Ironi:


Why e pain you die now .

I thought you are a big giant wey e close his border with other African countries , why are you pained now.

Make you stay in the other side of your border now.

Yeye people living in a shithole country, abeg make we think jare.

I am actually an American citizen despite also being a citizen of Nigeria so my comments about Trump come from first hand experience.

I do not do gossip and I definitely do not do hate. I am not alone when it comes to dislike for Trump.

Many are with me and many are joining daily.

My formerly republican God father is now anti Trump and independent but he will be voting against Trump.

In this picture attached you can see both of us together and we are two very anti Trump people today and we have different colours

This is not true.

The visa limitation is due to people who overstay their visa or who enter into the US but turn around and vanish as they refuse to return to their countries.

This cuts across all Nigerians and from data my own people are chief culprits but somehow you had to assume it was done due to Muslims.

Do you even know there are American Muslims here and they are growing and buying up buildings for use as Mosques?

Because they are white, Trump will not bother but wait until people of colour try same Shiit.
I personally listened to Trump's speech concerning the visa ban. The key issue is the safety of Americans .The ban is against country with good numbers of terrorist
. The mentality of the American Muslims you are talking about is not same with what we are having here. Its high time we stop covering evil in the name of tribalism, religion and politics

You guys are amazing, you brought up NYC and couldn’t sustain that and we are now talking about CA district 28?

Schiff won that district by 78% the last time are you by any chance suggesting that the Republicans will win it this time around or they will win CA?

As fas as Trump winning re-election, incumbent Presidents always have the advantage, only a handful of US Presidents have lost re-elections; but they say Trump will win it by a landslide is overly too over presumptuous don’t you think?

Go back and look at the swing states that tip his way in 2016, he won them by a tinny percentage, some less than 1%, forget the national polls...go into those states and see if he has further expand his numbers there...also look at the midterms, when Democrats retook the House....also look at gerrymandering laws been successfully challenged and defeated and districts maps now been redrawn to accurately account for population growths, etc.

From the look of things, it will be difficult for Republicans to retake the House, the district maps are not in their favor...the Senate seem to favor the Republicans, but since they will be defending more states, it is more likely Dems will pick up more seats, what no one know if they will get enough to have a majority.

For the Presidency, it is Trump’s to loss and he is doing everything each day to loss it, but I will reserve my comments until I see who the Dem choose to represent them.

Biden will give Trump a run for his money, as he will attract people from the center and most Dems, but Dem don’t Trust him very well. Warren & Bernie will create more enthusiasm from the left and could threaten Trump if he continues to run to the far right and excite the divide in the US, therefore driving more people to the polls...there are more registered Dems in the swing states compare to Republicans, so a fully polarized US elections with a large turnout Republicans loss big time!
Americans have seen Biden as a criminal due to his son's deal in Ukraine. He won't win but he will try shaa, Bernie a socialist will give Trump a run for his money? You are really good in comedy. Warren is only good but she won't win the primaries. Dems doesn't want Bernie at all and that's why they ask him to stand out always at their rally with the excuse, you are a senator cos of the impeachment sham. Dems are losing both the house and more seats at the Senate mate. It's an easy run for Trump. In 2016, Trump win with small margin cos Dems has the power but now it's different, he will beat them hands down especially with this impeachment sham

I don't think that it has anything to do with the protest. The reason is in the last paragraph. Almost 20% of Nigerians that visit the US end up stating illegally.
Actually, this news above is incomplete. It was stated that it is due to security reasons on international news like Aljazeera. Even look at the complete list Nigeria was grouped with, you will shake your head

Do you know that it was Stephen Miller who designed the first travel ban and advocated for family separations at the U.S. Mexico border, among other anti-immigration policies?

My Nigerian brothers just follow Trump like the fools he knows they are. He is killing us but they love him
it was also Stephen Miller who advocate for family separation and caging children during Obama era?

So you want the US to announce protest as a reason ? Receive sense

Not just protest, but Nigeria has one of the largest baby incubator s in the world, churning out millions of illiterate religious biggots just waiting to get there hands on suicide belts.
Who would want those?

With open boarders, allowing the streaming in of terrorists from neighbouring countries to rig elections. Now we can't control them. Lagos State is trying to do so by banning okadas.
Even US will be afraid the next evolution may be Jihad to the US posing as Nigerians.

. Some people from a Certain part of this country has been hostile to the USA, at every time you will see them demonstrating and burning American flag for decades now, you think Americans are not noticing, it was also from that part of Nigerian we got the popular under pant Christmas day bomber
the 9/11 bombers were Saudi citizens, why didn't Trump put them on the list. Infact, Saudi Arabia, UAE and Qatar are the main sponsor of terrorism, yet they are Trump best allies. It's quite funny, that even after reading the obvious reason behind this act
A United States government official said the administration was adding Nigeria and Tanzania to the list because of the number of people who come from the African countries on a visa and end up illegally staying in the United States. The official said Sudan and Eritrea had not satisfied the administration’s information-sharing requirements.
are Tanzania and Eritrea muslim countries too? Nigerians and Tanzanians usually overstay their visa purpose; Sudan and Eritrea failed in sharing information. Can't you comprehend this simple fact.

His rallies are racist gatherings, I don't expect him to win again, cause they were few swing votes that went his way that wouldn't go his way this time, Joe Biden was the man that could have beaten him but he has soiled Joe's name with the whole Ukraine scandal, guy uses misinformation alot, his core base aren't much, it's those swing votes and American news media that kept him on air always that helped him, hopefully that wouldn't repeat itself
his poll number have always remain same even with all the media witch-hunting him. he is likely to win close to same number of electoral college vote

Lostz:

I can see you are one of those who have been deceived by the far right Media.

Obama never ran a policy that separated families or caged Children. That was a massive Trump lie as usual.

The Obama and Trump administrations operated under the same immigration laws but the "zero tolerance" policy that drove children from their parents was Trump's. It was this zero tolerance stance and policy of Trump that began family separation and caging of migrant Children.

Under Trump, the Justice Department announced its “zero-tolerance policy” for illegally entering the United States describing it as “new” and in response to an increase in unauthorized border crossings that spring.

The policy called for the criminal prosecution of everyone who enters the country illegally. As a result, nearly 3,000 children were forcibly separated from adult family members who were detained under the new policy.

While previous administrations did break up families, it was extremely rare. For example, in cases in which there was doubt about the familial relationship between a child and an accompanying adult then they break you up until the issue is resolved.

Nothing like what the Trump administration is doing has occurred before.

I live here so I know this for a fact plus if you doubt me then you can always refer to google

This is an awesome move by Mrs. America and her husband Mr. Donald.

While awaiting the retorts from Mallam Lai Mohammed on this developing story, I hereby authorize MURIC, sorry Federal Government to strongly consider revoking our Repatriation Treaty with America to buoy up support having ignited this failed image with their Islamic stupidity.

And all Nigerians whose only hope was an American Dream, can now start thinking home as China is now Corona-ised.

When he was campaigning, Trump said his supporters were so fanatical, he could shoot someone on 5th Avenue and they would still vote him in. grin
He labelled Nigeria a shithole and Nigerians lauded him. He threatens and bullys and denigrates, yet Nigerians admire because he "speaks his mind". He gives voice to closet racists everywhere but Nigerians rushed to his defence. NL had reams of pages of ppl praising Trump when he lured an Iranian general on false pretences of a Saudi message to de-escalate regional tensions only to assassinate him. That the killing had the opposite effect of ramping regional tensions up mattered not a jot.
So, we are where we are. Our strategic importance to the US under this President is equivalent to Eritrea, Mali and Tanzania. I have no problem with that but it makes a lot of Trump supporters in Nigeria look like masochistic fools with their slavish devotion to this man's vision of America's relationship to the rest of the world.

they didn't drop. I just read about his poll numbers from BBC few minutes ago. his approval rating has remain the same since he was elected.

Trump lowest approval rating was 35 just 3 Lower than Obama who lowest was 38


G. Bush 25
Clinton 37
Truman 22
Nixon 24
Carter 28
these are just some president who got lower approval rating than Trump so stop lying.


Trump has a very low rating when he was a candidate but still won. he will win the electoral college as usual losing the popular vote
