Always expect the unexpected, so we were told as soon as adulthood kicked in. But, I don’t think there’s anything that would have prepared us (Ugandans) for the surprise bomb that Solomon Kampala Kyagulanyi, son to music star, turned politician, Bobi Wine, real name Robert Kyagulanyi Sentamu dropped on us.
On Thursday 14th August 2025, the US based Ugandan student cum athlete took the internet by storm when he shared photos of his proposal on Instagram with Mexican girlfriend Helen Jacquez.
A little too soon! some may have obviously thought to themselves given that he is only 19, but with love, if you have the conviction that you have found the one, then go for it. And Solomon has gone for it.
There’s something I particularly find attractive about young love, teenage love, that’s often defined by a cocoon of innocence with a blend of raw emotions that comes with opening one’s soul to another.
Here at Mikolo, we can only say congratulations. We wish the young couple the ultimate success in their love journey.
