A petition has been created on change.org to make Senator Cruz aware that he has offended the Nigerian community and needs to apologize for his distasteful remarks.

Nigeria may not be perfect, but neither is any nation. Our imperfection gives no one any right to mud sling us, most especially a US senator, who is supposedly esteemed.

Please sign!

Senator Ted Cruz, Apologize For Your Offensive Remarks to the Nigerian Community!

Make we try our luck see wetin go happen!

Signed!

Ted Cruz would be much more guarded in his public utterances in the future.

If he doesn't apologise, then what?

Whatever happened to the petition about the "child marriage law?"

Nigerians and focusing on the most trivial things. He said whatever he said, so what? How about sign petitions against those who destroyed the past, present and future of those millions of Nigerians sending spam mails everywhere? Charity they say begins at home. Ted Cruz has never hurt any Nigerian, neither has he stolen from Nigerians. He was speaking metaphorically, or should I say, figuratively. And he owes no one an apology.

I guess I'll never understand the mentality/experience of Nigerians

Then we can say we tried.

To you it's trivial. Yes, there are bigger issues occurring in Nigeria, but that's no reason to give him or anyone else a free pass.

Ogugua,there are many issues disturbing nigerians right now for us to sign petitions against.I don't know why you are carrying this statement by Cruz on your head.

An offensive remark was made in my country about my country of origin by a senator voted to public office. That could be why. He needs to be held accountable.

Signed .

"We in Nigeria" have a lot of problems and can't sign, yet you're expecting "I of diaspora" to start an ASUU protest?

Lol you can.

Nigerian Texans are already bombarding his office with phone calls. Hopefully others from other states will join as well.

Signed!
