Na wa ooo. Vanity upon vanity they say, is truly vanity!! This life sef

Nonsense, couldn't the government have confiscated this and maintain it? Allowing it to rot doesn't make sense at all.

FORMER CONGO DICTATOR MOBUTU SESESEKO'S MANSION IS NOW HOME TO RATS, BATS, SNAKES, BIRDS: LESSON TO AFRICAN RULERS

SHARE UNTIL AFRICAN RULERS SEE THIS

This is the House of the former Zaire [now DRC] dictator, Field Marshal Mobutu Sese Seko Kukungbendu Wazabanga.

The magnificent structure constructed on a large expanse of land [equivalent to a minimal game park] was built in his home village called Gbadolite at the cost £100m.

It was considered the "epitome of decor and elegance" in Zaire and beyond. The super structure was decorated with Italian marble, Katangese high-karate gold plated doors and windows, Spanish floor tiles, automatic American air conditioning, Isreali state-of-the-art communication systems, king-size swimming pool, a private airport control tower, 3-4 inch bullet-proof glassware, 5 presidential suites, 6 Jacuzzis and surrounded by a mini game park full of all kinds of wildlife, including Indian tigers.

The structure, which at the time of Mobutu's death was ranked one of the most magnificent private castles ever owned by a sitting Head of State, is now home to wild rats, tropical snakes, gecko lizards, mega snails, scorpions, birds and thousands of wild insects.

Dictators should learn from this. Where are Mobutu’s kids to take over their father’s estate?

So shall it be for all leaders who looted public resources unless they change and return their loots to public coffers. Aameen

Share this for humanity's sake.

Foolish government why wasn't turned to a museum or a guest house

If tyhey turn it to a museum they will loose money, even as an hotel they will still loose money Who wan go Congo-Zaire to look artifact for museum abi waiting u wan say u dey find for hotel there? Their own people are too poor to think about museum or staying in hotels

Mobutu was a Congolese dictator, not Zimbabwean..

Ouch. Zimbabwe on the mind

Chei.. this must have been the latest at the time it was Built.

Solid Structure.
my question is this : is it forbidden to possess this elegant structure why many Congolese citizen are homeless?

jieta:
most especially that one from Ogun

na my state be that oh [color=#006600][/color] Amen

I Thought Mobutu sese seko was a footballer

Futility of life

The proper and correct title should have been "Congo government allowed her landed property decayed and became home to rats, snakes and what have you". That edifice if confiscated by government would have become an income generating machine to the government. But, this is Africa where their leaders don't think or when they do, they do it upside down.

The joke is on Congo government and its people not the senseless treasury looter and dictator.

But still we have to respect others doing things their own way.

Abi o. At least Sese Seko enjoyed it for many years. And he maintained albeit at public cost.

It's now Congo people's loss.

GEJ mansion in otouke nko?

This is a very great lesson for all of us not only the politicians that everything we are dying to have/achieve/own are just temporal and vanity. Most people really don't know this until they die and see all their achievements and dream-come-throughs rubbished. In fact in this transient world nothing is worth dying for.

God bless you bro. The property should have been confiscated and turned to tourist center, where millions would have been generated. Imagine how much touring Buckingham Palace by millions of people is generating for the queen in England
