The Hypocrisy of a Nation That Cannot Face Its Shame

By
Sa'adiyyah Hassan

You are angry with Donald Trump not because he lied, but because he told the truth. You are angry that he called your country what it has become a disgrace a nation that cannot protect its own citizens, a government that rewards killers, and a people who cheer for their oppressors while booing those who dare to speak the truth.

Yet, the same people who foam at the mouth when Trump says “protect your citizens” are the ones applauding China a country that has turned parts of Nigeria into mining outposts, draining the soil, polluting the rivers, and looting gold from Zamfara while corpses pile up in the same land.

This is not patriotism.
This is pathological self-deception.

1. Truth hurts only when you’re living in denial

When Trump called Nigeria “a disgrace,” he didn’t manufacture the evidence. It’s there visible, daily, and measurable.

Terrorists roam free while soldiers and police die unpaid.

Citizens kidnapped in hundreds, and their families pay ransom through banks that the government refuses to track.

Students murdered for “blasphemy,” and the killers walk free.

Billions looted in palliative funds while millions starve.

If that’s not disgrace, what word fits better?
“Glory”? “Progress”? “Greatness”?

It takes a special kind of blindness to defend failure simply because the critic isn’t wearing your flag.

2. You cheer the thief because he smiles in Mandarin

While you’re busy cursing Trump, Chinese contractors and miners are quietly carting away Nigeria’s natural wealth under “bilateral agreements” that are nothing but economic servitude.

In Zamfara, Niger, Nasarawa, and Kaduna, Chinese nationals have been repeatedly caught in illegal gold and lithium mining operations, some arrested with security escort. Rivers are poisoned, lands destroyed, and communities displaced but the government looks away because the looters come with soft loans and polite smiles.

In Niger State, over 500 illegal mining sites were exposed, most operated by foreign interests with local collaborators. In Nasarawa, villagers have protested against Chinese miners who polluted their only water source. Yet no serious prosecution followed.

The same people defending these deals shout “racism” when Trump speaks, as though patriotic indignation is treason.

China’s interests are not charity. They are business ruthless, calculated, and in their favour. But you mistake exploitation for friendship, because it comes in the language of “infrastructure development.”

3. The West says ‘fix your country’ the East says ‘sign here’

Western leaders criticize Nigeria because they see a country that refuses to help itself. They tie aid to accountability. They demand reform. They insist on human rights.

But China doesn’t care. China doesn’t ask questions about governance, corruption, or security. China just brings loans, takes resources, and leaves you with debt and pollution.

And you clap like slaves applauding the chain that glitters.

When Trump says, “Protect your people,” you call him racist.

When China says, “Give us your gold and pay interest,” you call it partnership.

That’s not national pride.
That’s mental colonisation in Chinese wrapping paper.

4. Patriotism is not defending failure it’s demanding better

A true patriot doesn’t attack those who point out his nation’s wounds. He demands those in power heal them. If Donald J. Trump's comment angers you more than the massacres in Benue, Plateau, and Zamfara your patriotism is fake. If you hate him more than you hate the officials stealing your future you are part of the rot.

You cannot scream “sovereignty” when foreign companies control your mines, your ports, your loans, and your power grids. You cannot boast of independence when foreign drones map your territory for “investment opportunities.”

And you cannot claim dignity when you defend a government that arrests protesters but negotiates with terrorists.

5. The real disgrace is not Trump’s statement it’s our reaction

The disgrace is a country that spends billions rehabilitating killers but abandons the victims.

The disgrace is the silence of religious and political leaders who see evil and call it politics.

The disgrace is citizens who would rather fight the truth-teller than confront the truth.

Trump said what every honest Nigerian knows but fears to say aloud: The nation has become a parody of governance rich in excuses, poor in courage.

If you can’t handle that truth, it’s because you’ve mistaken complacency for loyalty and silence for strength.

6. Choose your shame wisely

You are angry with Trump for saying your house is on fire. But you are bowing to China while they quietly steal your roof, your door, and the very ground under your feet.

You hate the man who warned you,
and you celebrate the one who robs you.

If that’s not disgrace, what is?

Until Nigerians learn to confront truth with humility instead of rage, they will continue to trade dignity for deception cheering the thieves, silencing the prophets, and calling betrayal “diplomacy.”

The real enemy isn’t Trump.
The real enemy is the cowardice that cannot bear to look in the mirror.

In my opinion, the only reason the coup plotters were not quickly published and made to face the music was because it was not led by an Igbo person or Igbo has nothing to do with the coup.

If this coup was done or led by Igbos. the Ibadan news rooms will masturbate on it for 300 years. I guess they are majorly Northerners and we know South West fears the North like mad

We are watching

Interesting times ahead indeed.

Nigeria we hail thee

Lol.

Men with no honour. He posted on his Facebook yesterday. You need to see the insults his people responded with.

Elon Musk wields a ton of influence.

Before you say Money is vanity. Make sure you make a shit load of it

“History has no place for over-cautious people”

Thank you so dearly, Abdul Mahmud the Oracle himself.

It is annoying reading seemingly educated people who claim to want a better society emboldening a shameless blackmailer by trying to talk his victim out of holding him legally accountable.

Just like you noted, when Atiku sued that alleged human called Laureate Onochie, these emergency advisers were silent. When Tinubu did the same against Dokpesi and AIT, no pim from them. Now that it is Obi, they have activated the generational conditioning the Nigerian state infected them with. Even Donald J. Trump from the so-called saner clime doesn’t allow people mess with his reputation without legal consequences. 18th of July Trump sued wall Street Journal demanding they appear in court with evidence of what they published about him. That case is still in court.

Since Obi sued Bayo Onanuga, has anyone heard reckless statement about Obi from his mouth again?

Deji is a lawyer, let's go and know who is wrong or right in court. Deji said he has evidence Peter is corrupt. Best place to depose evidence is in court. If Deji presents that. Obi is finished. If Obi wins. Deji is also finished and may go to jail

A man who has been serially defamed has finally taken steps to defend his reputation, and suddenly there are voices preaching caution. Strikingly, the loudest of these voices come from Igbo handles online. But here lies the paradox: the greatest danger any ethnic group that has consistently been handed the short end of the stick faces is not open hostility from others, but its own instinct for risk aversion. Where boldness is demanded, it preaches restraint. Where a fight for dignity is necessary, it counsels silence.

This over-caution is not neutrality; it is a quiet surrender, dressed in the garb of prudence. Other groups do not behave this way. Atiku went to court against Onochie for defamation; Tinubu did the same against Dokpesi and AIT. In neither case did their ethnic groups rise to caution them against the pursuit of justice. They understood, instinctively, that reputation is political capital, and to defend it is not only personal but collective.

When people make a habit of holding back, when they swallow insults in the name of caution, they diminish themselves. They teach the world that their rights are negotiable, their dignity expendable. Risk aversion, carried to this extreme, becomes a form of internal sabotage. It conditions a people to expect little, demand less, and accept whatever crumbs power deigns to throw their way.

History has no place for over-cautious people. Rights are not granted to those who whisper themselves politely; they are won by those willing to assert their rights, even at risk. An ethnic group that recoils from this truth will forever be defined by others, rather than defining itself.

Why am i struggling at believing this.

Media must sell papers. They must come up with click bates

We too play in Nigeria.

People gain notoriety for doing the most dumb things

In this picture is: 🎯The Elite votes of the the entire nation; the people who truly wish the country to get better beyond any sentiment(s) IRO who is President.

🎯The bloc Islamic vote of the North: "the Alhaji say..." voters.

🎯It's the southern turn, so, let's vote for "the favourite" Southern candidate voters of the South.

🎯And finally, the Nzogbu Nzogbu votes of the East.

The voters excluded from this pics are:

💥The bigotry votes of the west

💥And, paid political jobbers scattered all over the country.

So, my advice for PBAT!

Sir, on the road to 2027, you gat job to do, otherwise this combo go rattle and make you sweat come 2027;

that your supposedly macro economics success, now is the time to drive it to micro success, so that the suffering masses can feel good governance in this government of yours this remaining two years before the elections, because where you can't. Sir, the election nor go easy Ooo.

Baba, good governance still remains a clear path for you, not gathering double tongue hypocrites like Reno Omokri, Daniel Bwala political hype men and office surviving politicians around you.

I still insist, one f#cking good policy from you and your team, you will sit, watch and see the many country men and women who have chided you this past two years, start cheering you the next two years and queueing behind you.

2023 is not far. The North made you president if you truly won. That extra vote from the north made the difference. Peter Obi won Southern Nigeria. He will still win it again in 2027 no matter the party he runs from. His base is unshakable.

Buhari is dead. The CPC block. The tickest of Fulani are queuing behind Elrufai. For fear of political persecution from your vindictive cabal. The governors and senators are dancing skelewu with your mind. They need the money to keep flowing till its time for election.

Did you remember, the governors and senators only decamped to APC in 2014 8 months to election. It will happen again.

Do not be deceived by governors decamping to APC. History should teach you that governors have one vote. In recent memory. Peter obi with no governors, Senator or local counsellor shook the entire nation and swept the south. Your vote in South was pushed up by Rivers. Wike is no longer governor. He can't move around in Portharcourt like he did in 2023. If he tries it. Potharcourt boys will bomb him. More over, Amaechi has a point to now prove to ADC that Rivers is still his city. Wike has insulted all the stake holders in Rivers.
Wike can't manage FCT and rivers on Election day. While Wike will battle Amaechi, Celestine Omehia, Odili,and Fubara in Rivers. Peter Obi will win FCT again. A rude shock is what im seeing.

Your boys are probably relying on the fact that IG of police is Yoruba so rigging will be easy. I bet you it won't be easy. IG is one person. Northerners are still majority in police.

We know for sure that you will remove INEC chairman Mahmud before 2027 election and bring in a Yoruba man. The North is aware and waiting but they have a plan i won't say yet.

You see that your statement that Nigerians should not reelect you if you don't provide stable power. It is currently being translated in Hausa and Fulani. It will be played in all radio stations and mosques before election

I advice you as a good spirited individual who wishes everyone I cross their path well amidst our ideological differences, because make Nigeria better is my ONLY aim and gain. #Patriot.


I am Built2last and i offer unsolicited advice

See. How true is it that Igbos will always chose competence over tribe.

They voted OBJ, YarAdua and OBJ.

They didn't vote Buhari. He turned out to be a major disaster.

They didn't vote Tinubu. No comment

Why are Nigerians making this news seem like it's only Nigerians this is impacting

Its for every entry into UK. They are making their visa approvals e-visa. Thats just it.

We all know that in the next 10 to 15 years. Your international passport will disappear. You won't have to carry international passport anymore.

Finger print will replace passport for travels.

There won't be immigration officers. when you arrive you put your face and your finger and the gate will open. if it doesn't open, you go back to where you came from.

That's the scary future.

favor914:
Tinubu is beating the drums, u are all dancing to his beat again, 2027 is a freaking waste of time.

No one even u, on Election Day will vote otherwise to jump from frying pan to fire, based on personal hatred for oneself, cutting your nose to spite your ears.

The devil u know, is always better, so they say, Obi & Atiku have nothing to offer in their hallucinations when they get to Aso Rock, other than telling that they will need 20 years minimum for fix Nigeria because of APC.

So by you assertions, we should continue with this suffering because Tinubu is the devil we know? Nawa

favor914:
no sensible northerner will vote for Abubakar atiku, there are much much better qualified candidates from the north than this desperate man, the northern elite will never allow him become president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

More so deputized by an over sabi igbo man.

If you have any understanding of political permutations based on available facts.

Atiku would have been your president now if not that the PDP votes was split between Obi and Atiku.

Northern elites have nothing do do with this.

It's about numbers, it's about votes. Atikus vote plus that of Obi will floor APC and Tinubu

If INEC reform is not in it.

Many can't be bothered unfortunately

I have been watching the political space since ADC was launched last week and the speeches from presidency and Wike has shown nothing but deep concerns about the coalition.

Wike has gone all out attacking whoever can be attacked.

Finally found why

Atiku votes plus Obi votes will floor APC even if the election holds today.

It's so concerning that even if you add Kwankwaso votes to Tinubu. ADC will still win.

Now that will scare anyone.

What do you think?

It will be difficult to sell Tinubu in 2027 with that statement on power.

They will translate that to all Nigerian languages and many won't vote him

All of you saying the lack zero intelligence did not get the memo.

The vigilante said they were on the tail of the terrorists when air force took them out.

That's clear mission. That seems to be like a carefully plotted act to stop the vigilantes from carrying out their mission.

Think about it. If vigilante succeeds, where will air force get the money we are spending on security from. Terrorism and banditry is now a business that makes military personnel rich

The north has turned their back on Baba Blue.

Anything to make the east and South South happy will be jumped on

PDP is clearly a joke. what and how else do you define anti-party yet they can't get Wike out of the party.

They should put PDP on ebay for sale

ok

No be Naija

Your Boss is a packaged drug dealer

We don't have regulators in Naija. In western world, they will move in to investigate and your boss license will be revoked forever.

But hey, even regulators will read this and keep scrolling. When we say All is not well with Naija people will think we are hating

Naija and packaging.

These are from Temu

The hustle is real

All these bought endorsements.

When will the voting masses be bought. Cause that's what matters

A certain candidate whn Nigeria was slightly better didn't pay shishi and got 6 million votes. Won Lagos and Abuja.

Yet, we wont hear the last of endorsements. Calm down 2027 is still far

Educationalserv:
which is constant Claim . Jonathan 6 year Obasanjo 8 year Tinibu 4 before been sent back to Lagos .
20 years VS 10 year North

start from 1960 sir. That will be a fair assessment. or were Ghanaians ruling us from 1960

amaridigital:
No Peter Agulu can stop Tinubu. Your over-exaggerated North versus South narrative is dead on arrival because even a fool could see that there are more defections to and support for the Apc from Northern Nigeria due to the tactics of Ganduje and the love for Asiwaju. Almost all the northern blocks have endorsed Tinubu. There are more Apc Governors and senators in the North and it will be very impossible for these people to work for the Agulu boy.
The North versus South narrative just like the past islamization or baba wey no well narrative has been bursted already so we are waiting for a new one.

Typical brainless gibberish. Just go back to 2023 posts. Obi has no clout. Online twitter voters. He has no structure, no political heavy weights with him. He has no real followership.

Yet he shocked all of you. You had politicians, federal might. You had to announce result at midnight and tampered with electoral machines and result.

Try and remember history. It doesn't cost much to use your brain.

2027 is tilting towards North vs South.

APC supporters must now that people are not decamping or supporting Tinubu because he is fantastic.

It's simply because the South is tired of the North's constant claim that Power belongs to them and that they can get what they want.

2027 will tell.

The only way the North will have their way is to give presidential ticket to someone like Peter Obi and maybe Lamido Sanusi as VP. It will be a real battle for Tinubu.

Anything shot of that Tinubu will win. Even me, if i'm in Nigeria will vote him. Power can't go back to the North yet. Never

kunyeo:
WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU TOO AS A PERSON? ONCE YOU CAN ANSWER THIS,THEN YOU HAVE THE ANSWER TO ALLL THE QUESTIONS ABOVE!

There is nothing wrong with me.

I went to school. 2 Degrees in Nigeria. One from U.S

Have a thriving business in UK. Planning on expanding to other cities in UK.

Made it to HSBC award 2023...

When the business climate in Nigeria is solid. I will come down to invest.
Remember, you asked me a question and i have answered you.

For now, who are you and what do you do?
