Omar Bongo (President of Gabon) Passes Away

Omar Bongo of Gabon has passed away in a hospital in Spain. His passing shows us that no matter how rich you make yourself and how long you stay in power, when you die, you die like everyone else. In his last moments I doubt he was thinking about the vast amount of riches he had scattered around the world. I doubt he was troubled by the fact he was to be unable to cart them off to whichever after-life (if he believed in one) he was to inhabit next. He died like other people die, with nothing. His wealth is now there to be enjoyed by someone else. What a pity he didn't use it for something to advance his country and the region.
