    As Melania Trump arrives in Africa for her big solo tour, we asked locals of the countries she plans to visit what they make of the First Lady. Here's the mood from Ghana, Kenya and Egypt. 🇬🇭🇰🇪🇪🇬pic.twitter.com/JMveSxRinJ

        Melania is a strong woman, she has gone through something that many married women cannot endure for even day. She inspires me to face challenges and overcome them.

        I wish she had or has Uganda on her list no matter the situation Women like Melania can be of inspiration to the young girls and maybe she will use the tour to know what girls in Africa go through

        What's inspiring about her? Totally nothing! She's just visiting as a tourist further she won't add any value to any African's life. What has she done for America? Nothing...so don't expect anything with Melania.

        I was referring to Lady Alice Ruhindi's reply not the BBC title . She sarcastically asked about what's the capital city of Africa .

        BBCAfrica need lessons in geography. Every other day I remind them that Africa is not a country. To add insult to injury they claim Melania is bringing fashion. I think it should be the other way. I recommend she buys agbada for Mr Trump.

        South Africa is no longer a destination to go to in Africa. Thugs everywhere.
