This is exactly what you get when misfits are given power to lead nations...!

You can't tell me a corruption-free and development-driven democracy will give room for such rebellion and military coups.

Keep blaming the White while your leaders loot your future.
And where do these useless leaders take their loot? Is it not to Europe and America where they get to enjoy the proceeds of their criminality unencumbered?

If I steal money and try and enjoy I will be prosecuted but Tinubu et al. do it and they are celebrated in the west.

We lack strong rebels in Nigeria
What we have are paid vagabonds killing and kidnapping their own people in the name of liberation

Revolution is what Africa truly needs
A Cleanse up from top to bottom

We need a strong smart rebel
Not illiterates like Nnamdi kanu and igboho

We need courageous minds like Jk Rawlings
Arrest all corrupt politicians in Nigeria

Line them up for Firing squad
Execute them all. Simple

This is the only way Nigeria will develop
Democracy in Nigeria has been hijacked

It's time to delete all the virus and start a fresh

The west are the real enemies of black people

According to them, black people are like useless on the surface of the earth

Their mentality is that they own Africa and its resources and we are only occupying it…
In fact, if not for the little humanity they have in them, they would prefer to nuke everyone in Africa and inherit our land

They have done it before, the white man goes round the world killing people and taking over their lands



I think they need to bring history back and teach it well..
If you don’t know history, how will you know how you arrived at the present and what the future may probably hold.

Jews teach history of the holocaust and make it compulsory for their kids…
Israelites don’t even know bible stories.. I have an Israeli friend and he doesn’t even know those bible stories but knows so much about their true history of Second World War and holocaust

An average so called educated African man doesn’t even know of ordinary Berlin conference but will recite Koran and Bible verses and knows history of Bible Israelites more than his own ancestry..

Congolese president is weak because he's a dishonest leader, otherwise he would have got sufficient support from the populace to deal with the devilish Paul Kagame who is sponsoring the rebels against hus country.

In the late 90s, Laurent Kabila and the rebels invaded the DRC from the east and ousted the incompetent Mobutu Seseseko…

Are we about to witness a repeat of something similar in 2025?

Observing…
Your perspective reflects the painful lessons learned from history. The Congolese people initially supported Laurent-Désiré Kabila, believing he would bring positive change after Mobutu’s decades-long rule. However, his alliance with foreign powers, particularly Rwanda and Uganda, led to prolonged instability, resource exploitation, and immense suffering.

We have learned from the mistakes of 1997 and understand the dangers of supporting rebel movements backed by foreign interests. The suffering and exploitation that followed Kabila’s rise to power, particularly with the involvement of Rwanda and Uganda, serve as a stark warning.

This is why many Congolese today are determined to defend the current government against any foreign-backed rebellion. They recognize that instability only benefits external forces seeking to plunder the country’s vast resources. The priority now is to strengthen national unity, reinforce sovereignty, and push for internal reforms that truly serve the interests of the Congolese people.

Well said.

Europeans really did and are still doing us dirty.

And our blind leaders are their willing tools...

I was never thought history in my secondary school. The first time I came in contact with history books in our school library, it was old books about the history of the western world. I had no choice but to read those.

Now that the internet has made it easy to get books, I'm gradually learning the history of 9ja, Afrịka and other countries of interest.

The current system of education we have here is totally fụcked up. Complete rubbish!

I'll never leave my kids at the sole care of the illiterate teachers we have in schools these days. They're mostly interested in teaching kids how to speak English. No true pedagogy.

We need an educational revolution in Africa.

That's something that really baffles me about these guys. Your country is on fire but you are busy chasing rats.
The worse part is that they don't even know what's happening there but jump on the bandwagon of western media to support rubbish. The M23 rebels are people from Eastern Congo. They have been oppressed, killed & all manner of crimes don to them simply because the central govt wants the mineral resources there. Let them breakaway now, govt say no, oya treat them with respect govt say no, den kamala finally burst. The people of gomer are tutsi people of Rwanda the French dubiously mapped into congo so why would Paul kagame not be involved in protecting his people from Cong DR govt. It's just like if SW were a country with Lagos being capital and yorubas in benè & Togo were being killed won't yorubas in Nigeria intervene? You can imagine congo govt cut off power and water to the people off Gomerhuh

This argument is the same excuse that has been used for decades to justify Rwanda’s interference in eastern Congo—but it’s a false narrative designed to cover up resource looting and geopolitical manipulation.

Here’s why:

M23 is not a legitimate "oppressed group"—it is a Rwandan-backed militia.

The M23 rebels claim to be fighting for the rights of Tutsis in eastern Congo, but in reality, they are a proxy army for Rwanda.
Numerous UN reports have exposed Rwanda’s direct military and financial support for M23.
These rebels do not just fight for "protection"—they terrorize, kill, and displace millions of Congolese civilians.
Rwanda’s interest is not in protecting Tutsis—it’s in stealing Congo’s minerals.

The areas M23 occupies (North Kivu, Ituri) are rich in coltan, gold, and other rare minerals.
Rwanda is one of the biggest exporters of coltan in the world, yet it has almost no coltan mines—where do you think it comes from? Eastern Congo. The “ethnic argument” is a smokescreen.

Yes, colonial borders created issues, but this is not just about ethnicity.
If Kagame was truly concerned about Tutsis in Congo, he would advocate for their rights peacefully, not send armed rebels to occupy cities and kill civilians. Many Congolese Tutsis do not support M23 and just want to live in peace.
Cutting off water and power is a wartime measure, not ethnic oppression.

This happens in conflicts worldwide.
Rwanda has also cut off supplies to its own people when it serves its strategic interests.

The real question is: Why is M23 waging war in Congo in the first place? The answer: control of resources.
The truth is simple: M23 is not fighting for Tutsi rights—it is fighting to help Rwanda steal Congolese wealth. The sooner people stop falling for this ethnic excuse, the sooner real solutions can be found.

Do the white forced you to bring the money to their place? Abacha stole a lot of money and the white are returning it. Former governor Joshua Dariye and James Ibori stole money, took it to the UK, they were arrested, prosecuted and jailed. They are now free men over here. How many cases have your saint black anti grant agencies successfully prosecuted. Yaya Bello with all evidence is a free man.
