THE BIYA BARONS AND THEIR SCARE OF THE GRIM REAPER
They conquered all. They lived for close to a century in stupifying opulence, mind-boggling omnipotence and in a sea of limitless authority. On earth, they were gods. They held the key to life and death. Many of them are, in fact, centenarians. On paper they are octogenarians. But they were born at a time when birth certificates did not exist. Their genuine ages were mere speculations geared at making them younger. They wielded power from hospital beds till the Grim Reaper came calling. They will strip the public treasury, board planes to the white man’s land to seek state-of-the-art medical care, imploring doctors to extend their lives and, if possible, make them gain eternal life. But the grim reaper is implacable, inflexible, and incorruptible. The grim reaper never fails. No matter how powerful, no matter how rich, no matter how wicked, the grim reaper will ultimately guide you to the world beyond. The grim reaper and its inevitability are the Biya regime’s worst nightmare
