AU should stop following European Union blindly. European Union sees black Africa as backward. They cause conflict, irregular migration and life presidency only toappear as good people who fight the conflict (by stealing our rich resources), irregular immigration (by making public show of our disgrace) and life presidency by inteference in our politics to their advantage only.
Apart from natural resources, what has sub-saharan Africa discovered? They keep copying badly.

US is a sh*thole itself. They gun down themselves daily and there're ghettos everywhere. They sell guns in supermarkets in the US.

Buhari the coward is scampering and hiding his ugly head while the President of little Botswana is summoning the U.S ambassador to explain what Trump meant by calling African countries shitholes. Buhari is a coward, Nigeria is a big joke! Giant of Africa my big black ass!

I wish there was a better word to describe most African countries. Countries that their leaders jubilate and promote security agents for blatantly killing their citizens. Countries where their leaders purchase Mansions for their wives and concubines in foreign countries and go on holidays in overseas countries. Countries where their leaders sponsor terrorists organizations to influence political power takeovers. Countries where leaders bribe fellow leaders to change their constitutions so the head leaders could remain in government house in perpetuity. Countries were their leaders use inflationary policies to impoverish segments of the society. Countries where leaders can provide the most expensive items of luxury for themselves and children while a majority of the people work days on end but cannot afford one decent meal a day for themselves and their families. Countries where leaders patronize ritualists to gain political clout. I mean the list can continue in infinity. I wish there was a better word than shit hole to describe these African countries. Oh another phrase used sometime ago was fantastically corrupt. And we cried and laboured. But has anything changed? No. Instead, there is doubling down on the wickedness in high places. Shitholers. I'm one of them. Unfortunately, there is no escape unless, you want to to die in Libya or in the Mediterranean, trying to escape the seemingly accursed shithole or get sold into slavery for pennies. Or remain home and continue in senseless sycophancy.

Politics = Terrorism.
If you doubt this philosophical equation, I will ask you to think deeply about human affairs and how violence shapes our history. I don't support violence but the truth remains that most political agendas has been furthered greatly by acts of terror. Whether you call it terrorism or war on terror, it's still called terrorism.

Anyways truth remains that Africa is a shithole. You don't need to travel abroad to know this. Most African countries have their citizens living on less than a dollar a day. Why? Their economies are very poor.

There is no difference between racism and tribalism. Racism is produced abroad..... Tribalism is produced at home. Let us stop the hypocrisy. We are not different from Trump. If you say Igbo's should go home or jump into the lagoon, you have the Trump demon. Stop the hypocrisy!!

Son of Warri • 6 years ago

When Buhari made his 97% - 5% statement how many Nigerians kicked?

When Tinubu made his drunken fisherman statement, how many Nigerians hailed him instead of feeling genuine offense?

When Wole Soyinka declared that a wife was a mere domestic appendage, how many Nigerians expressed outrage?

The answer to all three questions (and numerous similar ones) is, VIRTUALLY NONE. The reason is that the average Nigerian is a hypocrite who needs to look within themselves and their system of government for healing.
A man who hates himself is a tragedy on two legs that can never produce anything good, can never be of use to society, can never excel or invent anything. A government system that believes in digging for and sharing oil money, instead of investing in its citizens abilities is little more than a jailhouse for its people and a people in such a country will never grow self worth.

Lets be honest; the only reason why most Nigerians are vocal about what Trump said is that the foreign press, Twitter, Facebook etc have been vocal about it.

In civilised countries, the sort of comments Nigerians make off the cuff would land them in jail with long sentences. This episode is something to learn from, if Trump wasn't US president, by now he would have been on his way to court (and probably jail); that's how things work in civilised countries - sadly, Nigeria is not one.

Dearest blessed splendid lovely Nigerians.
#donald duck trumpf meant the dumb African coward so-called leaders very well their cronies and cohorts who have looted Nigeria dry and still mindlessly looting the Commonwealth of the Nigerian blessed lovely people and sending them to enrich donald duck trumpf the american and european imperialists countries.

What is also true is that----THE #NIGERIAN AND AFRICAN SO-CALLED LEADERS WHO ARE ACTUALLY SHITHOLES HUTS DWELLERS hahahaha,----- give their mineral natural resources to america and europe to get richer while Africa the CUSTODIAN of 90% of the world's WEALTH is full of ghettos,shanty towns and no electricity

afam6nr • 6 years ago

AFRICAN LEADERS ARE NOT DIFFERENT FROM THE REST OF US, THEIR FOLLOWERS.

ASK THE AVERAGE NIGERIAN IN SCHOOL WHAT HE WOULD DO IF HE SUDDENLY BECOMES VERY RICH.

THE IMMEDIATE ANSWER YOU GET IS:

"BUYING HOUSES IN LONDON, DUBAI AND AMERICA, IMPORTING MADE IN AMERICA CARS AND PRIVATE JETS FOR PERSONAL USE"!

Not true..
A LEADER MUST BE SELFLESS AND VISIONARY..
The followers can't be compared to a LEADER.
A LEADER is ALWAYS SELFLESS,VISIONARY AND CARING(CIVIL SERVANT-SERVING THE PEOPLE).
Human beings just want to live decent lives and sometimes,other human beings MUST motivate and create the opportunity and atmosphere coupled with the inspiration for some human beings to prosper.
Nigerians don't seek handouts.
They want leaders who will tell what to do and how to go about it and NIGERIANS will fill the streets of Nigeriawide WORKING AND INNOVATING ENDLESSLY.
The government is like the father and mother of a child who daily tell the child how important it is to go to school,do homework and learn to pass exams.
The child NEVER expect the parents to come sit in the classroom and write for them.
Do you now understand how the NIGERIAN SO-CALLED LEADERS HAVE FAILED WOEFULLY TILL THIS DAY WHEN IT COMES TO LEADING NIGERIANS????

afam6nr • 6 years ago

LIKE HIM OR HATE HIM, TRUMP IS NEITHER A PRETENDER NOR A SYCOPHANT.

ARE AFRICAN COUNTRIES NOT ALREADY SEEN AND REGARDED AS "SHITHOLE" COUNTRIES TO ALMOST EVERY AMERICAN, EUROPEAN OR ASIAN ON THIS PLANET?

EVEN WE AFRICANS AND OUR LEADERS ARE THE WORST "SHIHOLE" IN BEHAVIOUR.

OTHERWISE,HOW DOES ANYBODY EXPLAIN THAT CITIZENS OF THE IMPOVERISHED AFRICAN CONTINENT WOULD BE STEALING THE MEAGRE REVENUE IN AFRICA AND BE PUTTING SECRETLY IN THE EUROPEAN AND AMERICAN ECONOMY, SUSTAINING THEIR GROWTH AT THE EXPENSE OF OUR IMPOVERISHED AFRICA?

OR, WHICH AMERICAN, EUROPEAN OR ASIAN HAS BUILT OR OWNS A SINGLE ROOM ANYWHERE IN AFRICA?

IF WE ARE NOT "SHITHOLE" COUNTRIES IN AFRICA, WHY ARE OUR CITIZENS DYING IN THE MEDITERANEAN SEA IN A DESPERATE, SUICIDAL BID TO ESCAPE FROM AFRICA AT ALL COST?

TRUMP SAYS THINGS AS THEY ARE. HE IS NOT A CAREER POLITICIAN WHO WOULD LIKE TO BE SEEN PUBLICLY AS POLITICALLY CORRECT.

AND, THIS IS WHY, AT THE END OF THE DAY, TRUMP WOULD ACTUALLY EMERGE THE MOST SUCCESSFUL PRESIDENT AND LEADER AMERICA HAS EVER HAD.
QUOTE ME!

ABOVE ALL, WHAT COMES OUT OF TRUMP'S MOUTH ARE EXACTLY WHAT MORE THAN 95% OF AMERICANS ALREADY HARBOUR IN MIND BUT WONT SAY IT PUBLICLY. A REASON HE WON THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION WHEN THE AMERICAN MEDIA POLITICAL CORRECTNESS EXPECTED HIM TO LOSE.

My dearest beloveth blessed lovely Nigerians.
Nigerians should build their own leadership schools and not oprah an american even though she has a West African ancestry

you know what i really like this guy trump because he wants everyone to be free from slavery.

The worst slavery is the slavery of mind. free your mind from the so called western style of life. #BEYOU

Is Africa and Nigeria in particular not a 'shithole'?

Good point mr Trump pls continue to tell them. Who can ague that African leaders are not shithole? And there people sufering and smiling. Perhaps people who has never visited other countries outside Africa other wise travel and see, when you come back you pick up a gun and kill all your leaders.

Sage • 6 years ago

Even though we believed we are shithole, it is not befitting of a President of the United State of America to open his shithole of a mouth and say it. We need to behave like human here. An outsider just called us shithole and some people here seem to be happy about that. Well, maybe those are the shitholes among us.

Sharia_Haram • 6 years ago

No big deal....are African countries not shit-holes? If not, why are they running away from their countries.......No one want to be in a shit-hole.....These shit-hole illegal immigrants should go back to their countries and stand up against their govt....not Trump......Is Nigeria not a Zoo? Yes, it is...Zoogeria! Trump is 100% right!

Collins • 6 years ago

Buhari travelled abroad to treat his ear infections his son is currently oversees treating his broken ribs. If Africa especially Nigeria isn't a "shithole" why wouldn't Buhari and his son be treated in Nigeria?. If Africa isnt a "shithole" why would Africans choose to die and be enslaved in Libya hoping to cross the Mediterranean sea to Europe? Until Africa leaders start living up to the expectation of the citizens towards developing a prosperous continent , Africa is and would remain a "shithole".

Nigeria is not only a shithole, she is more so a piss-hole and if I am not a civilised person, I would have added fcukhole to match! This is the first time I have agreed with Mr Trump since he came to power.

Ologunkutere • 6 years ago

PDT is absolutely spot on! African leaders have continuously raped the continent, with their families and friends with impunity. If they're not stealing, they are killing the masses/opposition; spoiling for war and taking their countries as their fiefdom. Nigeria, the agbaya nation is big for nothing and the biggest culprit. Once upon a time other African nations pleaded for our judges to help them, but now, our judiciary amongst everything else is a laughing stock. These selfish leaders are only interested in being richer and more powerful than the man next door, and this mindset has trickled down to the man on the street with the popularly known adage "I better pass my neighbour". So whether rich or poor, old or young a shit hole nation breeds maggots which will eventually turn into flies to further eat more shit, and the cycle continues. How do we break this chain and bring back the glory days? With the abundance of human and natural resources, Nigerians are now known as ;

Terrorists
Fraudsters
Coupists
Ritualists
Dogmatic
Anything for money
Religion for money
Religion for terror
Sexual predators (Weinstein will be saint in Nigeria)
419ers
Fantastically corrupt
Police brutality
Killing of citizens at any given opportunity
Lack of empathy
Money mongers
Rumour mongers
Kidnappers
Politics of public theft
Slaves in Libya
Prostitutes in different parts of the world
Religiously intolerant
Liers
All mouth, no action.
Deceivers

This is despite the decades of professional exposure on the global stage. What do we tell our children and future generations?

Dan' Arewa • 6 years ago
