MUGABE, LOOKING DANDY AT 85?

One of Africa's foremost dictator Robert Mugabe recently turned 85! Icheoku says, happy birthday Bob; and asks, are you going to pass on, a sitting president of Zimbabwe?

A few years of retirement would have been ideal to rest your tired old bones, preparatory to the ultimate journey beyond to meet with your ancestors? But only you knows why you have glued your butt, with super-glue, on the seat of the government in Harare. Be that as it may, Icheoku wants to recognize your coming of real golden age and in a fairly good condition!

If I can look as good at 85 then I don't want to die at 70! Aside of Lady McCain, the mother of Senator John McCain of Arizona, USA; at 95, Icheoku must admit you are one heck of a good-looking old person. Bob, you are in a very good-condition for any old person at your age. Hopefully you will be the first head of state and/or government to attain the magical 100 years? How about a centurion president of Zimbabwe? That will be a very difficult, if not impossible record to break? Anyway, happy birthday, Mr. President for Life of Zimbabwe!
