Smartphone technology has infiltrated almost every single element of our daily lives, including sex. Among the changes it has brought is how university students are “positioning” themselves. Over the past years, there has been a mushrooming of sex trade applications and websites in Uganda.
The internet was stirred yesterday after news surfaced that students at Makerere University had created an app dubbed “Kikoni Sure” where students from Makerere, MUBS, and UCU meet up and exchange contacts over the app.
However, the app continues to raise the bar as far as the hunt for the forbidden fruit is concerned, as over 10,000 users have downloaded the app, a day after its inception. This is based on the download figures displayed beside the app on the Google Play store.
Created by a username on Google Play named “Kikoni Makerere App Developer,” the app is suspected to bridge the gap between campus students and potential clients in matters of body and soul. The app has profiles of students, their hostels, and contacts. It also enables a live chat for those online on the app.
The app has since excited Ugandans, with most worried about the loosening moral fabric of today’s generation of youth.
However, students whose names have been withheld told this website that it is a chance for them to earn a little bit of cash since the economic times in the country call for desperate measures.
