    I love great Africans. She's bold, beautiful, patriotic, honest, talented and so much more. I loved how she lifted up our great and wonderful motherland. It's so true that without Africa, there will be no Europe and no one wants to talk about it. All the want to talk about is the shit they make up.

      She is inspirational. Such a strong beautiful woman. She could be a president or a Prime Minister easily. Who would be the fool to tell her what to do or not? lol
