Gordon Wavamunno

"“Have a vision of what you want to be and where you want to be; and without a goal, it is difficult to score,”"

"“I have never been in any corruption scandal, but don’t I need money,”"

"“Never rely on your parents and lecturers to get jobs for you after campus, instead ask them to be your referees when applying for jobs”"

"“Don’t look for the next opportunity, the one you have in hand is the opportunity,”"

"If you fail to get the job you are qualified to do, take up any job available. I have always met masters’ graduates in developed countries working in hotels as waiters and some with PhDs but working as drivers. The trend in Uganda is totally different and students need to change their mindset,"

"“Gordon, I know you have been admitted to Mbarara High School, but I don’t know whether this is the right thing to do. As you know, I am getting on in years and I can no longer manage all these businesses on my own. I want one of you to join me in business. I have always known that you have a knack for business. What do you think?”"

"“Why are you wasting people’s precious time? We have paid millions to come and enjoy ourselves and get rid of our stress but you are here extorting us.”"

"But because government officials prefer buying foreign-made vehicles, we could not continue manufacturing...we lost market, says Mr.Wavamunno."

"Even this market of used vehicles is dominated by foreigners ... the money Ugandans spend on these vehicles goes outside the country, not invested here."

"Giving cash to fresh graduates is dangerous...someone will buy shoes, pay rent...and the money will be finished even before he starts the business."

"You let go what cannot continue"
