Ask Uncle Issa Question: I did my secondary school exams last year. The results are now out. My grades did not reflect all my efforts. I had plans to enrol in an engineering course at a good college. But now that seems like a pipe dream. I don’t know how else I will become an engineer. My eyes are still wet from days of crying over it.

Ask uncle Issa Questions: I have been in a relationship on and off with a married man for 10 years. We even have a six-year son but he has only seen the boy about five times. When he feels like, he sends KS. 5000 which could be after three months. Apart from that, he has never done anything for the baby, and even did not pay the local clinic when I delivered. He doesn’t care what his son eats, whether he has any health needs or whether he even goes to school. He goes to the local public school in my estate because I cannot afford to take him to a private academy.  His children by his wife on the other hand, attend expensive private school. I have tried to at least get help from him with schoo...

Ask Uncle Issa Question: in the course of my studies, I fell in love and got a son. However, that relationship was doomed and my girlfriend left with the baby. I covered all the cost and to this day I still contribute to the child’s needs willingly. But my ex has ensured that I do not see the child or speak to him even by phone. I suffer from her insults every time I try to convince her to let me speak to my son. I last set my eyes on him over six years ago, yet the boy is now eight-years-old. But she does not hesitate to call when she’s in need, which I translated as a need for my son. Since I only want the best for him, I usually send the money that she asks for. When I fall in love with another girl, she uncannily finds out and even gets her number. She starts to call my girlfriend, insults her and tells her a lot of lies about me. Eventually she gives the girl an ultimatum-To leave me or have to face her. Several girls have given up and left me. Even three girls that I was eng...

Dear Uncle Issa, My friend has a huge head but zero brainpower. I’m an artist, so naturally, I believe I am a right-brained genius. My creativity is off the charts! But then there’s my friend—he has a massive head, yet somehow, I’ve outperformed him in every school subject. Shouldn’t his big brain mean he’s a genius? Does my artistic brain help me remember things better than his oversized but seemingly useless one? And while we're at it, what exactly does the brain do other than make me ask weird questions? Explain this mystery before I start measuring people’s heads to predict their intelligence! Unc...
