What they wanted to do to GEJ if he insisted.

Gej left. They had their way. Mass poverty and death of Nigerians from hunger and diseases followed since 2015.
#BLACKLIVESMATTER.

It is sad that the Africans betraying and dehumanizing fellow brothers in league with inhouse or the neo-colonialist enemies started a long time ago and has persisted till date.

No local chiefs connived with the colonial masters(slave trader cum imperialist) to sell off opposition to their inordinate quest for wealth, fame and position at all the infamous "Port of No Return" in Badagry and Calabar.

The Aba Women riot was one of sad reminder to this fact. So sad, shameful and disgraceful and embarrassing for the African continent
Lols...

You people always blame the "enticed"... And forget mostly about the "enticer"

And na una still dey blame the Satan of the bible for enticing eve o. Media juggernauts just too dey effective. They've successfully removed themselves from the picture and allowed the victims blame themselves and forget the roots of the whole problems.

Whatever, una no too wrong sha, as dem go still blame werey for killing his own family because another werey for outside promise am something. But make una make sure to always dey draw the devil wey tempt those people in the first place, wetin you think say be their goal? And you think say dem don comot hand for Africa matter?

Go figure..

Lumumba was killed by the CIA and the Belgians. The US feared he was pandering towards the Soviets in his time of need. Some American media described him as a communist. But he was only anti west and not necessarily a communist. Mobutu was propped up to replace Lumumba,whose idea of a Congo free of foreign influence and control remains an illusion to this day. Mobutu's reign saw one of the worst pillaging of Congolese resources and open looting of Congolese treasury in its history. Then, the rumour was that Mobutu was so rich he could lend money to the country. Today, Congo dr is in its worst social and economic state. It's people remain poor while it's mineral resources are being pillaged by Western corps.

Is it any different from what is happening today? In 2015, we joined hands with our so called brothers to remove a government we thought is not doing well at the time only to realize our mistakes. In trying to correct the mistake, we discovered that while we were fighting for good governance, our brothers were actually fighting for ethnic superiority and dominance but played along with us .
This resonate with us from the south south especially.
We tot Tinubu and his people wanted good governance, we joined them to remove our own GEJ not knowing they were fighting for ethnic supremacy
Re: Black History; The Capture & Execution Of Patrice Lumumba(Graphic Video/picture) by franchasng:
He made a huge mistake.

In the game of global politics, you don't act in a hurry to reveal all your cards to your opponents.

He should have played along with the Colonial masters until he consolidated power and built a formidable military to defend him from aggressors and adversaries that must surely come.


If you want to grab power and sustain it, you must first build a defense (strong military), that is what Europeans used to conquer the world.

Russia knew they will be eliminated by the West, so they hurriedly went and acquired nuclear weapon which now acts as a deterrent for them if not US and Europe would have finished Putin since.

China did same. They silently grew their economy and military to stand as a defense for them.


Israel did same.


Adolf Hitler did same.

After the first world war, Germany caused so much havoc to Europe so they forced Germany to sign a treaty that forbids Germany from acquiring more military and they also forced Germany to be paying many countries millions of money as damages they caused during the first world war.

Hitler didn't reject these devilish agreements when he took over German leadership, he complied but silently and secretly Hitler started building up German military and initiated compulsory military training for all German youths starting from teenagehood.


By the time Hitler have acquired more than enough military power and weapons, he stopped paying the damages and refused to comply with all the treaties previously signed and started to seize all the lands he said belonged to Germany in the past. He seized Suduntein land and when France tried to resist he invaded France.


African leaders must understand this power game in order to defeat the West.


Focus on building formidable military.


Develop indigenous technology and invest massively in local craft and artisans. Invest in local research and development and also develop your own indigenous Military Industrial Complex like Biafra did in 1967 which Nigeria ought to have retained and by now Nigeria will be producing a lot of military wares and technologies locally to challenge the West



Lumumba was so in a hurry, African leaders and revolutionalists must learn to be patient angry

It wasnt the white man. It was black people that wanted the white man to what they wanted

You forgot the part where in order to stifle the truth, his k!llers were instructed to toss his body into a barrel of acid then Belgium got sent the only remaining piece of him which was his tooth and pulled out fingers during torture.

I coincidentally make this comment a few minutes after returning from a ban for making a honest remark.

It is a blind belief that the black man would love you when you fight for him.

Its still you Africans that sell out your brothers and sisters, and then come and write epistles about how the white man under-developed Africa like you didn't open the doors for them.

Funny how nothing has changed till today . Black people being “exported” for their skill set . A young and vibrant African population being enticed to come to their countries further depleting our Human Resources . The damage they did and are still doing to Africa will echo through the ages . I pray a generation will arise and destroy the chain .
It is NOT an error that there is no first world country in African
Re: Black History; The Capture & Execution Of Patrice Lumumba(Graphic Video/picture) by omoadeleye(m): 1:08pm On Aug 30, 2025
Well, i can opposed or support him now. Because those who write histories have a way of twisting events that can either be against or support the person they're writing about and i choose not to be controlled by any writer , it is what i see by myself or from who i trusted is what i will choose to believe and that will be on me.

Everyone has what they believe in and what they are fighting for.

What a wicked world. It is unthinkable that the UN sat unconcerned while Congo continue to boil.
THE SAME WAY UN STILL CONTINUE TO SIT UNCONCERNED WHILE GENOCIDE IS HAPPENING IN GAZA LIVE ON OUR TV EVERYDAY.


UN WAS DEAD LONG TIME AGO.

I DON'T KNOW WHY CHINA , RUSSIA AND THE REST OF THE WORLD CONTINUE TO DECEIVED THEMSELVES WITH THIS CORRUPT-BAISE-IMPERIALIST WESTERN CONTROLLED UN ORGANIZATION.

WHY CAN'T THEY ALL BREAKOUT OF UN AND FORMED A NEW WORLD BODY THAT REPRESENT ALL

Nothing. They were all useless. They either turned against each other, or eventually went into exile. The real enemy behind was Belgium and France.
The real enemy behind are his brothers. No one can overthrow you easily if your kinsmen are not involved.

Let's man for once!

It's surprised to know he was in power for a few months. Lumumba remains a hero in African struggle.
Re: Black History; The Capture & Execution Of Patrice Lumumba(Graphic Video/picture) by AngelahFlo(m):
It's a sad tale indeed. The handwriting was already on the wall when Mobutu betrayed him but he didn't learn from that. Very sad indeed. Reminds me of how our local chiefs helped in betraying their own kinsmen and women to the whites because of a bottle of square face(brandy) and looking glass!

When I see the Beyonces, Terence Howard and Snoop Dogg to name a few I remember our distant forebears who were sold as slaves and their descendants.
