    #RobertMugabe turns 94 today but the celebrations are not as lavish as usual. This is the first time in 30 years he is not president of Zimbabwe on his birthday 🎂🇿🇼🎉http://bbc.in/2ontLND

        All those millions of dollars that were splashed at his birthdays in the midst of poverty could have been used to improve the lives of poor people. What a waste!

        Those speeches reminded me of an old scratched record that my uncle used to play on his old gramophone when he came back home drunk every evening. The record kept on repeating the same chorus over and over again until I felt nausated.

        Absolutely shameful for a once revolutionary hero who failed to leave, when the ovation was loudest. Robert Mugabe dug his own grave, so he must be buried in it. Absolutely shameful!

        IN-DEPTH: During his reign, he had been as Gaddafi of Libya. despite that, his people is totally deferent from the rest, very selfish, hogging properties, robbers, under curtain bribes. If the leader gets off the truck, there is no way resting others. BAD LEADER, BAD PPL.

        Well, he's is doing what the majority of Presidents are doing on the continent of Africa: Trying to stay in Power #Forever....Like the #Pharaohs. While the people suffer, disunity pervades...ripe for re-colonialization. 🧐
