People who support Trump''s statement are retarded. African immigrants are performing better than most immigrant groups in the U.S.A, and if this is the case why does he want to shut them out in preference for immigrants from Norway who are not even interested in migrating to the U.S?
The Italians came in droves, both honest and criminals, no one called Italy a shit hole nation.
The Irish also came in droves, they were not regarded as shit hole people.
Africans who are not offended are not different from their progenitors who sold their fellow Africans for mirrors and trinkets.

Always killing themselves over property, that is how they love themselves.,Awon skull mining accommodators

Awon Okija princess. Bone collectors par excellence.
Families of some dead rich people wouldn't dare go near his properties for fear deadly repercussions from the spirits.

One major difference; OPC did not target specific ethnic groups.They confronted the authorities and anyone who is against the interest of the Yoruba race.
IPOB and Kanu preached hate and urged his followers to attack Yoruba and Hausa/Fulani.Nnamdi Kanu failed even before he started.

The "Lee Kuan Yew" Nigeria never had. Western Nigeria got a TV station about the same time as some European countries.
We haven't seen that type of tranformational leadership ever since. God rest his soul.

Any dunderhead with a smartphone is now a political analyst. Where's Osinbajo! Where's is the national assembly? The body with real powers and authority to make laws for Nigeria?
Some people just type whatever nonsense that comes to their minds.

MIKOLOWISKA:
why is the truth reprehensible. You prefer lies. No wonder the nation is fuckdd

The truth according to Donald Trump? Trump and truth should not be mentioned in the same sentence.

Just Say It: Trump Is a Racist

Brenner/The New York Times

By David Leonhardt

Jan. 12, 2018


When it comes to President Trump and race, there is a predictable cycle. He makes a remark that seems racist, and people engage in an extended debate about whether he is personally racist. His critics say he is. His defenders argue for an interpretation in which race plays a secondary role (such as: Haiti really is a worse place to live than Norway).

It’s time to end this cycle.

No one except Trump can know what Trump’s private thoughts or motivations are. But the public record and his behavior are now abundantly clear. Donald Trump treats black people and Latinos differently than he treats white people.

And that makes him a racist.

Is it possible to defend some of his racially charged statements by pointing out that something other than race might explain them? Sure. Is it possible that he doesn’t think of himself as a racist who views white people as superior to nonwhite people? Yes.


But the definition of a racist — the textbook definition, as Paul Ryan might say — is someone who treats some people better than others because of their race. Trump fits that definition many times over:

• Trump’s real-estate company was sued twice by the federal government in the 1970s for discouraging the renting of apartments to African-Americans and preferring white tenants, such as “Jews and executives.”

• In 1989, Trump took out ads in New York newspapers urging the death penalty for five black and Latino teenagers accused of raping a white woman in Central Park; he continued to argue that they were guilty as late as October 2016, more than 10 years after DNA evidence had exonerated them.

• He spent years claiming that the nation’s first black president was born not in the United States but in Africa, an outright lie that Trump still has not acknowledged as such.

• He began his 2016 presidential campaign by disparaging Mexican immigrants as criminals and “rapists.”


• He has retweeted white nationalists without apology.

• He frequently criticizes prominent African-Americans for being unpatriotic, ungrateful and disrespectful.

• He called some of those who marched alongside white supremacists in Charlottesville last August “very fine people.”

• He is quick to highlight crimes committed by dark-skinned people, sometimes exaggerating or lying about it (such as a claim about growing crime from “radical Islamic terror” in Britain). He is very slow to decry hate crimes committed against dark-skinned people (such as the murder of an Indian man in Kansas last year).

• At the White House yesterday, Trump vulgarly called for less immigration from Haiti and Africa and more from Norway


If you think this list is incomplete, email me at Leonhardt@nytimes.com.

Mudley313:
Are these people defending Trump on here actually Nigerians/blacks

The context of his statement matters. Let me try and break it down for you:

Example A

Me: Nigeria is a sh*thole country. Too much greed, corruption, 419, ritual killings, boko haram etc.

Example B:

Job Recruitment Officer: Why do we hire people from sh*thole countries such as from Africa, India, Haiti etc. I would rather hire Merit based such as people from Norway

Example A is what you're arguing; Example B is what the sh8thead Trump is advocating for when you replace employment with immigration

No matter the context the president of United States using such a language to describe some other country is reprehensible.
Trump is the sh.it head president, a mistake the U.S will someday have to admit.

Filthy.

AFONJAPIG:
He is right, Africa especially Nigeria is a shithole as for Haiti I don't know about them... meanwhile uncle Trump give me Biafra and you will never see my foot again in America

I'm sure you are one of the people who held banners to celebrate his election in the SE. Trump can do no wrong even though he doesn't give a damn about people like you.

NafeesaAA:
You think those Amala hunters in Ekiti are any match to Fulani herdsmen? Fulani herdsmen haven't set sight on them yet, in fact, all of SW isn't in their preferred area of grazing.

You should know their preferred area of grazing being the national secretary of Miyetti Allah.

His name will now be Forigbakumo.

Lipscomb:
babe how are you doing?I want to insult you before but thanks God I never do. I checked your profile now and your PIC catch my eye will you be my lover? email me :' but note I'm proudly Yoruba guy (

Perhaps she will be feeding you with oha soup soon.

loveth361:
we igbos can never have anything to do with the west.

Not true, the oha soup diplomacy is alive and kicking. Soon, you too will be feeding some Yoruba boy with oha soup.

Mr. Gender bender Nollywood.

More oha soup to his big mouth.

enigma2007:
Without Tinubu, the gains in Lagos would not have been coordinated. Lagos successes is as a result of each governors building on the achievements of their predecessors..

God bless you.

kaorama:
After eating Uha soup?

Lol, I thought the woman put some oha soup in his mouth for Sahara reporters.

porka:
This is what Buhari meant when he asked others to 'internalize' Yoruba culture. Many didn't realize it was the most patronising statement.

How dumb can some of you be? If the subject matter is Lagos people like you will be hyperventilating on one Nigeria and why every resident should be regarded as an indigen.
There's a serious problem with the Nigerian federation, people who pretend there's no problem with the structure are merely fooling themselves.

BankeSmalls:
When important travellers coming in with $ £ € ¥ we allow them to land in Lagos to spend the money in our economy.

When refugees are forcefully returned penniless from Libya, we send them to Port Harcourt to multiply their poverty

This is the yoruba diplomacy.

We are Yorubas and we know how push them around , we love our south south brothers too much so we spread bad market to them

Paranoia.. ...when you start to see imaginary Yoruba people chasing you to bring you down.

Oba Yusuf who said the committee members are to meet fortnightly, urged the herdsmen to always report to the committee whenever farmers offend them rather than resort to violence.

Funny. I guess the herdsmen are offended when the farmers move their farms to the cattle and then refuse the cattle to feed on it.
This report is probably false.

Atiku2019:
Oga Reno GEJ tenure had the Highest death mortality rate in Nigeria since 1999... Even a Plateau Senator lost his life to this menace..

But doesn't mean we ain't sending Buhari back to Daura in 2019

Atiku 2019

Reno is a hypocrite. While we must all be disgusted by the senseless killings, we should also not forget that Reno's boss also lost the presidency partly because of his failure to do anything about these killings.

Ipork lame analysis.

Odikwa serious. So, baba Aragon is this abusive towards his wife.

Sealeddeal:
That first pics is not of Innoson.

3rd and 4th not innoson.

Sowore should please do more "investigative reports" on him.
Lol

FFK is so witless. Lmao, I guess this is how Buhari feels when he is making up stories about him.

"Huge numbers of containers enter Nigeria’s ports in the Lagos metropolis laden with imported goods and leave mostly empty due to dearth of export goods from the Southwest"

Nigeria's second largest export is cocoa which is slightly larger than the total value of number 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 combined.
Perhaps the containers will not be returned empty if your region have something to export as well.

ImadeUReadThis:
It happened in the Middle East, Egypt and Turkey where once proud Christian populations dumped their religion and heritage and embraced Islam and from there made Arabs their rulers.

Yorubas should take note of the Yoruba Muslim problem.

It has taken a spike over the past decade with prominent Yoruba Muslims like the current Minister of Communications and Ishaq Akintola leading a radical movement on campuses through the Muslim Student Society.

There is a very clear and apparent danger in future that the Yoruba Muslim will pick up his sword to fight his fellow Yoruba non-Muslim for Sokoto.

There is a reason why almost all Yoruba Kings are Muslim.

Its just a matter of time.

Yoruba does not have a Muslim problem. What we have is a bunch of unintelligent rabble rousers trying to create a problem where there's none.
You lie by saying most Yoruba kings are Muslims but the point is; have you ever had a situation in Yorubaland where anyone king or not says you cannot practice your own religion?
We love the religious tolerance we have in Yorubaland and we will defend that with everything at our disposal.
People who think they might cause bloodshed in Yorubaland in order to achieve their secessionist agenda or for whatever motive will fail.

reality1010:
I don't know why yorubas r satisfied with these killings perpetrated by d fulanis. They feel comfortable with d failure of this govt which has unleashed poverty on Nigerians.The igbos r complaining. The Hausa's r complaining
The ijaws,itshekiri as well as every meaningful Nigerian r complaining instead d yorubas r praising d govt.God will help them to be truthful.

This thread will have no traction unless you somehow try to link it with Yoruba no matter how vacuous you appear to be.
Thousands were murdered under Jonathan, were ibos singled out despite being recognized by Jonathan himself as the pillars of his failed administration?

Nnamdi was completely in love with the paraphernalia of power.
He started dressing more and more like a weirdo.
Funny dude, my guess is that he is chilling right now somewhere far away from ipob and living large on all the money donated by his gullible followers.
