Very true, Elon's father is South African while his mother is Canadian. He went to Canada to study then started Zip2 and sold it for millions of dollars. He then crossed into USA. Being the kind of person he is, America is wise not to deport such a person and I'm sure he must have been asked to regularise his documentation with him paying no attention.
Elon musk came into the US legally as a transfer student from Queen's university Ontario in Canada to University of Pennsylvania his documentation was legal and regular

What the heck do you know about America from your Nigerian hideout. A Nigerian lapping up the rear of a vile racist who hates people that looks like you. No wonder Trampy called your country a shiiithole . When it comes to America, guys like you have no say except to come and spout your junk. The two of us you quoted are confirmed Americans. Tend to Nigeria because charity begins at home.
Lol, Mr. Lucasbalo with his usual retort grin(only God knows how many times I've seen you use these exact same lines on nairaland) You're beginning to sound like a broken record cheesy I know you have nothing more to offer than insults and calling trump a racist without any shred of evidence. I have learnt to laugh at your hysterics because it's very funny to see you get all worked up over nothing. I just hope you will have enough sense to not hurt yourself when this your latest hysterical crowing about Cohen comes to nothing. TDS is real and not good for your health

Let Trump deport all these immigrants and revoke their citizenship then we'll know whats left of America...

The real owners of America are red Indians... every other person in America are immigrants... tongue

Hence, Mr. Trump open ur doors let us enter cos ur parents were once immigrants...

Also my great grand fathers, father's sister's uncle was among the people that those Europeans took as slaves to America and i want to come and visit his tomb to pay my last respect grin
All those people on the list came into the US legally and Trump is not against that, what he is fighting against is illegal immigration. Let the op show us any company that has been founded by illegal immigrants then we can start talking. BTW, illegal immigration is a crime everywhere in the world so why should the US be different? Can u waltz across the border into Cameroon without proper documentation and not expect to be arrested? Which country in the world has an open border policy? All of you are just being hypocritical, we are here complaining about how porous our borders are and yet we are attacking someone who is trying to provide tight security at his country's borders. Trump was elected to protect America's constitution, sovereignty and territorial integrity and he is doing just that

This Trump guy needs to be schooled on the positive impacts of the immigrants to his America success story
You're the one who needs to be schooled, Trump isn't against immigrants, he is against illegal immigration. Crossing people's borders and entering illegally is a crime everywhere in the world. I don't know why people are so dumb!! So he should just open US borders and allow every tom, dick and harry to come in?

As president Trump of the United States of America continues his onslaught against immigrants, rolling out tough policies all in a bid to discourage hard working immigrants from entering the country it’s important for him to be reminded that almost all the biggest and richest tech companies in America were founded by immigrants. He should however think of how it would have been if previous presidents had stopped the parents of this founders from entering the United States. It is worthy to note that most of these people came into the United States as poor people but today, they and their children helped built the US to what it become today. I have compiled a list of all the major tech companies whose founders are not originally from the United States but were immigrants from other countries. These companies would not have existed in the United States without immigrants. These founders have called on the US to keep it’s doors wide open to immigrants. Maybe Trump should see this list and have a rethink.


1. Amazon : Founder Jeff Bezos whose father Mike Bezos was a Cuban immigrant. Today he’s the world’s richest man.

3. Google: Co-founder Sergey Brin was Born in Russia but moved to Maryland. He is already joining other immigrants to protest against Trump policy.

The bolded is complete bullshit!!! President Trump isn't against immigrants coming to the US, he is simply saying that they must come in legally not illegally crossing the borders. I'll be waiting for you to show me how many companies have been founded by Illegal immigrants. Nonsense!! You will tell me any country in the world where people can just waltz across the borders illegally and not be arrested

Dude Mikel is a bigger failure... his career is finished I'm pretty sure he is disappointed in himself going by his initial trajectory at success in football
Bloody nincompoop!! If you're not an immature overgrown baby who knows nothing about life, you will know that in life everybody can't reach the same heights and achievements, no matter how successful you are, there will be people above u and others below. Will u call BUA, Ibeto, otedola, Uzor Kalu, MKO Abiola e.t.c failures in business because they didn't make as much money as dangote? Yet even dangote himself will look up and see the likes of bill gates above him. Will you call ken saro wiwa, elechi Amadi, flora nwapa e.t.c failed writers because they didn't achieve the heights of a wole Soyinka or chinua Achebe? Will u call Donald duke, Tinubu, Peter obi e.t.c who were governors at the same time with GEJ unsuccessful politicians just because GEJ went ahead to become president and they didn't? You're just an immature kid who has a lot to learn about life

Why would i compare him to these ones who were never honoured in that tournament...

The best player was Messi Next to him Was Mikel ... Now Messi is kilometers ahead of him.. you say he won everything? like his impact was instrumental.. He was just Lucky to have been part of a team who "spoonfed" his success.. cuz he did nothing to warrant these titles

Victor Valdez the Useless goal keeper has won everything there is to win in football but we all know he is the Worst keeper in history...

dude get a life and stop being emotional here
You're dumb as fvck!! All those players I mentioned won the best players award during their own time at junior level. I didn't tell u they played in the same tournament as mikel, but then again it is clear that u have no clue who those names I mentioned are and if u don't know those names I mentioned, then what the hell do u know about football? undecided

I can see you are frustrated in life, send me your account number.


Mikel is a failure!
Abeg shut the fvck up!!! Who the fvck are u? If you see Mikel face to face can u open your stinking mouth and call him a failure? Someone who won everything in club football and also won the nations cup, rose to become captain of the super eagles for years and you're calling him a failure? Why are you comparing him to only Messi and aguero? Why not compare him to other people who also starred at junior level but never achieved what Mikel did? Robinho, Freddy adu, borjan kirkic, dos Santos, souleyman coulibaly, florent sinama pongolle, Wilson oruma, xisco e.t.c are all players who lit up the u17 and u20 world cups and won best players of the tournament, how many of them achieved what Mikel did? Mikel is one of the most successful players out there so just take your stupidity and shove it where the sun don't shine!!!

There is an Igbo woman fighting and demanding for action against killer herdsmen but clowns like Kyase and omenkalives whose people are the ones being killed will be on nairaland defending the Dullardin. I was in markudi for a program recently, I stayed in a hotel called hallidays hotel, the vice president was visiting markudi that day and I went to where the event was holding and I was shocked to see a large number of IDP's, I mean people who have basically become refugees in their own country, in their own state!!! that's why I get mad whenever I see posts from clowns like kyase and omenka, how on earth can someone still be so dumb and stupid in the face of a calamity like this? We met with the minister of Agriculture Audu Ogbeh on that day and you could see the old man was visibly overcome by emotion because of the plight of these IDP's. Yet some people who call themselves Tiv people will rather sing the praises of their Fulani oppressors and even believe them when they tell them that it's their fellow Tiv people that are killing people in Benue. Sometimes I wonder if these clowns have any brain at all. Miyetti Allah has severally taken responsibility for these killings and even given reasons why the killings are justified yet you close your ears to that but you readily believe this evil government when they tell u it's Suswam your fellow Tiv that is killing his own people, the same Suswam that spent almost all of his second term agitating against the killings in Benue. Let me ask u, was it Suswam that was killing Benue people during his own tenure? They are now telling you that Suswam is behind the killings to discredit Ortom's government and u stupidly believe that crap forgetting that the killings have been on even when Suswam was in power. Was it Suswam trying to destabilize his own government back then? Is it Suswam killiing people in plateau, taraba, nassarawa, adamawa and even some parts of the south west, south east and south south? Is it Suswam killing people in all those places? What does the killings in all those places have in common? Simple, just one thing, FULANI HERDSMEN!!!

stephanie11:
@POLITICSNGR

A man identified as Chima Amadi has revealed that Former governor, Gabriel Suswam, who was recently arrested by the Department of state security services, DSS, once engaged in a gun battle with Fulani Herdsmen.

Amadi, took to Twitter to narrate how Suswam also predicted that President Muhammadu Buhari would have him arrested. PoliticsNGR has gotten his tweets, read them below;

Suswam stilled his look at me and took a deep sigh and said “Doc, I am certain that Buhari will arrest me very soon, not because of any corruption but because he knows I know too much about these killings. He won’t stop the killings”.This was in 2016 but first a background. Thread

I was just settling down in London in 2016 as a Chevening Scholar at the London School of Economics when I got a desperate call from a friend who is from Benue. She was weeping and told me stories of ongoing massacres in her village by Herdsmen with no one reporting them while

CSOs and influencers went silent. She said no one wanted to speak up cos they all supported the new govt of PMB. I informed her that I also campaigned and support the govt but that was no reason to condone the kind of murders that she just described. I promised to get back to her

And started surfing the net for any information on ongoing killings in the Benue. True to what she told me, information was scanty with only untrustworthy blogs and citizen reporters alluding to anything of the sorts. The Benue state Gov Ortom himself was singing the praises of

The new govt. knowing who this friend was, I knew she was not one to raise a false alarm especially when she had told me that five of her uncles in the village had already Benn hacked to death. She sent me picture evidence via WhatsApp. I made some calls back home but most

The usual vocal voices were not interested. The opinion then was that the outgone govt of GEJ messed up and it would take time for things to come back to normal esp as there were signs that the Boko Haram terrorists were being repressed and overwhelmed by the new admin.

However, when I saw more pictures and videos, this time of pregnant women being disemboweled by the herdsman and some local youths engaging in Cannibalism( roasting and eating a herdsman), I knew I had to act. I flew into Nigeria the next week and started putting in place

A CSO Colloquium on the crises . My approach was to use my networks and connections to get prominent figures from both divides to come speak in a nationally televised event. The Sec-Gen of the Miyyeti Allah is someone I have known very closely for over 20 years.

I then reached out to some Benue Citizens and that was how I contacted Gabriel Suswam, the former Gov of Benue state. After a few hiccups we finally met late one night in his home. What he told me was chilling. Due to National Security concerns I will not reveal certain aspects

Of our discussion, but he was very bitter. He said during the transition between GEJ’s govt and the incoming PMB administration, he was summoned to the Villa and GEJ took him to the then President -Elect. GEJ told PMB in Suswam’s presence that he wants only one favor from PMB

He told PMB that he didn’t care if he was probed or if his administration’s efforts at national development was reversed but PMB should please do something for him. According to Suswam,GEJ informed PMB that the brewing Herdsmen crises could eclipse the BH insurgency in its

Ramifications and implications for national cohesion and that if not tackled with expediency Nigeria may not recover.He said he had set up a committee chaired by Suswam to travel round the world looking for solutions and that they now fully have a plan that can resolve the issue

Once and for all. He begged PMB to invite Suswam for talks and to look at the recommendations of that committee. Suswam told me that he was made the Chair of the committee for an incident that happened in his state. Sometime in 2014, herdsman had sacked whole villages, killed,

raped women and burnt farms and homes of communities in rural areas in Benue. He said he didn’t believe the reports he was getting until he started seeing refugees pouring into Makurdi. One day, he mobilized his entourage which included policemen, press, soldiers and others

And proceeded to see things for himself in those communities. He said when they got to a few kilometres to the village the soldiers in his convoy, acting on instructions from HQ refused to proceed any further but he insisted on continuing. Ten minutes into the trip all hell was

Let loose. They were ambushed by Herdsmen and a battle ensued. A barrage of gunshots was unleashed on them from all sides. He said there were over 100 well-armed Herdsmen shooting at them. Done in the convoy retreated but he was already in the middle and so decided to fight for

His life. He took an AK from one of the retreating mopol men and with a few others that remained with him faced the Herdsmen fire for fire. He told me he was a trained marksman having lived in the US. In the process, two one of his security aides were shot but they continued

Fighting until the Herdsmen retreated. He said he left for Markurdi and returned the next day fully prepared and saw how villages had been taken over by cows. This time, the Herdsmen didn’t shoot him and some of them pulled out their phones and were snapping him. He decided

There and then that if he did nothing Benue would be overrun. He took actions that saw to a curtailing of the actions of these killers. It was against this backdrop that GEJ made him the chairman of the Committee. I am tired now. When I get some rest I will narrate the encounter

Between Suswam and PMB and why the latter feared for his life. keep a date . Sorry for any typos pls.
