The Future of Tomorrow

The is considered like the future of the Africa of tomorrow. In Africa, especially in the Democratic Republic of Congo, this becomes just a simple slogan for people in power. How come the youth we don't empower today may become the future of our countries? This slogan has become a tool to manipulate young people when it comes to save the interests of those people in power.
In Africa, youth are used as militias by the authorities and this unemployed youth can only be submissive to anyone with a proposal for money in whatever activity.
Today some African governments are not pumping enough funds in education to equip and empower what the African authorities would like to be the future of the Africa of tomorrow as they are singing it through their chorus: 'youth are the future of tomorrow'. For me, tomorrow depends on what we can do today. Youth to be the future of tomorrow, they must learn it today not only by words but through city concret facts. If young people are not prepared through a proper and formal education, it means that African will be transmitted to the hands of barbarians.
Young people are being corrupted everyday with this chorus when in reality nothing is being done so that this youth can be what they are singing today.
People in power are sending their children abroad where they are getting a good edition which will guarantee their future while poor's children are in the mining and others being used ad milutias. We can imagine the kind of future we will be left to these youth which are the future of Africa.
At a tender age, youth are already exposed to corruption which becomes an infection in some countries in the African continent.
If really the African continent would like that the youth can be the future of tomorrow, they must start by investing in these young people instead of just singing that the youth are the future of tomorrow. African authorities must stop using youth for their own interests and teach this youth good actions.

Baptism Occasion

A family was planning for a party but they needed a reason why they must do it. one of the children suggested to all the family if their mother could be baptised so that they can get a reason for organising their party.
So the party got a theme and they organised the party under the theme of "BAPTISM". Nothing is done without a reason or a theme. Even a party has a theme, that why we have a party of wedding, birthday and I remember long time ago when someone finished with his/her studies an got a job; the family could organise a big party. I heard some people talking about "On the occasion of nothing" and they organised their party. On the occasion of nothing! Just on the occasion of nothing.

The freedom of movement in the Democratic Republic of Congo is a serious issue not in the war regions but in the free regions.
It is normal that in the war region freedom can be an issue but for the free regions it is not understandable. How to explain it when the country has leaders who can work on the issue? DRC is a big country which needs strong leaders who can deal with the issue of the security of the population. The Congolese population has suffered a lot and it doesn't know to whom to complain about the lack of security. People who were born before the nineteenth and who knew the Mobutu's era prefers that time than the Joseph Kabila's era which a bloodish one and deceives the Congolese population.
Everything in Congo DR are down from security to the economy. There is no progress in the DRC and this country doesn't need any revolution but a free Democratic, transparent and free elections. Years ago, DRC was a country counted among others in Africa economically speaking. The world refers to DRC only only when it comes to selling of weapons and other military equipment they want to experiment. Children and youth are sacrificed in this country because there is no proper education programme. The youth which are the future of tomorrow don't enjoy the present time and they don't even know if the way they'll be the future of the country for tomorrow. The youth are the future of tomorrow is just a slogan to keep quiet this growing population of the country.
The advent of Laurent Desire Kabila was applauded by all the Congolese population and this one could do better for the country. It is unfortunate that LD Kabila was stopped too early to fulfil his plan for the Congolese inhabitant. Western countries attributed him the brand of dictator but in reality, this man was a good president. When an African country get a president who can build the structures of the country, the western are coming up with a fake accusation to eliminate him. Kabila and Khadaffi were killed because of their plans and Western countries plotted against these two big names of the African countries.
The African Union have to work hard for the countries under the issue of Western countries to get involve in African affairs. Africa doesn't need the expertise of the Western in our continent.
The Democratic Republic of Congo is indeed a rich country and big which need to be led by a strong president and who understand the Congolese population. Congolese can't be beggers in some poor countries because of the potentiallity of this great country.
Congo doesn't need a revolution, if really the Katumbi and others want to access to the power, it's not through violence that they will get there but through fair, democratic and transparent elections.
Freedom is very important and every nations need it. Why Congolese cannot live in peace as other nations? Congo has a Parliament and a Senate who are paid with the money of the notion, why these institutions are they not doing their works but they are only behind the money of the poor nation?

How I Became a Christian, (Continuation)

My parents were taking me and my siblings to church every Sunday but it was unfortunate to notice that these two people could live a life as if they never knew or receive Christ Jesus in their lives.
My father was an alcoholic, could fight my mother when he was under the influence of alcohol and my mother who was a brave woman was was the one preparing and selling it.
As a young Christian when around you are living in conditions whereby people who supposed to help you are the one discouraging you it's painful and hard to take it.
For me all the mistakes of my parents were just lessons which helped me to live a better Christian life. I cannot say that I am living a perfect life but I am trying to help please my Lord and Savior, Jesus-Christ.
To be continued...

How I Became A Christian

In a mission of my cultural club in 1986, I discovered a group of young people praying, preaching and teaching the Bible.
During my visits, the first church to visit was the Roman Catholic Church but these young people didn't convinced me from all that they were doing during their activities. The second church on my list was the Pentecostal Church of 30th Community. The young people I met that day were singing, praying and also preaching but they diId not stamp for sure my humble life.
The third and last church which kept my attention was the United Methodist Church where really I found my place because I couldn't go back to my cultural club and report my founding. In this church, I found myself that I was living far from God although I was also a child born in a christian family. In December 1986 I decided to give my life to Christ after a pasted preached a powerful message.
I was lost but I couldn't discover it from myself, I was in need of assistance so that I could discover that Jesus-Christ loves me and gave his life in ransom so that I could be saved.
I can remember again that special day I gave my life to Christ Jesus after years. I didn't know how I left my bench and stood up to receive Christ in my life. A new relationship was established between a sinner I was and the Christ. I didn't regret giving my life to this Savior because he made me a new creation and he gave me a new family where I was free for reel.
I was a christian by name but when I came to Christ I realized that I never give my life to him. From the time I gave my life, a new name was given to me from my family to all my community. My elder started calling me 'papa' I don't know why, also in the community they named me 'paster'.
Before I came to Christ, I was not like the other young people who fight, insult, steal or doesn't assist elder people but totally the contrary from other young people.
Every mother could wish that I can marry her daughter and male parents wanted that their male children can be a photocopy or a copy and paste of my life. With Christ I became more than what I was before.

African Families

Africa is imitating and importing every culture from the western countries which are their colinialists. In Africa a family is an extended body.
In Africa, when a family is in trouble; all the village is touched by the problem. It's also applied when a family lost one of their family members. In my continent which is Africa where insuarence is a new culture, not everyone is insuared. When a member of a family is sick, all the extended family have to be engaged and support that oersin by contributing to health fees which are expensive.
As Africans are importing cultures, supporting each others during tough times become old fashion. There are people who prefers to intervene only when the person who was sick passed on. Africa must come back to its culture whereby families were supporting each others. Africa is just a family united.

A DOCTOR

Somewhere in Africa, a 13 years boys red an announcement about a doctor who was needed by a clinic. The boy was told by his father that his uncle was a doctor but the father forgot to tell the child that his uncle was a traditional doctor. The boy went to his uncle and tell him that he can submit his application because a doctor  was needed. The uncle without checking he wrote his application and submitted it to the clinic. The clinic didn't know that the man who submitted his application was a traditional doctor.
The time came for interviews and my doctor will bring his tools and roots to demonstrate his knowledge. The pannel was supprised to see  what the guy brought to the interviews.
The pannel invited journalists to witness what was brought by a doctor for interviews.

Dictators

A dictator is a person invested with supreme authority during a crisis, the regular magistracy being subordinated to him until the crisis was met.
A dictator is a political leader who possesses absolute power.

Western understanding of the form of ruling is totally different from the form our ancestors were ruling their villages or empires. For African, the way our leaders rule our countries is normal but the problems come when our presidents cannot offer jobs, food, education, etc... to their citizens.

In most cases in the African continent, Europeans and Americans are the ones creating wars and all the disorders in this land of our ancestors and our so called leaders are being made dictators by these two powers through these empty promises.   

In Africa we do not have dictators we never have them but they just rule as their forefathers were ruling their kingdom. It will take time with Africans to do this copy and paste of democracy in the African continent.

Mobutu, Kaddafi, Mugabe could be accused maybe with other crimes instead of accusing them that they were dictators. For Mobutu, he could not take control of his soldiers as he could not pay their sold. Kaddafi was a good leader, his only problem was the practice of this Muslim law (Sharia) in whole the country. And Mugabe him was just greedy. How come I grab farms with the intention of giving to my people but myself I took for myself more than 20 of these farms? For LD Kabila, he was a good president the Republic of Congo can never have. He ruled the country without an international credit and the time he passed on, he was paying soldiers and other public workers.

For me in Africa we do not have dictators but greedy and poor people who came in power with the intention of making money and forget the all nation.

Farming Today

Today in Africa farming is being considered like a lower work. Everyone want an office work while people are dying with hunger. The young generation where I belong to does not consider farm work but they they take it like a work for people who didn't go to school.

In 2017 my farm was invaded by a kind of locusts and these insects were squandering plantations. There was not insecticides to kill them and hectares of farms were in danger. People could not go to church on Sunday and when you ask them why they were absent, they were replying that they were busy at the farm to catch the locusts and burn them. I never had time to invest myself in this business of catching them or burning them.
A lesson I learnt from this locusts is that when we invest in God's work, he will give us more. The locusts were there up to the time I harvest but I also got a good production that year. I could not imagine that I could harvest a good production for my family and my friends.
When God created a man, he didn't create an office but he created first a garden where this human being could work. It means that farming work is a blessed one and when we invest in it, we will be blessed too. Today, parents don't want to orient their children to be agriculturalist, but every patent want his child to be a doctor, an ingeneer, architect and so on.
We are dying with hunger today in Africa because we only think to be an IT ingeneer or a medcin doctor. No one want to remain in our African village because of technology and when we migrate to town where there is no work we either become slave, thief, sexworker or killer.
I prefers to remain in remote area than to be in town where there is a high technology with an empty stomach. I'll advise my fellow African in remote areas to work hard just where they are and bring there whatever they want that migrate to town where they'll be slaves.
A village I visited somewhere in Africa inspired me a lot in such a way that people there where using electricity produced through solar system. This is the chipest way we can get electricity in our villages in Africa. There are countries in Africa where Internet is every where and when one invest in getting it will live like someone in town.
Our African governments should promote agriculture, farming (animals and fish...), carpentry, bricklaying... instead of refloat their own pockets.
Africans, we must be active than good speeches. Many good governments projects remain only on papers and their not fulfilled by their authors. If our governors like us their people, they must really work and invest their money and mind on the wellbeing of Africans. Africa needs all their daughters and sons to develop it.

HUMOUR

My father went to school where he studied only writing, counting and reading, the wife she married who is my mother she was an intellectual woman.

I remember the time they were having problems my father use to tell words to my mom, now when my mother was answering by mixing Swahili with French words; my father could not understand those words in French and the guy was very angry.
I do remember one day my father argue with my mom than she answered in this way:
- It is not possible my God (ce n'est pas possible mon Dieu...)...

My father now replied in his mother tongue in this way:
- How come a woman I married with my own money can insult me that "CE n'est pas possible?

Who could stop me and my other syblings to lough? We loughed at a point that even our father got angry against us and he chased us from home.


ERRATA
------------
Apology to all the readers for the lapsus manus which I committed in the last publication.
Indeed, instead of 'learder' I wrote 'leaders'.
My readers can read LEADER.
Thanks.
