“In my country, speaking the truth can get you killed. Corruption leads to positions in Parliament and promotions to high-ranking roles in government. Crime makes people rich, untouchable, and places them above the law. Those who do the right thing are persecuted and assassinated by those in power, because every one of them is guilty of something. They protect and support each other to maintain their grip on power.”

“People who lack self-control cannot be trusted to lead a country. Our nation is facing a crisis of lawlessness, partly due to individuals in positions of power who struggle with addiction, whether to alcohol, drugs, sex, or pornography, and who lack basic digital literacy. These individuals are frequently involved in scandals and may unknowingly compromise national security by clicking on malicious links. As a result, sensitive state secrets and documents are leaked. Criminals exploit their vulnerabilities, gaining leverage over them. Ultimately, they become tools in the hands of those who seek to control and manipulate them.”

“In Africa leaders often prioritize money over people's lives. They allow Africa to be treated as a testing ground, where people are used to trial medications, chemicals, or weapons. Africa remains poor because valuable resources are often stolen or taken by force, with the approval of its own leaders or presidents. We suffer at the hands of our own leaders. They oppress us more than our enemies ever could. We suffer, starve, and die, not by nature, but by design. Due to poor leadership, we pay with our blood and lives.”

“The phrase 'What is your poison?' is no longer just a casual way of asking what you're drinking. Today, it reflects a grim reality. Our food and beverages are increasingly manufactured with toxic chemicals. They are literally poisonous. You eat or drink, and the next moment, you are gone. Before accusing someone of witchcraft or intentional poisoning, remember this. Many illegal manufacturers produce fake food and alcohol and sell it to our people. Be careful what you consume. That next meal or drink could be your last. The person responsible for poisoning you might not be your friend, family member, partner, neighbor, or enemy. It could be the manufacturer of what you consumed. Our politicians, government officials, and ministers share a profit with these companies, while we share death amongst ourselves.”

“Many of our leaders, government officials, politicians, and others involved in politics choose to sacrifice and sell our lives, safety, health, freedom, and security to gain wealth and live a luxurious lifestyle. They are enjoying the blood money because the money they have is the money they are paid to betray, oppress, abuse, control, and even kill us.”

“Politicians can literally burn the country to the ground and reduce it to ashes. They may collude with enemies or terrorists, enabling them and other criminals to break the law, if it means gaining votes or living a life of luxury. Many lack integrity and patriotism, showing loyalty only to corrupt activities that enrich them.”

“The sad truth is that most leaders, if not all, are choosing to trade people’s lives, safety, economy, freedom, and health for comfort and luxury. They are willing to let the people they lead, their own citizens, suffer and die, as long as they benefit. They turn a blind eye and ignore the consequences if it means receiving money or compensation.”

“People don’t care about the law, justice, morals, ethics, respect, right or wrong, rape, gender-based violence, assault, corruption, crime, fraud or human rights. They just want themselves and the people they love or like to get preference. To get away with everything wrong, not to be judged, and to be in power. They want people they don’t like or love to suffer, be persecuted, trialed, arrested, and to be removed from power. That is why they are biased and have double standards. Their concern has nothing to do with injustice but is just preference.”
