An (incomplete) map of what motorcycle-taxis are called across the continent. You've all heard of boda bodas and moto-taxis, but did you know about bendskins and Jakartas?

Play the Boda Life game, based on the Boda Board Game!

Not gonna lie, seeing someone use AI to make a copycat of something I had done does really hit home 😂 everything is cheapened now.
The difference between the two surprised me recently.
The Kenyan side is spread out, while the Ugandan side is concentrated in a town.
The Kenyan side has also done better at keeping trees, making it look less developed from the satellite perspective.
William Henry Sheppard, a black American missionary in the DRC in the 1890s who heroically spoke out strongly against King Leopold's atrocities (and was taken to court for it!), rode what may have been the first bicycle in the country 🚲😎💪
Good news for Kampala folks - we have copies of the Boda Board Game available in town!
DM me or WhatsApp on +254769575811 and I can organize to get you your copy of boda madness 🎲🏍️
Just spoke with a boda association leader who told me that the police used to harass members just to get tea, so he decided to cut out the middleman and started giving cops a monthly payment so that they stop harassing his guys 😭😂😭😂
When @MosesNambaEmu went to boda board game jail and began regretting not buying his helmet and insurance 😂
Change of venue for tomorrow's launch of the Boda Board Game - it will be at Endiro Nakasero on Kintu road. Come one, come all!
It's happening - we're having the Kampala launch of the Boda Board Game this Sunday at Kardamom and Koffee!
If you're around, come through to play and grab yours!
If you have old glass bottles in Nairobi, I highly recommend giving them to Elvaso (you can find on Insta) - they can cut them and etch them and do a beautiful job at it for a great price!
