However this is not a subject for a debate but we think that just her long lifespan which almost tripled the estimated lifespan is considered by hilltopvoices as a reward for her goodwill. Her death announcement In less than 30mins after her death was announced, it spread like wild fire on social media.

By Bakah Derick Blogger@hilltopvoices Buyers and sellers who showed up this Friday June 12, 2015 for the regular weekly animal market along the Bamenda-Bambui highway had to do business along the road instead of the market where regular business is done.
