Insecurity of spouse of a high-flying woman getting out of hand

WE RECENTLY TOLD you how a coastal city was turned into Sodom and Gomorrah as some political elites converged for a regional activity there. One of the top participants in the activity was, however, jittery as his wife followed him to the event just to ensure he was not misbehaving with women. It was not the first time the wife had to trail her youthful husband, and it is a well-known secret among his colleagues. Perhaps the powerful man’s sexual indiscretions caused his wife's insecurity to make the trip behind his back to keep an eye on him.

MEANWHILE, THE INSECURITY of the spouse of a high-flying woman is now getting out of hand. While the man’s weird behaviour became apparent during a season when his wife was emerging as a public figure, a recent encounter sent tongues wagging among his wife’s contemporaries. During a major ceremony that marked a key milestone in the woman’s professional growth, the man stuck with her on the stage pulling repulsive faces at any man who would shake hands, hug and smile at her. The man’s behaviour laid bare the hurdles women in public life have to contend with from their insecure men who stifle their progress.

A GROUP OF political brokers from a certain region who were quick to join hands with the current administration have lately been left with a bitter taste in the mouth as the political scene continues to unravel. Before major divides in the country bridged their gap, the lot were flying high and were often loaded with hefty cash every weekend to treat the ground in the backyards. However, with the changing political dynamics, they are left redundant and their lives have taken a serious dip. Indeed, in the political market, personal fortunes are volatile and can quickly diminish.

STILL ON THE fluidity of politics, a political supremo who has been traversing a region for support in the 2027 election has beaten a strategic retreat. A recent rapprochement between a key name from the region he was targeting and another figure has muddied the waters for him, making things unpredictable. Initially, the assumption of his team was the man from the region would remain antagonistic to his detractors and be in his corner. But with that prospect now seeming untenable, the politician fears he is getting outsmarted on the political chessboard
