Spare a thought for Raila Odinga, as he embarks on his African Union odyssey. Our people say here in Emanyulia that when your visitor kicks your dog in your presence, he is not talking to the dog. He talks to you.

President Yoweri Museveni has said caustic things about Embakasi East MP Babu Owino. He says Babu is a clueless character around Odinga, the ODM leader. He is among naive individuals hostile to Uganda's NRM government. For this, the Ugandan supremo is unhappy. You are wrong if you think President Museveni was addressing Babu Owino. No, he was talking to the owner of the dog, Mr Odinga, asking him to chain his dog.
