Dr Solomon Kimera: Ugandan TikToker and His Trending Concerns

You know, people love a good laugh, and as the line goes “In Uganda you are serious alone.” So, who doesn’t like a sweet and loud laugh or two? Some random comic doctor has been giving it to us on X and TikTok.

Dr Solomon Kimera, a TikTok sensation with over 1.6M followers, popular for his Ayebo Ayebaba challenge, who we can’t really verify if he is a real medical practitioner or dentist as his profile suggests, has recently gone on a rampage about Ugandan products, and the strange way things are done nowadays, humorously complaining about their many shortcomings that we otherwise might have ignored. And trust Ugandans to perpetuate the fun, and get lost in it.

He posted, “Yoghurt is sold with straws instead of spoons! What happens to the yoghurt that remains down inside the tin which the straw can’t scoop out?” Come to think of it. Are we being fleeced?

Now countless TikTok and X users have jumped on the trend, with some of the funniest posts, highlighting the most ridiculous things that just don’t add up—things you’ve probably never even thought about, I’m sure.
