Childhood Heroes of the Patriarch

Sanni Abacha, the man behind the voice and the glasses, was both revered and feared. Few loved him. But he turned out to have too chubby a face for history and was quickly discarded. People loved the rotund atmosphere of Obasanjo because it showed that even the flawed could rule countries. But his rulership left most wanting, yearning for the meaning of life. It is all about the face. The jaw. The savageness of the stare. Not, sir, the stomach... and its implications. Your civilization died of an amala overdose... (how is our wife?)
