Bit by bit, this man is wrecking America and nobody wants to get the Congress to stop him. By the time he has spent 4 years in office, all attention will move to China because those guys will define the future.

I love this .

Let all those who support irresponsible government in Nigeria because of tribalism only to run back to America can now stay back in Nigeria and enjoy the useless president or government that they supported.

No more America .
It's a hard thing to get deliverance when someone is suffering from generational and ethnical stupidity so I'm sorry because it's obvious you will die like this. Trump announced a policy targeted at everyone coming to the US under that category to pay $100,000 and the policy will affect the South Americans and South Asians the most, especially skilled health care, engineering and IT workers from India but there you are talking about Nigeria. Has Trump ever done anything specifically targeting Nigerians no. It's Trump against the world and we should be the ones saying we are glad because your people supported his election hoping he will come and release the director now dying in DSS jail and declare Biafla.

1.In other words, because they did not vote for your man, they are all tribalists.

2.Let's be honest, all the candidates were the same

3.Biafta is not going to change anything

4.A good candidate would be one who fights corruption, cuts or removes all subsides, especially those on power, cuts the number of civil servants in the government, cuts excess spending by government ministers, senators, house of reps, and also, ramps up agric production, and takes control of all mining in the country...and then provides a roadmap for industrialization

But you and your tinubuite pals won't vote for such a leader. You want freebies.

Anyway, enjoy tinubu,the yourba obi, and the yoruba atiku and in 2027 , enjoy peter obi, the igbo tinubu, and the igbo atiku. You guys don't want hard changes, ye want your side to win. Just like the tinubu supporters, who come here and pretend all is well.

Trump is a fool
Countries do what they have to do to sustain their interests.

One of the carribean islands is a nidus for offshore accounts. Many rich and powerful from around the world dump their money there. Yes, corruption, yes eevul...but that's how the island earns money for its people. They got no natural resources.

The comment you quoted has nothing to do with Nigeria. I'm writing about global attention. The founders of all big US companies investing in China don't speak English, yet they have businesses worth billions of dollars in China.

By the time Donald Trump is done dealing with America, every reasonable investor in America will pull their businesses out of the country.

It has already started happening, but the guy is too blind to see it. A country that used to create over 300k jobs every month is now creating 22k jobs. Donald Trump is America's nemesis.
I guess you have more Intel than the American president and his aides? Do you think people set up businesses in the USA because of love for the Americans? It's because of certain access that they have over there...Even China wouldn't want to lose the American market. Go and ask the Iranians what it means to suffer the American embargo.

Try not to waste your time replying ignorant people; they are many on this forum.

They always believe everything is about Nigeria and Tinubu. Ask them how many Nigerians apply for the H1-B visa now, they don't even know. Countries like India, Philippines, and other American (continent) countries are the most affected but they always find a way to make it about Nigeria.
The US H1-B visa is even employer's sponsorship, applicant does'nt have to pay a dime.

How is protecting jobs for Americans is the same as wrecking America?
China has no capital and is already collapsing with the banking system failed. Despite all the US challenges, China will NEVER attain the US level in 100 lifetimes. China is already well on the way back to pre-1990. The only future China has is to be a big bully to all the poor countries that took money from them. America will still be the future, bigger and better.

Trump made the right choice, no other country will allow such scam.

The so called skilled workers bring certificates of schools that don’t exist, and most of them take sales jobs, are sales persons difficult to find in America?

They can still bring skilled workers in but there has to be a level playing field for Americans to compete.
These are the pays in southeast US.
CIO - $225k
CISO - $200k
Architect - $180k
Security engineer - $150k

If employers pay 100K to the govt and pay between $40k - $100k to the skilled workers, they will still save between $10k - $25k. How is this not enough if they’re not greedy? The choice is theirs.

It is ridiculous how you analyse data
Trump want American graduate to be trained rather than engaging expatriate.
Simply put more jobs for American youth.
It a policy Nigerians too can copy
Jobs like tilers, welding,, HR in organisation and many more should be exclusive for Nigerians and skilled worker especially in area we have youth who can do the job shouldbe trained.

The average salary on H1B is $138,000. 65% of people on the H1B are in the computer industry. Most people that transition to H1B are students.
Its going to cause a massive drop in F1 Visa applications especially for those who saw education as a route to migrate into the US. There are over 1m international students in the US.

Some people are cautious with their SM post and public talk because it might be use against them when applying for US visa but now that no hope, it will begin with people being truthful without minding US whatever.

I don't understand. How do people travelling to America for work make the world a better place? If your skills were so wonderful, you should use it for your own country, that's the coco
Exactly. Stay in your country and grow it to becoming powerful and prosperous. Then you will become useful to yourself and useful to America.

I think Trump wants a more prosperous and diverse world. A world where a Ukraine is able to defend itself, where Europe is able to chart its own course without depending on US might. Where a Nigeria is able to care for its people's health, education and prosperity.

Because when you are prosperous you are ble to trade properly with the US and prosper the U S even more.

I think folks in the US are beginning to see the limitations of a unipolar world where it has led for so long, sucked so much virtue from other nations that the world has become unfertile to its ideals, it has started to rot from within.

It is the same destructive principle of monopolies in economies. One becomes too big at the expense of others, feeding off them. When the others die off the monopolist starves itself to death.

Why are you asking me a question that you can easily find on Google? Do you think you can build an economy worth $19 trillion without having multibillion-dollar companies?

Anyways, for the companies you know - Alibaba and Xiaomi are two popular multibillion-dollar Chinese companies. There are over 100 others.

Not all policies favours all in the short run.
Trust me, this policy if sustained will grow domestic experts.

Companies will start training young Americans to become global assets.

More jobs to fresh graduates, skill works and even favourable take home.

To us as Nigerians, for sure it may have negative effect on us now but the multiplier effect on this policy will impact on us positively.

I do not think he is wrecking anything. Truth is that he is focusing attention as promised on Americans .and that's why he was voted in. Forget media propaganda. The voters wanted such ideas to be carried out.

My only issue with such stance is after taking such a decision for their own good , they still go ahead to fiddle in the politics or elections of other countries. This indirectly putting pressure on immigration concerns he is crying about .

Let them stop influencing elections in Africa for example, or better , let them help ensure elections are conducted fairly in Africa, and see how the urge to travel out of Africa becomes lame.
