Rwanda’s Paul Kagame Wants A 4th Term (26228 Views)

Point of correction, he never forced himself on his people, unlike Gadaffi. 90% of Rwandans love him. Do you know the way he treats his citizens? Go to Rwanda, a place once known as war zones and you'd weep for Nigeria.

Are you aware as small as they are, they have a national carrier, the same thing which APC and Hadi Sirika scammed over 200m Nigerians with? There's a lot to talk about Rwanda and Paul, their good leader.



Kagame took power through War

Kagame took power through War
He rather, led the RPF, the force who actually ended the genocide war. Are you aware that over 800,000 of his tribe died in that war? But he still led to restore peace instead of unleashing more genocide on hutus in revenge. I read deeply of the Rwandan war apart from visiting the country

Which iron fist?

The people of Rwanda love that man and always say good things about him.

And Paul Kagame has been doing a great job in the country.

That's all that matters.
He doing a very good job and his people love him for that. But he should try and raise a worthy person to succeed after his 4th term. By then he will be 73 years old.

Sit-tight mentality of an average African leader.
Thank God, ours is maximum 2 for presidency & governorship.
A leader who can't mentor a successor is a failure.Paul Kagame should have influenced lots of Rwandans who will be capable to take over from him this year.
Rwanda is a shining hope in the Africa continent,but I hope Paul Kagame's move won't be counter-productive.

Praise-singing, graveyard quietness and choreographed smiles are all deceitful hallmarks of dictatorship because behind the façade you see is an unhappy mentally-shackled people yearning for fresh air and freedom.

Look, the disadvantage of what Paul Kagame is doing is that for several years, everything will be about him and revolve around him so much that there will be no solid succession plan in place and the political class and the citizens will have poor democracy learning curves. Yes, there are physical developments but developmental mentality will be missing among the civil servants and citizens.

A dangerous lacuna is created and if Paul Kagame dropped dead today, everything he builds crumbles from infighting for power. It happened with Félix Houphouët-Boigny in Ivory Coast. It happened with Mohamed Siad Barre in Somalia. And if he succeeds in installing his son, the damage goes on and day of reckoning is merely postponed.
If anyone stays in power contrary to your mental configuration is automatically a dictator. Did the people of Rwanda complain to you??
Because it happened in somalia doesn't make any difference. This is the part the people of Rwanda has chosen so be it.
Your country has been changing leadership every 8years, yet no positive indices to show for it.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome said "the people deserve the leaders they elect.

so there is nobody that can do more than him in the country? No matter how good is the president,they should have a particular tenure that they can govern and step aside when the tenure ended.
They need to work on their constitution.

The only man who could take the bull by the horn.
The only man who cancelled ethnicity and brought a war thorn nation to a tourist empire.....


Rule me with such but make my living better. I don't mind.

Ask Igbos who are living in Rwanda, they will tell you how that country looks like US to them.

Only thing about Rwanda is the high tax in importation asides that, that country is better than Niger 1000x. No cap


Person wey never go no know.

Get there international port and see how you'll be a king .

Compared to this bleeped up nation with its so called democracy yet can't even attain any level of significance.... Trash

First, people don't sing the praises of Paul Kagame. That country mirrors hope that a purely black African country can still make progress, because all facts show otherwise.


Yes
But does he have to do that with Dictatorships?
This is one of the problems of universal adoption of democracy.
Mugabe warned that Africans should develop African democracy.....the type of democracy that is suitable for Africans is quite different from the type that will work in Europe or Asia.
For instance....he posited that Africans are used to having kings and a king only got replaced at death or abdication....so African leaders shouldn't be limited to two or three .....but should be allowed to rule for life or very long.
But Western democracies won't have any of it....it's either you practice democracy the western way or not.
All over Europe there are still Monarchies in place and the governments of those countries are subjected to the throne. All Rishi and his government does will still have to be endorsed by King Charles.....who is deceiving who

But from Singapore to Rwanda we have seen that for there to be development in Africa or Asia it isn't the same process as in Europe.

If we want to talk as democrats ...... We shouldn't regard Lee Kwan Yu or Paul Kagame....they are dictators.

Power is transitional, Paul kegami should take a rest and let someone else take over

I don't care if he turned Rwanda to Dubai he must not go for fourth term that sit tight syndrome should stop

All those hailing dictators don't know the implications.....he is simply saying no one else can rule the country but him.....which is a very big lie and a slap in the face of the citizens .
Me I don't regard any long term ruler and a democrat even if he goes through election periodically

Lemme tell you..Rwandese don't like the man..
The reason they say good things about him is because once you are being caught saying negative things about him, it's jail immediate..

If you want to confirm ask a friend living there..

cheesy cheesy cheesy See talk. So a man should be allowed to rule for life as a president? Lol. Even the King of England rules for life as a ceremonial head. He has no say in Government. So Africans should adopt Presidency for life? If Mugabe truly said this he must have been on drugs. Power drunk people always look for excuses to hold on to power. There is nothing wrong with democracy only that African leaders do not want to abide by the principle of it. Rule for two of 4yrs each and get the f*ck out of there. People like Kagame are making democracy look bad because he has changed the constitution for his personal interest and there is no way there won't be voter suppression or apathy. Same with Uganda. Presidents trying to rule for life. Democracy on the surface but not in principle.

@the bolded.... King Charles is the head of government...Rishi is his PM has to be an MP because they practice parliamentary democracy

The point is there should be home grow democracy or democracy that fit a people.
If we humans belong to different races colour and faiths there nothing that says we shouldn't have different democracies...... Democracy is failing in some places because of the universal adoption of western democracy
