i was born in 2000 in Rwanda.. like i have never heard a gunshot in my life, i can legit walk around at 3am at night witthought any fear, security is literally the norm and get this in my 24 years of existence i have never ever heard any ethnic talk or division..literally, how could you not love KAGAME how??
rwandans are forced to love him for their own survival. everyone in rwanda is under observation. a very violent regime toward his people.
@@billythekid2692so say the self- proclamed prefects of the world, who themselves have failed social systems
While Rwandans might love Paul Kagame (rightfully so), as a Panafricanist, this Paul Kagame is a menace to Africa and the black unity. I am a descendant of African slaves born in the Caribbean. The way Kagame is willingly destabilizing the Republic Democratic of Congo is too cruel. That's why I stopped cheering for him.
He’s dictator
@@semwen737 he's not president of congo.
My dear friends I am in Rwanda but I am a foreigner. I have been there for 20yrs now, I have seen a lot of changes where Kagame changed Rwanda into an economic success. for people here they wish he can rule them like a millennium. Respect to Rwanda and Rwandan people for being resilient to western hegemony.
Tell them. It’s normally those who never been to Rwanda that are always hating 😂😂
I visited Rwanda before the war of 1990, and I have visited Rwanda a couple of times during P. Kaga regime. **Rwandan current regime is a western agent used in the destabilization of Congo DRC and for the interests of western.**
😂😂 which economic??
Hutu are leaving Rwanda and coming to eastern part of Congo doing building work, the only economy works for Tutsi, who are only allowed to get more rich and to open the business within Kigali.
@@PatrickMwitende ahaa ahaa “resilient” to what? lol you’re funny. A western lab country like Rwa?
Go read books about Rwanda, and if you don’t know where to start, I can help you.
@jessolinabanji..hahhhhh you are a joke,even congolese go to Rwanda to look for jobs(cutting hair,teaching,working in auto repair shops)so does that mean there are no congoleses who are doing business in congo?hahhhh a person with negativity can never lack things to say to hide the truth he doesn't want others to see hahhh this guy kagame has transformed Rwanda remarkably when you see how the countrt was completely destroyed by the hutu regimes
Congratulations for all Rwandans for electing their beloved President.
Love from India. ❤ 🇮🇳🤝🇷🇼
He's the only one who is allowed to be voted for
Welcome in Rwanda 🇷🇼
It's time I have to go and stay In Rwanda
@@TrymoreJames Go but know that you won’t have the freedom to speak your mind other than what the regime want. Also, don’t be fooled by propaganda. Rwanda is a poor country with a 40% of budget supported by the west and more than 30% coming from the pillaging of their neighbor country of D.R.Congo through western support.
We also love you! All people are brothers as we believe in Rwanda.
Once the people want him, let him rule. Prosperity to Rwanda.
Fake election victory 😊😅,the strong Puppet and ,Traitor and Small boy you are to the coward Warlords 😊the more high Election count you win 😊!
Useless jokes,fooling East and Southern Africans in on Colonial deep mindset and bullying 😊.
Been to Rwanda.I can testify Kagame is overworking.Long live Rwanda 🇷🇼🇰🇪
**Rwanda is an open-air prison.**
Rigorous researchers like Allan Stan and Christian Davenport who spent 10 years in Rwanda, although, were biased at the beginning pro official statements; they found that it was a Rwandan geno-cid#e of 800 thousands to 1 million people. **Peace be upon their souls.** Considering IBUKA’s statistics of 300 thousands tuti survivors, most unbiased researchers concluded that most victims were hutus.
@omkalo4 you must be one of the hutu genocidaires of their supporters who get irritated when the truth exposes your lies,those researchers of yours you can keep them for yourself as no foreigner can talk about the genocide against Tutsi better than the genocide survivors themselves.for your own information the hutus killed more than one million Tutsi in just 100 days,i repeat more than 1 million Tutsi and a very tiny number of hutus no more than
200 just because they voiced their opinions that were against the extermination of Tutsi.the hutu regimes always lied about the percentage of Tutsi sometimes they would say 14% other time they would say 9% both were lies so when they kill Tutsi they could always denying it but presenting a smaller percentage claiming they didn't kill none.i have two Tutsi friends who survived and one lost 600 people in her family and another lost 300 people so you can imagine how many in total all those 300 thousands survivors each lost in his/her family.people like you have always tried to push the genocide denial ideology when people talk about the genocide against Tutsi but you will never succeed because the truth is everywhere and you can never close the mouths of those who talk truth.
He has done such an excellent job with Rwanda cleanest city in Africa , paved roads street lighting functioning hospitals 🎉 I love Rwanda
Have you gone to the countryside?
@@MubaleEmmanuelcountryside is not bad compared to Uganda major cities.
If it’s all good in Rwanda why do his people when they come to Uganda don’t want to leave…
@@Michealsheby What about the Ugandans in Rwanda. They don't want to leave either.
For himself and his family. Rwanda is still very poor by African standards.
We r proud Rwandans in Canada because of him we love you President Paul kagame, God Bless you
English yu spoke does not English for someone staying in Canada so don't lie like kagame tells people tutsi if he didn't around no one was survived 😂
He should say Tutsi are happy not Rwandans !
@jessolinabanji...hahhh Tutsi of Rwanda and Rwandans so what is your argument about hahhhhhh
So why are you in Canada, then?!
Indeed, you can't fake such turn up. We Rwandan made our choice. We are proud of being a Resilience Nation accross the globe
Congratulations to the president, as long as the Rwanda 🇷🇼 people are happy with him and he is doing well for the country that is okay
We got a rumor only Tutsis are allowed to open a business in Kigali and are get more richer than Hutus.
Why do your people always talk like robots? It's like you've been trained to do so. You have no arguments to present, no data, only words. "We love him", "he's our savior", etc. That's really dumb of you guys.
@@jessolinabanji1565no come to Rwanda and see yourself those are all lies about our nation
@@moiseumba😂😂only you guys are jealous of us
That's my president,🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼😍😍😍😍
Me too respect.President kagami coming from jamaica .
Rwanda does not need a puppet President kegani will always be the first choices and the best choice
@DerrickScott-km3zc 😅😅😅😅 He's a Western puppet, though. Almost half of your national budget comes from aid from Western countries. 😂😂😂
a despot
eww
We are Rwandans, and We are Proud because of PK✊🏿❤️
Brain washed
@@Borvia109 who are you to say that. people who never been in Rwanda are the one who waste their time speaking such nonsense like yours
Kagame Paul ❤❤❤💪💪💪
None can compete with western puppets
You mean Tutsis are happy not Rwandans 😂
The answer is, he is the greatest leader who has made his country prosper beyond expectations.Respect!
One the poorest countries in the world
Is just a dictator
@@Kanyana-nr3tf who told you for us we are in the road to say Kagame must lead and you Kenyan Ruto must go, so who is a dictator?
@@d-niy Protest isn't allowed in Rwanda that's why
@@Kanyana-nr3tfso is Putin, 3rd superpower of the world. What's your point?
As Africans we need to define our democracy. Democracy shud not be about changing presidents.
Tell them
S democracy also about preventing others from contesting?
@DumaM-ir7rk that’s my argument. We don’t need to use ur inventions and apply them to us. We can have our own system and thrive in our own right. Kagame has changed so much of Rwanda to get rid of just because someone in Europe said it’s “undemocratic”. Who cares abt democracy when our system is working to our advantage. I’m
@DumaM-ir7rk Zimbabwe and Rwanda are two different scenarios. Kagame hasn’t repossessed property nor dismissed any white nationals from his country to attract sanctions. He has instead stabilised the economy and the political tensions that existed prior. He is championing education and development. So why shud he be removed from office? Just because u want someone new? Nope. Ghadaffi stayed in power for decades and Libya was outperforming the US and other countries. What did they gain by removing him? If a system works for the ordinary citizen then we shud leave it at that.
@DumaM-ir7rk Zimbabwe’s issues emanated not from Mugabe overstaying but him repossessing land and driving away white people. Otherwise any president that holds on to the same land policy stance in Zimbabwe will never be a fan of the west. Rwanda and the west have an understanding in terms of investments and this is why UK was in favour of Rwanda to host their illegal immigrants that were to be deported from the UK. Without sanctions from the west Zimbabwe wud still be thriving.
He has done wonder and making his country prosperous!
Congratulations president PK
He's the best president on earth 🌍 everyone should come in Rwanda 🇷🇼 to learn from Rwanda and Kagame in particular ❤❤
You Tutsi you are happy you have power, Hutu are subjugated in your country
I admire him because he is upright and never took nonsense from anyone.
You talk well thanks
PK deserves it, has built a country from scratch, unity, and reconciliation among Rwandans. They love him because of what he did for them. He is an extraordinary leader!
Just come to Rwanda 🇷🇼 I think you’ll never asking why we love him so much what he has done will speak itself I assure you’ll never know that is africa you always watch and listen on radio 🇷🇼🙏❤️
Even for the 100th term we'll still be wishing to vote for him. He's greatest president the world has ever had. Our PK🥰😍
He wins because his better...Rwigara has disqualified because she didn't provide all required to be qualified...P.K we love him
How better without competition?😂
Is he alone ? What competition? Candidates are 3
@@MurahoRwanda250 only one people are allowed to vote for.
@@joggyjamesone people wtf is this english grammar 😂😂 brooo never been in Rwanda or know any Rwandan except Kagame but you saying shit 🤦🏾🤦🏾
Stupidity at top notch
@@lostboy2608 you wanna be the competition go on 😂
I'm from Nigeria living in Canada Africa need leader like him....no matter what you think.There is alot of good result in his leadership like gadafi
Nigeria has higher GDP per capita though
@@1wun1Nigeria is also much bigger in land area, population and natural resources.
@@thatweirdnigerianguy
GDP per capita, not total GDP. This one favours smaller countries.
@@1wun1 oh... Okay. Thanks for the clarification.
That was a brain fart from me. 😅
@@thatweirdnigerianguy
No worries
Paul Kagame is a great leader to lead his people to prosperity... He deserves such a win! Critics will not do good in leadership.
Haaa wow a murder he got congolese blood and rwandaise people tooo naaah this word needs seriously god
@@stephaneluis8202life expectancy numbers in rwanda beg to differ. Emotional.
Kagame is an African success story. Nothing more to add. The results are CLEAR.
Because you got brainwashed by Media, Kagame is western puppet who blocked the progress of central Africa having army all over Africa killing people in Mozambique Congo central Africa
In addition, to all the wonderful positive comments I am seeing here. I think, Paul Kagama was also the leader of the Rwanda RPF soldiers during the ethnic clash in Rwanda. And as someone, who witnessed how Rwandas were slaughtered during the war and how those who colonized them let it happen. He has made, it his goal to uplift his people and protect them from external invasions that is capable of creating division and hatred. I'm from Nigeria, but PK is one of the few African leaders who got my respect. Rwandas, are lucky to have him.
You deserve Hundreds of likes bro!❤❤
Thank you
l love so so so much president Kagame, great leader, father, friend. we love you for infinity
Sure, You can't fake up a turn up like this one ❤❤❤❤
Why do Putin still in power again why do chins president is still on power BC Kagame is still in powe he is a loved president
Also FirstPost should criticize their Prime Minister who has no term limits... Chief Ministers come and go , come back and go until they die , for their children to take over .... First Post has no authority to talk about term limit
@@lekatakolerike8272 very right surely this shouldn't be them our kagame USA great man he is even better than them see their democracy in USA they falling ever day
Big Congratulations 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉to our Father ❤❤❤❤❤
He is a visionary leader and that’s what Africa needs.
I'm a Kenyan but I proudly say He has fought so much for Rwanda , and he still fighting, he understand the value of peace unity. God bless you with long life president kagame
He has done wonders for his country. Happy for him. Democracy is sometimes overrated.
Alot of people are sick of changeability bias hhhh! They always want something new even if the old is better. Democracy is not coming and going of leaders ,democrancy is the choice of the people and We the people of Rwanda 🇷🇼 choose Paul Kagame.
We love our Father as Rwandan what he has done for Rwandan no one ever do it only God keep protecting him for Rwandan for us in fact we which to have him all the time no election he has done a lot just why we chose P.K I live in USA 🇺🇸 even as we vote him ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Message to Rwandese keep unity, keep one tribe, keep one language keep patriotism, Rwanda💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗
Good say my friend ;
as one people as we are 👌👌👌🤝🤝❤️❤️❤️
Let us Rwandans be. We know where we came from and we know where we want go. Please you did not mind our business during genocide against Tutsi and our hero HE Paul Kagame stopped it. now you want him/Rwandans to live the way you want. Let us mean our business.
No kagame no Rwanda 🇷🇼 I was born in 1996 in Rwanda after Genocide but i don’t know the meaning of war because I grew up in peaceful country now I have 28 years but I’ve never seen kagame do anything bad for Rwandans he protect our peace and we enjoy the peace he fought for in Rwanda much love 😍😍😍😍😍😍
He will develop a country !!! Anyone never did in the world and the world will be surprised this is the start of Kagame kagame's success till people will start to debate if he is natural human
True
😂😂❤❤
What does he know about the
People of the Moon ?
We children that grew up in habyarimana’s era have seen it all we grew seeing the fear in our parents eyes restricts us for going to certain places bse of who we were, after 94 none of this ever happened again we are all Rwandans we live and enjoy harmony so please why won’t we vote for Pk we love him and we will still vote for him until thy kingdom come 👏😍🎉✊🏿
Kagame kwisonga✊✊✊♥️🤍💙we Rwandans(youth) we are proud of having you as our president PK🎉🎉🎉
A great leader like kagme is more than democracy in Africa. I am glad they keep voting him with the highest approval rate. He took a broken Rwanda , fixed it and keep improving it for the better. He is not a saint may even have some faults. But look around in other countries in Africa. No leader did a better job for his country than Kagame. Some African leaders stayed years just like him in power but they did nothing for their country and people. Note that some of these African countries are richer than Rwanda. Kagame is a great example how a leader or politician must do when they were given absolute power by their people.
Yes that's the truth
Im Rwandese for sure HE PAUL KAGAME is the best President in the World God bless him forever❤❤❤
Dude this guy is the legit thing he's tough yet fair,no nonsense politics..If things aren't going bad no need to put inexperienced candidates like the lady she just screams DEI candidate not a strong leader that Rwanda needs.
Let's assume We are going to count pro Kagame comments here as vote, and then count those against him like for the competitors you will tell me, if the average is not around 90%+ that popularity means everything, to me Kagame oye! Africa oye!
💯
Kagame is special president of century like Nalendra ,like Putin ,like Chinese president , we love Paul Kagame is anexemple reader in the world 🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼❤❤❤❤
Refugee turned colonial governor Museveni mentored kagame and ruto, all these so called presidents are neocolonialists/ slave makers/ slave traders, both m7 and kagame are rwandanese Tutsi hamites, they're not bantus. They have a very anti bantu/black attitudes and practices that can viewed as satanic/devilish, hence why caucasian governments love them so much
TUTSI USE A SCIENCE CALLED "UBWENGE" FOR EXAMPLE
“The use of manipulative lying (“Ubwenge”) has always constituted a fundamental and an essential element in the conquest of power and domination in Rwanda”. Shingiro Mbonyumutwa, a Rwandan analyst in Rwanda A Quand la Democratie, Paris, Editions l’Harmattan, 2009, pp. 107-109.
“In 1940, Paul Dresse, one of the Belgian administrators in Rwanda, wrote a book in which he describes the Art of Lying among Tutsis: ‘The Tutsis are unique in their obsession with pretending… But, this disposition favors also duplicity and this is what makes this race one of the greatest liars that one can find under the sun. … the art of lying is not something that is purely verbal. The face, the entire body must accompany the ‘veracity’ of the speech” (G. Musabyimana).
PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD 🙏🏿
U are, right ,western are shorked he is not their puppet ,I heard here in the news journalists saying that he used a puppet , ( if so , and the country is progressing, why bother?)

Voting for a visionary and good president ensures a progressive future, addressing critical issues with foresight and integrity. Such leadership inspires trust, promotes unity, and drives meaningful change for the betterment of society.
If they love him , let him be
What I love about kagame is how he has fostered unity in rwanda. Rwanda today is one of the most cohesive country in Africa.
Rwanda , Mali , Niger and Burkina Faso is showing the rest of Afrika that unity and power can be achieved in Afrika .
🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼🇷🇼❣️❣️❣️💯💯
The number of candidates is not the issue.USA has only 2 and even those disqualified has not even been able to collect 600 signature required to be considered as candidate.Here action talks than words if you wonder why he keeps winning.
LONG LIVE RWANDA , GOD BLESS RWANDAA
All of Africa needs God and Kagameh. What an outstanding politician!! He as the interest of his people and his country is prospering
PK is a man of actions with no harm and tried to unify all Rwandans. All gratitude towards him❤
H.E Kagame is wiseman who love and protect Rwandans .
My president taught us to unite and put our hands together for working to our motherland country. Self reliance is one of our motto.🇷🇼❤️🇷🇼
Leave kegame alone,he is not a puppet,leave Rwanda alone
Love, Honor and Respect to Paul Kagame for making Rwanda a self sufficient country. However, everybody deserve a chance in life just like how you got a chance to be President of Rwanda. Yes, you can not take away people Freedom of Speech because that is violating a person Human Rights.
congratulations MR president
