I dont admire the west. They are hypocrites. But that does not mean we should support African sit-tightism.

What we should clamour for is Africa's progress and the prosperity of her people, and if sit-tightness is the way out, then so be it. It worked for China, Malaysia, Singapore and is working for Rwanda. Where a sit tight leader is working against his people, we should condemn it but where he is achieving results, like the case is with Kagame, he should've be applauded.

DeepsightX:
Tell me a single Nigerian President that has stayed on the seat for up to a decade at a time?
Military or civilian?

None! Who said there was?

DeepsightX:
Are his human rights abuses working? Is his determination to be a life president beneficial for democracy? Can you defend the particular issue of this opposition leader being barred from elections? Dont you know that such things simmer and will lead to an explosion?

Of course they are, Rwanda is making huge progress in the positive direction. I have seen from online comments that he is popular on Rwanda. Rwanda is one of the topmost tourist destinations in Africa. I don't give a damn about opposition leaders when the person in power is achieving results. As far as I am concerned, he or she may be a stooge, supported by the west. Afterall, the west supported opposition in Libya, see where it's now, the ousted Milton Obote and replaced him with Idi Amin (just imagine), they killed Thomas Sankara and replaced him with Blaise Campore who raped his country for almost 30 years under the supervision of France who were just sent out of Burkina Faso. Please I am tired, we can go on till tomorrow. We want good go ernance, it is what we should be clamouring for not the rights of opposition leaders to contest.

Akamon:
When this happens in your country, you will stand on the mountain top to cry evil, corruption and murder. As long as it's not Nigeria it's ok for you. What an evil thinking and expression

Lol It happens in my country everyday, twice on weekends. Have you forgotten Bola Ige, it wasn't Abacha that killed him, how about Zakibiam and the massacre in Bayelsa? There was this man called Dadiyata that used to attack Elrufai, one day he disappeared. Oga, we, with our four year rotational system perpetrate worse human right violation than Kagame can perpetrate in 10 lifetimes. Did Kagame order agberos to destroy ballot boxes and scare away voter from polling units on election day, did he go about tampering with softwares and data to establish himself as winner? He is too popular to do that. Please, leave the Rwandans alone, they have made their choice and the best we can do is respect it!

If you read the comments I made initially, I said the only people who stand to gain from a rotational system of government are politicians, most of whom are queuing up, waiting for an opportunity to rape the country. When you have a leader who is working hard to fix their country, you are sure to find such desperate politicians fighting them. They are not necessarily fighting for the well being of the country, they just want to have their own opportunity to rule for the sake of ruling. They opposed Gaddafi, they opposed Mao, they opposed Lee Kwan Yew and Kagame is not going to be an exception. In all these cases, they were dealt with decisively. When you lead for decades, the west will even support some of these people to stage coups against you, or if you show signs of weakness, they may arm them to rebel against you, when they fail, you will see them using Human Rights Watch and The Guardian to call you names, but the JAMB question is do the country men /women of these leaders want them in power? If they are rated high by their people, they should continue leading. If China or Singapore etc had succumbed to the allegation of human rights violation, their countries wouldn't be where they are today. Lee Kwan Yew jailed journalists and locked up opponents and Mao killed opponents too, but for the greater good of their countries.
The west who you admire are not saints, there are human rights violations they perpetrate too. Edward Snowden and Julian Assange are in exile today and we know why. What about Guantanamo bay and Iraq? They should stop disturbing us with unsolicited lectures on upholding human rights.

DeepsightX:
Why are you citing the VERY FEW leaders that stayed forever with good results and ignoring the FAR longer list of leaders that stayed forever with disastrous results? ? ? ?

Biya, Museveni, Eyadema, Mugabe. . . . the list goes on.

Do you support life presidency, yes or no?

Dont make it about whether the leader is good or bad, do you support the principle?

As for OBJ - Yaradua and Goodluck were good choices. Yaradua was the best we had but for his illness.

But we are not talking about Museveni and Eyadema, we are talking about Kagame and he is doing well. No need to fix what is clearly working. Besides, Dem Mobutu, Eyadema and Museveni were puppets utilized by the west for their enrichment.

Na $1 full tht table.

Exceed15:
It is not a royal title. Kigame should step away when the ovation is loud.

His people want him on power, we should not dictate for them!

Tonididdyx:
Why fix what's not broken?
Both rwanda and Russia are working....

Me I wonder for them o! And most Rwandans love their leader. Just the same way the west is complaining about sit tight leaders in china. China is working, they should mind their business.

DeepsightX:
Dont mention Balablu bulaba, he is a tragedy and a spiritual curse, an affliction.

But seriously, Kagame has a terrible human rights record.

What is the problem with him? Tell me sir.

tommy589:
Minus Kigali,where again in Rwanda

You need to visit other places without guided tour

Lol Rwanda has beautiful landscapes, hills valleys and beautiful volcanic mountains. It is one of the foremost tourist destinations in Africa and guess what? You can tour all of those places without the fear of getting kidnapped. Can you say that about Sambisa forest which also used to be a games reserve? They're doing fine! Give honour to whom honour is due.

DeepsightX:
Therefore its ok for one man to make it his divine right for life abi?

If the country works well then that's fine. How did Obj handing over to Yar'dua and then to GEJ and then to Buhari and Tinubu favour you? If OBJ retained power and Nigeria worked superbly well, how will that even be a problem? China got to where they are because Mao stayed in power for like 25 years. Singapore got this far because Lee Kwan Yew stayed in power for about 30 years. Kagame staying in power for about 30 years is serving Rwanda well too. Oyinbo deceived you into accepting democracy without any foundation, one president will be in power for 4 years and before he knows what's happening, it's time to leave, and in comes another one that will destroy everything he worked to build. We will never get anywhere that way!

DeepsightX:
Who told you Kagame is working? Propaganda.

Evidence at hand! Go to any social media, say Quora and ask about how Kagame is performing, out of 10 Rwandans replying you, 9 will rate him well. Kagame has a far, far better popularity rating among Rwandans than balablu has among Nigerians.

blamingthedevil:
Mugabe or Kagame?

That's silly auto correct! Kagame.

DeepsightX:
Another acclaimed hero turned despot. Human beings sef.
Kagame is a case that needs to be studied. A case of a tyrant pretending to be a modern democrat.
He is evil.

Rwanda is more beautiful and progressive than your country. Remove the log in your eyes.

God1000:
This Paul kagame and Vladimir Putin of Russia are the same, very paranoid and despotic.


How can one man be ruling since 2000

Majority of Rwandans love Kagame. Ruling since 2000 is not a problem if the leader is achieving results. Rotation of power after 4 or 6 or 8 years only favours politicians that are queuing up to rape your country.

Houseontherock1:
EFCC on top of everything? I think the NPF is supposed to be in charge of cases like illegal mining? Okay...maybe somehow, it's a financial crime...but then, robbery is also a financial crime and EFCC won't go after armed robbers

Is illegal mining an economic crime or not?

Neduzze5:
Mr. Chatinent, I'm sure you might be regretting this amount spent on Nairaland ads right now especially with the kind of comments you are getting on the thread.

I can assure you, your target market is not on this platform.

You'd be better off advertising on the likes of Twitter and Telegram at even lower amounts with way better results.

If you get up to two enquiries on this advert, I would be very shocked.

He is a disgrace and deserves what he got on nairaland. If Twitter will tolerate such unethical practice then he should go there. How can someone be boldly advertising to do research for people? That is irritating!

Thundafireseun:
This story no clear…

If any body (an adult or a child) is chocking the 1st thing that should be administered is water … clean water

Is this the 1st time the four years old boy is eating meat

Meat has never killed anyone in a civilized country

It has happened many times in the so called developed countries. No big deal about it. The parents have accepted their fate, ot is you that is still suspicious.

chatinent:
I remember a certain time a married woman wanted to visit me and she suggested a hotel. Now the thing is that she was as free as a bird and had no ulterior motives or intentions. In fact, she wanted somewhere confidential so that many eyes wouldn't see her discussing with a male figure since she felt that some people around there might know her husband.


But she forget the main thing...a hotel? I reminded her that while she was trying to save her marriage, she was also on the verge of losing it because if she is caught in a hotel with a man, she'll run out of explanations even though she's innocent.


E come bi like her brain no really go that side.

But she corrected her mistake immediately after I reminded her. And trust me, she has no ulterior motives. I didn't either.

She had ulterior motives, you were just too naive to notice it.

Edopesin:
Since when did a marriage proposal become law binding? It wasn't even written and signed or anything, just verbal something

If she pay make I hear, unless it's a banana Republic over there

Not all contracts are written, some are implied. That woman is a fraud and should pay in full!

clinician2x:
So when you divorce your husband your mother can go and marry her. because all of una be shameless pigs?

After sleeping with you, local man will start sleeping with the hole u came out from

Is this how Alexander the Great conquered the world?

Go and read the passage and see how the daughter was not married to the said man. He was just a boyfriend. Clerics have confirmed that her action is not out of order.

God1000:
public perception matters, No upright and sane mum will do such thing.

Maybe she's not her biological daughter

public perception should not be the determinant of all our actions. Her religion allows it, let her be!

What a man can do, an Igbo woman can do even better.

KingGBsky:
My problem with the military is that why are they not using same energy in fishing out bokoharam and bandits in the north. The rail way service has almost been derailed with kidnapping and killings.

what is wrong with you people? are you suggesting they should have allowed her to go scot free or that they should not have attack the hide out of the IPOB?

Nairalander248:
That one that says if he pay them let the obituary be real na real baztar.d. he doesn't know if he need loan tommorow he will pay those guys back because his BVN was used...

they are an illegal entity so the truth is they cannot do anything with his bvn.

The beauty of a serpent is worth less than the 'P' in Psychology to me. Kanuri tufiakwa!!!! You guys are a disgrace to Nigeria, a big disgrace to humanity. You carefully nurtured a terrorist til he became a behemoth that defied control. You have destroyed your land. Nothing beautiful about it.

Ahmed0336:
Better daughter.

Before some sadists will call her a particular farm tool, please read where she said she has been building this house for years(meaning she was actually working hard) and again it's not a duplex but a six bedroom home.

I say make I draw una ear before one hater go call her unprintable names

Who asked her how long she has been building it. It is only the naïve that don't know how she built it. Mstchew

WibusJaga:

This would be a very good consolation for Morocco & Africa.

Morocco and Arabs sir!

Must we have an asociation or union for every damn thing in this country?one day we will hear of association of mad men and women in Nigeria. mstchew

Dino looked like he wanted to cry.
