1. Since Trump became President, Americans have not allowed the rest of the world hear word.
2. Everyday one palaver after another.
3. Are they the first?
4. Today they say he wants to ban everybody.
5. Tomorrow, it’s that he wants to use his office to make money.
6. So are they too good to manage corruption and incompetence?
7. The rest of us around the world doing it, do we have two heads?
8. Then they started complaining that Russia interfered in their election.
9. But hasn’t America been interfering in all the elections in the third world since 19whatever?
10. Did we die?
11. Okay many people died, but we are still here!
12. But wait, did they not vote for the Trump man?
13. So what’s all this crying and shouting?
14. This is all of us, laughing at the fact the we don’t have the monopoly on bad and nonsense leadership.
15. Welcome to the club, America!
The shocking results of the US elections has sparked several conversations all over the world which would’ve been incomplete without our very own Chimamanda’s voice.
In an interview with BBC, Chimamanda schooled Emmett Tyrrell Jr, founder and editor of The American Spectator, who blatantly refused to acknowledge Donald Trump’s racist comments during his electoral campaign.
She basically said, a white person cannot define what racism stands for- which is only right, considering that fact that racism in America was created and perpetuated by white people.
But Nigerians are just angry about her statement sha.
For the people that still don’t understand, maybe this little lesson on racism will help sha. Don’t forget to share your thoughts in the comments section.
In the heat of the just-concluded US elections, controversial Nigerian pastor, TB Joshua, claimed to see a

In case you just got back from Mars, the USA Presidential Debates kicked off at New York’s Hofstra University yesterday, and it was one tense moment! Republican candidate Donald Trump, who is widely known for his aggressive approach towards well, everything, was on the attack against Hilary Clinton, the Democratic candidate. Polls show Clinton is currently ahead of Trump, and financial markets are cheering her for the victory. Nigerians even stayed up to watch the show, and apparently, a few people took notes.
1. First of all, we are very surprised Nigerians actually stayed up to watch the debate.
Nigerians really up at 3am watching US presidential debate.
If you don’t know who Donald Trump is, we have no words for you. For those who do, you must be aware of all the controversy the U.S Republican presidential candidate has steered in the course of the elections campaign. His disturbing and unconventional suggestions in dealing with Islamic terrorism and the Migrant crisis facing 1st world countries have earned him biting criticism worldwide.
These reactions to the billionaire businessman are more than hilarious.
1. Little Miss Flint, Amariyanna ‘Mari’ Copeny met with President Obama in May, after penning a viral letter to him about the contamination of water sources in Flint, a city in Michigan.
2. But look at Mari’s reaction when she met Donald Trump, who visited Flint as part of his campaign tour.
3. Americans hilariously summed up Mari’s reactions on twitter, and of course dragged Donald Trump too.
4. It appears it’s not only Democrats and Little Miss Flint that are scared of Trump, this eagle he used as a prop for an interview seems to want a piece of him too.
5. But just look at calmly President Obama handled this photo session with another bald eagle.
6. Even these babies could not seem to stand Trump, while he held them for photo ops at the republican rally in Colorado.
7. But see our Uncle Barack here handling another set of babies like a PRO!
8. Still wondering why people just don’t like Trump? Check out when he didn’t care about the lady beside him, versus Obama who braved the rain and left the umbrella for First Lady Michel.
If you’re Nigerian, and you don’t live under a rock then you are most likely aware of the Nigerian government’s poor treatment of Nigerian athletes. It was actually quite surprising that our U-23 team was able to bag a bronze at the Rio Olympics. Considering that, it’s no wonder these athletes of Nigerian descent did not represent the country.

Everybody — well most people — knows that Donald Trump is bad news. And though he wasn’t taken seriously when he decided to run for president, the whole world is watching his campaign trails and rallies and debates with morbid fascination.
He is anti-Muslim, anti-Black, anti-Latinos. In fact, he is anti-everything!
The man is so dangerous that the possibility of his winning the U.S. presidential election is as big a threat to the global economy as Islamist terrorism, according to Global Forecasting Service.
He’s against what America stands for, a country built with the sweat of immigrants.

And he offers to pay for their legal fees.
So it wasn’t surprising when this happened at his rally recently. But it hit close to home, because it happened to one of us. A Nigerian.
Adedayo Adeniyi, a 20-year-old student at East Carolina University, attended Donald Trump’s rally in Fayetteville, North Carolina. out of curiosity.
But he was randomly targeted and thrown out of the event by police, because he’s Black!
The shocker happened as he was being escorted out of the event.
A middle aged white man, looked him directly in the face and said, “F you” three times, right before slapping Adedayo hard in the face! This happened while he was being bundled out like a bag of beans.
The gall. The effrontery.
These are scary times, if this is happening in his rally, imagine what will happen if this man actually becomes president! That is enough to give anybody nightmares.
We really hope that this man doesn’t become president, because if he does, this quote perfectly captures what will happen.
We’re also sure that the population of people living in the African continent will definitely increase.
