That is simply because the Americans have made their system so open that even those who h 8 t e them can have the right to aspire for any position.

Maybe the Americans should ask if an American can compete in an election in Afghanistan.

helinues:
Oya, even Americans are not taking Trump seriously, why should we Nigerians be bothered about his online noise

He should now cut the funds of the city, let's see if he won't be dragged to court

gare:
This still wouldn’t deter Trump from coming to help Nigeria tackle terrorism and banditry. I honestly don’t understand us Nigerians do we want the chaos happening in the northern part of the country to continue unchecked? We’ve shown, time and again, that we lack the capacity to deal with the situation effectively. So what’s all the noise about? Trump isn’t invading Nigeria; he’s stepping in to help fix the mess our political class created in the North.

okuta007:
you do not know how American politics work -- even IF Jesus Christ comes down from heaven as a Republican, he will find it hard to win election in New York --- because almost 60% of the voters collect some form of welfare checks or package from the democrat party in city and state government (food stamp, SNAP Cash /EBT - rental assistance etc. so how can anyone vote against their own plate of food?

MT:
Oh Nigerians! That’s not a help Trump offered you. That’s an insult to your country and you as citizens. He disparaged you as a person.

If he wanted to genuinely help you, he would talk to the President using any of the existing diplomatic channels. No sane President plans or declares a war on social media.

Trump doesn’t care about you as Christians or Muslims. He cares about He won’t risk the life of Americans on your soil . He’s only grandstanding. Do you know how much those bombs cost. Tomahawk costs 1.3 million USD to 2.5million USD dollars per one. The military assets are freaking expensive, Americans are not willing to fund such recklessness.

Americans are hungry, they lack appetite for any war or misuse of their taxpayers money. Americans need help and that’s why they rejected Trumps policies loudly at the ballot box.

Think, Nigerians. Reason.

A society in which the top 10% hold 65% of the wealth of the nation cannot be right.

Contrast with Norway and understand how wealth distribution is essential for standard of living and tranquility of a nation.

I swear Hollywood damaged a lot of Nigerians.

Pootle:
mad how someone who has lived in US for such a few years can win,

his an imposter and an agent to destabilize US

The more they hate Muslims the more the Western world accepts them.

I just watched Mamdani’s victory speech and I was so impressed. He did not just beat Donald Trump’s candidate, he gave Trump a middle finger and called him out for his irresponsible leadership.

Young, bold, articulate and intelligent. He reminds me of the Obama of 2008. Democrats shouid rally round this guy to deal a serious political blow to Donald Trump and his MAGA white supremacist.

ALTERNATEID:
Zohran Mamdani, 34, has won the New York City mayoral election and will become the first Muslim mayor of the biggest city in the US

The self-described democratic socialist was relatively unknown just months ago, and surged to victory with promises to tax millionaires to pay for expanded social programmes

"In this moment of political darkness, New York will be the light," Mamdani says in a victory speech where he outlines his policies and challenges President Trump

Trump has threatened to cut NYC's federal funding if Mamdani won over independent Andrew Cuomo and Republican Curtis Sliwa

Meanwhile, Democrats are projected to win governor races in Virginia and New Jersey
Also today, Californians voted to redraw the state's congressional districts to favour the Democratic Party ahead of elections next year

Trump was not on the ballot on Tuesday, but he cast a shadow over all these contests, writes North America correspondent Anthony Zurcher

Then you don't understand exactly how to build an economy. How did 10% hold the weight? You're mentioning Norway but won't mention Cuba or Venezuela because it suits you.

Any economy that sees productive people as the enemy collapses. That's why capitalist economies are always better and more sustainable. In the case of Norway, that majorly because of little population and large gas reserves.

For example, we produce just a little more oil and gas than Qatar but we have like 20x their population. How do you expect us to have same social services like them?

A responsible government but support it's entrepreneurs. What do you think makes economy of California bigger than Africa combined or New York what it is today?

Govt is not father Xmas. Govt basically is just to make your life easier not to control you by making you dependent on it to live your decent life.

If you believe Trump is suddenly interested in Nigeria because he wants to come and save Christians, then you’re way slower than I thought. Trump is simply coming to implement a regime change agenda.

They want a puppet president who will withdraw Nigeria from BRICS, give them a place to host their Military base in the Sahel, handover all our lithium and cobalt deposit to Elon Musk and friends, take in criminals from US prison, slowdown the energy independence we are pursuing and chase China out of Nigeria.

If they truly want to help in combating insecurity, they will offer the needed assistance to our government and not threaten military invasion.

agurza:
Trump coming to Nigeria to fight Islam, now Islam has found Trump in the US and defeats him. Isn't the almighty God wonderful?

callthefred:
Majority of comments here certainly confirms my belief that many Nigerians are just educated illiterates. Mamdani is a socialist like the Buhari and Tinubu and co who always use Almajiri orientation of collecting from the rich to give the poor. Always blaming the rich for the problems of the poor and when you give people free money like the APC you kill their sense of productivity. Why should I even bother to work when I can get free money from govt?

Also, the poor are used to making terrible life choices like having more kids and always dying in prayers houses for miracle to see billions in their bank accounts without working for it, thinking they can mock God when bible clearly says; no food for a lazy man and work and pray.

To even imagine some praising Obama, the bastard who messed up Africa with his war on Gadafi and allowed the madness called LGBTQ+ to become a thing? May we never have Obama and APC again in the world.

Flangelo12:
The best time in the history of the US was when the top tax rate for the uber rich was 90%.

Go figure.

Trump is a dictator but Nigerian leaders are very useless. Back to the topic, An average Whites are not like Africans they do what's right regardless of tribe or religion.

callthefred:
No

Except nobody ever paid that..conduct your research well. Even till date, how many billionaires in America do you think pay personal income tax? That's for the stupid. Everyone ties their income to their shares and companies. It's the smart and reasonable thing to do.

Give me a socialist country that has survived for 100 years??

If this happened in my country, INEC TINUBU would announce Cuomo the winner, and Zohran would be asked to go challenge it in court.
