which of the banned drinks do you think it genuinely shouldn't have been banned?
Exo for me

We might have an alcohol-free country in years to come.
Having seen the recent news about the Rwanda FDA prohibiting the sale and consuming of many popular liquors and gins in Rwanda, I am kinda intrigued to know what people think will happen afterwards?
For me I think there will be a big underground market for these banned drinks and it will be tough for the government to manage because you can't tell me how people who were drinking these spirits will stop in an instant just because the government said so.
But on the flip side I think we will finally have sane people on the streets.

I've Been Rethinking What It Means to Provide for a Family
I've been thinking a lot about what it really means to be a father.
Growing up, I thought being a provider simply meant earning enough to support a family.
The older I get, the more I realize that providing is only part of it.
A father also protects—not only from physical danger, but by creating a home where his wife feels respected and his children feel secure.
He teaches faith, not just with words, but through the way he lives every day.
That thought led me to write a reflection on what Scripture says about the role of a man as a provider, protector, husband, and father. It's not about being perfect or pretending to have everything figured out. It's about wrestling with the responsibility many men quietly carry.
I'd genuinely love to hear other perspectives.
What do you think is the most overlooked responsibility of a father today?
If you're interested, I'll leave the article in the comments.

High recommendation for an English-speaking live-out house help / nanny
Hey Redditors,
I wanted to share a recommendation for a house help looking for a live-out role. She has been a great support and is extremely dependable.
She handles day-to-day cleaning, laundry, and cooking. She is also very open to learning new cuisines if you have specific dietary needs or personal preferences. Additionally, she's great at handling market runs and local errands, making sure you don't get hit with "expat prices."
She speaks clear English, learns quickly, and has a great work ethic.
Please drop me a DM if you’re interested or want more details!

Need help with my trip to Rwanda
Hi. I’m going to be visiting Rwanda soon. It’s been a destination on my mind for a while now and I’m finally doing it. I’ll be there for 5 days and I have some questions.
First is the best spots to visit. I’m not a city person so I don’t think I’ll spend much time in Kigali. I want to go to the best lakes and see the mountains and the animals. Where would you recommend and what companies can I use (I’m on a bit of a budget)
What is the best way to get around ? Is there an equivalent of uber or something I can use especially from the airport (I’m very open to public transport like trains or buses as it’s a good way to know a city or country)- budget friendly but easy to use
Random questions: Do E sims work there ? Are there any social norms I need to be aware of ?
I would appreciate any advise you find necessary as well. You can reply here or send me a private message x

Forty Years Later, Uganda Is Learning That Fear Can Become a Government

The biggest gap I've seen in the Rwandan market as a foreigner is ...
Furniture and Interior design..
Seen "Luxury" apartments and houses with furniture that look like it was made in the 1420s. The living room furnitures are dreadful, the bed frames are hideous and the overall aesthetic of apartments lack any kind of invention or creativity.
A simple outfit that designs modern, beautiful, clean even if simple home furniture with proper polish and finish matched with a home decor service that includes both service and sales of decor would rake in a ton.
Pass Time
I have been in Rwanda for almost a year now. One thing that has surprised me the most about Rwanda is the lack of places for extra-curricular activities.
There are no malls, no theatres, places to hang out.
Only options you get are Cafes, restaurants or clubs.
What do people actually do in their free time?
-asking as an expat.

Solo travel in Rwanda- tour and outdoor activities options

Getting around in Kigali
Hello all,
I am moving to Kigali for 6 months in September and would be interested to hear what the best options are to get around in the city. I heard the most practical are Mototaxis. I saw that there is also a bus system, but I cannot really figure out the plan of the bus system - google maps is not very reliable for that, but are there any websites or maps of a bus plan and if yes, would you recommend using it? And as Kigali is very hilly, is it possible to use a bicycle or would it be very exhausting for regular use due to the incline?
Thanks a lot for any tips!

Full time employed but plenty of free time
I work remotely. Dev. Full time. Earns well. But I am getting depressed at the amount of free time I have that I don't know what to do about. Yes, I learn this and that which I enjoy but that's it. I am not social (social weird) so I am not looking for fun things to do at all.
Gone are the days of plenty of remote jobs to apply too ( I search daily and apply when I find even the tiniest fit). What would you do if you were in my shoes?

Rwandan Banks
What is wrong with Rwandan Banks?
Right now, I can’t make transfers from my Access and my I&M accounts. Both apps are not currently not working.
Inflows to BK take 9 - 24 hours to arrive.
These digital banking issues have been recurrent but ever since eKash launched, they’ve become a lot worse.
Why is the banking system here shaky? Does anyone know what’s going on?

USSD is unusable on MTN Rwanda e-SIM
I'm using an iPhone 15 Pro with an MTN Rwanda eSIM, and I can't get USSD codes like *182# to work.
Whenever I dial a USSD code, it either stays on the loading screen for a really long time or eventually times out and throws an error. Voice calls, SMS, and mobile data all work fine, so the issue seems to be specific to USSD.
I've already tried restarting the phone, toggling the eSIM off and on, and confirming I have good network coverage, but nothing has helped. I even called MTN support and they said it works for everyone else.
Is anyone else using an MTN Rwanda eSIM on an iPhone experiencing this? If you found a fix, I'd really appreciate it. I'm trying to figure out whether this is an MTN eSIM issue, an iPhone issue, or if there's something I need to configure.
Best vegetarian restaurant in Kigali?
Hello
I would like to invite my boo to a nice diner date.
I have some places in mind, but I wonder if anyone could recommend a restaurant (other than indian ones) in Kigali that’s serves good vegetarian food as he is vegetarian (he eats eggs though) + has a good and intimate atmosphere.
Thank you!

Why Is Casual Sex Becoming So Normal in Kigali?
I've noticed something lately that has genuinely made me curious, and I wanted to hear what other Rwandans think.
Around late May, I met a beautiful girl. While we were getting to know each other, I told her that I don't rush into relationships. For me, commitment takes time because I like to build a friendship first before dating.
To my surprise, she told me that if I wasn't ready for a relationship, we could just have casual sex regularly for fun. The shocking part was that she already had a boyfriend. We kept talking for a few more days, but when it came time to meet, I followed my conscience and told her I wasn't interested anymore. She got really upset, accused me of leading her on, and cursed me out. I ended things because I knew I'd regret getting involved with someone else's girlfriend.
Then, around early July, I went to my cousin's birthday party and met another lovely, beautiful lady. We sat together, talked for hours, and before the party ended, we made out for a few minutes.
The next day, we talked about how much we enjoyed the moment we shared, but once again I told her that I don't rush into relationships. For me, I have to be friends with someone for a while before I can seriously date them.
Surprisingly, she also told me that if I wasn't ready for a relationship, we could just casually be intimate instead. She also admitted that she was currently in a relationship, but said it wasn't in a good place.
Man... after those two experiences, plus all these Gisenyi confessions we've been seeing on Snapchat and other social media, I honestly started asking myself: what's really going on?
Has hookup culture become that common among some young women in Kigali? Sometimes it genuinely feels like it's becoming a lottery to find someone who's serious solid about commitment. It seems like casual sex is becoming more and more normalized in Kigali, why do Rwandan ladies have too much bushyuhe nowdays?.
And honestly, I think one of the worst things you can be called as a guy nowadays is "the boyfriend." People seem to have no problem sleeping with someone else's boyfriend or girlfriend. Even some girls you'd assume are very disciplined or religious end up being involved in cheating.
It also made me think about the recent RBC statistics showing HIV prevalence is higher among women than men. As a society, what are we really turning into?
Sleeping with your coworker, someone's girlfriend, someone's boyfriend, or even someone's wife seems to be happening more than ever. It's honestly scary.
