Many countries across the world including Uganda tap peoples’ phones for security reasons.

Uganda government taps phones of Ugandans they suspect to be against president Museveni’s government.

There are two types of phone taps carried out in Uganda: Trap and trace.

In this one the state orders telecommunication companies to produce a log showing what numbers were called, and the dates, times and durations of the calls.

The second type is intercepts the content of the call. There are thousands of trap and trace interceptions vs hundreds of content interceptions each year.

One may argue that it is one of the reasons why government wants every single line positively identified to some one’s name, though not registering may not be a good decision you can think of, don’t be intimidated they may have an easier task in tracing their taps but there is always a solution to any thing.

1. Lack of intimacy. This doesn’t always have to be in the form of sex. It can be a decline of touching, cuddling, holding hands or kissing.
2. He cheated on his old girlfriends. If you can talk to some of his old girlfriends, by all means, do it. However, make sure to ask his ex-girlfriends in a kind and calm manner so they do not become defensive. A cheating boyfriend will usually repeat their behavior with their next girlfriend.

3. He never answers his cell phone around you. A way to tell if your boyfriend is cheating is if he always turns his ringer off around you or walks out of hearing distance from you. These are big big red flags he may be cheating. If he receives calls at odd hours or speaks on the phone in a strange manner could also be signs he is cheating.

4. He is irritable or criticizes you more. If your boyfriend’s behavior suddenly changes, there is a possibility that he may be finding fault with you in order to justify his cheating in his mind. That way your cheating boyfriend can say you ‘drove’ him away because of your supposed faults. The opposite of this behavior is being overly nice, giving gifts and being lovey-dovey because he wants to keep his cake (you) and eat it too (his other girlfriend).

5.He does not introduce you to his friends. This might be because he already has a girlfriend they know about, or it might be because he knows they will not be able to keep his secrets. Either way, he will always have some reason why you cannot meet them.

6.All of your dates and other activities are planned around his schedule. He decides when you do anything. If you suggest something or casually drop by his place (if he even tells you where his place is), you are likely to get some flimsy excuse. If it seems like he is scheduling you around his other women, he probably is.

7. On the Phone and Computer All the time: If you husband is starting to spend more and more time on the phone and internet without any specific reason, then star to see if he is doing something wrong. These days people can cheat on their wives that easy with the internet online dating and phone sex available. See if he is trying to find online date.

8. More and More Anger: Is he getting angry easier than ever? It could be that he is not interested in you anymore and found someone else. Now he is showing his anger on you because he could not get in touch with that women because he considers you as a road block. He might be desperate to date the other women. Irritation might be a big sign that you might not want to ignore.

9.He changes his physical appearance.A cheating man usually starts buying new clothes, gets a new hair style or begins working out because he wants to be attractive to the other woman in his life besides you.

10. He avoids you. A big sign of a cheating boyfriend is when he makes up all sorts of excuses as to why he can’t be with you because he’s spending time with his ‘other’ girlfriend. If he has to work late, stay after school, is always with his friend’s or co-workers more than usual, these could be the excuses your boyfriend is using to cover up his cheating ways.

Telephone usage is almost a characteristic of most people in the world especially those in urban centres, towns, municipalities, wards, statehouse, armies, police offices, interpol offices, intelligence and those people working in international bodies like United Nations, African Union, Commonwealth head offices, and African Union among others.

In some countries like Uganda, a person uses a phone to call someone who is stationed a few metres away from him/her. But the most shocking thing is that phone use exposes brain to cancer.

A recent study done by IARC classified radiofrequency electromagnetic fields, which are present in mobile phones, has possibly carcinogenic to humans. Any substance or radiation that is an agent directly involved in causing cancer. Phone use increases the risks of aglioma, a migrant type of brain cancer associated with  sireless phone use.

The researchers say that aglioma is a type of brain cancer which starts in the brain or spine.
