I watched one interview yesterday. a young man was interviewing one old man asking if the increase in PMS would bring solution to shortage of fuel scarcity. the man said what has the past increase done to solve fuel scarcity


he said we youth ain't ready, if you youths are ready, you won't go and bring an old man that suppose to be resting in his village to come and rule over you and you expect him to perform


that was really a big slap on Nigeria youths, we need to get it right this time, 2019 is at the corner, do the politics and don't just talk the politics


average Nigerian youths belong to no party with party recognise card, na just on keyboard they see theirselves as party members




do the politics, that's how to reduce this godfatherism, kingmaker nonsense and eradicate the influence of this elites politicians in order to embrace the development of Nigeria

Fool. Your first black president was from Kenya.
He was not from Kenya but a native born from Hawaii. And to think some NLanders were defending Trump the last time he made disparaging remarks saying it was a ploy by CNN to discredit him shows they dont know the racial history of Trump.

This was a man who lead a campaign to unjustly lock up five black young men who were falsely accused of raping a white woman in a case know as the New York "central park five". A man that was fined by the government several times for refusing to rent his apartments in New York to blacks and minorities. Not that I disagree with his assertion of Africa and Haiti being shitholes.

Let's be factual here. We are criticizing Trump out of emotions and sentiments. The way Africans see Somalia as a useless country not worthy of living in,that's how the average white sees Africa. Africa has a lot of good brains who have excelled in the US and other countries,and are still moving forward. But when you comapare them with the ones who are useless and constitute a nuisance wherever they are, it becomes a sad thing. If I were a foreigner, and I keep hearing about the kind of things that comes out of Africa (Nigeria to be precise), I would almost certainly think same way. Truth is that we are living abnormally in Nigeria and Africa bit we do not know it because we are already used to this kind of life. When African leaders and their citizens decide to sit up and do the right thing, they'd begin to earn respect for themselves. Nigeria is a perfect example or what a nation should never be.

Excuse me but if you ask the people that actually live in these countries.... 98% of them would agree with Trump ! Trump wins again!

Haiti is such a mess that it's neighbor, the Dominican Republic guards its borders to keep them out.

isn't that a definition of shithole?

Trump calls it the way it is with no politically correct filters. The truth sometimes hurts. If those countries Trump was referring to were so great we would see immigrants running there instead of here. Get over it. Trump is Trump.

And some Africans keep supporting this white folks the fact is they see Africans as sh!t. Africans are nothing to them thats why I do SMH when I see our people making a fuss about the white folk who only see them as worthless

White folks?

Take a look at South Africa, Benue, Taraba, Borno. African lives ain't worth sh!t to Africans.

President Trump on Thursday balked at an immigration deal that would include protections for people from Haiti and some nations in Africa, demanding to know at a White House meeting why he should accept immigrants from “shithole countries” rather than from places like Norway, according to people with direct knowledge of the conversation.

Mr. Trump’s remarks, the latest example of his penchant for racially tinged remarks denigrating immigrants, left members of Congress from both parties attending the meeting in the Cabinet Room alarmed and mystified. He made them during a discussion of an emerging bipartisan deal to give legal status to immigrants illegally brought to the United States as children, those with knowledge of the conversation said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the meeting.

When Mr. Trump heard that Haitians were among those who would benefit from the proposed deal, he asked whether they could be left out of the plan, asking, “Why do we want people from Haiti here?”

The comments were reminiscent of ones the president made last year in an Oval Office meeting with cabinet officials and administration aides, during which he complained about admitting Haitians to the country, saying that they all had AIDS, as well as Nigerians, who he said would never go back to their “huts,” according to officials who heard the statements in person or were briefed on the remarks by people who had. The White House vehemently denied last month that Mr. Trump made those remarks.

In a written statement, Raj Shah, the White House deputy press secretary, did not deny the account of the meeting on Thursday or directly address Mr. Trump’s comments.

“Certain Washington politicians choose to fight for foreign countries, but President Trump will always fight for the American people,” Mr. Shah said. “Like other nations that have merit-based immigration, President Trump is fighting for permanent solutions that make our country stronger by welcoming those who can contribute to our society, grow our economy and assimilate into our great nation.”

But the president’s vulgar language on a delicate issue left the fate of the broader immigration debate in limbo and had the potential to torpedo the chances of achieving the deal being sought to protect about 800,000 undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children. And they drew a backlash from Republican and Democratic lawmakers, many of whom called Mr. Trump’s utterances unacceptable at best and plainly racist at worst.

Representative Mia Love, a Republican of Utah who is of Haitian descent, demanded an apology from the president, saying his comments were “unkind, divisive, elitist, and fly in the face of our nation’s values.”

“This behavior is unacceptable from the leader of our nation,” Ms. Love went on in an emotional statement that noted her heritage and that said her parents “never took a thing” from the government while achieving the American dream. “The president must apologize to both the American people and the nations he so wantonly maligned.”

“As an American, I am ashamed of the president,” said Representative Luis V. Gutiérrez, Democrat of Illinois. “His comments are disappointing, unbelievable, but not surprising.” He added, we can now “say with 100 percent confidence that the president is a racist who does not share the values enshrined in our Constitution or Declaration of Independence.”

The reactions were extraordinary bipartisan rebukes to a sitting president, but they only fanned what has been a long-simmering debate over Mr. Trump’s views and talk on race.

As much as I want to get angry and throw punches back at Trump, what I see, hear and experience all around me here in Nigeria, even Africa as a whole are not agreeing with me. Sorry to say this, Africa is at bottom of the world, it's a shithole. I agree with him

And its so unfortunate that the ppl he says are from sh*t hole countries are the ones who the government still take their taxes and develop their economy.

Anything that will make Africans wake up and have sense is welcomed!

We Africans need to wake up and surprise the world like China.

Nigeria ought to lead that way...Nigeria need to lead other black African nations to light and let the world celebrate us for once cry cry

Don't blame Trump, if u were in his shoes, u would hate Africans, everything about Africa is bad.
We and MiddleEast are now the headquarters of barbarism; from Islamic terrorists from Middle east, north Africa, and Nigeria (Book Haram & Fulani herdsmen), to political corruption, government looting, tribalism, ethnic cleansing, generational poverty and what have you.

What good is Africa to the rest of the world

We flood Europe, America, etc, thereby destabilizing their economy instead of fighting our useless governments to fix our nations and make our nations okay for us to stay back, we prefer to flee from our problem only to come back to them later, its a shame

Forget about Mueller's investigation about Trump's collusion with Russia to win the presidency. This man is uniquely unqualified to be a leader of any country and every passing day he remains in that position diminishes America's standing in the world.
