Very few civilians can do what Traore is currently in Faso land, infact countries need soldiers to rule because civilians become too corrupt and very soon I see you being used to talk against Traore and you will soon fall into a corrupt opposition leader
Jonathan from Zambia
They are fooling us ,bobi wine has no chance,and he's not capable to lead a country like Uganda.
This idiot is no leader and has absolutely no leadership qualities bro you are puppet Africa is tired of idiots like you I hope the African youths are more educated and wiser than that
This Man is too much of hype
This is not the Leader
Black African countries needs a Traore to save their countries from the neocolonialists and build their countries for their ppl.
Every African child needs to grow up freely in their countries and achieve whatever they wished to achieve without the white man telling them what to do with their lives.
Black African countries needs leaders like President Assime Goita of Mali, President Traore of Burkina Faso and President Abdourahamane Tchiani of Niger.
These are the kind of leaders needed to save Black Africa from the neocolonialists and to use their minerals to build their nations to 2025 standard.
May God Almighty bless and protect these leaders.
😂😂😂bro am from Guyana I no it don't happen to Henny one just people that looks like you and me😂😂😂
🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
MUSEVEVI.might.not.be.doing.right
For.UGANDA.but.u.BOBI.WINE.is.A
Western.puppet.cause.u.asking
EUROPE.to.u.get.in.power.and
That.is.A.no.no.we.dont.trust.u
Big up bro
Bobi is puppett
He is not a trail blazer,he is Western salon slave
The West enslave,raped,theif and plunder Africa and it people when the people fight for their freedom and their things that a West theif and freedom it hijack the the Africa way of life freedom package how it wants so it can continue rape,loot killed Africans and demand that African follow imposed democacy so it can continue slavery,colonization.to hell bobi wine he will never oresident on the African continent ..Went to support a terroist state like UKrane
Africa needs visionaries and revolutionaries going forward, not celebrities. The resources must be used to develop the economies and the people, not serve on a plata to the west.
Bobi wine should go wash his balls and drink the water.
May be he should go to school with his money.
Ugandan youths would be foolish to elect Bobi Wine president.
The west supported him because they realize he would a great puppet of the west….
This fool even criticize the presidents of the SAHEL
specifically IBRAHIM TRAORE.
Viva Bob Wine for standing firm against tyranny oppression. Africa Unite
Thank you SMWX Ayeye. hahaha
ONE AFRIKA…ONE PRESIDENT…ONE ARMY…ONE PARLIAMENT…ONE CURRENCY…ONE PASPORT…
CIC JULIUS SELLO MALEMA for PRESIDENT…CAPTAIN IBRAHIM TRAORE for ARMY GENERAL…and all shall follow as PROF. MAGALISO SOBUKWE once announced…THE LAND FIRST and ALL SHALL FOLLOW!!!
I am Ugandan! Don't be fooled. This guy is being pushed by the west. He is a puppet. He'll never lead Uganda
Bobi wine is not the man for Uganda when that stupid old is out
Traore is what Malema thinks he is and Malema sit on the same table as the people he claims to be fighting. Malema did not go against the system but he created a political party do he can fit in. He is now part of the people who are milking the golden “South Africa”.
😂😂😂😂😂
My president
Who's bobi wine now
New? Always want to recycle this puppet that wants to implement the alphabet agenda to Africans. He is a despicable turncoat. What is that name, bobbi wine? Wine means hips girations in other lingo, that's his African name?
Bobi wine for ever. We will keep supporting you until Uganda 🇺🇬 is free and the grassroots are given freedom
If Bobi Wine is fighting for human rights then he's puppet for the west. Every African leader who fight for human rights and democracy is a puppet leader. Africa doesn't need democracy, Africa doesn't need democracy because all of the two are scam to Africans. The West controls us with their democracy and human rights. Africa before the whites transfer their bad spirits into us, Africa we under Kings. Why should we abandon our leaders and embrace the Western leadership? We want revolutionary leaders like the Sahel countries. If you don't like their leadership then you are not for Africans but for the west.
I agree with Bob Wine on most of the issues, but I disagree with him regarding President Traoré handing over power to the people. I believe what Bob means is that there should be elections in Burkina Faso so that citizens can choose their leader. However, holding elections in the “Land of Upright People” at this moment would be wasteful and drain valuable resources. It does not take rocket science to recognize the immense support the people have for their president. Almost 95% of the population stands firmly behind the youngest president in Africa.
Bob wine, the day you will come with a heart of Pan-Africanism, trust me people will like you more.
Dear Wine, please understand that there's no such thing as democracy.
We pray that the Ugandan election will be safe and honest and no lives will be lost. It’s time for freedom and peace
Of course yes, people all over the continent of Africa love Mr president Ibrahim Traore Africa really want new leaders not all the Colonia masters boys we don't need them anymore
Sir.Moderator the Host, l thank you for Guest of honour His Excellency Kyangulanyi Bobiwine sentamu about expressing his life and political carrier.Since my life born l have never seen an M.P whose audacity is to die for the common Man, is determined, patriotic & challenger of the new ldeas in the parliament.For sure the way he discussed well about age limit Bill l knew that the H.E president M7 the Championship for patriotism was to reward him with a gold medal but l feel betrayed when l heard that Gen.Mzee YKM7 is busy beating Hon. Kyangulanyi over the matter of showing the heart & love for patriotism in Uganda, since then l learnt that president M7 would rather accept defeat other than accepting the truth.so, allow me to conlude by saying that Hon. Kyangulanyi Bobiwine is more patriotic than incumbent president Mzee YKM7.l thank you all listeners. 45:18
New ones, yes, but not dumb and stooges
Younger leaders most welcome as long as they stick to the game…No puppetry
Bobi wine is not yet a men he is working for westerners that’s why he is talking rubbish about Traore. If he is not happy with what Ibrahim Traore is doing for his people then why do you want to be elected? You want to come and serve your masters in Europe or USA right???
You have been the one saying that Elections in Africa is being rigged on daylight that’s why you are not a president today isn’t?
Now you being an idiot saying that Ibrahim Traore should go for elections idiot why are you so interested in him going to election 🗳️? While you know that everyone or all the politicians that are benefiting from Western countries including YOU don’t like him for the good job he is doing in his country or in Africa as a continent, how will you think he will WIN even if he wins obviously we all know that they tried and still trying to get him killed but they are not succeeding so that will be an easy task to rig the elections.
So please BoBi or whatever you call yourself leave our African president Ibrahim Traore alone and go focus on music 🎶 if you don’t have anything important to talk about i beg
Nigeria and Africa, state and government officials who refuse to work for Africa and Africans in Africa and globally from 2025 onwards will be removed from power in Nigeria and Africa and globally. The states, governments and leaders of Nigeria and Africa need a leader like Ibrahim Traore.
Africa and African states, governments and leaders must demonstrate to the French President, the West and the Europeans and world Bank that Africa and Africans are no longer a playground or animals for the prosperity and exploitation for the West and Europeans.
People of Africa, God bless you for your good and great intelligence and courage to know and speak the truth about Africa’s problems in Africa and globally. Thank you. Africa and Africans worldwide are proud of you. When I call the partnership of the West and Europeans with Africa useless for Africa and Africans, I have my own reasons. It is not out of anger or resentment, but out of the realities of life and global happiness. The criminal economic policies of the West and Europe and the extreme criminal greed towards Africa and Africans can never defend or enrich Africa and Africans in Africa and globally. The partnership of the West and Europeans with Africa and Africans must end or a fair deal must be made between the West and Europeans and between Africa and Africans. Africa and Africans need independence from the West and the Europeans to achieve a better life for Africa and Africans in Africa and globally, and to achieve better states and good governance and good governments work in Africa and globally.
The West and the European are not afraid of losing Africa and the Africans. The West and the European are planning another way to stop and bury Africa’s efforts and glory globally, as the West and the Europeans have done in previous centuries. Africa and the Africans must rise up in this century, unite and fight again against the West and the Europeans and make the West and Europe poor instead of Africa, or make a fair deal and let the true story of Africa and the Africans remain globally forever, be recognized and respected globally forever. This is the most important thing in all the arguments and fights between Africa and the West and the Europeans, between states and governments, between politics, between the West and Europe in criminal politics and business, in the betrayal of Africa and the Africans that has gone too far. Africa and the Africans must stop the crimes of the West and Europe forever in Africa and globally. Otherwise, a fair agreement will be reached between Africa, the West and Europe, it must be a good agreement for Africa and the world. Enough of the unnecessary suffering of African peoples in Africa and globally.
As President Trump said, a shith.le country wgen the citizens cannot live their life without political interference. Rampant bullying by officials is the nark of a disgusting country with air heads at the top. They have no intelligence, so they can only show power in a weak way because of who they target. The poorer class has no real power. They are parasites just as the colonisers.
Do not let the West fool you. They are with the dictator no matter what they say.
Do these soldiers and police officers not want a better place for their offspring to live in.
Bt if u count Malema amongst the new needed leaders ,u wasting ur time the guy has no agender for black poor people,he even doesn't leave amongst them he doesn't use the hospital we using the list is endless bt one day u will know him
This guy right here has a genesis and a great leader, you can tell he is tolerant and very in touch with the realities of the disenfranchised, don't know him but I will be watching and vouching for him… Afrika rise up
God bless you abundantly Bobi Wine 🙏🏾🇺🇬
🔥🇺🇬 Bobi Wine speaks with truth, courage, and vision! A real freedom fighter whose words ignite hope across Africa. Thank you SMWX for this powerful platform—history is unfolding! ✊🏿🌍✨
