Who Hillary Clinton Epp?

By Reno Omokri

On Election Day 2016, I urged all my friends to go out and vote for Donald Trump with the following message:

'Get out and vote for the unborn fetus, get out and vote for God ordained marriage between a man and a woman, get out and vote against transgender bathrooms, get out and vote against Roe V Wade, get out and vote for Donald J. Trump! He might not be perfect, but he will promote those conservative values that have kept a check on the moral fabric of society and nominate conservative Supreme Court Justices.'

And why were my people so appalled? Because we are an emotional people who take decisions based on what we want right now rather than what we want eventually.

Most African Americans voted for Hillary because they bought into the lie peddled by the mainstream media that Trump is a racist. Most Black Africans supported Hillary because they did not want Trump to clamp down on immigration into the US.

But my people failed to take into account the big picture!

What are our cultural values as a Race? Do we as Black people, whether African American or Black African, really support gay rights and gay marriage? Trust our copy cat culture, if Hillary had been elected she would have strengthened the gay marriage lobby and her Supreme Court nominees would have made it a reality and the next thing you know we would want to copy it hook line and sinker.

But let me get technical. What did Hillary Clinton do for Nigeria or Africa when she was Secretary of State?

My people are just too sentimental and forget how she dithered and resisted naming Boko Haram as a terrorist group. We have forgotten how she led the effort to use the Leahy Law to frustrate Nigeria's efforts to buy weapons from the US and when we could not buy from them she and her contemporaries also frustrated our efforts to buy from Israel.

My big question to Nigerians especially is this-Who Hillary Clinton Epp? Our follow follow is too much. In real economic terms what did we stand to gain from Hillary Clinton?

Though I have been a life long Republican since first coming to America as a nine year old, I suspend that status in 2008 to support a fellow Black man, President Obama out of purely primordial reasons (he is Black as I am) but to be honest, what has Africa and Nigeria gained from eight years of Obama in the White House?

He never visited Nigeria. He never packaged any special economic package for Nigeria or Africa.
Say whatever you want to say about former President George W Bush but no other US President has been as radical in his support to Africa as Bush number 43!

For giving more than $5 billion in humanitarian aid to Africa annually, President Bush goes on record as having given more assistance to Sub Saharan Africa than any other president including President Obama!

At least with Trump we know that he will take on ISIS and other radical Islamic groups and that includes Boko Haram!

Moreover, Trump has pledged to curb China's global dominance and to do that he would have to match China dollar for dollar in Africa and when China and the US compete Africa gains.
I am with Reno on this one.

Just say you want to find faults.
Skills alone is not what it takes to succeed in today's workplace - dedication and passion actually go a long long way. Do you know the failures Mark experienced on his journey to creating what is known as Facebook today?

Neither was it stated anywhere that they were lacking in skills, you simply chose to take a statement and interpret as you want. Let's try and be constructive with our criticism abeg.

Sleekyshuga:
@ OP,

Having read Americanah and others (except for The Thing Around Your Neck), I'll say your observations and critique are laudable but then, that literary work was centered on the harsh realities of life, and not basically morals.

She is a realist and I appreciate her for that. Truly, the society has declined to such state as described in her book, Americanah.


Well, if you want something on morals, Purple Hibiscus will do the magic for you though at a point, I felt nauseated sad as the way which Eugene brought up his kids was way too crude (my opinion). He was overly religious (a practicing Catholic) who was violent to his household (the book will explain better). Severally, he subjected them to psychological and physical cruelty that his wife, Beatrice had no other option than poisoning him while her son, Jaja stood in for her, and went to jail.

No, she is not overrated (for an African female writer) tongue but cannot be compared to the Achebes, Elechis etc.. Those were icons of literary works..
Chai! Spoiler alert embarassed
I am currently reading Purple Hibiscus and still in the early chapters..

We call them all sort of names. From dongo, alimajiri, dullard, fulani to hausa. ......etc. The list is endless

Yet they dictate the Nigeria political sphere.

They own majority of the Nigeria Oil wells.

They dominate the political appointments

Riding expensive Cars (despite the recession)

Claiming "born to rule"

Yet we call the Aboki, fools etc but they are seriously searching for crude oil right there in the desert while the NDA are busy blowing up oil pipes polluting their water, creeks, farm lands etc.

Now my question is who actually is the fool? These guys are wiser than the rest of us.
Please kindly speak for yourself.

What is the point in a select few enjoying wealth when majority of the people in the region are in dire poverty? That is not wisdom. If they were truly wise, they would empower their people. Nuff said.

Nobody is saying corruption is okay. Nobody is saying that pastors milking their members dry is ok. Just like gay marriage for me is not ok. So not ok. Its an unnatural relationship. Just like a man or a woman sleeping with an animal is not unnatural. What they call bestiality. And talking of the Bible. Sodom and Gomorah were destroyed partly because of this. In fact this unnatural man and man relationship got its name from there- Sodomy.
If you have any belief in Bible at all, the Bible comes against it strongly. If you say there should be freedom of association as a fundamental human right then we could arrgue that a father having a carnal knowledge of his daughter or a mother her son or even a brother to hid sister(Incest) should not be frowned. If incest sounds repulsive to you then so should sodomy.
Well said. No matter how many people try to call black white and wrong right, still wouldn't make it right.

What a silly advice. Why exactly should he stay home when his wife is being celebrated? Very contradictory, you say it takes a very strong heart to stand there whilst your wife outshines you yet still said the man should stay home, even though from your logic he has a strong heart for standing there. Why should he be ashamed of what is happening? Are you implying he is a bytch for supporting his wife? Is it only ok to stay there when it is a woman supporting her husband? Smh. You support women growing and their empowerment yet insult it at the same time.
Infact, a really senseless comment. Thanks for calling her out.

Why?! The current political structure guarantees it!

How do the masses influence who political parties select to run for public office? At the primaries?!!

Neither Jonathan or Buhari were viable candidates in 2015, unfortunately we will continue having more 'Jonathans' and 'Buharis' running Nigeria.

Kakistocracy?!! Most definitely

There's only so much abuse a Nation can take leadership wise.....
So true.
This right up here is the challenge with Nigeria moving forward, due to the terrible quality of leaders at various levels.
