Download or read book Obi s Nightmare written by Tenso Tenso and published by Phoneme Media. This book was released on 2018-06-18 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Obi is the world's longest serving dictator, Equatorial Guinea's President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo. Obi's Nightmare is just that, a comic about Obi's worst day ever. What would be the worst possible thing that could happen to Obi? Would it be for his heir apparent son's $50 million collection of supercars to be seized by French authorities? What if the country's vast oil reserves were to dry up, or what if he was forced to share power? Would it be the results of a truly democratic election, or the worsening of his already fragile health? No, answer the pseudonymous authors of the first ever Equatoguinean graphic novel. The worst possible thing that could happen to President Obiang would be to endure the life of an average Guinean citizen. Welcome to Obi's Nightmare, the riches-to-rags tale of Obiang's living out a single ordinary day as an ordinary Guinean, in a country ravaged by poverty and squalid living conditions for all but a very select few of Obi's former associates, despite boasting the continent's highest GDP. This no-hold-barred comic dares its readers to laugh at the man who has declared himself above both international law and common decency, by taking a comical but critical look at the everyday life of the average Guinean. Working together with EG Justice, Phoneme produced the Spanish-language original version of La Pesadilla de Obi, which has been smuggled into Equatorial Guinea to challenge the dictatorship and promote democracy.

Their parents believed so much in superstition and tradition, and this brings consistent divergent opinions between these parents and their two children. The girl, who is in the center of everything, envisaged the coming of an evil day and succeeded in drawing her brother's attention to her thoughts and feelings concerning a traditional right that was performed on her behalf when she was two years old.

On swearing to stop at nothing to save her sister from being a victim of a tradition, which he considers insignificant, an indirect intimidation and injustice against women and children related his concerns to his friends.
