[wanabidii] A CLASSIC AFRICAN PRESIDEN

A CLASSIC AFRICAN PRESIDENT..... "His face is on the money. His photograph hangs on every office in the realm. His ministers wear gold pins with tiny photographs of Him on the lapels of their tailored pinstrip suits. He names streets, football stadiums, hospitals, and universities after himself. He carries a silver-inlaid ivory mace or an ornately carved walking stick or a flywhisk or a chiefly stool. He insists on being called 'doctor' or 'conqueror' or 'teacher' or 'the big elephant' or 'the number one peasant' or 'the wise old man' or 'the national miracle' or 'the most popular leader in the world'. His every pronouncement is reported on the front page. He sleeps with wives and daughters of powerful men in government. He shuffles ministers around without warning, paralysing government operations. He rigs elections. He emasculates the courts. He cows the press. He stifles academia. He goes to church/ mosque"
