Popular radio presenter Alex Mwakideu recently shared his take on loyalty and trust and why he feels his wife does not fit in the category of loyal people. Speaking on NTV’s Wicked Edition with Dr King’ori, the media personality explained that the only person he ever trusted was his late mother who always had his back. He, however, clarified that he loves his wife to death and would probably take a bullet for her if push came to shove. However, according to Mwakideu, love does not necessarily translate to trust and loyalty.

"For my wife...I think I would (take a bullet) but for my kids, that's a definite I wouldn't even think about it but for my wife...I think I would. I don't trust people... at all. The only person I have ever trusted was my late mother, may her soul continue resting in peace. She is the only one I trusted with all my heart. She always had my back. I love my wife very much by the way but don’t confuse loyalty and trust. I can trust someone and not be loyal to them you know. An example of loyalty is that guy that stands behind the president. If anything is thrown at the president, the guy will take it on his behalf,” he said.
