1. The regime apparatchiks are not happy that their chief ghost was disqualified by Twitter. Believe you me, they are working very hard to get one back. They can use their coercive power of arrest or they can counter with reports to Twitter saying X is spreading fake news.
2. The rain in recent weeks has caused a problem of rats & mice in my area. Other villagers hired chaps to help. But I’m an original villager so I resorted to a traditional method: chikirimbani! And boy has it been effective!😅 
3. Chikirimbani works by enticing the mouse to the trap. I use peanuts (they call them monkey nuts in the shops!). I can’t waste cheese. The mouse thinks it’s a great meal. And boom! Before it knows what’s going on. That’s the regime’s strategy. It will throw baits, false stories
4. And if you behave like the mouse/rat, that’s it. We are all at risk of making errors. And we will make them. The least we can do is try hard to mitigate them by being more careful. That’s why I’m slow to use the information you send. It’s not because I ignore you.
5. It’s been days since the last catch here. Maybe they are finished. Or maybe the little fellas figured it out. As Achebe wrote, “Eneke the bird says that since men have learned to shoot without missing, he has learned to fly without perching”. Please be like Eneke the bird!
