According to new reports, American president, Donald Trump has been branded shameful racist after it was credibly reported he had described African nations, as well as Haiti and El Salvador as “shitholes” during a meeting with lawmakers on Thursday, and questioned why so many of their citizens had ever been permitted to enter America.

“Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?” Trump said, after being presented with a proposal to restore protections for immigrants from those countries as part of a bipartisan immigration deal. The Washington Post reported the remarks citing aides briefed on the meeting.

Trump demanded to know why the US would accept immigrants from these countries rather than places like Norway, whose prime minister he had met the day before.

In a strongly-worded statement, the UN said it was impossible to describe his remarks as anything other than racist, while the Vatican decried Trump’s words as “particularly harsh and offensive”.

The African Union said it was alarmed by Trump’s language. “Given the historical reality of how many Africans arrived in the United States as slaves, this statement flies in the face of all accepted behaviour and practice,” its spokeswoman Ebba Kalondo told Associated Press.

The bitter truth is that we are a "shithole" country, with a "shithole" govt. and a "shithole" President. It is left for us to clean up our shit, wash our arse, flush Buhari down the toilet, open the windows, get rid of the stench and make Nigeria a cleaner and better place.

I don’t understand why Nigerians are angry at Trump.

Is Nigeria not a shithole?

I don't know why people like deceiving themselves and sugarcoating things. Is Nigeria not a shithole country? Answer truthfully in your mind.

I honestly dunno why people are angry with Trump. That he called African countries shithole? Let's take Nigeria as an example 347 men women & children were shot by Buhari's Army. Today he is seeking a 2nd term.

In Zimbabwe people queue for days to get enough money to buy bread

Was it only Nigeria that DT called a shithole, or we're taking it more personal than everyone?

Note to the Nigerian Diaspora: Learn to proudly say, "Nigeria is a #shithole – but we want to fix it".

Because those of us who live in Nigeria are not going to pretend we have running water or good roads – and we have access to social media.
