Donald Trump: God's Whip For Black People?EVERYONE should be familiar with Donald Trump,
the United States of America presidential aspirant on
the platform of the conservative Republican Party.
He is rabidly racist, irascible, anarchist, amoral,
voluble, loquacious, xenophobic, isolationist, and
protectionist – name it! He sounds every bit
irrational, violent, and dangerous. His hatred for
immigrants – Blacks especially – knows no bound. To
be sure, Trump wouldn’t be the first such hate-
peddling presidential aspirant in the history of the
United States; problem, however, is, this one
appears a very serious aspirant; he seems a likely
winner of the Republican ticket. The who’s who in his
party has endorsed him and the voters in the
ongoing party primaries are flocking unto him. He
has trounced hitherto promising challengers and the
gap between him and the others keeps widening
primary after primary. Soon, he could reach the
threshold necessary for him to be declared the
undisputed winner of the Republican ticket – and he
would be only one step away from the White House
– the world’s most powerful office.
As it is today, the only person capable of stopping
Trump is the Democratic Party presidential aspirant,
Mrs. Hillary Clinton. Former First Lady to two-term
ex-President Bill Clinton, former Democratic party
presidential aspirant (challenging Barak Obama and
giving him a run for his money); former Secretary of
State in Barak Obama’s cabinet and Senator, Hillary
aims to make history as the first woman president of
the United States. If she is elected, the Clintons will
also make history as the first couple in the country’s
history to both occupy the White House as president.
She has practically outpaced other challengers for
the Democratic Party’s ticket and barring any upset,
should soon wrap up the contest. Is she to be
preferred to Trump? Many will say “yes” but I have
read reports about her being an Establishment
person whereas even in her own party, the chant is
for change from the Washington culture. She is said
to be far right of the Centre; not a friend of the poor;
not passionate about the issues that concern the
poor and if she wins, is likely to serve more of the
same menu that Americans across party divide are
fed up with.
Americans need CHANGE. The conservatives need
change. They want somebody conservative enough
to implement real conservative policies that will
make no pretence at pandering to populist ranting.
Trump appears to fit the bill. On the Democrats’
side, the people, especially the young, are also
clamouring for change. Senator Bernie Sanders best
approximates that change but he may not win the
ticket. Clinton is not trusted even by the pro-Left of
her own party who sees her as pro- Establishment
and pro-Wall Street. This is why many are afraid that
in the event of Trump winning and Sanders losing, a
chunk of pro-CHANGE Democrats may defect to
Trump. Our own Reuben Abati described Trump as
“snarling insurgent and nativist” and the possibility
of his becoming the U.S. president as “frightening
prospect.” Abati adds: “(Trump) has said all the worst
things that should never be uttered by anyone
seeking to lead a responsible and diverse nation. His
campaign has been marked by insults, anger, put
downs, bully tactics, rants, and unapologetic
immaturity...He recommends torture and the killing
of the families of terrorists. He has been endorsed
by white supremacists and he doesn’t quite seem to
mind being labelled a racist. He threatens violence
and on one occasion almost punched a protester in
the face. He even got into an altercation with the
Pope. He wants to barricade the American South
border and build a wall to shut out Mexico because,
according to him, the Mexicans who cross the
border into America are ‘rapists’. And when that wall
is built, he insists Mexico must pick the bill. He
doesn’t want Muslims inside America either, and he
has dismissed Africans as unwanted and Nigerians
as a problem.”
The hysteria which has followed Trump is
understandable. Now, hear what he said that has
frightened everyone “We need to get the Africans out
(of America). Not the blacks (African-Americans); the
Africans, especially the Nigerians. They are
everywhere. I went for a rally in Alaska and met just
one African in the entire state. Where was he from?
Nigeria! He’s in Alaska taking our jobs. They are in
Houston taking our jobs. Why? Why can’t they stay in
their own country? Why? I’ll tell you why: Because
they are corrupt. Their governments are so corrupt
they rob the people blind and bring it all here to
spend. And their people run away and come here
and take our jobs! We can’t have that! If I become
president, we’ll send them all home. We’ll build a
wall at the Atlantic shore. Then maybe we’ll re-
colonise them because obviously they did not learn
a damn thing from the British.”
Now, don’t blow your top yet. Let’s overlook the
insults but do contents analysis of what Trump said
about us. Truth, they say, is bitter. Is it not true that
Nigerians are everywhere? We often cite this as
evidence of our industry. Had Trump gone a step
further to find out the tribe of the Nigerian he met in
Alaska, he might have found out his is Igbo! Don’t
you think so? But truth is that where countries are
faced with problems of massive unemployment, the
first scapegoats are foreigners. Trump may have
been crude in his choice of words but repatriation of
foreigners, especially illegal immigrants, is
worldwide practice. We ourselves have sent
Ghanaians and other Africans out of this country.
Other African countries such as Ghana, Libya, and
South Africa have done a similar thing to us. Are our
governments not corrupt? Of course they are! Have
our so-called leaders not stolen us blind? Of course
they have! Do they not siphon the loot abroad while
we suffer at home for basic amenities that such
stolen money could have provided for us many
times over? Of course that is the case! Is there not a
brain drain from here to the developed countries?
Of course there is! Are our people not running away
from hardship here? Of course they are! And are
they not taking up jobs in other lands that the
citizens would, ordinarily, have got? That, of course,
is the fact! But, again, this is the standard practice all
over the world. There are, perhaps, more Americans
working abroad than foreigners working in America.
Trumps’ tirade against Muslims is no less acerbic,
yet with its own “justification”. We must note that
9\11 continues to haunt the Americans; not to talk of
the ISIS, Boko Haram , al-Qaeda, al-Shabbab, Mali,
Libya, Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Afghanistan, to mention
but a few. It is trite, though, that the crimes of a few
should not be stamped on everyone, especially
when it can be argued that America’s foreign policy
cannot be divorced from the terror-war in many
parts of the world. Islamic leaders have a lot of
image-cleansing to do all the same. Incendiary
statements by Muslims leaders portray the faith in
bad light. The mindless bloodletting everywhere in
the name of Islam does not help the image of
Muslims. We have had our own nasty experience
here in Nigeria; the Mile 12, Lagos mindless killings,
for instance. Read Remi Fani-Kayode’s “Sons of Futa
Jalon” and you are bound to recoil in horror. In the
last few weeks, the Ese Oruru saga has not been
good Public Relations for Islam. Newspaper reports
are to the effect that there are many other Ese
Orurus that the media have started to champion
their cause for freedom and justice.
Other people confront their problems but we run
away from ours. Is that not why our best brains have
left the shores of this country? Many of the lecturers
who taught me at Ife, who made that campus tick,
are out of the country. I will be surprised if you find
White lecturers on our campuses again. In those
days many of them taught me at Ife. When I heard
stories of Nigerian medical doctors who ran away to
the U.S. to try to become a nurse, I wept. I
understand one fellow wrote the qualifying exams
several times but failed. He was almost giving up
when, like our own President Muhammadu Buhari,
he was prevailed upon to try one more time – and
this time, he passed! Tell me, if others behave like
us, who will create the Eldorado that we take
pleasure in running to? We love finished products;
we loathe finishing the products ourselves. Even to
grow coaches at home, we cannot; we would rather
import them. Buhari said we import from rice to
tooth pick – and he is damn right. We hate rules. I
mean here in the country – but we conform abroad.
The car crash that killed a Minister, his wife and son
turned out damning revelations of rules broken. It
was impunity upon impunity. Yet, the Presidency
rushed to compensate such infractions with the
award of scholarships! When we should all have
buried our heads in shame! If gold rusts, what will
silver do?
Send them home, Trump, send them home! Let our
universities bubble again with first-class academics.
If all those who brain-drained into the U.S. alone are
sent back by Trump, we shall have our hospitals
brimming with first-class professionals. And we shall
learn to develop inwardly. Prof. Chike Obi said long
ago that unless we Blacks make contributions to
science and technology\inventions, the Whites will
never accept us as their equals. That is a fact. The
best that we have notched up is Nobel Peace prize
and Nobel Prize in Literature. Can Leopold Sedar
Senghor then be right when the father of Negritude
said: “Reason is Hellenic (white) while emotion is
African (black)”? How will Donald Trump not trump
us, so to say? Whether abroad or at home, have we
behaved properly to others and to ourselves? The
stirring but shrill voice of Okot p’Bitek, in Song of
Ochol, pierces the wind again as he moans: “Mother,
why, why was I born black?”

true talk....if trump wins world war 3 is not far again.

A Trump is needed to Whip the US to economically. And the same people shouting his praises now will regret it. Quote me in the next 3 years.

If you check those that America is owing you will know America owes China, Japan, etc including the OPEC nations which include NIGERIA

I have never liked Trump for once.
Come to look at it
What he said about Nigeria and Nigerians is the TRUTH.
Remember TRUTH is always a bitter pill.

Am I the only person rooting for Trump...?! he must be the next POTUS...

cckris:

Only Trump can FORCE African Leaders to begin to work for the interest of Africans, instead of stealing African wealth, & hiding them away in more democratic & developed nations. And African Leaders don't like that.

that trump man cant last,you dont send every one away because you wana cleanse you country,he thinks this is a score point for him because of the american hatred for terrorism,he wana send black,mexicans,arabs,and even black americans out of U.S,thatz suicidal for him,hilary might just capitalize on this.

What choice of words? What has he said that shows him unfit to lead? I need direct quotes, not interpretation. Trump has proven to be a far better candidate than his opponents.
