These Africa presidential palaces explain a lot. How can one live in such luxury (built with the nation's wealth) and still remembers there is another world called 'SUFFERING'
Little woder, we have the 'sit tight' syndrome' or whatever name soothes the self centred life of whoever is 'occupying' the palace, ('siddon put', 'no shaking', 'na only me fit do am', 'odeshi', 'má sę ló', 'ci gaba', etc). Africa!!!
