THE NEW AMERICAN AGGRESSION TOWARDS NIGERIA BY DR AUSTIN ORETTE

No Nigerian should lose sleep over the threats of Donald Trump. Nigeria is an independent Nation and not a vassal state of America. America is not concerned about Christians. Donald Trump is concerned about raw materials and white Supremacy.

This is the man who dragged white South Africans to the United States to protect them from a nonexistent “white genocide “, which he fomented in his hallucinations.

Why does he suddenly care about black people now? While he was importing white South Africans, he was deporting Haitians. He accused Haiti of eating American cats and dogs.

Donald Trump is late on this. He has never been a friend of black people.

Where was America when Liberia and Sierra Leone were on Fire? America slept while their relatives were on fire. The people of Liberia were descendants of American slaves. The Capital is named after the United States President, James Monroe. Due to racism, America wants nothing to do with Liberia.

Am I supposed to believe that America just saw Jesus in Nigeria? No. They saw raw materials that will fuel the new technologies and don’t like Nigeria being independent to manage our own affairs.

When Elon Musk was turned down and the Chinese having a leeway in Nigeria, it was time for Washington to exert its might. Donald Trump did not take kindly to the rejection of an invitation to a group of African leaders. It was in that meeting that this white supremacist, asked the President of Liberia where he learnt to speak such good English. I was waiting for him to ask the next question. “Who is the tailor who made your fine clothing? Is he in New York?

He moved on to the South African President with pictures taken in other countries suggesting white genocide. This area is his expertise. It was difficult to convince him to the contrary. The next day, he signed an executive order granting amnesty to white South Africans to flee to the United States.

Trump has no relationship with the truth. Most of the videos he is using to prove his lies were taken more than 10 years ago . The places where he is claiming that Christians are being tortured happen to coincide with the real estate that Elon Musk is interested in.

America has always been a racist Nation. Anti-Black racism is their staple. Nigeria is the leader of the black world. One out of every five black persons in the world is a Nigerian. More than 80 percent of black Americans trace their ancestry to Nigeria. This is the equation Donald Trump and other white supremacist have in their head. America could not do much to get involved during the Biafra war because they had Vietnam on their hands. With massive campaign donations from crisis actors in the east of Nigeria who have populated the Christian Council of Nigeria, they have raced to the past to get pictures that will justify their mission to steal Nigerian raw materials at gunpoint. This is where we as Nigerians must say no to the threat from America.

America is not the judge and jury of the World. Left to America, slavery and apartheid will still be with us.

We must stand by President Bola Tinubu at this time of crisis that has been fomented by ethnic separatists in Nigeria. We are a sovereign Nation and we should not be bullied by a world power that has no respect for international norms. Our president should not make any hurried visit to the United States to see President Trump. He can send the Vice President and Foreign affairs Minister to brief the Senate and Members of the Congress about the clear picture in Nigeria. They should also see members of the black congressional caucus to explain the facts which are clearer than the lies of Mr. Trump. During this mission, they can schedule a meeting with Donald Trump in another independent country. If Tinubu goes to Washington now, they will find a way to humiliate him by making him to see the vice president who will treat him nonchalantly. The black world will not like to see that kind of photo ops.

No country has ever developed from American intervention. Those thinking America will violate Nigerian Sovereignty will be in for a rude shock.
