I hate it when I see Congolese people involved in this stupidity. You are literally more likely to be first generation as in your parents arrived in the UK in the early or mid 80s, 90s or 2000s. Your parents sacrificed so much and your reward to them is shooting people?
Nonsense! This why it’s important to travel more and talk less.
Especially that in the UK Congolese people speak 100% Lingala and zero French. You don’t own the Congolese identity. We are Congolese because of our ancestors and land, not because of you.
Again, nonsense! The Congolese community is famously known in the UK for being insular, and for speaking 100% Lingala in the household. Talk less and travel more!
England vs DR Congo is insane.
Never in my life did I think I'd see my country of origin play against my country of nationality in the World Cup.
I will be there no matter what!!
13 years ago I gave birth to my miracle baby at only 25 weeks weighing less than a bag of sugar. Today he’s a 13 year old big boy who wears men sized clothes.
@lilyally98 There are two types of people in the world. There's the type who thinks that everyone should suffer the way that they have suffered, and there's the type who thinks that no one should have to suffer the way that they have suffered. Many Gen X women fall into the first category.
I have a theory.
Some older African women seem harsh or bitter toward younger girls not because the girls are doing anything wrong, but because the girls are refusing to repeat the same sacrifices they were pressured into.
Many of these women stayed in marriages marked by infidelity, emotional neglect, or deep unhappiness because they were taught that endurance was virtue and leaving was failure. They suffered quietly, often without support, choice, or validation.
So when younger women question unhealthy marriage norms, set boundaries, or refuse “manage him” narratives, it can feel threatening. It challenges the idea that suffering was necessary or noble.
What looks like bitterness is often unprocessed pain, redirected at the generation that now has options they never did.
