As America gears up for another epoch-making Presidential election, Christians all over Continental African are fervently praying for Donald Trump to emerge again President of United States of America.
We are often confronted with the obnoxious claim that Donald Trump represents the whirlwind of racism in America by some of our African-American and African immigrant kinsmen; but the same people forgot that in Africa we have the vilest form of ethnicity; the most atrocious Islamism; and the most brutal Xenophobia. We are also told that Donald Trump referred to African Presidents as assholes. But the question is, is President Bola Ahmed Tinubu of Nigeria not worse than an asshold? Was his predecessor President Muhammadu Buhari not a despicable asshole?
The question before us is between Barak Obama’s eight years’ presidency and Donald Trump’s four-year presidency which impacted Africa more positively than the other? While American Jews are busy working out how American foreign policy impacts positively on the world Jewry and the State of Israel, African-Americans and their African immigrants are dancing around naked supporting Democrats and their Presidents who never cared if Africa exists.
We prayed for a true African-American whose ancestors experienced what it meant to be a segregated and deprived African-American under the tortuous experience of slavery; those whose ancestors invented for us the true meaning and essence of Pan Africanism and whose ideas and labors created the true spirit of African nationalism that eventually midwifed our anti-colonial struggles. Instead we were given a Barack Hussein Obama–a first generation African-American who lacks the ancestral connectivity to the true African-American experience and spirit; one who has no nostalgic story to tell about his African-American root; and a man whose conception of African identity is as whitewashed as his understanding of core African moral values.
Under Obama’s Presidency many African nations were being forced to accept against their core moral values, the deplorable culture of homo-sexuality, and those African leaders who audaciously questioned his impudent Sodom and Gomorrah policy, like Nigeria’s President Goodluck Jonathan were sentenced to their political death. Nigeria and Libya have never been themselves since the time of President Obama. Under President Obama Black Africa was greeted with reckless Islamic insurgences through his subtle and covert alignment with Islamic Jihad. Christians all over the World were slaughtered everywhere by Muslim Jihadists without a single word of defence from President Obama. These were the predicaments African Christians and the World Christendom were facing when Donald Trump arrived at the political stage to remedy the fouled situation.
Donald Trump came with the spirit of John 8:32 and the boldness of Saint Paul of Tarsus. He did not say one thing and did another. He was a man of his words and his actions matched his words. We saw an America once turning towards Sodom and Gomorrah being returned back to God. We saw him threading where his predecessors feared to thread.
He stated that he would transfer American Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and he did as he stated. He threatened to ban certain Muslims from entering the United States of America and he did as he stated and that stopped the once reckless killings and bombings in United States by Muslim extremists. He opened up the flood-gates of unexpected peace between the State of Israel and the Arab world in such way none of his predecessors was not able to do. He promised to end ISIS and today that monster of Islam is gone. He promised to make America great again and most of us believe that America gained more respect as a Global Power under him than any of his recent predecessors and his present successor.
Africa and African Christians support Donald Trump and pray fervently for his victory in the coming Presidential election. We support him because he represents the core-values of Christianity which allies with African core-values.
