Mudley313:


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

TheGreatIYANU:
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.

humilitypays:
Don't mind Africans....let they keep cursing and throwing jabs at Trump, a billionaire, a made man, the number 1 citizen of the world today....let them not go and face their useless presidents and governors and senators and ministers and demand excellent leadership from them or every Nigerian go to the street and live until the stupid leaders resign.

Iran, a radical muslim country is doing it....every part of the world is waking up and challenging their leaders to do things right for their nation to move away from poverty to developed nation, but here in Nigeria and Africa, we prefer to lie to ourselves to feel good while we go to bed hungry, scared of our life and scared of tomorrow

swashbuckler84:


This came out yesterday, you slowpoke. The story you’re referring to was the huts comment, which he said last year and only became public recently. Go learn how to read.

humilitypays:
Anything that will make Africans wake up and have sense is welcomed!

We Africans need to wake up and surprise the world like China.

Nigeria ought to lead that way...Nigeria need to lead other black African nations to light and let the world celebrate us for once

Don't blame Trump, if u were in his shoes, u would hate Africans, everything about Africa is bad.
We and MiddleEast are now the headquarters of barbarism; from Islamic terrorists from Middle east, north Africa, and Nigeria (Book Haram & Fulani herdsmen), to political corruption, government looting, tribalism, ethnic cleansing, generational poverty and what have you.

What good is Africa to the rest of the world

We flood Europe, America, etc, thereby destabilizing their economy instead of fighting our useless governments to fix our nations and make our nations okay for us to stay back, we prefer to flee from our problem only to come back to them later, its a shame

Dsov2016:
really all those who are saying and supporting trump in his assertions have serious lack of self pride. they are the examples of typical Africans who led this continent to its problems. monkey no fine but him ma like am. u think what is going on in Nigeria is terrible then look to other countries even us itself and u will realize that they are in even worse situation than ours

President Trump on Thursday balked at an immigration deal that would include protections for people from Haiti and some nations in Africa, demanding to know at a White House meeting why he should accept immigrants from “shithole countries” rather than from places like Norway, according to people with direct knowledge of the conversation.

Mr. Trump’s remarks, the latest example of his penchant for racially tinged remarks denigrating immigrants, left members of Congress from both parties attending the meeting in the Cabinet Room alarmed and mystified. He made them during a discussion of an emerging bipartisan deal to give legal status to immigrants illegally brought to the United States as children, those with knowledge of the conversation said, speaking on the condition of anonymity to discuss the meeting.

When Mr. Trump heard that Haitians were among those who would benefit from the proposed deal, he asked whether they could be left out of the plan, asking, “Why do we want people from Haiti here?”

The comments were reminiscent of ones the president made last year in an Oval Office meeting with cabinet officials and administration aides, during which he complained about admitting Haitians to the country, saying that they all had AIDS, as well as Nigerians, who he said would never go back to their “huts,” according to officials who heard the statements in person or were briefed on the remarks by people who had. The White House vehemently denied last month that Mr. Trump made those remarks.

In a written statement, Raj Shah, the White House deputy press secretary, did not deny the account of the meeting on Thursday or directly address Mr. Trump’s comments.

“Certain Washington politicians choose to fight for foreign countries, but President Trump will always fight for the American people,” Mr. Shah said. “Like other nations that have merit-based immigration, President Trump is fighting for permanent solutions that make our country stronger by welcoming those who can contribute to our society, grow our economy and assimilate into our great nation.”

But the president’s vulgar language on a delicate issue left the fate of the broader immigration debate in limbo and had the potential to torpedo the chances of achieving the deal being sought to protect about 800,000 undocumented immigrants brought to the country as children. And they drew a backlash from Republican and Democratic lawmakers, many of whom called Mr. Trump’s utterances unacceptable at best and plainly racist at worst.

Representative Mia Love, a Republican of Utah who is of Haitian descent, demanded an apology from the president, saying his comments were “unkind, divisive, elitist, and fly in the face of our nation’s values.”

“This behavior is unacceptable from the leader of our nation,” Ms. Love went on in an emotional statement that noted her heritage and that said her parents “never took a thing” from the government while achieving the American dream. “The president must apologize to both the American people and the nations he so wantonly maligned.”

“As an American, I am ashamed of the president,” said Representative Luis V. Gutiérrez, Democrat of Illinois. “His comments are disappointing, unbelievable, but not surprising.” He added, we can now “say with 100 percent confidence that the president is a racist who does not share the values enshrined in our Constitution or Declaration of Independence.”

The reactions were extraordinary bipartisan rebukes to a sitting president, but they only fanned what has been a long-simmering debate over Mr. Trump’s views and talk on race.

“We must recognize the full human equality of all of our people before God, before the law, and in the councils of government. We must do this, not because it is economically advantageous, although it is; not because of the laws of God command it, although they do; not because people in other lands wish it so. We must do it for the single and fundamental reason that it is the right thing to do.” - Robert F. Kennedy, June 6, 1966
“Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” - President Donald Trump, January 11, 2018
Also trump
If ivanka wasn't my daughter I'd fuckkkk her

Still trump

Grab em by the pussssy


This racist misogynist narcissistic retarded dotard should just STFU

Rextayne:
This corn head bastard. he's a disgrace to america and not worthy to be a president!

Dlee1:
Corruption and negligence will not allow us to develop our nation. I wish the western world could ban our politicians from residing in their country. Africa is a shithole. I wonder when the masses will come to their senses and fight against our corrupt politicians.

WinningSun:
hope he remembers that he is from an immigrant descendants. he is everything of a bigot. a male chauvanist, and bloody racist. egomaniac.

Luukasz:
And some Africans keep supporting this white folks the fact is they see Africans as sh!t. Africans are nothing to them thats why I do SMH when I see our people making a fuss about the white folk who only see them as worthless

otswag:
Hehe. There's nothing he says or does now that people didn't know about him long before he won the presidency so should this surprise you all. Anyway, I now see the USA as a political experiment. I'm keenly interested in how they would fare after this term of trumps presidency. We panic that his decisions are irrational,however,if you take China as an example,you will realise that sometimes, you need to take drastic measures to make a real change if you are not happy with the status quo. Who knows, maybe these extreme measures would lead to something positive for the USA at the end. I seriously doubt this though cause it seems more like he has been in a phase of self destruction since he took office and he's taking the USA down with him. Time will tell

Luukasz:
And what have you done to revolutionize and revamp the shithole?

Guestlander:


I'm sure you are one of the people who held banners to celebrate his election in the SE. Trump can do no wrong even though he doesn't give a damn about people like you.

Luukasz:
And what have you as an individual done to address that aint biased here but you'll saying Nigeria is a sh!thole tell me what impact you've had to progress the nation.
Apparently all of youre just inferior to the whites

AFONJAPIG:
then he will see me again in America

mansakhalifa:
Haiti: France and America ruined that country. Go read about its foundation. They couldn't let some n!ggers run a country. And now,Trump could bring himself to say this?! As for Nigeria,my country and the rest,there is nothing for me to say. We have a choice: get it right and prove Trump wrong or keep getting this barrage of insults from that donkey. Not with this sort of leaders,I fear. Lastly,Trump should not forget that America owes alot of its history to immigrants. America itself WAS built by immigrants who had to flee war,hunger,poverty,economic deprivation,religious and political persecution in their countries. A case in point: the Puritans who came to the new world in the early days of the 17th century.

Lucasbalo:
Gbam. It's called Stockholm Syndrome which means people loving their oppressors. How would any sane being loved the idiotic 71 year old demented racist who sees nothing Good in people of color except white folks. What a shame people on nairaland are supporting the worthless racist while Americans are calling him out everyday.

Mac2016:
I am far disappointed in some comments here than Trump's. Africans accepting their homelands as a shit hole.. Even when America was at the height of their uncivilized reins and chaos they never saw their homeland as a shit hole. Foolish Nigerians... Smh

Meti99:
How does that pain you compared to the ridicule this Fulani Bull-hari has subjected the Christians in this nation to??

VIPERVENOM:
This is the same man that called The people of the state of Alabama bunch of loosers. The same man thar threw toilet paper at hurricane victims, he slut-shammed a senator, he called the white house dump. He constantly insults africans & yet some ppl here still support him. Wait until he insults ur family na.

Blade50002:


Dsov I love our country EXTREMELY! But what he said is the truth. Nigeria is a fucking shit hole! We must make our leaders stand up or we must become the new leaders and make the change. Nigerian politicians have robbed at least 5 generations to come of the opportunity for a good life. Let's see if we can salvage future for those after us. I live in the US and here a lot of Nigerians are living much better than the whites. I have promised myself that I will follow the example of Innoson motors and a lot of strong entrepreneurs in Ogun State. My resources will be spent developing profitable businesses which create jobs in my state and my first business will be in my village. Northern, Southern, Eastern and Western Nigerians must begin to reason like that. We also need new cities. When one man builds in one area that is good others follow. We should also go for planned residential and industrial infrastructural development. We can do it together.

I watched one interview yesterday. a young man was interviewing one old man asking if the increase in PMS would bring solution to shortage of fuel scarcity. the man said what has the past increase done to solve fuel scarcity


he said we youth ain't ready, if you youths are ready, you won't go and bring an old man that suppose to be resting in his village to come and rule over you and you expect him to perform


that was really a big slap on Nigeria youths, we need to get it right this time, 2019 is at the corner, do the politics and don't just talk the politics


average Nigerian youths belong to no party with party recognise card, na just on keyboard they see theirselves as party members




do the politics, that's how to reduce this godfatherism, kingmaker nonsense and eradicate the influence of this elites politicians in order to embrace the development of Nigeria

planetx:
He was not from Kenya but a native born from Hawaii. And to think some NLanders were defending Trump the last time he made disparaging remarks saying it was a ploy by CNN to discredit him shows they dont know the racial history of Trump.

This was a man who lead a campaign to unjustly lock up five black young men who were falsely accused of raping a white woman in a case know as the New York "central park five". A man that was fined by the government several times for refusing to rent his apartments in New York to blacks and minorities. Not that I disagree with his assertion of Africa and Haiti being shitholes.

Lucasbalo:
If that bigoted piece of a*s wipe send a drone to wipe out their villages and kill off their whole family, the Braindead fooools will still hail him as the greatest man after Jesus Christ. That's how you know people with charred brains .

Chemist009:
It's just a pity ..... almost moved to tears���. When will our predicament as a people end? Must we forever out of cowardice watch generations upon generations of our lineage perish because of senseless,wicked,and devilish imbeciles who call themselves our leaders? All I can do now is weep,but deep down
I still feel maybe,just maybe there is light at d end of this labyrinth tunnel afterall!

c733d:
Trump is right,African countries are shitholes. Their governments won't improve power,health,transport and education systems. Their people run to America for a better life.... Who the fucck built America? Thieving leaders?
Donald Trump should send all illegal residents home.
