hope he remembers that he is from an immigrant descendants. he is everything of a bigot. a male chauvanist, and bloody racist. egomaniac.


Everyone is an immigrant to a place historically or otherwise. However, does that mean we should allow any Tom, Dick and Harry into a country? We're residents in places we don't come from. Does it mean we should start inhabiting the indigenes of the area in our houses because we bought lands and built houses in their area?

Singapore, Japan, Botswana and Israel are examples of nations with very strict immigration laws. Yet immigrants made up various countries.

As harsh as the statement might be, he's right. Nations have the right to protect their borders, Trump is doing it the best way he deems fit, and constitutionally, he is empowered to.

DID HE LIE?

When someone insults me, I don't immediately castigate. I weigh the statement and ask myself...

Is this statement TRUE? Is there any iota of TRUTH to it? With honest personal introspection, I look inward and judge. If I see any semblance of truth o the statement, I immediately initiate a process to make AMENDS where necessary.

If it is not, I don't judge the abuser... I simply pity his ignominy and shallow mind.

I fear Trump's statement has (not an iota) but a Plethora of Truths to it!

African people should wake up and DEMAND Excellence!

The Land is not cursed. The People are.

nobody is saying he shouldn't protect their borders. but denigrating other countries and calling Africa a shithole is unpresidential.

they should keep their aids.

And the minister for information, Special Assistant on media and Onochie will pretend as if they never heard of this........Why won't Trump make such comment when most African leaders especially Nigeria refused to be independent.

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

I feel sorry for you. They have got you finally. I live in the West and I bet you many Nigerians here wish to return home to that shithole. If you think the comfort in western world is everything in life...then until you get there. Many westerners with their so called advanced society live miserable life. Many years ago I met an European who said many people in the West are less happier and that when he travel to countries like Brazil that has sizable population of poor people he does not seem to understand why these poor people who live in abject poverty live a happier life. That all their needs are simple and easily met.

About poor Africans dieing to cross over to the West, until they get there they will realize that most of their expectations are illusion from watching too much Hollywood movies.

If only the government can fix basic amenities, people have no reason to come here except for sightseeing.

Why are people overreacting to this Trump comment? Is it that they are ignorant of the meaning of 'shithole' or of who Trump is?

Canada will soon start having a hardline immigration policy after we have started flooding the place, 90% of everyone that I know that traveled in the last couple of years went to Canada.


Till then its still a better option than the US and its advisable people take advantage of the lax immigration policy

That means Trump is stupid and doesn't understand how immigration works, why would anyone from Norway or any Scandinavian country wants to migrate to the US when Norway as a better quality of life, better health care system, better education system and people don't walk around with guns in Norway. US is nothing more than an advanced third world country only someone that has never been there will think otherwise.

That is obvious. He can't probably tell where haiti is on a map or where Nigeria is located in Africa. He is just an outspoken racist. Although still better than a closet racist. His outburst could also have been worse...he could have easily called us "blacks" low IQ people by using Nigeria or its people as a case study...
He has zero class and most likely one of the most hated person in the world right now. Even Canada felt the effect of his election as the POTUS, it became more racist when trump got sworn in. I became a liberal shortly after.

Are these people defending Trump on here actually Nigerians/blacks

The context of his statement matters. Let me try and break it down for you:

Example A

Me: Nigeria is a sh*thole country. Too much greed, corruption, 419, ritual killings, boko haram etc.

Example B:

Job Recruitment Officer: Why do we hire people from sh*thole countries such as from Africa, India, Haiti etc. I would rather hire Merit based such as people from Norway

Example A is what you're arguing; Example B is what the sh8thead Trump is advocating for when you replace employment with immigration

Just butt hurt Democrats that want there useless immigration bill passed so they are playing the race card to get the masses upset. Say no to FAKE/GARBAGE NEWS don't believe everything you read just because it says NY Times, wall Street journal, etc.

This came out yesterday, you slowpoke. The story you’re referring to was the huts comment, which he said last year and only became public recently. Go learn how to read.

I was actually wondering the same thing. I believe nairaland has been infiltrated by non Africans with the things I’m reading. They only comment in Trump threads.

No matter the context the president of United States using such a language to describe some other country is reprehensible.

The bolded parts of your comment justified the reason why Trump has every right to call Africa a shithole...what are you guys doing in his homeland Why did you flee your country to another man's already made safe heaven where you ran to find life easy; with all basic amenities of life in place....why didn't you and others stay back and lets all bravely face these so called demons in government destroying our nation

Africa remains a shithole to the West and other developed world until we can be able to fix our leadership system and begin to govern ourselves like humans and not like animals as being done in Nigeria now by the current people in government.

Human lives doesn't matter here....the president, governors, senators, etc don't care when an ordinary citizen is killed or murdered in cold blood....we move about like nothing is wrong....murder, i mean gruesome murder everyday in Nigeria being sponsored by same people in government, and you think Nigeria is not a shithole Come on guy, this nation is messed up....we need people to tell us the bitter truth if that will make us wake up and demand the best from our useless politicians.
