, energy, health, education, mining and services, such as tourism and finance; foreign investors were restricted from participation in some. The Investment Code Act, 1991, specifically excluded foreign investors from participation in agribusinesses which are so critical to Uganda, and which contribute about 40% to the country’s GDP. Opportunities notwithstanding, various motives were discovered to influence the investment decisions of Trans National Corporations (TNCs), and these include market, efficiency, resource, asset-creation and assigned state policies. However, in the case of Uganda, the chief determinants of inward FDI were discovered to be the economic considerations of the expanding market size, abundant natural resources, and the stable and deregulated economic policies of the government.
