Split them up
Based on the 2011 census, the 10 districts with the biggest population are Anglimp-South Waghi, Talasea, Laigap-Porgera, Lae, Nipa-Kutubu, Mendi-Munihu, Gazelle, Kainantu, Mt Hagen and Kairiku-Hiri. They need to be split in two, or their funding doubled.
New variant
It began with only the Covid-19, then the variants followed starting with Alpha then Delta. Now the new one is called Lambda. Not to be confused with Ritchie Valen’s hit song La Bamba.
Some reasoning
There is an argument that because cows are vegans, steak too is vegan. Really?
Moving door
When they say he is allowed to move within only five km of his front door, the wise guy took the door with him.
Bride price
A clan paid a bride price of K280,000 in cash, 224 pigs, nine cows and a horse among other items last weekend in Mt Hagen. Big payout!
Eager to check
Businesses putting up a notice on their front gate that “there is no cash in the premises” may be inviting trouble. Some curious hooligan (s) may want to check if that is really the case. Just saying.
Clean city
Those who have been to Singapore know how clean that place is. If only Port Moresby can be at least half as clean, it will be a big progress.
Food for thought
Be careful who you share your weaknesses with. Some people cannot wait for the opportunity to use them against you.
