This rise has affected households, hotels, bakeries, restaurants, and traders who depend on eggs as a daily source of protein and business input. A tray of eggs that was once affordable is now costly in many markets, creating concern among consumers and pressure among poultry farmers.

The issues include the death of a Polytechnic principal and an alleged rendezvous by the MP by "small boys in hotel rooms". I will not go into the merits or demerits of the case but mainly focus on the communicators with expertise within the sued team and look at each's capability.  One thing that catches the eye is that among the said bloggers, three are seasoned journalists with a huge following online and are pivotal to communication di...
