Mobutu Sese Seko
Zaireans were required to drop their Western or Christian names (often those of European saints) in favor of authentic "Zairean" names. Mobutu changed his own name from Joseph-Désiré Mobutu to Mobutu Sese Seko Kuku Ngbendu Wa Za Banga (more commonly abbreviated to Mobutu Sese Seko).
