TRUMP'S FAVOURITE PROVERB IS FROM NIGERIA - BBC

Welcoming the Irish prime minister to the White House President Donald Trump quoted one of his favourite proverbs:

"Always remember to forget the friends that proved untrue. But never forget to remember those who have stuck by you."

Many Irish people have pointed out that this is not an Irish proverb, and have suggested they are the words of a Nigerian Albashir Adam Alhassan.
