WinningSun: Everyone is an immigrant to a place historically or otherwise. However, does that mean we should allow any Tom, Dick and Harry into a country? We're residents in places we don't come from. Does it mean we should start inhabiting the indigenes of the area in our houses because we bought lands and built houses in their area? Singapore, Japan, Botswana and Israel are examples of nations with very strict immigration laws. Yet immigrants made up various countries. As harsh as the statement might be, he's right. Nations have the right to protect their borders, Trump is doing it the best way he deems fit, and constitutionally, he is empowered to. 3 Likes 1 Share |

DID HE LIE? When someone insults me, I don't immediately castigate. I weigh the statement and ask myself... Is this statement TRUE? Is there any iota of TRUTH to it? With honest personal introspection, I look inward and judge. If I see any semblance of truth o the statement, I immediately initiate a process to make AMENDS where necessary. If it is not, I don't judge the abuser... I simply pity his ignominy and shallow mind. I fear Trump's statement has (not an iota) but a Plethora of Truths to it! African people should wake up and DEMAND Excellence! The Land is not cursed. The People are. 4 Likes |

humilitypays: I feel sorry for you. They have got you finally. I live in the West and I bet you many Nigerians here wish to return home to that shithole. If you think the comfort in western world is everything in life...then until you get there. Many westerners with their so called advanced society live miserable life. Many years ago I met an European who said many people in the West are less happier and that when he travel to countries like Brazil that has sizable population of poor people he does not seem to understand why these poor people who live in abject poverty live a happier life. That all their needs are simple and easily met. About poor Africans dieing to cross over to the West, until they get there they will realize that most of their expectations are illusion from watching too much Hollywood movies. If only the government can fix basic amenities, people have no reason to come here except for sightseeing. 10 Likes 1 Share |

The man called trump is not at fault at all if our so called leaders are not corrupt and are full of positive ideals that can improve our countries why will we be travelling to their countries? |

salford1:That means Trump is stupid and doesn't understand how immigration works, why would anyone from Norway or any Scandinavian country wants to migrate to the US when Norway as a better quality of life, better health care system, better education system and people don't walk around with guns in Norway. US is nothing more than an advanced third world country only someone that has never been there will think otherwise. 3 Likes 1 Share |

planetx:That is obvious. He can't probably tell where haiti is on a map or where Nigeria is located in Africa. He is just an outspoken racist. Although still better than a closet racist. His outburst could also have been worse...he could have easily called us "blacks" low IQ people by using Nigeria or its people as a case study... He has zero class and most likely one of the most hated person in the world right now. Even Canada felt the effect of his election as the POTUS, it became more racist when trump got sworn in. I became a liberal shortly after. 3 Likes |

TheGreatIYANU: Are these people defending Trump on here actually Nigerians/blacks ![]() The context of his statement matters. Let me try and break it down for you: Example A Me: Nigeria is a sh*thole country. Too much greed, corruption, 419, ritual killings, boko haram etc. Example B: Job Recruitment Officer: Why do we hire people from sh*thole countries such as from Africa, India, Haiti etc. I would rather hire Merit based such as people from Norway Example A is what you're arguing; Example B is what the sh8thead Trump is advocating for when you replace employment with immigration 1 Like |

Human lives doesn't matter here....the president, governors, senators, etc don't care when an ordinary citizen is killed or murdered in cold blood....we move about like nothing is wrong....murder, i mean gruesome murder everyday in Nigeria being sponsored by same people in government, and you think Nigeria is not a shithole ![]() 2 Likes |
