A flirtatious and well-connected old lady decides to take revenge on
the one man who has not given in to her sexual approaches, by having him
removed from his position in an international organization. She gets
one of her lovers who happens to be the head of state to consent to her
wishes and thereafter gets to represent the country at the crucial
summit of the organization where the re-election of the
secretary-general would be decided. On learning that she was going to
ask for the resignation of the SG, other delegates and even the chairman
of the organization lost no time in planning for the successor, and
this is where the title comes in:
Chasing chickens translated to scheming for the post of SG.
After
another encounter with the man however the lady realizes that she could
not really hate him and in fact loved him more. So she decides not to
dethrone him, secretly flies back home to get the head of state to
change his mind, and when she attends the final meeting, dumbfounded
everyone by announcing her government’s recommendation of the man for
another term. An interesting sarcasm on West African military
governments and international politics.
