Nigerians on Wednesday took to social media to berate American
billionaire/businessman, Donald Trump, over his comments calling on
U.S. government to stop all flights from West African countries with
Ebola outbreak.
Trump also protested the return of two Americans, Dr Kent Brantly and
Nancy Writebol, to the United States where they are receiving
treatment for the deadly virus at Emory University Hospital.
Trump, who is worth $3.9 billion, tweeted on Friday (Aug. 1) "Stop the
EBOLA patients from entering the U.S.
"Treat them, at the highest level, over there. THE UNITED STATES HAS
ENOUGH PROBLEMS.
"The U.S. cannot allow EBOLA infected people back. People that go to
faraway places to help out are great - but must suffer the
consequences!"
In reaction, Cool FM On-Air-Personality (OAP), Ifedayo Olarinde
popularly called, Freeze, tweeted that Trump was very selfish.
Freeze also added that Trump's tweed just showed he was "a very
ignorant man, who has just highlighted his shortcomings; educate
yourself about West Africa. it's not all Ebola".
"Bill Gates who is worth 20 times more than you are spends his fortune
on Africa while u alienate us," he tweeted.
He also added that "DonaldTrump is worse than Hitler who planned to
use us Africans to test his weapons; Very insensitive old man.
Heartless!".
Freeze tweeted further: "if your son were coming in from West Africa
would you ask the U.S. government to stop flights from West Africa.''
However, a UK-Based Nigerian Comedian, Wale Gates, tweeted saying: "I
kinda agree with Donald Trump, every country should protect its own
first;
"Nigeria should have done it long ago. Its not time to be emotional.
"If the Nigerian government has decided not to protect its people
Goodluck to them. But every other country has a right to protect its
people from us."
