After digging further, I have come to realize that OP is creating fake news out of real news

1. No other news outlet is reporting these 5.3 million Americans fleeing to Mexico except the OP on nairaland. See page one of my google search.

2. The report OP copied says 5.3 million TOURISTS in the video and NOT 5.3 millions Americans fleeing to Mexico.

5.3 million sounds about right for number of American tourists. Even American politicians (e.g Republican Senator - Ted Cruz flew to Mexico for holiday/tourism when Texas power grid collapsed a few months back).

I wonder who is paying OP to spread fake news on Nairaland. OP, if you want to go far in blogging, try spread truthful news and not lies. People are not as dumb as you think.

Let me go back to Atiku vs Tinubu vs Buhari. Nothing else to see here.

Whenever i see these kinds of media reports I just laugh. They are just lying. Nothing more.

• 5.3million Americans flee US to Mexico amidst skyrocketing cost of living

Millions of Americans are fleeing in droves to Mexico data shows. Tired of the Joe Biden led US government, its attendant mismanagement, anti-people policies and an unending inflation, a huge percentage of the tech savvy youth demographics are exiting in droves.

Americans are now moving to and visiting Mexico City to take advantage of lower rent. Also, the visa policy of Mexico that allows visitors to stay for six months without a visa is seen as a tempting offer that is too good to reject, especially for remote workers.

With the influx comes new changes. According to recent reports, Americans have brought a scent of “new-wave” lifestyle to Mexican cities that locals are getting fed up with. Corner stores have slowly transformed into coffee shops and Pilates studios, and English language is becoming norm.

Pictures and news the MSM will never show you

The Warner Bros Discovery merger has brought mixed fortunes with it. While some high profile officials were relieved of their duties, others may have been lucky enough to survive the big stick in the meantime.

The high-profile cancellations happening within the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) right now thanks means there is a reshuffling of the deck and a new vision being proposed for the whole studio.

Last week, Warner Bros Discovery announced they were scrapping "Batgirl" even though the movie is at post-production level. Also it has been revealed that the movie was already costing $90million and the studio spending nearly $100 million dollars on it or N41.9billion Naira.

Batgirl was set to star Leslie Grace in the lead role, Brendan Fraser was to star as the villain while Michael Keaton's Batman was set to be reintroduced into the DCEU through the movie. However, the newly merged entertainment studio will now pass it off as a tax write-off, choosing to make only blockbusters and moving forward with a different plan.

Batgirl was scheduled to drop sometime later this year on HBO Max but won't be seeing the light of day for now. It will not be released on HBO MAX or in the cinema.

Assault on Unity Schools: Can Buhari redeem 5% of his image before he retires to Daura?

President Muhammad Buhari has had seven (7) years to fix Nigeria's decayed security architecture. Few months to the end of his disastrous reign in Aso rock, the Katsina State born former head of state has completely wrecked it all, leaving a rotten citadel filled with absolutely corrupt kleptomaniacs who are hell bent on profiteering off insecurity in Nigeria.

Buhari was elected by a huge population of deceived masses who mistook the President's so called integrity for the "Nigerian saviour". Apparently, the writing was always on the wall (sic 1983-5), but the party in charge, the People's Democratic Party (PDP) didn't leave the people a better choice.

ASUU should please call of strike, the number of times I’ve masturbated these past few months, suppose don enter Guinness book of record�

Lets get something straight here, Kwankwaso is rightfully qualified to vie for the office of the President. His pedigree lends credence to his stats.

Kwankwaso bagged a masters and PhD in engineering from the UK, worked as an Engineer in the civil service and helped solve a lot of Kano State water problems before venturing into politics.

He was elected into the state house of assembly and rose to be the Kano State House of Assembly Speaker. He later went on to become a two (2) term governor of Kano State, a federal minister and senator.

From the foregoing, the question of qualification is out of the way. This article focuses on how Kwankwaso failed to read the political scene in Nigeria and gaffed due to his inert egoistic tendencies.

How else would you explain the fact that Kwankwaso seems to be totally unaware of Peter Obi’s popularity among the Nigerian youths across the country? Also, why would Rabiu Kwakwanso choose to take to making derogatory remarks about a whole section of Nigeria?

He said

Unfortunately, there are many issues in the South-east, and a northern voter is the worst-hit in this issue of maladministration in this country. But even under that circumstance, a northern voter also believes that he is better with one united Nigeria.

“Therefore, most of the things that are happening in the South, especially in the South-east; people are not comfortable with that and as long as you have somebody from there in any party, it will be very difficult for the northern voters to vote, and that’s the situation now.”

If not for the fact that Kwankwaso is immune to the realities of happenings and events in Nigeria, he would have realized that the Presidential villa is not the birthright of NorthWest. More so, especially when the outgoing President, Muhammadu Buhari happens to come from the same zone as himself.

How do you explain the arrogance of a person who is supposed to know better politically, but couldn’t read the room better when it mattered the most? Maybe Kwankwaso and his advisers failed to realise that Nigeria is changing and that it’s exactly people like him who always bear the brunch of it due to fatal mistakes like his current gaffe.

Equity and justice demands that the next president of Nigeria must come from the South. How didn’t Kwankwaso know this and capitalize on Peter Obi’s popularity to set himself up for the next President of Nigeria with Obi’s blessings and support? Greed, selfish interest and feeling of superiority, are probably the leading vices here. He couldn’t hold his disappointment when his bluff was called, and as usual, he went on to Punch Newspaper for more gimmicks –

“Unfortunately, there are many issues in the South-East, and a northern voter is the worst-hit in this issue of maladministration in this country. But even under that circumstance, a northern voter also believes that he is better with one united Nigeria.

“Therefore, most of the things that are happening in the South, especially in the South-East; people are not comfortable with that and as long as you have somebody from there in any party, it will be very difficult for the northern voters to vote, and that’s the situation now.”

Now, Nigerians know that Rabiu Kwankwaso is just another ethnic jingoist. He has missed his easiest path to becoming the president of Nigeria and may never get such opportunity in his political career again.

Kwankwaso should know for a fact though that the rest of Nigeria don’t share in his delusional one sided inequity. He failed to read APC and PDP fear about Peter Obi’s growing massive support base and thought the “TakebackNaija” movement is a Twitter thing. Again, he has read wrong and may have dug his political retirement grave with another missed sling due to his egoistic tendencies.
