        Crude remarks? Is BBC Africa helping the African course at all? Is #shithole not a mild description of a country where herdsmen kill citizens to protect cows and the govt pays lip service? If Africa isn't a shithole why are it's youths drowning off the coast of Libya daily?

        Donald Trump speaks uncensored truths. Only the guilty get offended by him. I would think a racist will be proud to say he is one... Especially within his comfort zone. Don't change the narrative, Trump is not the problem. Africa is a shithole, let's fix it.

        saying that he wants people from countries like norway makes it racist, furthermore africans who go there are learned nurses, doctors and students.Yes, africa has issues, buy at least he could work with us like the Chinese instead of talking shit

        I would love us to damn every insinuations Trump had made or didn't make and focus our energy on dealing with the issues Africa has. For me, it's most meaningful and productive. That way, our nurses and doctors we are in dire need of won't be swimming/trekking overseas.

        But African governments have made their respective countries exactly that. Its a reality that we can't pretend to deny. They are exactly what @realdonaldtrump called them. S***holes. governments that take their citizenry for granted are just that. enough with the pretense.

        I whole-heartedly agree with you! Sometimes we need this kind of bitter truth as a motivation to do better. My beloved Uganda, about 50 years ago was at the same level with Malaysia, but will all our resources, we still lag behind due to corrupt leaders.

        Its complete lunacy for us to pretend that we are offended by these remarks. Everyday we are fighting to get on top of the s***hole and not sink in it. Its fine by me.

        #joysms africans govts are experts at mismanagemnt & misprioritization. The ppl of africa are mostly too weak to demand accountability. Also, it's not uncommon for ppl to put up with bad leadershp on tribal grounds.

        Trump may have been wrong saying that Africans are from shithole, but certainly not wrong with Nigeria. The life of a cow worth more than that of a human in Northern Nigeria. You see, Trump was right

        I don't care who Donald Trump is, the man is an imbecile. But to be honest, I do care about the steps our governments are going to take to get us out of that shithole. As much as we feel offended, there's truth in that statement.

        This clearly states that Trump is a liar, senator Dublin clearly said that he heard Trump repeating those words on more than one occasion, is there anything that Trump can use to convinces us. NO
