I live in neighbouring Cameroon and have never heard of this, not even rumors or childhood stories. This man's effort just went to complete waste. Worst but greatest cosplayer of all time. What a joke
Even while his story seems quite sad, he was a cruel dictator that killed many people in horrific ways, including 100 children over not wearing school uniforms, and plundered the people of their money. The Central African Republic is truly better off without him. That said, cosplaying 10/10
Yea that’s the delusion you fall into after years of slavery, colonialism and exploitation. So, yes! That was a great example. The rapper and the dictator have something in common.
I bet he began to read Napoleon's biography, saw the countless battles and political intrigues and was like "Nah, i'll just skip to the coronation part"
@@dangerjoe8911 not everyone, most people would likely choose a political position that actually have any political power, monarchs nowadays have none. Rather than an emperor I would personally like to serve as Secretary General of *insert only political party in his country * to make it less grandiose so people wouldn't protest.
If I was a Billionaire I would buy a Ramdom Island in the middle of the Pacific ocean Expand the island by Daming parts of the surrounding water Terraform the Island make it bigger buy exotic Animals and Plants to make the Island Habitable and Start building Ports a Small air port a Military base in a Artificial Island Build Houses apartments Modern Farms Government Buildings and Monument and turn the Island a Country and make use the Libra the French Frank and the Australian Dollar as the Official Money
Before he moved against him Dacko was warned about Bokassa, in response he said "Bokassa is only interested in collecting medals, he is too stupid to pull off a coup d'état"
The same happened to obote with Amin, he underestimated him🤣🤣🤣. Most civilian leaders are so naive and get easily fooled by the salutes and respect military men give them 🤣🤣
@@mikewilled8331 No..your thinking of blaiming France or west in general is wrong !! In politicks only one rule remains : nation states do not have friends only interest thus dictators work no for there nation only themselfs and real nations with strategy in mind do operate in best of there nation.
It's the opposite - they financed him to continue the exploitation and cut ties with Gaddhafi. He was form the other side and France needed to pay again for the old deals.
@Eve Angélique It was a bit of both. We shouldn't pretend that colonialism never happened, but we shouldn't pretend that every person in developed nations was a participant in colonialism either.
@@richardbradley2335 remember Japan wasn’t always like that until it was defeated in WW2 they had totally different culture much more right wing and patriarchy
Abel Aluma Agebe because many people can only find fault to boost their own low self esteem. Yes, this is an excellent presentation. The content, audio, and visual components are done with a high level of accomplishment. The narrator is easily understood, his pronunciation clean and crisp. Thank you for being a positive voice.
I remember this. His son, the "Heir apparent" wearing his little admiral's uniform (in a landlocked country) passed out from the heat. The Central African Republic was at the time one of the poorest countries in the world.
or maybe its because they still believe in sorcellery, and are used to beating, burning alive, stoning to death, chopping the flesh of the pretended "sorcerers" by the people who live there... It's not always the fault of the politicians or even dictators. The centrafrican people are still in middle age. The "Tire Torture" is praticed there and this says a lot about them.
Africa: You were supposed to destroy the imperialists, not join them! You were supposed to bring prosperity to central Africa, not leave it in darkness! Bokassa: I hate you! Africa: You were my brother Bokassa! I loved you...
Check your info... Bokassa actually brought his country to an all time High. Who cares if he declared himself Emperor if People were safe and wealthy. While now they might be "free" but are starving and under constant attack from Boko-haram and other islamiste group
Actually this dude was pretty famous in Vietnam back then for going to Vietnam and marrying a Vietnamese commoner and turning her into a 'princess'. I think he has a bunch of Vietnamese daughters living abroad now.
Not entirely accurate, he has one Vietnamese daughter. He married a Vietnamese woman during the Indochina War when he was a French soldier and had a daughter with her. But he left after the war. When he gained power he sent an envoy to find his daughter Martine. One woman came forward claiming to be the daughter but it was a lie. He later found the real Martine but adopted both girls. He never reunited with the Vietnamese woman he married all those years ago, but he did have up to 17 wives from various parts of the world.
But it seems to becoming a pretty fruitful mentality in most of Europe now if you truly open your eyes. That's why America wasn't with that global "acceptance" agreement.
@@makeitreal4848 the impact of french rule over africa is really complicate to judge, mostly bad yeah... But at the same time they made huge investment in our territory, and vaccinated our population against desease... Once again i'm not for colonisation, but saying that nothing was good is an error, most of us didn't knew how it was like, and a lot of elder have different version about all of that
I've heard of Bokassa and remember seeing the coronation pictures, but this is the first video I have found on him. Your research and narration were extremely well done and I like the bit of humor as well. Thank you for this.
@@user-tr1gc6yi2h Except Hitler was *nothing* like Napoleon, Napoleon preached "liberty, equality, fraternity" whereas the nazis when they invaded France and established Vichy France changed it to "Work, Family, Fatherland" because they weren't fans. Declaring war on half the known world doesn't make you anything like Hitler, if it wasn't for Napoleon the European absolutist monarchies would have continued and serfdom would have continued, which ended during the Napoleonic wars because of the Napoleonic wars.
@@omega1231 thank you for contribing. Anyway yes I knew that, but my comparison was mainly on the territorial extension they conquered, nothing to do with the ideology which is completely different. Good point still
I love how even in the official photos of the ceremony tons of the people participating have this look of bored, defeated apathy that just says "We got freedom from colonialism for this!?"
“Obsession with all things European” 🤷🏿♂️Sady many Afrikans and Afrikan descendants (so called black people) around the world suffer from this obsession
His problem wasn’t that he declared himself emperor, but his belief that just declaring himself emperor would make him one, or, more accurately, that just being an emperor would improve the position of his country or himself without actually running his country well.
Compare Mr. "Bokassa I" to Haile Salassie, a man who built his country into a force so powerful that Europeans and even the United States were receiving him for state visits...in the 1950s and 60s. The difference between a real emperor and a guy trying to play one.
@@FC-88 I don't understand why people keep saying this as if Europeans did Africa some big favour. Africans have always been living in simple dwellings and in the event that Europeans didn't bring two-storey houses, they would still be living happily in them. People don't need luxuries to be happy, especially when such luxuries were unknown to a group of people.
I hardly knew anything about him. All of Africa's mad dictators are so well documented. The story behind his madness is actually heartbreaking but as stated does not excuse his actions. His life should be looked at in more detail. Great video as always!
O-KAY, I don’t think I’ve ever been called an “ignorant peasant” before. Such colourful use of words…an uneducated jack**s as well. Guess my architecture degree is a meaningless piece of paper and being South African inherently equates to being ignorant. You do realize though that the video is captioned “The craziest African Dictator YOU’VE NEVER HEARD OF”. But what do I know, I’m a simple uneducated, ignorant jack**s South African peasant.
@@njabulombuyazi5132 now because you're coming from South Africa, you're insulted....I am sorry my brother for the absurdity of these imbeciles ,now they are the ones who have the mentality that video is in discourse in
Naw. I remember one African country very poor....had a space program...I kid you not was like a metal trashcan w dynamite under it and bike helmets for the astronauts
I read a bio of him years ago in a book about Africa's leaders and their penchant for this insanity; when school children protested the cost of uniforms they were forced to buy, they were imprisoned and Bokassa personally participated in beating many of them to death in the prison. In one of his palaces (today ruins) after he was toppled, they found a man's torso in his freezer.
This video really skipped over the nightmare this man really was. Although this was the first time I've heard about his childhood and how he may have become so screwed up in the head. I'm sure most people who make videos on Bokassa don't want to risk sounding sympathetic to a child murdering monster (and probably a cannibal), but I think it's important to understand how people like this become what they are.
ColerainSwaggify Bosnia is a tiny country with a conflict that lasted several years! Africa is a continent where backward existence is the norm. Superstition dominates over logic and reason. Bronze Age economic and cultural paradigms govern rather than democracy and merit. The conflict in the former Yugoslavia cost 250000 lives and this was the only conflict in Europe in the last 75 years. On the other hand the conflict in the Congo alone has cost over 5 million lives in a 10 year period. This is like comparing speeding with murder! Remember this lesson!
Taharqa Mansa Truth is truth! It’s not a story! Example there was no mass rape of female children in the west during the AIDS epidemic but all over Africa superstition led men with AIDS to rape children because of a idiotic believe that having sex with a virgin could cure the disease. This while African leaders openly rejected the scientific research regarding the disease. The list is endless!
Meanwhile, Napoleon in real life was spartan in look on campaign. Few to no medals, a regular hat worn sideways to recognize on the field better (IIRC), and an overcoat. His wardrobe was simple, unlike this guy lol.

@@1313tennisman Sounds like a good old stereotype to me, to be fair. Like, you know, Italians are lazy, Germans can't laugh, English are boring and stuff. But I'm French, so I guess I can't judge. I assume you guys have some examples to give ?

Bro I don't have a drop of African blood in my veins and this is hard to watch. It's like an 8 year old playing dress-up with his mom's credit card, except it's a grown man obsessed with gaudy Pre Victorian age royalty and the credit card is the national budget of his nation. I can't believe he didn't get laughed out of his coronation for how ridiculous he looks
I feel like some racist should make a Obama reference to that. I mean Obama was American born and not a stupid clown. But a decent president but someone has to point it out
>implying actual monarchs like Hirohito and Pahlavi would actually take him seriously instead dismissing him as some Nutjob African dude with a extreme case of NPD lmao.
@@Ch-ew9tm Yes but it does not have the same meaning in France. Also the idea that the revolution ended the monarchy is false. We had two emperors and three kings after the Revolution.
legkip legkip Yeah, sure, let's take out any incentive and regulation and go back to the tribal age, then be slaughtered by our neighbors at night, with some being sold as slaves, sounds great...
legkip legkip Humans naturally form their own hierarchies and social structures, that is why they sprung up in the first place. Destroying the ones in place would only result in temporary confusion and, well, anarchy, until another authority comes and takes it’s place. It is the natural way of things. People of naive and unintelligent thinking like you would be the ones who would need an authority to hold their hand the most.
@@junichiroyamashita SInce a lot of you are asking for the meaning, here is my interpretation : First the context, it's an old Swahili saying. It means that when people who aren't used to having wealth get it, they become greedy. The poor person will overindulge in food, they get fat to the point that their butts make a sound while they walk (the humor of the butt clap sound is lost in the translation). Back then fat people were not common and they were stereotyped as greedy with no control of how much food they eat. This is just my interpretation. Like most sayings, there could be many other interpretations.
I'm ashamed to be african. Tho I'm not from this particular country, the self hate and detrimental mentality of our people is a never ending disease. History is already repeating itself with the Chinese interests of our continent. We never rise as a collective, it's always an individual standing on top of the rest. Our 'leaders' can not compete against other people in this world, so they compete against their own people in classism. We are crabs in a bucket. We are regressing, and I can see everyday.
@@theturkanabus3610 He didn't say he was ashamed to be a tyrant. Have you heard of Mandela, Sankara,, Balewa, Nkurma, Azikwe, Anta Diop, and many many more heroes he could be proud. He could have said he is ashamed of this tyrant
..................................................its that true? did this happen because he could not beat France sherlock? ...France had been pushed out as a colonial power by then, do u not know that. they literally did beat France, as anyone could. stop playing on the web now.
This was never about French power over the region so much as its continued influence to the detriment of its peoples. the wanting to be like cold greedy thieves from Europe is what is sad.
@@skyjuiceification this comment is more about the French influence on Bokassa's personal life, not the entire region, from where the French had already retreated
"emperor of central africa by the will of central africa...." I dont think the people are willing to make you the emperor bud....you just wasted quarters of your economy
To fair If your gonna pick a person too admire why not the greatest Warrior emperor to ever live in the history of the world Obviously he went too far But Just because you admire another culture and you take and learn from it to add to your own only makes you stronger For example jazz music witch comes from black culture in the United States takes influence from French Spanish and British folk music European cultures they ended up making something new that’s part of there own culture
This reminds me of what Churchill said about Hitler. That Hitler wanted the empire of Napoleon but without the wars. Seems the same can be said about Bokassa. Edit: The Shah of Iran made the same mistake as Bokassa. Holding a lavish coronation costing half a billion in a temporary city built by the ruins of Persepolis. He bulldozed houses and ran out the poor who were already starving.
All dictators keep the citizens ignorant because to educate the people would be giving the people wisdom and power. This is the golden rule in any dictatorship.

And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.

For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. bible.com/bible/1/mat.24.1-39.KJV Matthew 6:9-15 KJV After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. bible.com/bible/1/mat.6.9-15.KJV (How to receive the gift of The Holy Spirit) Acts 2:38 KJV Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. bible.com/bible/1/act.2.38.KJV Feel free to copy this message and send it to others, Jesus Christ is coming soon!

Those "dreams and goals" of his were only created through the figurative and somewhat quite literal destruction of his young life. They were created through the absolute destruction of his spirit. That's what colonialism did to him. He internalized the power and dominance of the french into his psyche just to keep his soul alive.
How is it embarrassing? His country failed hard for many years and continues to fail, so he tried to emulate a successful country. It may not have worked but can you blame him for trying ? I can see his perspective
Sem Alvarez That’s just how humans work in general. We are all inherently selfish beings to the bottom. Beyond our own minds, our bodies may not put our survival above that others, but we will all put our prosperity above others. It’s a sad truth, but you can’t fundamentally change human nature
@@semdavidanger likewise to be pragmatic, people should only seek to emulate whats good about some culture, and understand where the reference falls short. Unlike in this case.
This is very well done. I'm from sudan and you were absolutely right about the miryad of African dictators and the self defeating mindset that plagued many Africans. It's unfortunate but things are hopefully changing for the better. Great video💯👌🏽

Just like the French
Not entirely accurate, he has one Vietnamese daughter. He married a Vietnamese woman during the Indochina War when he was a French soldier and had a daughter with her. But he left after the war. When he gained power he sent an envoy to find his daughter Martine. One woman came forward claiming to be the daughter but it was a lie. He later found the real Martine but adopted both girls. He never reunited with the Vietnamese woman he married all those years ago, but he did have up to 17 wives from various parts of the world.

His problem wasn’t that he declared himself emperor, but his belief that just declaring himself emperor would make him one, or, more accurately, that just being an emperor would improve the position of his country or himself without actually running his country well.

Compare Mr. "Bokassa I" to Haile Salassie, a man who built his country into a force so powerful that Europeans and even the United States were receiving him for state visits...in the 1950s and 60s. The difference between a real emperor and a guy trying to play one.

Giscard à accepter des diamants de la part des Bokassa durant ses années en tant que ministre, juste avant son mandat
I read a bio of him years ago in a book about Africa's leaders and their penchant for this insanity; when school children protested the cost of uniforms they were forced to buy, they were imprisoned and Bokassa personally participated in beating many of them to death in the prison. In one of his palaces (today ruins) after he was toppled, they found a man's torso in his freezer.
This video really skipped over the nightmare this man really was. Although this was the first time I've heard about his childhood and how he may have become so screwed up in the head. I'm sure most people who make videos on Bokassa don't want to risk sounding sympathetic to a child murdering monster (and probably a cannibal), but I think it's important to understand how people like this become what they are.
@@ressljs His wartime experience probably didn't help things any mentally either.

>implying actual monarchs like Hirohito and Pahlavi would actually take him seriously instead dismissing him as some Nutjob African dude with a extreme case of NPD lmao.
you would think if Bokassa loved all things French he would avoid becoming a monarch 😂 was never going to end well was it? very interesting video!
Emperor, not monarch
Emperor. We love our emperors here in France. Napoleon was our true leader.
@@sharefactor an emperor is a monarch
@@Ch-ew9tm Yes but it does not have the same meaning in France.
Also the idea that the revolution ended the monarchy is false. We had two emperors and three kings after the Revolution.
from what I know is that France just really hates the bourbon monachry and likes napoleon and his son? Not sure but the napoleon who lost to Germany
Perhaps, rather than "new and authentic", new African leaders should work on being reasonable and just.
legkip legkip no offense, but that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard
legkip legkip Yeah, sure, let's take out any incentive and regulation and go back to the tribal age, then be slaughtered by our neighbors at night, with some being sold as slaves, sounds great...
...no hope...
legkip legkip
Humans naturally form their own hierarchies and social structures, that is why they sprung up in the first place. Destroying the ones in place would only result in temporary confusion and, well, anarchy, until another authority comes and takes it’s place. It is the natural way of things. People of naive and unintelligent thinking like you would be the ones who would need an authority to hold their hand the most.
@@gamerito100 I don't think that's what happened in that age. But not having governments doesn't sound like the right move to make.
Reminds me of the Swahili saying "Masikini akipata, matako hulia mbwata" which translates to "When the poor gets [a fortune], his butt cheeks clap"
W H A T
What does this even mean?? 😭😭😭✋✋
What a stupid saying !
What would that mean?
@@junichiroyamashita SInce a lot of you are asking for the meaning, here is my interpretation :
First the context, it's an old Swahili saying. It means that when people who aren't used to having wealth get it, they become greedy. The poor person will overindulge in food, they get fat to the point that their butts make a sound while they walk (the humor of the butt clap sound is lost in the translation). Back then fat people were not common and they were stereotyped as greedy with no control of how much food they eat.
This is just my interpretation. Like most sayings, there could be many other interpretations.
I'm ashamed to be african. Tho I'm not from this particular country, the self hate and detrimental mentality of our people is a never ending disease. History is already repeating itself with the Chinese interests of our continent. We never rise as a collective, it's always an individual standing on top of the rest. Our 'leaders' can not compete against other people in this world, so they compete against their own people in classism. We are crabs in a bucket. We are regressing, and I can see everyday.
Preach
Isn't it self hate when you said you are ashamed to be African?
@@successfulpeople is he supposed to be proud about people like Bokassa?
@@theturkanabus3610 He didn't say he was ashamed to be a tyrant. Have you heard of Mandela, Sankara,, Balewa, Nkurma, Azikwe, Anta Diop, and many many more heroes he could be proud. He could have said he is ashamed of this tyrant
@@successfulpeople he should be proud of Nelson Mandela?
Ignorance is bliss
When you can not beat France, become french.
..................................................its that true? did this happen because he could not beat France sherlock? ...France had been pushed out as a colonial power by then, do u not know that. they literally did beat France, as anyone could. stop playing on the web now.
This was never about French power over the region so much as its continued influence to the detriment of its peoples. the wanting to be like cold greedy thieves from Europe is what is sad.
@@skyjuiceification this comment is more about the French influence on Bokassa's personal life, not the entire region, from where the French had already retreated
This channel is absolutely golden. One of the best finds in the latest months. Keep going. I binged your channel. YT is lacking African edu channels.
"emperor of central africa by the will of central africa...."
I dont think the people are willing to make you the emperor bud....you just wasted quarters of your economy
🤦🏾♂️the self hate and delusion is STRONG in this one.
Because the Europeans instill that in the countries they colonised.
To fair If your gonna pick a person too admire why not the greatest Warrior emperor to ever live in the history of the world
Obviously he went too far
But Just because you admire another culture and you take and learn from it to add to your own only makes you stronger
For example jazz music witch comes from black culture in the United States takes influence from French Spanish and British
folk music European cultures they ended up making something new that’s part of there own culture
Tip: When emulating a major figure, do so while understanding what made them great. Otherwise, you'll look like a fool.
This reminds me of what Churchill said about Hitler. That Hitler wanted the empire of Napoleon but without the wars. Seems the same can be said about Bokassa.
Edit: The Shah of Iran made the same mistake as Bokassa. Holding a lavish coronation costing half a billion in a temporary city built by the ruins of Persepolis. He bulldozed houses and ran out the poor who were already starving.
It wasn’t his coronation, it was the 2,500 anniversary of the foundation of the Persian Empire.

It amazes me how black leaders anywhere around the world never invest in educating the youth or uplifting its people
All dictators keep the citizens ignorant because to educate the people would be giving the people wisdom and power. This is the golden rule in any dictatorship.
You dont hear about the good black leaders, what about Botswana?
What about Thomas Sankara?
Jesus Christ is Lord and he loves you all soo much! The Lord is coming soon! Tomorrow is not promised! There IS A point where it's too late! Get saved before it's too late! He came to free you from addictions, torment from demons, the fear of death, the bondage of sin, ON YOUR VERY LIFE, FOR YOUR VERY LIFE AND SOUL! HE DIED ON THE CROSS AND ROSE FOR US! HE CAN FREE YOU! God hates the sin, yet he loves the sinner, You! Don't let this choice of dismissing him end up being the eternal choice of YOUR FUTURE, YOUR STORY, YOUR ETERNITY, OUR Lord loves you! Get under his covering before the storm hits! So that when he returns you will see your Lord, Saviour, and Friend! Instead of seeing a foe like satan and his hordes of demons will! For their time at that moment will be up! They are already condemned, do not be among them and their followers!
John 3:16-18 KJV
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

Matthew 24:1-39 KJV
And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down. And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake. And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another. And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:) Then let them which be in Judaea flee into the mountains: Let him which is on the housetop not come down to take any thing out of his house: Neither let him which is in the field return back to take his clothes. And woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck in those days! But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, neither on the sabbath day: For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be. And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. Behold, I have told you before. Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not. For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together. Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken: And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors. Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled. Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. For as in the days that were before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered into the ark, And knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

It seems he was traumatized after being crushed by an empire, and thus decided he needed to have one too.

You get it. Everyone would want zo be emperor, that guy just went through with it at all costs.
@Chimino Pulverman kek
Those "dreams and goals" of his were only created through the figurative and somewhat quite literal destruction of his young life. They were created through the absolute destruction of his spirit. That's what colonialism did to him. He internalized the power and dominance of the french into his psyche just to keep his soul alive.
By torturing his fellow men and licking the french 🥖
Another "Uncle Ruckas"
So embarrassing
How is it embarrassing? His country failed hard for many years and continues to fail, so he tried to emulate a successful country. It may not have worked but can you blame him for trying ? I can see his perspective
@@privateuser7 problem is he tried so hard to be white
You’re an Uncle Ruckas too unless you stop speaking a European language
Every corner of earth emulates and is influenced by European ideals. The problem is he would suck as a leader regardless.
True because Europeans are pragmatic and practical bu nature
Sem Alvarez That’s just how humans work in general. We are all inherently selfish beings to the bottom. Beyond our own minds, our bodies may not put our survival above that others, but we will all put our prosperity above others. It’s a sad truth, but you can’t fundamentally change human nature
@@semdavidanger likewise to be pragmatic, people should only seek to emulate whats good about some culture, and understand where the reference falls short. Unlike in this case.
This is very well done. I'm from sudan and you were absolutely right about the miryad of African dictators and the self defeating mindset that plagued many Africans. It's unfortunate but things are hopefully changing for the better. Great video💯👌🏽
