President Donald Trump writes President Buhari, congratulates Nigeria on 59th independence anniversary

Read the full content of the American president’s letter below.

Dear Mr. President:

On behalf of the American people, I extend our warmest greetings and congratulate you on the 59th anniversary of Nigeria’s independence.

Nigeria is among our strongest partners in Africa. We share common goals of expanding trade and growing our economic relationship. We are allies in the global battle against terrorism, and we want to see Boko Haram and ISIS-West Africa driven out of the region and other insurgencies like them dismantled. The United States welcomes efforts by your administration to diversify opportunities for your talented, creative, and hardworking people to the benefit of both our countries, Africa, and the world.

I am pleased that following our meeting last year, our Vice Presidents are also building on our longstanding history of cooperation. I wish the people of Nigeria continued success as you mark another year of independence.

Sincerely,

Donald J. Trump

God bless Nigeria

Nothing to congratulate us for. What we have is a false sense of Independence at best.

I pray he knows what he signed in that picture

59 years of failure..

59 years of failure..

If you don't appreciate what you have gotten, you will not receive more from the universe.

Your great grandparents were very likely illiterate village peasants who walked around barefoot with little to eat, since under colonial rule, there was malnutrition, mass illiteracy and poverty across the land.

Today you have a lot more than your forbears, from roads, to flyovers, to shopping malls to universities, airports, cars, phones, computers, higher education, and opportunities. Today you can hustle and go abroad to work if you wish, with skills an independent Nigeria gave you.

Your illiterate forbears were stuck to a farm.

Today, you can initiate from nothing a start-up idea that could have millions of dollars in investment coming your way from Silicon Valley. From nothing. It happens today in Nigeria.

Appreciate where we are and you will get more.
