BLABBERMOUTH: I told you, power is temporary!

 

IT has been said over and over again, but somehow, folks don’t take heed.

Even in Biblical times, it was noted that ‘my people die because of lack of wisdom’.

This is the same story with this other dear brother of ours who was occupying this other revered office in our city.

I mean this other politician who rose to the high office straight from the street.

Blabber is aware that the boy had nothing to his name and when he became the occupant of this high office, Yours Truly genuinely thought that it was the right time for him to accumulate a few properties and at least escape from the jaws of poverty.

Alas, the trappings of power did not spare him.

He instantly forgot his social and financial challenges as he wined and dined with the rich and the famous while occupying this respected office in our beloved city.

Dear reader, it is pathetic that he even forgot that for the past decade-and-a-half he had been married to his faithful wife and staying at his in-laws’ property.

The boy started having extra marital affairs with different women from across the city and beyond.

To add salt to injury, he even went on to build a house for one of his concubines in that other developing peri-urban village near our beloved city.

Being mobile and always on the road on duty, Blabber understands that he also had another affair with a woman based in that other city where they never sleep.

All these women depended on him for their upkeep and our dear brother used his allowances and kickbacks from his high office to fund his open zip and closed mind policy.

Now that his era in this high office has come to an abrupt end, Blabber is waiting to see who will now accommodate him.

This is the time our dear brother will know where he is really loved and where he is tolerated.

Blabber will also wait and see whether the in-laws will still have him at their residential property after he failed to build his own property while constructing a house for a smell house; sorry, small house.

By the way, Blabber’s next instalment will have the latest details on the said small house. News filtering through is that she has already started showing her true colours by jumping on to this other businessman.

In the next instalment, Blabber will also take time to delve into this other juicy one involving a well-known socialite whose wife caused a stir at a local salon.

Meanwhile, let Yours Truly get the facts right.
