Let us shift political correctness to one side for a moment. I can hear people all over the world saying “what a nutter President Trumpt is?” and I can hear politicians “holier than thou” accusing President Trump for his disparaging remarks on African continent. Before you accuse President Donald Trump any further, I have asked this question over and over again about blackman and his lack of leadership and vision. President Trump say things the way he sees it. Is President Trump worse than those leaders of the world that suppress Africa militarily and economically? Truly truly, is Africa not a shithole? Truth is bitter. One must know the cause of his problem before he can solve it. Let us pause for a moment and tell ourselves the truth. Political correctness will lead Africa to no where. African leaders must admit that they are useless. African leaders must admit that they are corrupt. African leaders must admit that they lack initiatives. African leaders must admit that they are good in witch hunting. Africans individually are educated, elightened and skilful as other peoples of the world. However, they are let down by their political leaders. OAU (The Organisation for African Unity) is a talking shop. Toothless bulldog. African leaders are told what to do by the West. President Trump was disappointed by African leadership, and he spoke on behalf of the people. Do you want to kill him for saying the truth?
 
African countries, such as Nigeria is a disappointment to black nation. The only thing Nigeria has done very well is corruption. Nigerian leaders are not intelligent, as the only skill they possess is to suppress their people. Nigeria is tthe only country that people become multi-millionnaires by simply being in politics. The only country where the politicians are richer than others. Nigeria is the only country where investment is only made in politics ratther than in business. Nigeria is the only country where investment in politics is more lucrative than in business ventures. Nigeria is the only country where politicians boldly steal money without being prosecuted. Nigeria is tthe only country that has no plans for youth unemployment and social welfare. Nigeria is the only country where known thieves are in government. Having said all these, is Nigeria not a shithole? Nigeria has spent hundreds of billion of dollars on electricity and still in darkness. Nigeria has spent hundreds of billions of dollar on road construction without a single road that is good. Nigeria is the only country where the army shoot and kill its citizens as Python Dance. Nigeria is the only country where petty thieves are executed while politicians get away free by stealing billions of dollars. If this does not qualify Nigeria as shithole, please tell me what else will? Nigeria is a disgrace! No wonder the world sees it as fantastically corrupt.
 
Based on the above, Nigerian first republic politicians in their graves will not believe what is happening in Nigeria now. It is shameful! Having kept political correctness to one side, and having read this, is Nigeria not a shithole? Say the truth however bitter it may be. The solution to this shithole issue is that, those foreign leaders that criticise Nigerian leadership should help Nigeria to organise free and fair election come 2019, and without this, Nigeria will continue to be a shithole unless they are part of it. Affrica has leaders, however those leaders have not got enough resources to waste on politics. Besides, the corrupt politicians would not allow them to emerge from party primary elections. The most confusing thing to me is that, I wonder why the citizens of Nigeria and indeed, Africa cannot rise up against corruption. How on earth can Nigeria come out of this shithole? Thank you President Trump for bringing African corruption to the attention of the world. People should focus on the real issue of corruption in Africa and stop criticising President Trump. It is disgustting!
