Did Putin say Africa is a cemetery for Africans?

It first appeared in 2019 and this week, it is trending on social media again about a statement allegedly by the Russian leader, Vladimir Putin, about Africa, via tik-tok. The question is it true that the Russian leader did make this statement?

According to the media, Putin said “When an African becomes rich, his bank accounts are located in Switzerland. He goes to France for treatment, invests in Germany, makes purchases in Dubai, consumes Chinese products.

He prays in Rome or Mecca, his children are studying in Europe, he has a vacation in Canada, the USA, or Europe when he dies, he will be buried in his native country. Africa is only a cemetery for Africans."

As a matter of fact, that's the definition and true lifestyle of an African, especially the politicians but is it true that Vladimir Putin made that statement?

We don’t have to believe everything trending on social media since many are false. False news spread very quickly than the truth because people that hate others or the opposition, always look for something damaging or incriminating to use against their opponents.

I tried my best to find out if this statement is genuinely true but couldn’t find anything pointing to Putin for making this statement.

From there, I want to Google Russia and did translations to see if this will appear somewhere, behold; it did appear but the reports indicate that it is a false publication and Vladimir Putin didn’t say that.

People need to be very careful about the way they quickly spread and support untrue information trending on social media to damage others.

Social media is very educative but most users abuse the system with inaccurate information. Modern technology has made it possible with photoshops of incriminating images against people.

One of the saddest moments in my life was about a young girl who committed suicide after her attention was drawn to a video on social media about a gang that raped her.

You can’t do such a thing to someone because social media is available. I am glad the police arrested each one of them.

It is a fact that many true publications degrading or cautioning Africa, are often declared fake or false, for example, this article ‘Dr. Raoult Calls On Africans Not To Take Bill Gates’ COVID 19 Vaccine’ -https://bit.ly/3mutPtU, was a true article, yet it was later declared fake or false article by the World Health Organization.

Another example is Trump referred to Haiti and African nations as ‘Shithole nations,’ even though it is true that he said, he personally denied it. The media didn’t call that fake news. Therefore, it is clear that Putin never made that statement against Africa.
