*According to some of those who were part of the Fiji delegation to Melbourne in August last year, they heard a woman on the phone, pacing up and down the hotel corridor in the early hours of the morning, looking for her Cabinet Minister husband.
*She had accompanied him to Melbourne, along with Lynda Tabuya, Pio Tikoduadua and a few others.
*When she suddenly woke up, she had found her husband missing from their Hotel Windsor bedroom.
*It was only when they returned to Fiji that she discovered that her husband was 'bonking' Tabuya in another part of the hotel.
*Now, Rabuka, to whom the two Cabinet Ministers lied to that they were not engaged in extra-marital affair, has once again dismissed the Fijileaks (and Grubsheet) revelations.
*We should not be surprised, for here is a man who had denied that he had fathered a child with a Fiji Times reporter until DNA test caught him out, and he later agreed to pay child maintenance.
*As for Tabuya, she has unleased her fans on the Minister's wife, and shamefully tells her supporters to remember the parable of the 'donkey and the farmer' - Shake It Off, and Step Up (see her FB posting below).
*What she didn't tell her fans was that the donkey later came back, and bit the farmer who had tried to bury him. The gash from the bite got infected and the farmer eventually died in agony from septic shock.
*The moral of the story….When you do something wrong, and try to cover your ass, it always comes back to bite you.
Prime Minister, Sitiveni Rabuka, has chosen not to engage in comments or discussions regarding allegations of infidelity involving two cabinet ministers that re-surfaced on social media yesterday.
Speaking to FBCNews, the Prime Minister stated that he had already addressed the matter with the concerned ministers last year.
“There have been no developments as far as I’m concerned; maybe there have been comments on social media. I do not comment on comments on social media,” Prime Minister Rabuka declared during the press conference.”
The allegations in question had been circulating on social media since last year, resurfacing recently with the purported involvement of Minister for Social Welfare, Lynda Tabuya, and Minister for Education, Aseri Radrodro.
The platform that posted the claims provided Viber exchange messages as evidence.

A parable is told of a farmer who owned an old mule. The mule fell into the farmer’s well. The farmer heard the mule braying or whatever mules do when they fall into wells. After carefully assessing the situation, the farmer sympathized with the mule but decided that neither the mule nor the well was worth the trouble of saving. Instead, he called his neighbors together, told them what happened, and enlisted them to help haul dirt to bury the old mule in the well and put him out of his misery.
Initially, the old mule was hysterical! But as the farmer and his neighbors continued shoveling, and the dirt hit his back, a thought struck him. It suddenly dawned on him that every time a shovel load of dirt landed on his back, he should shake it off and step up!
This he did, blow after blow. “Shake it off and step up…shake it off and step up…shake it off and step up!” He kept on repeating this phrase to encourage himself. No matter how painful the blows or distressing the situation seemed, the old mule fought panic and just kept right on shaking it off and stepping up.
It wasn’t long before the old mule, battered and exhausted, stepped triumphantly over the wall of that well. What seemed like would bury him actually blessed him—all because of the manner in which he handled his adversity.
That’s life! If we face our problems and respond to them positively, refusing to give in to panic, bitterness or self pity, the adversities that come along to bury us usually have within them the potential to benefit and bless us. Remember that forgiveness, faith, prayer, praise and hope all are excellent ways to “shake it off and step up” out of the wells in which we find ourselves!
Blessed morning Fiji!
