By Henry Mutebe. A friend called to check on me. It had  been long since we talked. He asked if I had some time so I could roll over and check on him. I was happy to go check on him. After we had finished University, he had started a small restaurant in town. It has grown exponentially over the years. When I arrived at the restaurant, I was very impressed by how many leaps he had made, in what I believe to be a short time for a business like his. We shuffled through the memories and had a hearty laugh.  As hours went by, I noticed that when customers entered and took seats, he was attending to them and doing a lot of the serving. I asked him if he didn’t have enough staff. He told me that one of the girls working at the restaurant was sick while another guy simply didn’t show up or call to let him know, so he was short of labour. I asked if I can help. He joked, ‘Henry you know I can’t afford you. Here I pay 10,000shs to the attendants. How will I manage to pay you...

THE GATHERING OF JACKALS BY ANIETE ETIM UDONBONG. Written by Aniete Etim Udonbong Published in COLUMNS 0 Permalink  Ladies and gentlemen, please lend me your ears! I need to awaken your intellectual reasoning. I need to first establish it I don’t belong to the APC neither am I a member or sympathizer of any political party. Indeed I hate partisan politics and view it as past time of devil worshippers. Yes, devil worshippers because what do you u say of the back stabbing and betrayals going on? How do you place the mindless looting of our collective money in the light of the word of God? I am fired by patriotic instincts and the need to set the record straight and educate our youths who are at the receiving end of the fraud. This piece may be lengthy but please read to the end. You need to be alerted to the antics of some Jackals now gathering with the aim of destroying our common patrimony and eroding the gains we made in the last three years. $1 exchanged for N72 whe...
