Yesterday, a Nigerian wrote an infantile screed about why he supports Donald Trump. Okay, he has a right to be an idiot. But he did not stop right there; he went on and on talking about Barack Obama and how he did nothing for Nigeria, how he helped elect Buhari Nigeria’s president and so on.
For the records, there is not one shred of evidence that Obama played a role in the election of Buhari; he did not come to Nigeria to vote for Buhari.

That notwithstanding the man took his conjecture as true.

Regarding whether Obama helped Africans or not, that is up for debate. For what it is worth, let me state that it is the US Congress that appropriates money spent by America’s government and determines the amount given by the US in foreign Aid; it is not the president that determines US foreign Aid.

The US Congress appropriates about $19 billion dollars annually for foreign Aid. That money is generally used for US national interest calculations. They give money to nations that serve their strategic national interests not because they like you. If your country happens to be of interest to them they give you money. It is Congress that gives that money, not the president.

The USA foreign Aid to Africans during the Obama administration was about the same as under George Bush administration.

In case you need to be reminded of facts then know that to America Africa is not a relevant geopolitical area. Indeed, Africa is not even mentioned in US newspapers. Africans may have delusions of their importance the fact is that North America and Western Europe does not pay attention to them.

Open the New Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Time (America’s three major Newspapers) and see if Africa is mentioned in months (unless Africans killing themselves become so outrageous that they cannot be totally ignored so a line or two is devoted to the latest Africans killing themselves, as in the Congo Democratic Republic, Somalia, Sudan, Liberia, Sierra Leone).

The fact is that nothing good economically comes out of Africa. Africa is a place where some Western companies come to get raw materials, such as oil, gold, diamond but beyond that Africa is irrelevant in the world’s political economy; people outside Africa do not pay much attention to Africa.

Consider: Nigeria fancies itself rich, the giant of Africa. The budget of Nigeria’s central government is about $26 billion dollars annually (and much of that money goes to paying for the swollen workers of the federal government and what is left is stolen by politicians so that only a few million dollars is devoted to capital projects).

For the purposes of comparison, consider that the budget of my Alma Mata, University of California is $26 billion dollars.

If your government’s budget is the same as the budget of a university in the USA that tells you that your country is irrelevant in the world’s economy. Did you get that point into your thick head or would you still be running around saying that you are from a rich country? Africans do not know how ridiculously poor they are!

Obama was the first black President of the USA. During much of his administration, the Republican Party of Racist Americans controlled Congress.
White racists do not even think that Africans are human beings and therefore do not care to help Africa.

Racist Republicans who controlled Congress did not permit Obama to do for Africa more than Bush did. This does not make Obama useless for Africa, as the idiot that I am responding to said in his drivel.

Now, how about Trump, is he helping Africa? He has been in office for three years. What has he done for Africa? Why is he better for Africa than Obama?

I have not done a study of Trump’s economic policy towards Africa. My hunch is that he probably does not give Africa foreign aid beyond the level that Obama did. I further suspect that he probably has reduced that aid from Obama’s levels and would eliminate it entirely if he could, if black

Americans in Congress would not fight him.

Trump has made it crystal clear that he does not want black and Latino (brown) immigrants in the USA. He says that Nigerians live in primitive huts. He called Africa shithole.

He said that he wants immigrants only from the whitest countries, such as Norway, Sweden and Denmark to come to the USA.

The man probably closes his nose when he is around Africans and Latinos (does he have a business venture in Nigeria, Africa?).

I bet you that if one did a study of the level of visas offered by the USA embassy at Nigeria under Obama and Trump that it would be less during the Trump era.

The last time, I could remember the Northern governors visited Obama and advised him to stop the sales of weapons to the Jonathan government. This led to a heavy casualty on the sides of the military and promoted the activities of boko haram. That to me is a treasonable offence on the side of the Northern governors.
Jonathan failed the nation by refusing to jail the traitors for sabotaging the Nigerian state.

Summary pls

LUGBE:
Rubbish write up, so Obama must come to Nigeria to vote buhari before we know he supported him. Look at you calling someones and his opinion idiot.

This type of rubbish should not make FB

allthingsgood:
I actually enjoyed this read, save for the unnecessary insults

But the truth is that most people who link Obama to buhari and support trump, only do that out of frustration. They hate buhari and just need someone to blame, plus no brain to actually think rationally.

StaffofOrayan:
This is total crap!

But the truth is that there’s actually a link between Obama & Buhari. Obama helped install Buhari by threatening Jonathan who was too afraid to stand his ground against an Islamic gang on his rule. That’s water under the bridge now though. What we thank God for us that the republicans are watching Nigeria closely following intelligence reports of religious persecution. That is enough to keep extremists, that want to extend the persecution of Christians to the south at bay. The Christians in the north are suffering greatly amid their own Muslim brothers.

Una get sense at all Same sex marriage is legal in most Western countries, why didn't u accuse Germany or UK of supporting buhari. BTW, aren't the whites the biggest promoters of gay marriage again Hian okorigba

Seventy7kings:
of course we needed change in 2015. The fact that General Buhari is worse doesn't means Nigeria made mistake by voting out GEJ.

What wrong did Obama do to us that you hate him and what good did Trump do for us that you hail him?

Subduer:
If you live in Nigeria you won't be asking questions like primary school children. Or are you just trolling.

Subduer:

Now you have chains, less electricity, Cattle colony, killer herdsmen, $81b foreign debt according to Obasanjo, Rubber Stamp Senate, ...

Seventy7kings:
OP, those hypocrites know that Trump has done nothing for Africa. Is it not the Trump that said he didn't want black immigrants? That called our country 'shithole'? They only hate Obama probably because they believe that he helped General Buhari to power. You people should get over GEJ loss in 2015 general elections, Nigerians voted him out, stop blaming Obama.

What wrong did Obama do to us that you hate him and what good did Trump do for us that you hail him?
