The licences issue

1. A road-safety official was recently heard saying, "Too many people are buying their licences." But what about those who are selling the licences? Surely, there must be some way to trap those who continue to hand a deadly weapon to unqualified drivers. And what about the plans to divest the Licensing Authority? Seems they have been put on hold, although no one is saying anything.

Payout

2. The high-profile engineer heard that investors were being paid what was owed to them, so he dashed down to a location in Liguanea to collect his money. When he got there, however, no one was there and the doors were closed. Excitement has been building in recent weeks as whispers about possible payouts grow louder. But the skeptics are saying, "Show me the money."

Chicken importer

3. Oh, so quickly has the chicken importation controversy blown away. However, some people are still asking why the public was not told the names of all the importers.

Bangarang

4. Old-time people used to say, "Wha nuh dead, nuh dash wey." This is so true over at the drama ministry, where musical chairs is being played on a daily basis. And the one who many wanted to show the door has rebounded with much more power; and others have found themselves condemned to back-room duties.

Resignations coming

5. Expect a few high-profile board resignations as the wranglings continue in that powerful boardroom.

Inauguration scam

6. The socialite announced that she was off to the inauguration in DC, but folks say, according to her travel itinerary, the trip ends in Miami. Oh, what a web we weave when we try to deceive.
