										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">Avengers End Game and Game of Thrones Season 8 are the new record-breaking cinema releases that have taken the world by storm. Avengers End game was premiered to the world on April 26, but its popularity streak is rising up day by day tickling a rise of Tony Stark from the dead. On the other hand, Game of Thrones shipped new twists since its Season 8 premiere to a point that the Night King seized to exist in just 1 night.</p>
<p>With netizens climbing searching for each and every episode on Game of Thrones once a Sunday shines on the calendar, Avengers end game has received the biggest audience than any of its 11year heroic marvels ever garnered in a period of just days.

<h2>How you can keep in the Avengers/Game of Thrones loop</h2>
<p>If you&#8217;re a cinema fan, you have either heard or watched an Avengers affiliated movie like Ironman, Captain America, Black Panther among others. In a like manner, Game of Thrones might as well not be so new to your smartphone or computer screen. So, if you wish to keep in the heroic loop, then Netflix and Telegram must be your perfect glued sources to watch end game in the best quality possible.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Losing a mobile phone is one of the commonest nightmares several users face proving the point that Phones are more than what they used to be(communication devices), but instead daily companions. All the way from storing personal data, crucial documents and creating beautiful memory lines losing a smartphone these days is equivalent to a very disastrous experience</p>
<p>Time and time again people lose their phones either through theft or misplacements. But what if you could get your phone back or atleast lock it after it has gone missing to protect your personal data, this is what we are partially exploring today</p>
<h3>Using Google Find Your Phone &#8211; for Android phones</h3>
<p>1. Open your device&#8217;s Settings app .<br />
2. Tap Security &amp; Location. (If you don&#8217;t see &#8220;Security &amp; Location,&#8221; tap Google Security.)<br />
3. Tap Find My Device.<br />
4. Turn on Remotely locate this device and Allow remote lock and erase</p>
<h3>In case of a stolen/misplaced Android phone</h3>
<p><strong>1. Open the Find My Device website</strong> Go to<br />
https://www.google.com/android/find in your browser.</p>
<p><strong>2. Log into the website </strong>Enter the email address and password for the Android that you want to find.</p>
<p><strong>3. Select your phone</strong> Click your phone&#8217;s name on the left side of the page. This will prompt Find My Device to begin searching for your Android&#8217;s location.</p>
<p><strong>4. Review your phone&#8217;s location</strong> Once your Android&#8217;s location is determined, it will display on-screen. However, if your android is turned off its location may not appear</p>
<p><strong>5. Lock down your phone if necessary</strong> If you want to prevent your Android&#8217;s data from being recovered, you can lock it down by doing the following:<br />
Click LOCK on the left side of the page<br />
Enter a password if prompted<br />
Enter a message and a recovery phone number if you like<br />
Click LOCK when prompted</p>
<h2>Verdict</h2>
<p>As long as your phone is switched on with a stable internet link, you have full access over the phone using Google&#8217;s web dashboard. Nonetheless, Google&#8217;s security features shrink the possibilities of losing one by shipping in Apple&#8217;s iCloud feature in a bittersweet format.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="dropcap dropcap-circle-outline">T</span>he controversial mobile money tax has rocked Uganda in the recent months has seen a number of Ugandans seemingly not contented with its genesis and 2018 revelation.  A few months back before July 1st 2018, Parliament proposed mobile money tax as a remedy to the country&#8217;s revenue. Well, it was obviously against peoples plies, but favorable to potential bulk payers whereby the 1% tax was revised to 0.5% and it&#8217;s still a story of the past.</p>
<p>During the atrocious voting day following the public outcry concerning the seemingly unfair mobile money taxes in October, 164 MPs voted by roll-call and tally to support the tax, while 124 voted against the controversial tax that had been slashed to <a href="https://techpointmag.com/mobile-money-tax-reduced-0-5-withdraws-only/">0.5% by President Museveni.</a></p>
<figure id="attachment_4120" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-4120" style="width: 900px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Mobile-money.jpg"><img fetchpriority="high" decoding="async" class="wp-image-4120 size-full" src="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Mobile-money.jpg" alt="mobile money in uganda" width="900" height="675" srcset="https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Mobile-money.jpg 900w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Mobile-money-300x225.jpg 300w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Mobile-money-768x576.jpg 768w, https://techpointmag.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/Mobile-money-86x64.jpg 86w" sizes="(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px" /></a><figcaption id="caption-attachment-4120" class="wp-caption-text">The 0.5% mobile money tax bill is a replacement of the 1% policy that has never taken effect up to now (November 2018)</figcaption></figure>
<p>4 months down the road since the <a href="https://techpointmag.com/mobile-money-tax-charges-you-need-to-know/">July 1st tax was welcomed to the 2018/19 budget</a>, mobile money customers have only wondered whether the tax is simply a road block to digital banking or a pending parliament policy. More so, the 0.5% tax dream has never come true as it&#8217;s a nightmare which visited the press for less than a month before countrywide silence about when the bill will come to life. This has brought up some controversy for the implementors also at loggerheads with themselves because of the confusion that has since come in due to the failed targets reach.</p>
<h2>The current state of the 0.5% tax bill</h2>
<p>While President Museveni in July managed to make it a point to inform the general public that the tax levied was not 1% but 0.5% and that it would be altered immediately. Telecoms like MTN and Airtel went ahead to process refunds a few days later in reply to the directive.</p>
<p>A wide percentage of mobile money users weren&#8217;t bothered or notified by the refund policy from telcos. But instead still wonder when the tax will be amended fully or scrapped off the ladder. However, during a recent parliamentary sitting State minister for Finance David Bahati revealed that this whole saga will be soon history after the 0.5% bill is scrutinized through all relevant authorities. Nonetheless, what do you think about the whole mobile money tax dilemma that is followed by <a href="https://techpointmag.com/bypass-social-media-tax-uganda/">OTT tax with a sharper sword</a>?</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: left;">The ride hailing industry in Uganda is slowly moving to the pedal sides of a motorbike dominated sector with Uberboda, taxify boda, Dial jack fastening strides against Safeboda. While we managed to have <a href="https://techpointmag.com/facts-about-safebodas-driver-number-1/">a one on one interview with the first ever Safeboda driver</a>. The Orange camp has launched a new customer giveback promotion dubbed &#8220;I found the one&#8221; driving a new cashless riding experience in Uganda.</p>
<p>As per Safeboda&#8217;s new campaign goals, this could be the gateway to Riding cashless on a motorbike since they are making the process smooth and better with the pioneer Safeboda driver, SB1 Moses Musinguzi. For each and every customer who gets a chance to hook up Moses Namba Emu for a trip around Kampala, the trip will be fully free of charge.</p>
<p>The new Safeboda campaign &#8220;I found the one&#8221; was launched today at the company offices in Kamwokya where the head of customer support Eunice Among commended the new promotion as a bridge with customers on the Yello network to enjoy more for less as she asserted.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;This promotion is intended to drive a better experience for MTN customers and a hassle-free cashless experience for SafeBoda passenger&#8221;</p></blockquote>
<p>Although safeboda<a href="https://techpointmag.com/buy-save-safeboda-credit/"> credit can be easily purchased through the app</a>, MTN&#8217;s new partnership with the boda hailing firm brings a 25% bonus off all trip payments including free access to the app (Zero rated). In addition, MTN pulsers are also gifted with monthly safeboda vouchers for extra trips within Kampala. Nonetheless, as Safeboda&#8217;s driver No1 has started taking his last 50 trips in Kampala, the I found one campaign is just another reply to the ride-hailing squeeze in Uganda.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In a competitive boda hailing squeeze, Safeboda with its Orange branded drivers dominates a wider portion of the competitive chunk. While the service revolutionalized the best travel means in Kampala. It&#8217;s existence in 2018 granted a clear passport to new services like Uberboda, taxify boda and Dial Jack that have not only proved new offers in town but also triggered the orange camp to recruit more than 8000 drivers in less than 4 years. Well, we got a chance to speak to Safeboda&#8217;s very first driver in a phenomenal 411 dialogue</p>
<p>As much as Safeboda&#8217;s Number 1 driver is as scarce as a train in Kampala. He is an experienced professional boda hailing driver you might fail to notice by first sight. However, with his professional deeds, the Safeboda path was always a giantic move he opted to undertake from the start till a time when the Orange drivers have become ultimate rescuers during traffic peak hours. More so, here is our brief interview with the legendary Safeboda driver</p>
<h4>Who is Moses Musinguzi, Tell us a little bit about yourself</h4>
<p><strong>SB01: </strong>My name is Moses Musinguzi. I was born in Kasese, and I am 29 years old. I completed my senior six at City High school in 2009, but couldn’t continue with further studies because university tuition was very high. I could not manage to support myself, so I instead decided to use my savings to start a business, and I later ended up as a bodaboda rider. I am the first ever SafeBoda rider, so feel free to call me SB01</p>
<h4>What were you doing before SafeBoda?</h4>
<p><strong>SB01: </strong>I joined the Boda industry in 2007 as a motorcycle mechanic. I also used to monitor my father’s Bodaboda business; he used to give out motorcycles on lease, and I was in charge of collecting the payment.</p>
<p>I later opened up my own motorcycle spare parts shop. But, in 2013, the business collapsed and that’s how I ended up as a Bodaboda rider with my very first stage at Acacia mall.</p>
<h4>How did you end up with SafeBoda?</h4>
<p><strong>SB01: </strong>Early 2014, I ran into a former client of mine for whom I used to repair motorcycles, who also happened to be the co-founder SafeBoda, Ricky Thomson. He told me about his idea, and I liked it because he told me that it would improve the image of the Bodaboda industry.</p>
<p>He told me that we were going to be provided with two helmets and reflector jackets, and then we would build a community of like-minded riders, gain people’s trust, and make it a premium service.</p>
<p>Having dropped out of school, I wanted to associate with a brand that would make me proud among my former colleagues hence I decided to work with safeboda.</p>
<h4>What has the journey been like for you?</h4>
<p><strong>SB01: </strong>It has been as exciting as it has been challenging.</p>
<p>I joined safeBoda in 2014 as the onboarding officer and was charged with interviewing, training and recruiting riders. In 2015, I became the Driver Technology manager and was helping troubleshoot any problems riders had with using the SafeBoda platform. I later went on to join the driver engagement and support team which is about maintaining riders on the platform. But because the numbers have grown, we split up driver engagement and support and I am now leading the driver support team.</p>
<p>All this time, I have been a part-time SafeBoda rider and also a staff in charge of driver support. But I am finally resting my motorcycle to become a full time employee with my last 50 trips journey stating next week</p>
<p>I will miss being an active Bodaboda rider. I used to love meeting all those amazing people, but I have to specialize now and work on my personal goals. Although I will not be in the field, I will still continue to serve them indirectly.</p>

<h4>What has been your biggest challenges as a SafeBoda rider?</h4>
<p><strong>SB01: </strong>My biggest challenge so far has been harassment from other riders who have not embraced the platform. Mostly the harassment has been verbal. For instance, when we stop at the traffic lights they hurl insults at you as they tell you to get out of their way. They see us as traitors because we offer low fares to customers.</p>
<h4>What have been your biggest achievements as a SafeBoda rider?</h4>
<p><strong>SB01: </strong>With SafeBoda, I have learnt to be more professional. For instance, I have be trained on how to handle customers better, received first aid training and also learnt how to interact with technology.</p>
<p>Because of SafeBoda, I also no longer have to hide from my former school colleagues because I am no longer seen as a failure and this makes me proud.</p>
<p>Finally, I have also managed to construct a fully furnished 3-bedroom house, and I am also paying school fees for my kids.</p>
<h4>Where do you see yourself in 5 years?</h4>
<p><strong>SB01: </strong>I am planning to go back to school and complete university where I will pursue a Bachelor’s degree in data science or project planning and management. My dream is to become a renowned data analyst.</p>
<p>My second goal is to re-establish my old business, which I will run parallel with my new position at SafeBoda.</p>

<h4>What is your advice to  SafeBoda customers and what benefits can they gain by sticking to the service?</h4>
<p><strong>SB01: </strong>Unlike other boda hailing firms you&#8217;ve seen in Kampala, Safeboda is a professional movement with the best drivers to take you all around for less. Additionally, Safeboda credit is a gamechanger that allows you to save more for less. Imagine a situation where you don&#8217;t have any cash, but you have a time-lapse meeting in a few hours? Safeboda credit would save you in that particular moment.</p>
<p>My general advise to Safeboda riders lies in them enjoying more for less with the credit option and also the professional treat by drivers who are always willing to go an extra mile for the best trip satisfaction on a motorbike.</p>

<p>In a cross-section of smartphone users, a wider percentage hold a green light instant messaging platform of&nbsp;<a href="https://techpointmag.com/send-whatsapp-messages-unsaved-phone-numbers/">Whatsapp installed on their devices</a>. However, only 70% of these have the actual app and the remaining 30% either rely on Whatsapp business or popular mods available on the internet.</p>
