SOME STATE FUNCTIONARIES are worried about a suspicious treat they recently received in a foreign country.
The men fear things may start going south for them, especially after the problems their host has run into lately.
A fly on the wall overheard the lot lamenting that part of the hospitality involved a procedure they were unfamiliar with.
Their fear is the medical process may have left them with invisible scars or hidden devices that could be used against them. Word is they returned home loaded.

A FIRST-TIME LAWMAKER in Western got a rude shock when he attempted to greet a colleague from another House during a function attended by a big man in one of the towns.
The lawmaker had already instructed his bloggers to take pictures of him while greeting the colleague, who had rebuked him for posting many photos that flooded WhatsApp pages in the region.
The lawmaker presumably out of shame stealthily walked away from the pose and vanished into the crowd, with egg on his face.

A LAWYER WITH considerable name recognition perplexed his friends over how he thinks of his public ratings.
The man claims his popularity among the masses, having presumably been a leader of a key outfit, is so high that he considers running for a big seat come the next polls.
The man thinks of all names that have been suggested as challengers to the current administration, his tops the list and he will make the claim at the right time.
of his compatriots were overheard saying the man may have had one bottle too many, but time will tell.

IS IT THOUGHTLESS ambition or impatience? That is the question in the minds of close associates of a youthful politician from a key region.
The rabble-rouser is said to have miscalculated his moves during and after the Gen Z protests, taking positions on issues that seemed to be at variance with his political outfit.
And when a major vote came to Parliament, he went missing, turning himself into a black sheep within his outfit.
Pundits argue the man salivating for a bigger seat may have authored his own political obituary.
