The rest is on the newspapers. That was how I lost my friend Michael.”

This country should be broken down into 5 to 6 countries or the same made states with a week centre. The states making use of their God given resources. The country is too big for one man to govern as their are many who want to lead who also may be capable but it will never reach their turn again and their time is running out per age.
