A short list in a period whick definitely lacks of big deaths. Only born before 1940 are in.

 

*Robert Mugabe (1924), the perennial dictator of Zimbabwe, rumoured to be in poor health mainly because of unconfirmed prostate cancer.

*Girma Wolde-Giorgis (1924), former president of Ethiopia. Not ill, but fat as hell. Could have a bad stroke some day.

*Shehu Shagari (1925), former president of Nigeria

*Olusegun Obasanjo (1937) former president of Nigeria

*Dawda Jawara (1924), the father of Gambia in exile. Again not ill, only old.

*Daniel arap Moi (1924), former Kenyan president. Again, no notable health issues.

*Mwai Kibaki (1931) former president of Kenya

*Quett Masire (1925) former Botswana president

*Abdelaziz Bouteflika (1937) former DL pick.

President Muhammadu Buhari of Nigeria has extended his stay in Great Britain for further tests and treatments of an unknown illness. He often travels to the UK for medical check-ups and treatments, however recently he has been the victim of death hoaxes, which has led to the Nigerian Government officially denying his death.
