Lalasticlala Robert Mugabe is coming for you

He had the chance to leave with heads high like other African leaders who represent failures in leadership and governance like Oby, the etuoke man and Bubu. But like his African sit tight leaders. The drunkenness of power never let him.

Too much of everything is bad
