For news orgs., strategic intent must point to multi-platform media rolling delivery, where viewership (forget audience) shifted while leveraging real-time delivery of accurate localized content. Talent profiling - local HR teams' greatest #achillesheel - gotta be independent.

How you treat people on their way out says a lot about #leadership.

Tragedy happened but let punishment for recklessness be purely soccer-rules based. A "criminal investigation" into Owono's regrettable challenge is honestly going too far.
If that goalie were white, talk wouldn’t go beyond "creating more awareness" around "player aggression."

"Courtship" for you, the man is to learn everything about her upbringing and not to get her to choose you.
As a man, you’re never chosen. You select.

I find these antics self-defeating in entrenching the craft's reputation. Mr. Madowo may enjoy leverage @cnni affords him in eyes of his audience but anchors ought to bring distinctive authority to the whole nine yards of a broadcast.

“Sweetened the deal” by foregoing dividends that were already due to the existing shareholders?
These pension funds held KPC shares for nine months. The KES 0.32 per share dividend was rightfully theirs, not a concession from Dangote.

Exactly. In any case, JP Morgan just announced Uganda among 26 countries to include in its GBI-EM Edge index just last month.
The Ugandan long term bonds fetch 15% and upwards. They would be gobbled in seconds if such a dump was made by anyone.
And we would know
The ridicule and bastardization of broadcasting - consequences we’re now seeing - is exactly where media owners and managers want journalists & media personalities; whether one brandishes a PhD or rides on an obscure certification. Quality doesn’t serve the business model.

Money hates noise!
JP Morgan, a global leader in investment banking, commercial banking, financial transaction processing and asset management pulled about $800m from Uganda’s bond market after the Newyork times published a story on MK’s basement mess.

Commercial Court of #Uganda has confirmed invoice discounting/factoring as a #finance tool used in accessing cash flow in event of payment delays. Security is the invoice itself
However, the suit failed because the sub-contractor had given a #performance warranty covering delays

Was Iraq necessary🫠

Weaponise your weaknesses by making them known; hide them in plain sight.
Wear 'em like armour and you deprive your opponents the use of ammunition that would otherwise discredit you.

Africa does not need intellectuals who simply translate Western thinking into African languages.
We need scholars who begin with African experiences, challenge inherited assumptions, and produce ideas capable of changing the material conditions of our people.
Seeing talent grounded in business grapple with matters health, the sports-leaning struggle with current affairs/mainstay news ropes, "personalities" who cut their teeth in entertainment & gossip required to do commentary on religiosity harms local broadcasting immensely.
