Always looking for excuses. I don't know but something is amiss here
This is not about excuse

The people Trump invited, he obviously has no regard for them.. he sees them as inferior

Would you rather be invited to a place where you would be ridiculed??

Tinubu would have had no problem communicating in English Because he schooled in Chicago while obi would have been disgraced because he went to village school at Nsuka

Trump has no respect for anyone.

He believes he can treat anyone anyhow and nothing would happen.

What do we do here...?
When given a taste of our medicine. We start to mumble.
Trump is America, older than all of them and is the most powerful, so he can do as he wishes.
Seeing Africa that his country has helped now well off to China and Russia, and at one call they come running....?!
If we are ready, he will respect us
He is who he is...we be who we are.

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.
See your life, you cannot even drop a simple comment without mentioning Obedients, later you will call yourself a graduate...how does the post related to Obedients? If a group of people comprising all tribes and religion in Nigeria known as the Obedients movement that want a better country for us all are enemies of Nigeria then you deserve the shege banza all you zombies are seeing in the current economic collapse...Tinubu himself knows the country is sinking but zombies cannot think for themselves.

He doesn't respect anyone.

He doesn't respect Canada.

Abi those ones too no try for themselves?

He was telling Brazil off for daring to prosecute Bolsonaro, the former president who happens to be Trump's lapdog.

He has imposed high tarrifs on Brazil, who by the way, have been at trade deficit with US.

Abeg, let the orange plonker getat.

They were not his peers brother. There are level to this things.
Even kings, just kings in Yoruba land here cannot say they are peers because they are all kings.

And I don't know why people are seeing what Trump said as humiliating or condescending.
He gave a remark of praise for some and mentioned that he schooled in his own country that should make Liberians proud that a native speaker appreciate and commend their English.

We all know Africans have accents of their tongue reflect when then speak English. If it is Ugandan man that speak , even Ghana or our Hausa brother here. Their English always reflect the accent of their mother tongue.

It's the truth.

What Trump did was give praise.

He did not even ask him "were you educated" as falsely written above. He asked, "Where were you educated? Where?

Nigeria is trying too hard to strong-arm itself in a discourse to which it was never invited. It's akin to a preemptive rejection, where the loser fancies himself too cool for school, whereas the reality is that he was never considered. Were it not already pathetic, I would find it laughable.

Trust JAGABAN nah, JAGABAN would have given him appropriate response as if he (JAGABAN) is talking to PDADC.

You guys don't know the number of presidents on Africa continent. Only 5! were invited and those ones are far from capable of representing the entire Africa in any matter that is of a serious concern to Africa. If Trump really have something serious to do with Africa, like it or not Nigeria would be amongst his invitee

You are the one that is inferior and you will remain inferior because of your state of mind and because you refused to uplift yourself. I live and work internationaly, most of my colleagues are not black and they respect me. You can continue to carry your toga or being inferior that is on you.

It was in Nigeria's interest not to have been invited to that cringeworthy shindig. You know it, I know it, the possessed dog in Mile 12 knows it too.

Trump's doctrine, which is about making America great again by any means necessary, relies on the fealty and humiliation of both friend and foe; so it is best only to engage him from a safe distance.

Devil and long spoon comes to mind here, if you catch my drift.

Why these five countries?
Trump's approach to Africa appears to have evolved since his first term. During a White House meeting on January 10, 2018, he famously referred to Haiti and several African countries as "shithole countries."

"We recall those harsh words, but things have changed," says Prof. Suleymane Bachir Diagne of Senegal, who teaches and researches at Columbia University in New York City. "Africa is now on the radar of the Trump administration. The continent is recognized as a place to make deals."

But if Trump's agenda truly centers on deals and ‘America First,' why invite the presidents of these five relatively small economies? "It's surprising," Diagne says. "One might expect the usual suspects — large economies like South Africa or Nigeria. Instead, we have these five countries, which few anticipated."

What role do natural resources play?
In terms of trade volume with the US, the five countries are relatively minor players.

However, all possess significant untapped natural resources:

- Gabon is rich in oil, manganese, uranium, iron ore, gold, and rare earth elements.

- Guinea-Bissau holds deposits of phosphates, bauxite, oil, gas, and gold.

- Liberia has notable manganese and gold reserves, and diamonds have been found near its border with Sierra Leone.

- Mauritania is endowed with iron ore, gold, copper, oil, natural gas, and rare earth elements.

- Senegal boasts gold, phosphates, iron ore, and rare earth minerals, in addition to oil and gas fields.
