Shortest Lived Presidency in History?

African countries have seen many presidents come and go. Capitalist presidents, Socialist presidents, Charismatic presidents, Puppet Presidents, Nonconformist Presidents, Democratic presidents, old presidents, young presidents, presidents for life and the list goes on and on. To put all of these guys on a list would be a burdensome task because from all 54 African countries there are perhaps more than 300 hundred names, so some of you may remember the first, middle and even the last name from history class according to what makes them stand out but most would people would fail miserably if these names were ever to appear in a game of charades. Either way though you probably haven’t even heard of Hezekiah Ochuka - the man who from 6am August 1, 1982 to 12 noon August 1 1982 might have been the 3rd President of Kenya.

His leadership would have been terrible as well, far worse than Moi, GOOD RIDANCE!

[@CrimsonA1]

Curious, does Africa have a “Silicon Valley” equivalent? A tech sector that the rest of the world is unaware of? A vid about that would be interesting!

[@CaptainMike-d2p]

Well.. while not as concentrated in a central place as the one in the West, there are brilliant minds albeit scattered all across the continent. In Kenya for example, there's the likes of Morris Mbetsa who's innovations are moving manufacturing inland for local solutions to local problems.

This is indeed an eye opener in my life. I never knew that Ochiuka was able to rule Kenya for just 6 hrs!!
Keep on educating us!! Good job❤❤

[@RisenAfrica]

Many thanks!

[@beatricebukaba5116]

[@254alright2]

We have missed you so much risen Africa

[@RisenAfrica]

Slowly coming back to posting! For now once a week, you'll always have an episode🙏

[@SiyaMedia]

Would have helped to mention what happened to Ochuka at the end, anyway Wikipedia will fill that gap

[@karimdhanani5535]

He, and Okumu were held in a prison in Mbeya, Tanzania in 1983. I talked to both of them many times.

[@livencali1]

[@bbalderston125]

What happened to him?

[@cartived1085]

sentenced to death

[@Troo37]

You put ruto in the wrong group

[@JustFluffyQuiltingYarnCrafts]

Very interesting. Though he did not "rule" for more than 6 hours his name is known for this event. In his mind he may view this as some sort of victory - he will never be forgotten. 😉
Thank you for always giving us knowledge of our beautiful continent. ❤

[@RisenAfrica]

Good point 🙂 Many thanks for always watching

[@mcamara488]
