Former Nigerian Aviation Minister, Femi Fani-Kayode has accused respected news medium New York Times of lying about US President Donald Trump's purported comment about Nigerians.

The New York Times on Saturday had reported that Trump said in a June 2017 meeting that Nigerians refuse to "return to their huts" after seeing America.

Other comments credited to the president at the meeting include: "immigrants from Haiti all have AIDS" and "Afghanistan is a haven of terrorists."

The New York Times had quoted two anonymous sources present at the meeting but who sought anonymity.

Trump administration officials denied the report, saying that though the meeting took place, the president never used the words "AIDS" and "huts".
In a reaction via his verified Twitter handle, Fani-Kayode described the New York Times report as a "lie" and "salacious gossip".

He said,

The @nytimes claim
@realDonaldTrump said "Nigerians refuse to return to their huts after seeing America", "immigrants from Haiti all have aids” and "Afghanistan is a haven of terrorists”. This is nothing but sallacious GOSSIP and quintessential FAKE NEWS.The

Sauce ?

See the type of people we once had as our leaders

Sauce ?

juice

New York Times and CNN are fake news channels when it comes to anything concerning Trump.

Horrible NYT Unwatchable CNN

Wetin concern Fani with US?

Even if Trump said it, I do not feel pained because we say more derogatory things to each other in Nigeria on a per second basis!

The stupid man
Always splitting rubbish
He try small

The media attack against that troublesome man is just too much. I follow NowThis and NowThis Politics, two American pages, on Facebook and I've seen hate on the man to know what a media attack is.

Trump can do no good but Hilary and Obama are good people. I don't buy that narrative. Even though I don't consider Trump a good person, I don't think Hillary and Obama are better. The media is against the man but he doesn't care.

Ok.

But, it is also time we put our country in order.

I can kill this man. He can't be yoruba bcus he's too vulgar and stupid. He's very similar to a wild animal.

The man just want to get noticed. Hateful tribal man, Nmadi kanu's brother.

The man think he's Jew ;check his twitter account. He doesn't know more that to bark and block people anyhow on twitter.

Religion always messing up the human psyche.
As a self-appointed christian defender, Fani will always side with Trump no matter what because he and other Trump
supporters believes that Trump is the greatest gift of God to humans.

The way FFK dey chop Bianca juicy fruit till it ran dry and gave the left over to her husband. Him suck all the sweet juicy alone

trump has said worse things and very capable of said this... he is right though, even fani kayode wouldn't mind permanently relocating.

The media anti-Trump rethoric is becoming obnoxious to say the least,how can you just come up with a story without proff . Same thing with CNN where three of its journalists had to resign over reports about Trump they published which were later found to be false. And the false ABC reports that disrupted the stock market and cost loses to investors. They are all becoming no better than gossip blogs.

u

Fani Kayode is a bast3rd he would have praised them if TRUCK had Called this bast3rd (Buhari) a dullard. I know I'm confusing both the wailers and zombies.

Was he dre.... Idiot.

As a Nigerian I do not take offense in those words even if he said so.

How can I? We have crude but cannot have enough fuel at our filling stations. Our President son is an undergraduate in UK. Our Senate President all children are schooling abroad. Our daughters are running to Lybia to be raped.

Are we no ashamed. Are we not ashamed to be Nigerians?

Ok

Fani Kayode, will you keep kwayeet....were u in d oval office when the meeting took place?

What's with the "blasting"?

Nigeria is filled with foolish people, always talking about what they don't know like they do,watch this video on Donald Trump and tell me if he still the messiah you think he his. He only calls CNN fake News because they always expose his lies.

Same man who directs hate-filled criticism at the government would still complain when the government is criticized in a 'creative' way.

Maybe he thinks in his foolish mind, "I'm the only one permitted to 'blast' the government" or "don't criticize if its not hateful enough"

Afonja and chameleon spirit be li...

WE LOVE TRUMP
WE LOVE HIS GREAT ACTS

Except when he spends all his time whining about the media.

And it takes an abysmal judge of character and basic human decency to say Obama is not a better person than Trump.

Trump my man! I wish our president is trump. .. Trump : "America first"

Nutase:
Wetin concern Fani with US?

because it affects us. Those useless lefties media want to use Nigerians score points. only a fool would believe Trump said that crap.

Trump is just clueless like the hanger we have here also
