Congoisbleeding: New Hashtag Draws Attention To Deadly Exploitation by ojogoddy(m): 5:37am On Oct 26, 2020
Exploitation in the mines of the Democratic Republic of Congo(DRC) is now receiving global attention thanks to a new trending social media hashtag, #CongoIsBleeding, that seeks to highlight the child slavery, deadly conflicts and corruption spawned by the quest to feed megacompanies with minerals.

The hashtag was conceived just around the time Nigerian protesters put together #ENDSARS so as to tap into the energy of the storm created by the far-reaching Nigerian protests against police brutality. In the last fortnight, #CongoIsBleeding has entered the trending lists in a few locations including Ghana, Nigeria, the United Kingdom, Belgium, France and South Africa.

Celebrities from Africa and outside including NBA stars have taken to Twitter to draw awareness and seek help. So what exactly is happening in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Who do we offend in Africa?

Beware Nigerians. This is the time to know and understand the true identity of those who cause tribalism on here, they are paid agents, they are neither from east or west. They have more than twenty accounts, they would create tribal related topics and make tribal comments with another accounts to cause chaos between southerners. Though, they have no conscience but you can try to educate them or better ignore them. They are easy to identify, use your head brothers.

They dominates this platform, they are agents of destruction. They create their topics mostly in the midnight.

This is what Nigerian politicians are gradually turning us into. But they failed on this attempt and it will not die down just like that. It will follow them for life. With all it’s implications.

Willie Lynch in 1712 wrote in his letter, "let's make a slave" wrote, "let's make a slave. What do I need? First of all we need a black nigger man. A pregnant nigger woman and her baby nigger boy....both horse and nigger are not good to the economy in the wild or natural state".


Sometimes, I feel that nature has cursed a black man. His conceives wickedness everyday.

In the latter part of that letter when the issue of slavery was discussed in US Congress, some of them were of the opinion that slavery was a blessing to negros. That a slave in United States is living a far better life than a free man in their native African land. The question is over 200 years later, are these things not true? Are Ph.D holders not leaving NIgeria to sweet streets in Europe and wash dead bodies in their mortuaries?
