The recent crisis in the DRC brought to my memory Mobutu Sese Seko who once was the Military ruler and President of The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). In 1961 Mobutu installed a government that arranged for Lumumba's execution. During his rule, he amassed a large personal fortune through economic exploitation and corruption. He presided over a period of widespread human rights violations. Under his rule, The DRC also suffered from uncontrolled inflation, large debt and massive currency devaluations. His luxurious palace complex which he spent £100m to build for himself at Gbadolite featured a vast swimming pool, a gold-topped fence, an international airport big enough for a Concorde plane to land. Today that luxurious palace complex is in ruins. In May of 1997, rebel forces led by Laurent-Désiré Kabila overran the country and forced Mobutu Sese Seko into exile, by this time he was already suffering from advanced prostate cancer. He died three months later in Morocco. Estimates of his personal wealth range from $50 million to $5 billion. He was known for extravagances such as shopping trips to Paris via the supersonic Concorde aircraft. In all of this he didn't leave a good legacy or life for his people and still didn't take any of the wealth he enjoyed to the grave with him. Instead he enjoyed himself at the expense of the people but to what end? Improve the life of your people especially here in Nigeria and in all of Africa The Motherland. Because at the end of the day the cars, clothes, watches/jewelry, house, everything including you is ephemeral. |

This post is tempting sha but it's the usual way forex bandits use to lure people and take money from them. OP if this forex is so profitable for you, it's not in your best interest to give it out to strangers online. Many have done this thing before you, this your format is not new.

Op just so you know people are struggling in almost all countries of the world. Read or watch the news of countries like USA, Canada, Italy, Luxembourg etc there is high cost of living, plenty taxes and depression in those places. Nigeria is not the best of places but don't push the Japa thing like it's the best solution ever. If you can afford it Japa if you cannot face your front with your life, no let anybody pressure you

Drhay: Bro I like this your reply sometimes it's not like some people don't have mentors, maybe their mentor is not reachable at that point in time that's why we come here to ask questions/seek solutions. Even the experts of today once started small or had humble beginnings. 3 Likes |
