A Nigerian official, Rachel Kufre Nse, has expressed joy that US President Donald Trump did not invite President Bola Tinubu to the White House like other African presidents invited by Mr Trump.

Ms Nse, a member of Nigeria’s North Central Development Commission, was reacting to Mr Trump’s “humiliating remarks” about Liberian President Joseph Boakai.

A strong supporter of the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, Ms Nse is from Akwa Ibom State.

Visit to the White House

On Wednesday, Mr Trump hosted presidents from five African countries at the White House.

Mr Trump invited the presidents of Senegal, Gabon, Guinea-Bissau, and Mauritania, as well as Mr Boakai of Liberia.

During the visit, the US president commented on Mr Boakai’s grasp of the English language.

“Such good English, it’s beautiful. Where did you learn to speak so beautifully?” Mr Trump asked Mr Boakai.

“Were you educated? Where? In Liberia?”

“Yes, Sir,” the Liberian president responded.

“That’s very interesting. Beautiful English too. I have people at this table who can’t speak nearly as well,” Mr Trump said.

Meanwhile, Liberia, out of the five, is the only country where English is the official language.

CNN reported that several Liberians voiced their offence over Mr Trump’s comments, given the US president’s past remarks on African countries.

“I felt insulted because our country is an English-speaking country,” Archie Harris, a Liberian youth advocate, told the TV station.

‘Thank God Trump didn’t invite Tinubu’

Reacting via a Facebook post on Thursday, Ms Nse appeared to celebrate that Mr Trump did not extend the invitation to Mr Tinubu, Nigeria’s president.

“Where are those who were clapping that DT (Donald Trump) intentionally ignored PBAT (President Bola Ahmed Tinubu) by not extending the invite to him?” the official, who uploaded a video clip of the White House incident, wrote on Facebook.

“Thank God he (Tinubu) wasn’t among them (the five presidents) to witness first-hand the ‘derogatory’ question and answer session. That bullet was worth dodging,” she added, implying that Mr Tinubu might have faced a similar experience if he had been invited.

Invite watin? You want Tpain to infect Trump with his Failure disease

Always looking for excuses. I don't know but something is amiss here

Matter of fact, this was the first thing that came to my mind when I watched the cringe worthy video.

His condescension was over the roof, speaking to his peers like he was addressing some kids asking for cookies. As if his remarks to the Liberian president wasn't bad enough, his gesture at the other president who spoke in French, signalling him to hurry up with what he was saying, was disgustingly disrespectful.

Thank God my president wasn't available to endure such gruesome humiliation. I can't imagine the kind of party the enemies of Nigeria, AKA Obidients and ipob, would have thrown celebrating the incident.

There are over 50 countries in Africa, only 5 presidents went, so rest.

Trump is Tpain.

Americans are really feeling the pain.

Ask the Cubans that were boating for Donad Tlump.

Imagine the combination of Tinubu, Cameroon president and Ugandan president in that meeting. One could easily conclude that it was a meeting for residents of an old people's home and Trump would have finished them with his bad mouth.

Trump is a convicted criminal on 34 felonies, and is no position to “finish with his bad mouth”, if you are a person of dignity who knows your worth.

Rest assured that the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria knows His worth, and that of the country he represents, and will Never agree to sit down in public with a demented creature like Trump.

You're only saying this because you MUST vote Obi.

Though Trump is a cringy psychopath, the non-invitation of Nigeria as a supposed power house in the African continent is not a good diplomatic relations for us. Nations use forum like this to secure strong deals.

It's seems you are an APC Zombie happy slave. Una no dey like truth at all.
I said let's forget about politics, forget about Obi,or Atiku or whatever. Make We talk about Tinubu na

How can a supposedly 1st class graduate be 7x worse than bubu wey dey parade NEPA bill as certificate

I sabi your type.
I know you don't follow international news.

Let me make it clear.

US is enduring less visitors from around the world this year.

US is on track to lose $12.5 Billion dollars on tourism alone this year.

US is on track to lose $14.2 Billion dollars from Agriculture this year alone.

Make you dey there make pant dey wear you.

Trump wouldn't have talked to president Tinubu like that. He can never. Respect is a reciprocal

Tochi360:
Oboy true true You be Zombie happy slave

At this juncture nothing concern me with Obi,even if na Abacha from the grave,e better pass this demonic Weapon mass economic destruction called Tpain

Your ZOMBISM can't change the Reality that even if you give Tpain 600yrs he will still fail Woefully

See tbe kind people wey you dey quote sef.

Na wa oh.

Zelensky, Ramaphosa, Bokoai.. Trump has no respect for his peers.


-Kiss the truth!

Trump called the continent a Shithole.
Do you think he has any respect for Africa?

If Trump catch Tinubu
That will be the end of Tinubu political career
Trump go wash am down like Ogogoro😁

Trump knows more about him. So, he does not want to have anything doing with him

Liberia was where America dumped blacks whose fathers were slaves in America. Infact the Liberian Flag is American. Liberia deserves all the support it can get from America.

Trump knows more about him. So, he does not want to have anything doing with him.
Corruption and lack of fairness, justice does not prevail thru him

I Heard trump has insulted Mauritian president too

ADC would have mocked His Excellency, President Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu (GCFR)

What an embarrassment! Asking Liberian President where he learnt English from.

Insult!

Even if you were tripping, should it be infront of the press? The orange turd always trying to score cheap wins. Same he did with Zelensky.

Same Trump that they wrote exams for. Smh…

Tinubu is not the kind of president that survives on Trumps remarks..

Nigeria is a great country and it will be an insult to Nigeria not to stand alone in relation with USA engagement but be lumped together with dogs and goats .


That being said , Africans need to sit back home , look inwards and develop locally . Personally I hate beggars or people that can't offer me anything in return but always want to take from me .

between ATIKU, OBI and PBAT who speak English language better?

Please don't make racist and tribalistic comments on this section

Obidients just like to fool themselves.

Y'all been spilling dogshit for 2 years now.

When una go start to dey reason normal?

Generally speaking Americans are very ignorant people.

How can you be surprised that the president of a country which was a former colony of your country has a good grasp of the English language?

To the average American the world starts and ends in the United States of America that is why they are so clueless about what happens in other countries.

This reminds me of the time Rick Ross referred to the African continent as a country when he was coming here for a concert
