Two days after President Trump described African nations, along with Haiti and El Salvador, as “shithole countries” whose inhabitants were not desirable as immigrants to the United States, the president of Ghana called the language used by the American leader “extremely unfortunate” and said that his nation was not a “shithole country.”

Yes you and your African political leader friends have made Africa a ***barred word*** hole. Trump was right. Until you guys stop stealing, ***barred word*** and hauling Africa's minerals and cash to be hidden abroad, we shall continue to be in ***barred word*** hole. Trump knows very well how many African leaders have laundered money to Western banks hence it was easy for him to call it as it is. In the midst of abundant human and material resources , most African countries still struggle to come out of poverty, disease and illiteracy. The African Union is nothing but a photo shoppe full of hypocrite African leaders. From PNDC/NPP/NDC/NPP/NDC/NPP, the outcome is the same. Money laundering, ***barred word*** and sharing and buying houses abroad is the name of the game. Wake up Africa. Let us get rid of all these ***barred word*** Presidents and start afresh. Zimbabwe is taking the lead. Until we eradicate mass poverty, mass diseases, mass unemployment, mass illiteracy, Africa will remain a ***barred word*** hole.
Mr. President please stop making noise because the next movement you will be begging him for loans so he has every right to call you whatever name that pleases him. Ghana, a very small country which is not even the size of some states in the USA has been blessed with enormous resources yet her citizens live in abject poverty. I blame our journalist who often made the public to glorify these politicians as if they are the most humans in Ghana and in the process they still our money with impunity. How can a so called senior journalist who should be speaking for the people be defending every action of NDC and NPP as if they are their spokespersons. Mr. President we have no dignity as a nation the moment we cannot manage and develop our country with our God given natural resources but relied on foreign donors and borrowing for our development, the funds of which will even be stolen by you the politicians. If someone feeds you and he is fed up with you he has every right to tell you things you don't want to hear. We have no credibility as a nation due to the manner in which you politicians siphon money from the state coffers to the neglect of the very people who put you there and in turn subject them to hunger and deprive them from the basic things of life whiles you and your families enjoy life as if there is no tomorrow. How dare you call a politician in Ghana without prefixing his name honorable, meanwhile they the most dishonorable people living in our country.
