A White Man Learns The Meaning Of "Maga" In Nigeria, Blasts Americans by Nobody: 10:15am On Mar 02, 2018
A popular American author @Kurteichenwald has taken to his twitter page to blast the Americans who voted for the United state president "Donald Trump" after learning the meaning of what "Maga" (Make America Great Again) slogan the USA president uses to what it means in Nigeria.

He Wrote:

Most amazing thing I have learned today.

MAGA - you know, like Make America Great Again - is in Nigerian parlance a word that means easily fooled idiot.

So, hey there all you MAGA folks - Nigeria knew what you were long before the rest of us did.
