Ezra, the chopper and his ‘kanyamas’

IF you are going on with buddies about this being stale lugambo because you were either at Namboole stadium or have already read bits of it in the papers, just chill us and read the business pages! Our lips won’t stop itching until we get this Ezra thing out of the way.

Known for his showiness and living up to his promises, moneyed man, Michael Ezra showed that he isn’t yet extinct monetarily. Mr Money bags caused quite a stir in the stadium during the Ugandan Cranes Vs Niger match. You know he flew in from Kazakhstan, landed in Nairobi and hired a chopper to Namboole where kanyamas dressed in white formed a protective crescent around him and held an umbrella over his head.

Fans craned their necks as they wondered who had flown in the “bird”, wondering whether the big man, Museveni, had paid a surprise visit. Once inside, about 20 kanyamas guarded him, oba for what! He later dished out cash to some players. But the moneyed man was not done yet. His chopper flew in an arc over Namboole Stadium before heading for the horizon. Was it patriotism or a show off?
