Forget what she says and watch what she doesn’t. These are some signs she doesn’t love you even when she says she does.

{{1. There is nothing extra}}

Love isn’t an ordinary emotion; it always creates something extra. But a woman who pretends to love you wouldn’t bring anything extra; she’s only about talks but brings nothing as regards action.

{{2. She leaves everything for you}}

When in a relationship with a woman who says she loves you but acts otherwise, you would notice that you do everything; from communication, to love and affection, to care, to being supportive — it’s all on you, and what do you get in return?

{{3. She’s emotionally disconnected}}

With love comes an emotional connection between two hearts; it can’t be faked, it’s either there or it isn’t. A woman who’s emotionally disconnected from you but claims to love you is only living a life of pretence.

{{4. She’s here and there}}

Love is constant; it comes to fore every day. But a woman whose love isn’t genuine would claim to love you today but won’t show anything tomorrow. Her feelings for you are inconsistent.

{{5. She always has an excuse}}

With such a woman, there’s usually an excuse for everything. She gives an excuse for why she wasn’t there for you, an excuse for why things aren’t working, and an excuse for why she isn’t all that loving. There is just an excuse for everything.

{{6. She wants so much from you and offers little in return}}

A woman like this would ask for so much from you but offer very little in return. She would want your world but won’t give hers; she would want you to be there for her always but won’t be there for you. The work and commitment of the relationship would heavily lie on your shoulders.

{{7. The relationship isn’t a priority to her}}

When you value something, it becomes a priority to you; whether it’s a material thing or immaterial, it would become a priority to you. A woman who doesn’t really love you wouldn’t make the relationship a priority to her, and don’t be surprised when irrelevant things win her heart over the relationship.

{{8. She’s too selfish}}

A woman who doesn’t really love you would be selfish towards you and the relationship. She would want the relationship to be about her, always. She would be self-centred and try to make the relationship revolve around her.

{{9. She flirts with other men }}

A woman who doesn’t really love you would flirt with other men and give you silly reasons why you shouldn’t be offended. She just doesn’t take the relationship serious, or your feelings and emotions.

The eye-catching houses are located in Kibiraro I Village, Nyarutarama cell, Remera Sector of Gasabo District in Kigali City.

Every house has three bedrooms with enough space with a bathroom and toilet with a balcony outside, a sitting room, dining room, and a storeroom. They have a parking lot which can accommodate two or three cars, a big compound with gardens and annexes with a restroom.

Despite the prettiness of the houses, each house only costs $95,000 (about Rwf80 million) which can be paid in installments with an initial deposit of 20% in a ten year period via the Bank of Africa.

The Head LT Global Ltd, Legese Tafese told IGIHE that he did not build the houses of merely aiming at getting the profit but helping Rwandans live in good houses at affordable cost.

“These houses are low-priced and were constructed following international housing standards. They are nice houses every dweller of Kigali City would wish to live,” he said.
Eight houses were built in the first phase and some have been bought.

The figures were revealed by the Ministry of Health on Sunday during the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF) end of year meeting that brought together members of the Inkotanyi in the Eastern Province.

Speaking to participants during the meeting, Rwanda’s Chief Gender Monitor, Rose Rwabuhihi said that statistics by the Ministry of Health indicate that 3375 girls aged between 15 and 19 years were impregnated and delivered children in the first six months of the year 2018.

A total of 737 girls were from Gatsibo District counting most pregnancies and 251 from Rwamagana; with the smallest number.

Rwabuhihi urged RPF members to stand up all together and fight the unwanted pregnancies among teenage girls.

The Governor of the Eastern Province, Fred Mufulukye said the unwanted pregnancies in teenagers increase with abuse of drugs and irresponsible families that don’t care for their children.

“Our analysis reveals that drugs and the fact that children are not cared for by their families are reasons why teen pregnancies keep increasing. We are going to build the Village’s cultural school ‘Itorero ry’Umudugudu’ which will help us identify problems within families and after which we will partner to resolve them as RPF Inkotanyi party members,” Mufulukye said.

The Commissioner in charge of Agriculture and Rural Development in RPF, Francine Tumusiime, who represented RPF Secretary General at the meeting, urged RPF members to work together in fighting malnutrition and the violence faced by girls which are among challenges to Rwanda’s national development.

After the meeting, members of the RPF in Eastern Province resolved to work together in fighting the stunting among children, the gender based violence and family conflicts through Rwandan cultural values set to be enhanced through the ‘village’s cultural schools’.

They are not badly arguing nor are they engaging in quarrels. It is rather a constructive community debate that brings together about 200 people in Gicumbi District’s Kaniga Sector close to the Ugandan border.

Held at the sector’s offices this Tuesday afternoon, the debate was one of the regular community events the journalists network PAX PRESS organises countrywide in collaboration with different partners on various issues. Funded by the rights-based program of the German Development Cooperation (GIZ), citizens discussed briefly the new law governing family relationship.

The amended Persons and Family Bill passed in August 2016 with the main change being the fact that now both spouses – man and woman – are jointly responsible for the management of the household, including moral and material support as well as its maintenance. “One of the spouses performs those duties alone, if the other spouse is unable to do so. In case of a disagreement, competent authorities take decision,” reads part of article 209.

According to residents and local authorities, polygamous marriages are the root causes for most of the household-based violence in Kaniga Sector. Even though the debate made clear, that young couples live in monogamous relationships and marriages, family problems are still occurring among people aged above 50 years.

The lively debate illustrated, that some men leave their Rwandan wives and marry another woman in Uganda, which is less than a mile away for some of Kaniga residents. In the sector are cases of man who have up to eight wives and numerous children with them. Yet the Constitution of Rwanda recognises only a civil monogamous marriage between a man and a woman as a marital union.

Justus Bakesigaki, 61, admits to be married to two wives, but the number of his wives changes between three and up to five as his second wife and one of his daughters raise their voices during the debate. “I rotate between my two wives and feel good with that. I do make time for each of them and don’t see why it should be a problem,” expresses Bakesigaki.

Nyiramirimo, his second wife and mother of two of his children, opposes him saying that the husband has failed to support all of his wives and children. She herself struggles to cater for her children. “I urge monogamous men to avoid getting a second wife. From my experience I also advise women to never accept a married man. He won’t make you happy,” says Nyiramirimo.

Janet Asiimwe, daughter of Bakesigaki, says “My husband is married only to me and I don’t want him to get a second wife. It creates conflicts among wives and hampers family’s prosperity.”

Chantal Tukahirwa, mother of seven, whose husband has left her seven years ago to marry another woman in Uganda, says her conflicts with husband reached a deadlock. “My husband fell in love with a wealthy lady and tried to marry her. He chased me from our matrimonial home when I refused, but I returned a year later after authorities ruled in my favour. That decision angered my husband, so he left with that woman to Uganda”, tells Tukahirwa, who still loves her husband. “Since he is gone, our life is miserable”, she resumes.

Jean Marie Vianney Bangirana, Executive Secretary of Kaniga Sector, says polygamy is decreasing in the community due to government and partners’ sensitisation. “With polygamy come many consequences: A polygamous man will not cater well for the family, children in such families lack education. Above all, there are often conflicts among the wives over the care and resource distribution of the joint husband”, he explains in the gathering.

According to the Executive Secretary, at least 50 households in the sector are known for having conflicts mainly resulting from polygamy and drug abuse. Together with police and army forces, he is fighting against drug abuse and his office offers mediation to solving issues in conflicting families.

The dead child has been identified as Chance Niyokwizera while the old woman has not been identified. ?Speaking to IGIHE, the executive secretary of Bugarama Sector confirmed the tragedy saying that the violent rains also damaged different properties.

“It rained around 1:30 pm on Monday. Two other people sustained injuries and are hospitalized at Bugarama Islamic Health Center,” he said.

In Muganza sector, a total of 50 houses were destroyed.

Rwanda Energy Group has today completed its work of connecting Mageragere model estate in Nyarugenge district to the country’s electric grid at an estimated cost of Rwf 9 million.

The ceremony to light the 43 house happened on Saturday, August 26th during the monthly communal cleaning locally called Umuganda.

Prosper Mubera Birori, the REG public relations officer, said that the Group intends to always light villages it has connected to the electric grid during every monthly communal cleaning in different districts.

“This is the initial opening ceremony of an event that will always happen at the end of each month. We used to host the same lighting event at the institutional level when engaged in umuganda,” he said.

During the same event, journalists who graduated over the last three years also paid health insurance for 100 locals in the same sector.

Nzaramba Kayisime, Nyarugenge district executive secretary, hailed both REG for connecting locals to the electricity and journalists for their engagement in having locals access health services through mutuelle de Sante. Umuganda brought together all people in the model village to clean the place.

On Sunday, 27 August 2017, Rwanda will celebrate Umuganura 2017, commonly known as National Harvest Day.

The day is celebrated in a bid to promote the Rwandan culture of valuing and celebrating achievements and crop yields from the country’s soil.
This year’s celebrations are held under the theme: Umuganura, a foundation of unity and self-reliance.

In ancient Rwanda, Umuganura was one of the most important ceremonies celebrated by Rwandans at the beginning of every harvest season. The festivities were an occasion to celebrate the country’s achievements in terms of harvest both at the kingdom and family levels.

Today, Umuganura has a broader meaning: it has evolved to become a national festival to celebrate the country’s achievements in line with its vision for a more cohesive, united, peaceful and prosperous future.

It is also an opportunity to think of new ways to attain sustainable development. Umuganura festival, at a national level, is marked by processions and march-pasts, parades and fashion shows, as well as a set of traditional games.

As part of efforts to reconstruct Rwanda and nurture a shared national identity, the Government of Rwanda drew on aspects of Rwandan culture and traditional practices to enrich and adapt its development programs to the country’s needs and context.
The result is a set of Home Grown Solutions – culturally owned practices translated into sustainable development programs. One of these Home Grown Solutions is the First-Fruits Festival, also known as Umuganura.

The festival is also an occasion to bring together Rwandans from all social ranks in a bid to cement the social fabric of the Rwandan society.

As part of the celebration, Sunday, August 27th will be Umuganura Day and according to the announcement by the Ministry of Public Service and Labour( MIFOTRA), which implies on Monday, August 28, 2017, will be a public holiday.
