Hélène-Christine GBAGBO: Like Grandfather, Like Granddaughter
A novel by Clara Johnson Kabangu
The Prophetic Dream of a New, Sovereign, and United Africa
🌍 What if Africa’s future depended on the power of women?
In this stirring, gripping, and powerfully visionary novel, Clara Johnson Kabangu delivers a historical, political, and intimate epic that connects two of the most symbolic names in African destiny: Laurent GBAGBO, icon of Ivorian resistance, and Patrice Emery LUMUMBA, the Congolese martyr of independence. But this isn’t a retrospective — it’s a prophecy, an inspired fiction, a cry of hope for the continent.
👩🏾⚖️ A heroine born to shape history
Hélène-Christine GBAGBO, granddaughter of former Ivorian president Laurent GBAGBO, steps onto the political stage in January 2046. At just 31, she takes the helm of the PPA-CI party, revives her grandfather’s political legacy, overcomes betrayals, assassination attempts, and political sabotage — and against all odds, becomes President of Côte d’Ivoire in 2050.
Her leadership ushers in an era of transformation, reclaimed dignity, and unapologetic sovereignty. Under her rule, Côte d’Ivoire becomes a true economic and military power: raw cocoa exports are halted, the Ivorian Franc replaces the CFA franc, a new pan-African language is adopted, and the country becomes the world’s top producer of chocolate.
💍 A symbolic union of revolutionary legacies
Hélène-Christine’s destiny takes on a deeper significance when she marries Yohan-Patrice Lumumba, great-grandson of the Congolese hero. Together, they build an economic empire — the Congolese General Company of Cobalt and Lithium (CGCL) — and revolutionize the green tech industry with African-made batteries and electric vehicles. In 2061, they are awarded the Nobel Prize in Science.
🇨🇩 One woman, two countries, one continent
After making her mark on Ivorian history, Hélène-Christine becomes Chief of Staff to the President of the Democratic Republic of the Congo — her husband — elected in Kinshasa in 2071. Together, they redefine African leadership and lay the foundation for a proud, independent, and united Africa, looking boldly toward the year 2100.
🔥 A novel that is more than fiction: a call, a vision, a prophetic dream
This is not just a political novel. It’s a collective awakening. It’s an invitation to dream big for Africa, to reconnect with the ancestral legacy, and to believe in the impossible. It is a mirror for Africa’s youth, a tribute to the women of the continent, and a beacon for every African and member of the diaspora.
📣 To all Ivorians, Congolese, Africans, and Afro-descendants:
This novel is your story projected into the future. It is the book your children must read, the story every leader should reflect on, the dream every African must dare to embody.
