Well-known social media commentator, Daniel Regha, has offered insights into why US President Donald Trump referred to Nigeria as a “disgraceful country.”
DAILY POST recalls that Trump issued a statement on Saturday, warning that if the Nigerian government does not address the alleged genocide against Christians, the US would “immediately halt all aid and assistance to the West African nation.”
The US leader also cautioned that his country might take action in Nigeria, which he branded as “that now disgraced country,” to eliminate the terrorists accused of carrying out religious persecution.
In response, Regha took to his official X account on Sunday, asserting that Nigeria has become a “disgraced country” due to inadequate leadership across all regions.
He stated that corruption permeates every state, involving all ethnic groups.
“Nigeria is a 'Disgraced country' today as a result of poor leadership from all regions. Corruption is present in every state and local government; and all ethnic groups are involved,” Regha expressed.
“From Hausa to Igbo to Yoruba to Urhobo, and others. Previous administrations have failed, and Tinubu’s administration is also faltering because the leaders representing different tribes and constituencies are not voicing their concerns.”
“State governments are similarly acting indifferently by neglecting to address regional issues, instead opting to play politics. Before you assign blame, remember that the State House of Assembly includes your representatives, and state governance is managed by the locals.”
