        Africa expects nothing progressive from Trump. He doesn't even like African-Americans, how much more of us here?

        Regardless, isn't it time Africa stood firm & handled its affairs on its own, the problem we put someone else to help!

        It is an opportunity for Africa to grow. Because, if we equally acted in the same pattern as Americans, we shall come out great
