JESUS ONCE fed thousands with two fish and five barley loaves, but now a certain individual is seeking to make a few people appear to be a thousand.
An important event is on the horizon and two people will be seeking to better each other, but it might be far from being a fair contest.
Word reaching Cou Cou is that the few will be made to look like many, and when the two contestants cast their nets upon the waters the one who under normal circumstances would be expected to be the victor could be in pain since the other has had a prior hand in what is to be drawn.
In fact, so intent is his purpose that observers suggest those in the military and paramilitary who have problems finding resources, should observe how real and effective recruitment is done.
This approaching event will be remembered long after it has passed, even if both individuals are from as divine as the Holy One.Split loyalties
HE might be considered the poster child for anyone who believes that a deputy is not really essential.
Cou Cou has been told that a certain individual has deserted the camp of his new mentor and returned to that of an old one.
He apparently said that he owed much to the old mentor and in a particular imminent battle he had no choice but to go with the hand that once fed him.
It has left the new mentor with diminished troops but some have given reassurance that all is not lost. Raging bull An individual who is facing a certain fight could find that her greatest ally is a raging bull who is not even in the picture anymore.
A stalwart has openly declared that he will be checking faces and numbers and urging all and sundry to go with his girl.
He indicated that even if it comes down to fiticuffs he will ensure that there are no shenanigans and that his girl gets a fair deal.
Insiders say that no one should take him lightly since when it comes down to a brawl or street fight, there is no one who can marshal energy and venom quite as effectively as this bloke.The shadow
He would not appear out of place on the streets of Bombay or Karachi, or even Swan Street for that matter. But he has quickly and very quietly become a very important player for someone with great expectations.
He has been whispering in the ears of the individual and advising on all aspects of social life, especially economic matters. Indeed, even if they are not openly read, his speeches are those now being delivered at important events where money, growth and such matters are discussed.
When will he come into this particular political limelight? Only the shadow knows. Changing guard
IF insiders are to be believed, a new boss could be at the helm of a certain institution by as early as January 31. It is something for which many have been praying for sometime.
But the better news, Cou Cou has been told, is that it now looks certain that a class act will be elevated above others and given the opportunity to make his mark on the institution. He comes highly qualified in every facet and could easily be stamped with the title of that Lou Gossett Jr. classic.Tangled web
AN old stalwart has been told to look over his shoulder during the next few months. Although it once seemed as though he was heading off into the sunset, he has openly declared his hand and said that his sun has not yet set. But a neighbour seems set on sending himinto the dusk. That neighbour has brought a relative to cast a cloud over the stalwart’s sun and only two weeks ago hinted at a gathering that the cousin could at this stage give a better account than he who has been in place since the early morn.
