Congo is the most gifted and richest in natural resources in the world. But they are among the poorest in the world. Their untapped deposit is over 24 trillion dollars ..
Their problem is failed and oppressive leadership and the influence of Western powers on their resources...
If their leaders are willing, they can become the richest country in the world...
Africa seems to be cursed they have everything but they are the poorest...Europe have nothing compared to Africa..but they are the world giant..which way Africa?

PS: We are still under colonisation but we don't know...all our wealth is under the control of our politicians who are indirectly being controlled by Western powers...
We need another kind of struggle to really decolonise us completely..For. now we are under economic and political colonisation.... Only if the majority know this, they will fight and hunt the politicians to liberate themselves.

rich and wealthy private Africans can also do their part by investing in those resources

We are the ones oppressing ourselves and playing to the tune of Europeans, the wealth of Congo is the reason for their poverty. Every militia group wants to control the mines, foolishly sell the raw materials cheaply, since there is no infrastructure to refine, and then use the money to buy weapons and fight other militia groups.

princemartinsG:
We are blessed with limitless resources

And at the same time blessed with useless leaders

Oh my Africa when shall you reach your glory

VOTE FOR A DEVELOPED AFRICA

And useless fellowers. It is said that a country cannot grow above the average IQ of the citizens of that country.

It's not by chance that Africa keeps producing bad leaders, my opinion is that majority of the people themselves are bad that's why they keep producing such leaders.

True.

80% of the problem in Africa is caused by Africans, we need to be telling ourselves the truth before shifting blame.

Look at Equitorial Guinea with all its oil wealth and small population it is still a 3rd World country.

Congo is so vast and so endowed, it would take uncommon leadership to bring the country under a single govt.
large portions are currently governed by rebels proped up by MNCs.

70% of the world's planes and jet fighters have Congolese Cobalt.

Imagine if they have a president that can leverage on it to achieve true prosperity and devt.

They would be richer than Germany.

Videos have emerged online showing the moment villagers in Congo discovered what has been tagged The mountain of gold in congo.

In the viral video circulating, the villagers could bee seen digging the mountain containing the gold deposits and taking the soil back to their homes in order to wash the dirt and extract the gold.

Thieves (Govt...) with pens would soon come and claim ownership of the entire mountain, constitute mining agents and pay the villagers peanut.

Congo has already been conquered. Neo colonialists in full swing. A Country that's half as big as Nigeria with an economy lesser than Ghana's.

They take about 5% of the mining profits.

Gold is overrated, i simply don't believe the price of gold

Shattuck:
the biggest threat to Africa's development is Africa. guess you know nothing about the level of political corruption in the Congo. I just pray this doesn't lead to unrest and bloodshed

God bless you.

The day I washed my hands off Africa was when I realised that they can kill you for just buying a new shoe.

There is so much hatred, selfishness and jealous among Africans that's is our main problem

Just 5% and you are complaining

In Nigeria, the gold belong to the Northern States but the resources in the south belongs to FG

osuofia2:
always blaming the white for evrything. Thunder go fire nna

You dey look the foolish people.

They forget that they are the same ones that will cross river to meet one baba just to kill you for hustling better than them.

The blackman is his own worst enemy.

The biggest palliatives ever

I trust the wicked greedy america and fuvking british coming to create discord that may lead to another civil war

They sold it. There were already chinese men on ground touring the area doing nothing other than buying the products. I gathered from the guy that a Kg of the green one is #500,000. Me and my guy planned to go back there but it was hopeless seeing the crowd and expanse of land that has already being worked... And they said that is the second location that has been discovered.

bukatyne:


What do the villagers do with them afterwards?

ABCthings:
what is wakanda? What does it means in your language?

A fictional haven supposed to be in Africa. Thank you.

Oh! my dear race!







wey dem for just FEM! dey make their cool doh!

Dpharisee:

Western leaders are the problem there, CIA assassinated Patrice Mulumba to loot the country for several years and arm different ethnic groups to keep fighting while looting continues

CIA assisted in removing Patrice because of his affliation to Socialist Russia, not becos of any mineral resources. He also had some internal issues already

Get your facts right.

blueAgent:


Just 5% and you are complaining

5 % of value that is entirely urs :p ? Baba how far ? For Nigeria and Angola where over the decades govt has come to capture anywhere from 60 to 80 percent of all profits without fulfilling contractual obligations or investing anything... with them the issue is corruption of earned funds. And not necessarily being outrightly cheated (altho some of that still happens)...

Congo is a diff case. Kabila them still hold sway over the finance mines and security ministries. Eastern congo is being robbed blind by Kagame's (fake woke leader) ppl and remnants of militias are very much active. All the while, European mining cos are cashing out lol.

mike8804:
If you analyze how God created this earth, you know HE wanted everybody to be rich, God hates poverty. That's why everything is in surplus, mineral resources, crops, animals and even knowledge to utilize it. Poverty is created by man, few individuals monopolizing what is meant for majority.
Man created money as a tool to achieve control, the few print what they term fit for the society, keep much for themselves and share few for the populace.
Devil is not the cause of poverty, man is and they blame it on the devil. Until we go back to trade by barter poverty will never cease from this earth, even the free air and water given to man has been monetize.

This has greatly cause the obsessive love for money. Poverty is the root of all evil, if you are in doubt compare the crime rate in Monaco & Finland versus Nigeria and Somalia. Stay rich!!!

You are a joker.
Trade by barter can never work, not in a modern society

Propaganda.

Your politicians are the ones stealing your wealth not the West.

ElValiente:
What how Congo will have nuclear weapons soon. Boom uncle Sam is coming for them. Smh

Would you blame Uncle Sam? Africa is cursed na. We dont have good leaders.
Some people call him a tyrant, some call him whatever , but i put it to you, If there was no Kagame, Africa for pass this shithole them day call us.
Shay this gold na Rwanda them see am, i know that man would have utilised it well.

You need see even as those Hutu ruin Rwanda, go and see how that man has made that place. Na money remain for them to get, but they are doing very well.

SKhanmi:
Death is coming, Something like this should have been kept secret.

The mountain where it was found is kept secret until this day.
they just showed us they have gold - From that Mountain. The name of the mountain was never told.

You mean 5% is taken by our government or the west?

I hope you know that when western firms invest in Africa for example in mining they are taking high risks due to poor policies and unstable government and such investment must warrent high profits for it to be feasible?

Unified07:
people don't know about DR.congo arguably the most blessed country on earth unfortunately now the poorest,Africans are really cursed with bad leaders

Demonic Leaders. And the sicknesses there no be here. Ebola, etc
And they are in a serious civil war now.

sure, that's why there will still be poverty. money is a tool of control created by the few to control the resources of the many. am not proposing trade by barter am just stating the fact

I know France will call Congolese government to draft army to the location. If they lack the resources to do so, the French government will deploy their own military free of charge.

It's a blessing to the first set of villagers that harvested theirs.

hope buhari would not send bandits to them....

I mean that Congo's fg takes in 5 percent of revenues. Sad. Yes they must make profits, however given that compliance costs and other sustainability considerations are nonexistent, they have higher margins here (adding corruption).

That's what they said about oil till FG seized 35 percent in safrap (later elf and now total) and started positioning itself with the 60 % JV, ppt and royalty taxes. The co.s said they cant operate with all those, but today they r still here. Gaddafi started doing 55% , at first there was opposition, but afterwards everyone aligned.

Pre Opec, IOCs owned the oil and tankers. Only paid a tax on each barrel. But after the Arabs and South Americans nationalized it what happened? They cooperated.

Mining just hasn't had that push yet. How many mining cos try this nonsense in Australia or Canada? Provincial govts are swimming in cash money. Cos they yax it well.

If it's true,
War (instigated by selfish militia group) Loading.....

Mineral resources discovery has never been a blessing in Africa but Death and blood.

Without the Coltan and Cobalt from Congo laptops, smartphones and electric vehicles will not be possible. That is why the country has been destabilized for decades by this bloody imperialists and their African collaborators.
