Such a literary marvel that would have seemed only possible in the imaginative worlds of Kafka, Achebe and other writers is a situation where the dead lead the living. This brazen character of the possibility of the dead leading the living being projected by the Buhari government has vitalised the imagination of Nigerians. The list of the dead is getting longer with the passage of each day. Since deadocracy or corpsocarcy is a government of the dead for the dead, it is no accident that that there has been a spectre of death over the nation since the emergence of Buhari as the president. Thus, it is the government officials who are outraged that the citizens took umbrage at Buhari making the dead to lead them that are chafing under the affliction of a Lilliputian mind and not the people.
