Popular social media critic, Daniel Regha, has shared his opinion on why U.S. President Donald Trump referred to Nigeria as a “disgraceful country.”
Recall that Trump, in a statement released on Saturday, warned that the United States would “immediately halt all aid and assistance” to Nigeria if the government failed to address the alleged genocide against Christians.
He further stated that the U.S. might consider intervening in Nigeria which he described as “that now disgraced country” to eliminate terrorists accused of carrying out religious persecution.
Reacting to Trump’s remarks, Regha, in a post on his official X (formerly Twitter) handle on Sunday, asserted that Nigeria’s “disgraced” state is a direct result of poor leadership across all regions of the country.
He added that corruption is widespread, cutting across every state and ethnic group.
“Nigeria is a “Disgraced country” today as a result of bad leadership from all regions. Corruption is found in every state and local govt; And all ethnicities are involved,” Regha wrote.
“From Hausa to Igbo to Yoruba to Urhobo, and others. Past administrations failed, and Tinubu’s administration is failing cos the leaders who are representing different tribes and constituencies aren’t speaking up.
“State govts are equally acting nonchalantly by not solving regional problems, but instead playing politics. Before u shift the blame, remember that the State House of Assembly has your people in there, and State governance is by indigene.”
