IT is one thing getting on top, but when one gets there, can they stay there, once asked one popular hip-hop genius said.
This is the thought that kept lingering in yours truly’s mind after learning of the downfall of this other well-known pint-sized businessman-cum-politician.
Blabber is still wondering how on earth this young man would fall on hard times after managing to accumulate considerable wealth in recent years.
After all, the boy is not really a womaniser nor party animal that we would have expected to squander all his money on blood-sucking flesh peddlers in our city.
In fact, if anything, Blabber is really hurt to learn of his downfall, given that even in times of plenty, the boy remained humble as ever and always had time for everyone.
Unfortunately, it would appear, the boy took a very big bite, so big that, gentle reader, he could not chew it.
At some point, after hearing word that this dude is no longer in possession of the big bills he once had, Blabber thought it was all because of his ill-informed choice to dip his hands into the cruel and dirty games of politics.
Yes, a lot of that happens in politics, and we all know and understand that.
In the game called politics, who does not know one ends up dishing out money and resources to people they do not even know just to curry allegiance and buy loyalty.
Back then when we were still literature students in high school, we would perfectly define this as, ingratiating oneself with someone through obsequious behaviour.
That is politics for you!
And now the boy is down and out, broke and miserable.
Make no mistake gentle reader, Blabber feels the pain and commiserates with this boy.
He was just too good in character to be this broke!
After investigations, Blabber also unearthed that the boy duped some of the people who made sure he breaks the cycle of poverty, including that other booming fast moving consumer goods company owners.
Yes, that fast moving consumer goods company owned by our comrades-in-arms that are of light in complexion, have Caucasian-like hair, always business-oriented and deeply religious.
These are the people who gave him stuff to sell and made him pay after selling while pocketing the profit.
Blabber is informed that our bother duped them in some of the transactions that they had and yet these are the same people who had helped his rise in his business.
For those who could be wondering who exactly yours truly is blabbering about, it is none other than this other short chap, whose name is similar to one of the sections in one of our very old high-density suburbs. In the end, it was a sorry sight when most of his properties, including vehicles, were attached by these very unforgiving comrades-in-arms of ours.
That was the end!
For the record, Blabber does not celebrate anyone’s downfall, but being an elder in our community, Blabber feels duty bound to draw lessons and teach others on some of the dos and don’ts in this life!
I rest my case!
