Obama's Presidency And Nigeria; 3 Reasons A Trump Win Is Good News by Papilo87(m): 12:10pm On Nov 09, 2016
I will not waste anyone's time with rigmaroles. Straight to the chase

1. Under Obama blacks were shot dead many times as never before under a recent US President

Yet he did almost nothing to reverse the trend. Even several bloody protests didn't stop the shooting of black suspects recklessly by some American policemen.

Was Obama's Presidency a blessing to black Americans? You decide

2. Under Obama What Exactly Did Africa Gain Policy Wise?

Again ask yourself and answer yourself.

3. What About Obama's Effect on Nigeria?

Obama's government clearly only recognised the Northern hegemony in Nigeria (this is not a mere tribalistic issue mind you).

Just a few weeks or months back the US government officials hosted Northern governors to a meeting we still don't know what they discussed. A top US govt official from the Home Office visited Northern Nigeria and the Sultanate to be precise. Some Nigerians complained about the messages these sort of things send but they were either ignored or told to shut up.

Obama's and the entire Democratic party govt acted like Nigeria was made up of the North and others. The kind of U-turn they did from refusing to support GEJ's fight against Boko Haram to romancing the Buhari govt was amazing . So did the brutality and corruption of the Nigerian Army end when Buhari came to power?

Hell No!!!

Same Nigerian Army has committed acts of bizarre massacre and murder of Nigerian citizens (from SHiites to Ipob protesters) but the Obama govenment embraced and resumed cooperating with them.

So you see it's not about picking up your phone and tweeting and posting nonsense without realising what is at play.

DOnald J. Trump's Presidency is good for Nigeria!!


How You ask?

Maybe it will force us to actually look at ourselves as the puppet and pests we are and concentrate on forcing our leaders and our politics to pursue meaningful development instead of playing with our sensibilities.

Those who have discerning minds may they read and understand.

Exactly my stand. Looking forward to Trump telling Buhari to his face when next he visits, leave my country, return the economy and glory of Nigeria to where it was when you were sworn in before visiting America.

Loving the winning.
