Nigerians should leave Americans alone to govern themselves the way they like. You'll leave your country in tatters and go and be blowing grammar in another man's country. Is it not because they took good care of their own that you found it desirable to go and live in?

jayAjoku:
she should be quiet abeg . feminism is a lost cause, just a bunch of insecure women voicing hatred against men . Trump wants to run the country like a business. lets see his efforts in boosting the U.S economy

My problem with feminists is that when they contest in something and lose to men, they automatically conclude that they lost because they're women.

I was talking with one the other day and she said that a woman cannot become president in Nigeria because Nigeria men hate women and I asked.

"Are Igbos women? Why is it difficult for them to become president in Nigeria?"

It's simple, they don't plan well.

Clinton lost because Trump did something better.

Adichie should stop wailing and return home if she isn't comfortable with Trump being American president.

You're there blowing grammar when the old man you stupid folks foisted on us has rendered the economy useless.

Poor man can no longer afford garri and sugar.

Many people won't travel home this xmass because they're broke but the only thing disturbing you is American's choice of president.

How is it your business?

Clinton Lost, Trump won, deal with it or die crying.

I'm sorry, but I don't agree with Chimamanda. Everything she wrote there can be summarized as saying the right wing is completely full of White Sipremacists. Which is absolutely wrong.
OK, why did Donald Trump choose Dr. Ben Carson as Secretary (Minister) of Housing and Urban Development? There's even a Nigerian in his economic team. The Republican party is diverse. Surely not as diverse as the Democratic Party, but it has its own fair share of diversity.
Not all right wingers are part of the alt-right. Although Donald Trump can be said to be the champion of 'alt-right' ideologies including populism and nationalism, what you have to understand is that the majority of people who supported Trump did so grudgingly- to vote against Hilary Clinton.
Clinton's dirty laundry has been continuously exposed in the media up until this election, with Obama even 'finishing' her in the debates. Talking about how she was getting fatter on Walmart Capitalist money while he was being a community volunteer. They've said so many things about her that have effectively shown how she was unfit, and the nail in the coffin was the email scandal. And after all that, the Democrats decided that SHE was the person fit to run against a man who was running on the waves of populism, a very attractive ideology to people who were fed up with Obama's government.
Charisma on Command explained it very simply. She didn't have the 'energy' and was never convincing enough. Trump came along with the idea of being an outsider. She immediately tried to switch, by calling herself an 'outsider' (which every idiot knows is not true) because she was a woman. Obama, on the other hand, while campaigning for her, turned the question around, saying 'You want experienced doctors to treat you, experienced engineers to build your houses. Why then do you want an 'outsider' to lead you?'
Clinton just wasn't fit. Period. Another candidate would've been better. Only a very small percentage of Trump supporters believe everything he says. The rest just have so much disdain for Clinton.
Trump's appointees aren't too discouraging either. He's appointing good brains in his cabinet. Some people claim that he's just appointing 'rich' people, but those are the people he knows how to work with. And because of his arrogant nature, he's so scared of failure that HE'S ACTUALLY TAKING ADVICE. You can see that reflected in his appointment of 'Mad Dog Mattis' as Secretary of Defence. Frankly, Obama's Secretaries of Defence didn't know what they were doing. He appointed 4 different ones over his two terms. This man, General Mattis, however, is very popular with the army. The soldiers have confidence in the government now, because they described Mattis as 'A man who knows what wars to avoid, but isn't afraid to fight back'.

All these are just speculation anyway. Let's see what happens in the end.

**As others have rightly said too, why hasn't she been writing long articles about Nigeria? Why hasn't she been actively using her influence to change the mindset of Nigerian Youths?

But u can't still change the fact that sexism is real. And there are lots of gender biased folks out there and it can play a major role in determining whether a woman wins a post of power and influence or not. In American presidential election, i would greatly disagree with ur opinion on the presumption that trump planned better than hilary. Alot of white male folks and veterans in d US are seriously gender biased and they wanted to get back at the democrats for producing a black president in obama. Does that mean hilary would have gained more support if she was a man? I absolutely believe so. Would the lady u asked a question have entered if she was a man? I seem to think so or at least her chances would be much higher if she were. We live in a world were alot of men are gender biased and feel a woman's place is in d kitchen. Look at what ur president said about his first lady a few months back. The only few places were women have assumed positions of power successfully was based on massive turn out of women to rally round her. But in america the women were divided just because trump decided to play d racist card into their minds. So racism was top priority for the women that voted for trump ahead of feminism in support of their fellow woman.

Lol. I doubt you even know the meaning of those 'big' words you just used. 'Demential' noni.

This post answers ur delusional, demential and myopic statement

Maybe Americans are not so smart as we thought
Maybe they've just been waiting for someone to champion their shallowness
Let's see how things unfold
Let's hope they've not elected their own version of Buhari
Someone being propelled by hatred

gesundheit:


Your stupidity is breath taking, with appointment of bigots like Steve bannon, James session and Peter Flynn who are known bigots. With the senseless Twitter feeds from the waste of space. Drumpf have missed 17 of 20 intelligence briefings but keep tabs on SNL. Americans just made An ignorant simmpleton as POTUS.

While the brightest Nigerians i.e chimanda, soyinka et al can see through the right issues, the brain dead internet Lord need life long education to even get a grasp of the happening.

Not when your own country will lock you up if you speak up like she did. Any journalist who dare criticise Buhari and his govt like this will be answering questions in SSS detention in the morning. Moreover, the market there favor her.

nwamehn:


I wonder o. Nigeria is in a mess and a Nigerian spends all her time worrying about the future of America?
She even confirmed that white women didn't largely vote for Clinton yet she claims the election was characterised with sexism.
She also loves Clinton much more than Clinton's fellow white women that didn't vote for her in numbers?
