Donald probably wrote this after participating in a massacre at a voter-registration rally.
Donald probably, proudly wears the Mau Mau claw marks on both sides of his face.

MR. DOUGLAS ANELE
His facts are as wrong as his opinions.
The moment I saw 'Nigeria', this is immediately what I thought of as well.
razzmatazz??!!
Mau-mau were in Kenya.
Nigerians are nice folks, for the most part, but this chap is merely repeating what is fed by the international news outlets. Some of his reasoning is really pitiful: he thinks that the United States is the biggest and most powerful in the world, and therefore must be the greatest terrorist. Boy, isn't that brilliant!
The opinions of foreigners are heavily influenced by the transmission of news to them. Most of their news people read only the New York Times and similar organs.
It is lucky that we don't really rely on Nigeria except for a wee spot of oil now and then. Their opinion does not matter, and should not control us where our survival is at stake.
We think a lot alike Grandpa.
Bush has over 61million votes now.
Well, at least he admits his bias by the forth paragraph.
Usually, they tend to use the title of 'barrister'. Pretty impressive occupation coming from a nation where the national currency is based on firewood.
Has this man seen Saddam's mass graves?
I had a whole collection of them - I'm in IS so EVERYONE forwards theirs to me to find out what they should do about it. My personal favorite was the guy who came right out and admitted embezzling money, and asked for help to launder it.
Their national currency is based on firewood? That's news to me ... Need some Nigerian wood?
Bush uncritically believes that his vision for the world is the best and that God is on his side. He thinks that the best way to handle human affairs in this era of technologized society is to adopt obsolete tactics based on the false premise that "everything about me and my allies is good and noble, everything about my enemies is wicked and ignoble".
With us or against us. The hand was outstretched for all of the world to denounce terrorism (Islamofascism). It was spit on and mocked.
Meanwhile, "friendly" nations that urged caution on going to war against Iraq were bribed billions.
Only this author seems to be declaring black or white issues (good or bad). In his world, Saddam was "good". In his world, Bush is "bad". I'm glad that the world is more sophisticated than he sees it.
Nigerian Wood? Wasn't that a song?
I once had a girl,
Or should I say,
She once had me...
When you play it backwards, you can hear a voice repeating "Arafat is dead...Arafat is not dead..."
LOL!
