Some of the African nations have had great presidents or how else Africa was going to be great without such leaders.
Just to mention a few, the greatest presidents African nations have ever had include Mobutu Sese Seko Kuku Ngbendu Wa Za Banga of DRC and Idi Amin Dada of Uganda who declared his title as “his Excellency President for Life, Field Marshal Alhaji Dr. Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, CBE.” In this case, CBE stands for “Conqueror of the British Empire.”
There is also Robert Gabriel Mugabe of Zimbabwe, but he is yet to graduate as one of the greatest presidents that Africa has ever had. His Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences is just around the corner!
You see, these presidents had/have the best interest at heart for the citizens of their country, and their country as a whole. They almost had mistaken their country’s constitution to be a will. And that is what has led Burkina Faso to be in crisis.
What about Zimbabwe? I don’t have to go to details but you know what is going on there.
Mobutu Sese Seko Kuku Ngbendu Wa Za Banga, do you know how he ruled during his period as the president? Again I don’t have all the time to tell you all the true stories about Mobutu Sese Seko Kuku Ngbendu Wa Za Banga, one of the greatest presidents Africa has ever had.
But let me mention a fact that Mobutu Sese Seko Kuku Ngbendu Wa Za Banga had wanted to be the president forever. He was a man with great potential.
Being a man with great potential and such an intellectual, he felt like there was no any other person who will rule Zaire in the greatest way like he did.
He got himself drunk so much with power. Without giving a thought to Zaire’s constitution, he demanded that all Congolese people drop their European names and in place of them for African names. That is how he also became to be known as Mobutu Sese Seko Kuku Ngbendu Wa Za Banga instead of Joseph-Désiré Mobutu.
And the leopard-skin toque Mobutu Sese Seko used to wear most of the time was symbolic. I won’t fail to mention how Zaire’s Media in 1975 was not allowed to mention any name of a person apart from that of Mobutu.
And the funny part or if not crazy is that when the news on television was just about to begin every evening, it showed an image of Mobutu descending through clouds from the heavens. That was the introduction for evening news on TV in Zaire back then.
