Just listen to yourself, America should pay more because if they don't Russia and China would take over....lol. What I believe is that those countries in Nato are not paying their fair share because they see that America is handling it. All I'm saying here is that America should focus more domestic issues and reduce its foreign investments. America should not be policing the world, it should be an equal effort by all the Super nations.

I think you read the point where I said trump asking the other NATO members to pay more is a legitimate concern.

I think you read that.

America cannot reduce foreign investments

China is not reducing

Russia is not reducing

so why should America reduce

Why is China every where on earth spending billions on deals, investment and alliances IF foreign investment and global diplomacy does not matter?

China has been itching to increase their special drawing rights but the powers that be has clipped it
you think these powers don't know what they are doing?

the one who gives the most aid, have the most allies and the most investments becomes the captain of the ship

that is the way of the world

That is why America (Trump) should soft pedal

pchukwudi:
The essence of the deal (just like Paris Deal) was to weaken America, period.

The crave to weaken America and empower her enemies is the same reason these idiots (like vampires thrown into sunlight) feel deeply offended when they hear phrases like "America First" and "Make America Great Again".

Sorry to say this, but Obama's presidency (despite huge initial goodwill given to it by many Americans) proved to be a hugely disappointing disaster for America.

Obama presidency was a disaster?

this man must be joking

A president that pulled his country out the worst recession in 80 years In his first term, ended the war in Iraq, saved the auto industry; reduced unemployment rates from the highs be inherited it, And saved the housing market amongst other achievementa was a huge disaster?

Are you joking?

There were some things he got wrong

but in all

he was a GOOD president

I know many Nigerians don't like him, due to whatever (for many because they believe "he introduced gay to America" and other irrelevant talk like that

But no one can take the successes of Obama presidency away regardless of the faults

Trump Is consolidating on the gauna of Obama which is a plus for Trump

but he is getting the socials VERY WRONG




EDIT

We have a complete slowpoke as president of Nigeria that plunged Nigeria into recession and kept It there till date

a country whose economy is projected to grow MAXIMUM 2.5 % in a country that has population growing at over 3% shows that Nigeria is receding massively

If it is so easy to pull a country out of recession, why is NIGERIA still in that mess?
And countries like say Italy and Portugal struggling?

you have to give props to Obama even if you don't like him, as I give props to Trump when he does well even tho I think he is a P.O.S.

abbey621:
Yes, it's high time the U.S stops policing the world, if Iran wants to be a monster let it be a monster, let Europe and Asia handle them. The U.S should reduce funding to Nato, United Nations and so on. It's high time to focus more on domestic issues. Domestic terrorism and racism, police brutality and overall decay of American values.

you obviously don't understand how global political economy works

The middle east catching fire woukd spell doom for
American interest and assets in tht region

Iran MUST NOT be a monster

American presidents regardless of who it is will make sure of that.

As for reduced funding to NATO and UN

you must be joking right?

All trump wanted was for other countries to pay more which is a legitimate concern
but you have forgotten that The ideological war is far from over, and the Soviets are still itching to propagate their ideals

China is trying to do same, and they have to be clipped before they succeed

The dynamics in the international political economic space is very complex
And a simplistic solution you are offering is damaging

The strength of a country is the number of countries willing to associate with it

that is what China knows, and have been trying to buy association with African countries for example with all these concessions and poisonous loans

America recoiling into its shell will destroy America
those alliances America keeps in the Asia Pacific, Europe and the middle east need to be maintained for globalisation ask global prosperity to continue

not to forget that the USD is the reserve currency

that's a lot of perks and the US hace to bear the responsibility too

Chrisbeks:
Go and google Rashida tlaib and ilhan Omar's anti semitic comments, the evidence of the Jews and Israel hating abounds. The US house of Reps actually had to pass a motion to condemn her antisemitism. AOC is not much better than those two, she's also definitely an Israel hater

certain things Israel does in the middle east is highly condemnable

The Arabs are also not helping matters

So I won't blame anyone for calling out the excesses of the Zionists

but then

we have mumu Christians in Nigeria who see Israel as a country that does no wrong

abbey621:
Yes they are all foolish. This is exactly what Trump is saying, the leaders of those countries how much are they contributing to the deal? Just like Nato, how many of those big boyz are paying their fair share? One would think, the big countries closest to Iran and the Middle East would be willing to pay more for peace but rather they prefer to continue using the U.S as the scapegoat.

Smh

is this your answer?

wow

PaulSimon2020:
He only did it to spite Obama, that's all. Stupiid egocentric narcissistic misogyny.

we know

Chrisbeks:
I don't know about the rest but Obama and Merkel are very stupid indeed

PLEASE tell my you THINK they are stupid?

Ikechu12:
Don't mistake my life as you and Ugosample bleeped up life. Not everyone is as BROKE, JOBLESS, PATHETIC and MISERABLE as the hellhole both of you live that's why you coon are so damn happy to jump and nickname yourselves as beast aka savages for white Massa hoping they can uplift the miserable shit you both call a life.

I regretted login because I know myself you incompetent monkey. Once I read something, I have the impulse to respond even if it's bullshit, propaganda and lies from anigga that wishes he's been to Dubai.

And since you say I'm dreaming about living in America, let's put that to a test shall we. I'll be in Atlanta next week Monday and I'll be there until Sunday. Let's meet shall we. Let's see between you and I who's broke and jobless. You can bring your unexposed, incompetent, coonish, cheerleading husband, Ugosample, with you as well as you obese bitch you wish has a yansh while you at it

smh

abbey621:
Pure comedy....lol. Know one thing, America's military might is second to none, the willingness to protect its citizens even at the expense of the world cannot be underestimated. You keep talking about China & Russia not knowing that Nato or no Nato, the world's foreign currency reserve is in dollars. It is in the best interest of the world to keep the U.S strong and healthy. Trump went against Iran's deal and several Obama era policies because quite frankly they were nonsense! Iran had no intention of stopping its nuclear program and releasing such huge amounts of money only strengthened their resolve to fund terrorism. In Trump's mind countries like Iran & Pakistan will never change their hatred for America and America will never stop trying to crush them, so why give them ammunition to use against the U.S? U.S can give money to Iran but can't release the same money to help minority communities and infrastructure decay in places like Flint Michigan.....Rubbish!

Furthermore, you're talking about migrants as if you don't know the U.S has a serious problem. A country in debt of 20 trillion dollars has no business trying to police the world, they have no business encouraging rule breakers and those who make a mockery of their immigration laws. Yes illegal immigrants are part of the problem, everyone knows this but only Trump has the balls to go against political correctness which was determined to ignore the problem. How many of your brothers and sisters have gone into the U.S and stayed illegally, how many more have been denied at the embassy due to Nigerians' bad reputation? Have we forgotten the visa lottery so quickly?

Lastly, you thought America's economy would have double the digits? What gave you that impression? The majority of those who voted against Trump did so because they believed he would crash the economy, they foresaw 2 or more wars and overall destruction of America. Those who voted for him expected more jobs, higher stock market and tougher stance against illegal immigrants, so far I would say he's doing a good job keeping his campaign promises.

Are you telling me thst Obama, Putin, Ximping, Macron/Hollamde and Merkel are ALL stupod for reaching that deal with Iran?

10 years of negotiation?

Are you NoggerAreans jokers?

why is Europe still fighting to save the deal of it was such a bad deal?

Why ia China trying to save the dwal as well?

It's just shameful how many reason

.Trump is doing good in some respects

but pulling pulling out of the Iran deal was a mistake.

amongst many other mistakes he has made

SoNature:
The man is a garrulous White supremacist...
Besides, why won't he respond when he sleeps and wakes up on Twitter?
Trump is dividing the US, and it’s sad that he will win 2020 presidential election.

it's looking more likely That he will win a second term

but anything can happen still

depends on who geta the ticket in the Dems side

if a socialist apologist gets the ticket


the Trump gets a second term easy

but if they present a centrist

that will be something

linearity:
“Go back to where you came from or your country” is racist and it is an example of a racist word cited in US equal employment rules that governs employments, interaction between workers or between employers and employees.

If you as an employer or an employee said that same word that Trump said to a fellow employee you are guaranteed to get fired or at the least suspended.

People of color, especially Africans in America hear those exact same racist words on almost a daily bases in the US from those who think they own America and are pained by the success immigrate are making, while they become increasingly lazy as they wait on their government checks or work at low paying outlet because they couldn’t gather the necessary skills or education to get better jobs.

Trump knows exactly what he was doing, he is racist to the core. He has still not apologized the Central Park 5; Five blacks who where wrongly accused of raping and killing a white lady in Central Park, NYC. Trump took a full page ad calling for their execution....even after DNA exonerated them and they were set free from prison after been incarcerated for years, for crime they know nothing about; Trump still came out and condemned their release and compensation by the city.

The guy is unapologetically racist, period! NYC housing authority have gone after him multiple times for bluntly refusing to rent to blacks and he have to settle out of court.

Trump is not a pretender

he has presented himself as a racist

remember the birth certificate debacle with Obama?

That is enough proof

BruncleZuma:
His grandmother, current and former wives.

One even came into the US and was working illegally till BJs and rimjobs got her a sugar daddy with enough connect to get an Einstein Visa wen nah just bólé full her brain.

Well let's not talk about that one sef

that is another case

Chrisbeks:
You have zero sense

smh

BruncleZuma:
The Messiah complex and Stockholm syndrome of a certain group of Nigerians will never let them see Trump for the shyster and con artist he'll forever be.

Make una dey drink Fensic for Americans matter till dem kuku tell una howfar.

See wetin Free-to-Air don do some Nigerians.

I weep for una.

it's a big shame really

No wonder NIgeria ended up with Buhari

and despite tens of thousands dying

nobody is criticizing him

Nigerians need strong hand for them to be reformatted

Chrisbeks:
Trump didn't make any racist comment, all those wailing losers should take a back seat and let him run the country

you have zero idea

Alapafaari:
Make una leave Trump alone, he is saying the bitter truth. All those people from Africa that want to bastardize USA should be sent packing.

See what this one is saying

American citizens should be sent packing

you see why Nigeria is going nowhere

because many Nigerians don't think properly

nijabazaar:
I like Trump.

But lets face it. He is racists and skewed against anyone black...except Kanye West

And do you know the funniest thing? The women were busy arguing about a policy within their party's twitter handle and Trump just barge in to insult them.
As in, it was entirely not his business but he felt the need to insult them.

I like Trumpz stance on Buhari and any muslim fanatic but he should dial down on his racist tantrums.

He should know that he too is the son of an immigrant. If the women were elected as American reps, then they are American.


Mr Trump is an heir to the tradition of American failure on race, one which misunderstands or ignores the country’s fundamental premise that people, in the words of Martin Luther King, “not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character”.

In business such racism might be deplored but considered a private affair. However, in office it is an understatement to say that a bigoted, misogynistic narcissist is unfit to be US president.

But in all, He is a likeble Man, he defends Isreal (which is important against the Arabs). Trump is just like your garrulous uncle you cant help but like...

EXACTLY

Trump is not all bad

He is getting some things right

but a good number of things wrong

That is just the truth

dermmy:
Even four republican members voted and condemned him.
As a leader you should expect criticism it's like Trump doesn't know what leadership means. You don't react to every thing people say about you or your policies. He is the president of United States for God sake. His racist comments is against what America stands for, if he wants the congress women to go back to their countries he should go back to Germany the country of his ancestors too. Trump is too nationalistic.

Nigerians have low iq

that is the issue

they don't see anything wrong with trump actions because that resonates the dominant mentality in that shit.hole zoo that they come from

That is why you don't see NIgerians strongly condemn their leaders when they do wrong......

to them
it's expected of a leader to act as he like and not be challenged

that is the cultural inclination of a "TYPICAL" black man.

so.don't be surprised when you read comments like these

anonimi:
[img]https://otrazhenie.files./2013/08/step.jpg[/img]

but the people have to be willing to walk with you

look at the civil rights movement that destroyed Jim Crow
It was a collective of black folks against the oppressive system.

Africans have not gotten to that level of sensibility yet.
it's all about their stomach and mundane things
So how can YOU help a country in that shape

anonimi:
The bold shows that you understand what work needs to be done.
So get started and keep finding and adding similarly interested folks to the work.
How much of European history do you know

A lot of history

ise82:
Don’t mind them. I know Nigeria is like because we have so many foolish Nigerians. Trump no send you and your country u still open ur gutter mouth supporting blindly. The truth is Nigerians in the diaspora no like this trump pig.

you will be surprised that many Nigerians in the diaspora like trump

the fact that they left Nigetya has not changed who they are or how they think

hermesprogidy:
Why am I not surprised? Stupid Nigerian youths supporting bigotry and nonesense. So if someone critics your dumb government, they automatically become unpatriotic? Little wonder Nigeria is a shithole. Trump is an unbridled idiot and a racist. Those tweets are a new low, even for him.

exactly

that is why no one should be surprised with the crop of leaders that hold sway in Nigeria


The mentality of most Nigerians is in the gutter

PatN2011:
You have no clue. You are fixated about gay issues - what a shame. Where do you get your news from?

it's the simplistic, one dimensional thinking of many Africans that is at play here

that is why you and I see reading shocking comments here

Ijawwomaninoyo:
Not big boy, STREETS!
You can't keep such money alone on the streets, he should have relocated.

that is true

ziziangel:
Like I don't know Chinemerem, who squandered his father's 45 million in Port harcourt, ran to Canada...got back last year and still squatting with his Dad including his wife and 3 kids...Stop tribalism...it doesnt pay monthly.


Note: Before you respond, I'm Ibo too. Bye

you are igbo.....


yes

I know an nnewi fellow too whom the family raised N2m for and he squandered it.....
there are wasteful nwafor sons too.

anonimi:
.......to a place where people like you and their ancestors are daily working to improve as they worked on their society in the past?
You are on to a long thing.
They will continue to treat you and your likes as the shittyhole people that you have chosen to be.
Why can't you do your own bit to fix your country


www.nairaland.com/attachments/4916463_img1217_jpegf36bc6f0e3954883e8b3b5a692deed65

you really think it is up to YOU to fix Nigeria?

you are on a LONG THING

Nigeria can NEVER be fixed *same with most of Africa*

because the ingredients for "fixing" is non existent


Repairing a country starts from the MIND

And that is where our people and govt get it wrong
without cleaning up the twisted and fvcked up minds of many NiggerArea citizens and reorientation
every other thing is wrong

Fashola govt proved that

despite his efforts, because of the $hithole tendencies of a typical black man (Nigerians) ; they bastardised his legacy and efforts

the minority who want to change things can't because the larger majority would sabotage them....

so they are fed up and applying for express entry to Canada where their skills would be better utilised


it's a catch 22 situation for Nigeria really.

MobilityExpress:
Is it not Nigeria again? Something that was fully paid for by the USAID agency and giving out free to be distributed free, they will divert and sell it out at outrageous amount. Even the blood of Jesus and the anointing of God that they received free to distribute free, some Nigerian pastors are selling it. Imagine what's going on in IDP camps, they might be selling the donated food and shelter to the victims, and their stories of oppression of victims in those camps must be true. On judgment day, Nigeria own go dey separate. Too much wickedness in the land.

excessive wickedness

ogbonti:
You regret logging in here and u wrote this long epistle, if you didn't regret logging in here, you would have written a book as voluminous as the holy bible.... I couldn't read your Load of crap... people who talk much about going to work have no job, YOU ARE A JOBLESS LOW LIFE and going to America.will forever remain a dream for you because we don't want you here, that's why u hate Trumo, so kindly keel yourself, BYE!

that guy is a punk

I regret responding to him

Low life negros will always be low life negros

WisdomFlakes:
Nonsense and hypocrisy. Na so. Yet you couldn't call out that bigot you responded to when he implied that Tinubu is the cause of Lagos indigenes selling land to non-indegenes,m. You are just a typical hypocrite and closet bigot like the rest of them. Devil punish all of Una.

Smh

This one sef

What is this one saying?

Eteka1:
How does Lord Lugard come in here?
Ours is a society where no one bothers how you make money, peoples even celebrate kidnappers, drug barons, oil thieves etc. Is it then a surprise that such vices are on the rise? No. Must we always find someone to blame for our failure to imbibe positive values as a society?

you have said it all jare

NIGERIANS always looking for who to blame

WisdomFlakes:
Your bigotry is now seeping out. So Tinubu should have prevented Igbos and other non-indegenes from owning land in Lagos huh? I guess that would have won him accolades in your books. So I guess it's safe to say that it is a deliberate policy of Igbos in Igboland not to sell land to non-igbos unlike the 'foolish' Yorubas. Smh. It's really difficult figuring you Igbos out, really. Your bigotry is inborn. I just give up. You and daboomb can shove your bigotry up your assess.

you are missing the point

And there is no bigotry whatever in my post.....

Selling the properties was not a wrong thing to do.
everyone sells and buys property
even in igboland.

And the Yoruba guys are not foolish to sell.....


But what is true is that Tinubu the man you do revere gave the keys to Lagos to thugs and gangsters
THAT IS THE Tinubu legacy

I grew up to to see it, you know it (that is if you were old enough and lived in Lagos) and I Know it.

If that is not the case, punk asses like MC Oluomo and the likes would not be relevant as they are in Lagos today

One dimensional thinking will not help you


Calling out Tinubu for his wrong doing does not equate hating Yorubas...

Tinubu is NOT the Yoruba race
he ia just ONE man amongst millions

Daboomb:
I also grew up in Lagos too and l can confirm that the above is very true.
After Tinubu turned Lagos Yorubas into Touts, thugs and Street Urchins for his own political advantage, these Younger Mne hwo didnot go to school nor leanr a trade then resorted to selling-off wahtever property their Parents have laboured for.
The result is that they sold-off most of their family landed property first to Igbos (who somehow, have the cash to buy it) and in the last ten years, the Northerners just decided (for reasons which l think are 'strategic') to start buying landed property in the center of major towns in lagos.
From Orile, Surulere, Ebutte Metta, Bariga, Ilupeju, just name it.
In some places, they even form the majority of landlords on the streets!

But like you said, you will never hear them boast about it, you will only know when one of them misbehaves and is reported to the Police, he is sprung-out very quickly like nothing happened, by these Northern Landlords.

This is the legacy of Tinubu in Lagos, assisting indigene Children to become tenants on their ancestral lands.

EXACTLY so

The Tinubu legacy

it's a shame really

but it's not only tinubu to blame tho

Some of the properties my father bought were at ridiculous prices THEN....

Alhaji Haruna is dead from what I hear

but there are MANY Alhaji Harunas in Lagos
