Self-proclaimed president of single mothers Akothee on December 2, 2020 threw her first born daughter Vesha Okello a luxurious party at Villa Rosa Kempinski to celebrate her graduation, inviting only close friends and family.  The mother of five was however surprised by a section of guests who remained glued to their phones despite the merrymaking. Akothee recalled spotting a number of girls who had occupied a table at the corner of the room and did nothing but look at their phones throughout the event.

“Then there were these bunch of girls who occupied seats in the corner with their phones since they walked into the party. They could just take selfies, short updates here and there and go back to chatting on their phones. I was so embarrassed on their behalf.  They only lifted their heads when people were laughing or heard a celebrity walking in,” she wrote.
