road around her neck

I read or heard some where that Eve has a new boyfriend. Not that this is major or important, but more so who this man is may be. You may not have heard of him, but his name is Teodorin Nguema Obiang, the son of Equatorial Guinea dictator Teodoro Obiang Nguema.

I speculate that him being extremely wealthy and suited down all the time, makes it ok to look the other way. But would Eve care since he is know for having two Bentleys and a Lamborghini Murcielago, that he jails people just because they disagree with him politically and even is connected to touturing folks to death? It has even been reported that the heir spent nearly $700,000 to rent Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen's 303-foot yacht to throw a party for her. Not to mention that he owns mansions in Paris, London and Cape Town.

At any rate, it’s operose for me to see why one would go out with the likes of an individual who would steal from their own kind to lavish themselves as opposed to honoring the sovereign duty of political leadership? His father has ruled the West African country since 1979 and has survived several failed coup attempts, one of which by his own brother. Brig. Gen. Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo as his official title reads also has strong connections with the current Administration via Joe Allbritton and the Riggs Bank. It is alleged that the account in question contained $300 million to $500 million over the past years. Most of which is deposited by international oil companies active in Equatorial Guinea. None the less, The General has been known for torturing and unjust imprisonment of political opponents by Amnesty International.

The country I admit is beautiful, especially Malabo – which is also know for the location of the infamous Malabo's Black Beach prison. However, although offshore oil fields generate hundreds of millions of dollars for the West African nation, most of the population is impoverished living on roughly a dollar a day, and its infra-structure is basically non-existent.

I hope Eve is happy, but I wish she could see that the son is no different from his father. He did serve as director of his father's 2002 reelection campaign which it is reported was extremely corrupt and has obviously learned well from his father since He is the minister of state for forestry, environment and housing. Yep, I guess she is happy, because I know when ever she looks at all that ice he will be drowning her with, that it will be just like wearing a road around her neck.
