The clear message from Trump: A call for accountability and change in Nigeria
DDM News

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has delivered a clear and firm message to Nigerians, urging them to stop relying on foreign nations and take action within their own country.
In a bold statement made available to Diaspora digital media (DDM), Trump emphasized that Nigerians need to stop wandering the streets of America and return to their homeland to hold their corrupt leaders accountable.
He pointed out that if the people of America had not risen against their own oppressive conditions, the nation would not have achieved its current stature as a global superpower.
Similarly, Trump called on Nigerians to rise up against the entrenched corruption and governance failures that continue to plague the country.
Trump’s message draws historical parallels to the French Revolution of 1775.
He suggested that had the French people remained silent and not fought for change, France would not have become the developed nation it is today.
He reminded Nigerians that their country, like many others, has rich potential, but this potential is often undermined by the corrupt elite who fail to serve the people’s interests.
Trump urged Nigerians to stop playing tribal politics and address the systemic issues that contribute to their national suffering.
Trump’s words also extend to Nigeria’s healthcare system.
He criticized the reliance on the World Health Organization (WHO) for subsidized drugs, claiming that at this stage of Nigeria’s development, the country should be self-sufficient in providing affordable, local healthcare solutions.
Trump pointed out that while Nigerians depend on international organizations for basic healthcare, their leaders routinely travel abroad, particularly to the U.S., for medical treatment, draining national resources.
He underscored the hypocrisy of a ruling class that has not invested in domestic healthcare but continues to take advantage of foreign medical services.
Furthermore, Trump’s call for change was blunt regarding the continued migration of Nigerians to the United States.
He warned Nigerians to stop seeking refuge in America by sending pregnant women to give birth on American soil, thus acquiring automatic U.S. citizenship for their children.
In a sharp rebuke, Trump made it clear that such practices would no longer be tolerated, emphasizing that America belongs to Americans and not to foreigners who seek a better life by exploiting U.S. immigration policies.
The former president’s message also touched on the failure of Nigeria’s ruling elite to address critical infrastructure problems such as bad roads, despite the immense wealth at their disposal.
He argued that it is the Nigerian people who must demand change from their leaders, not wait for external forces or divine intervention to solve their problems.
Trump suggested that Nigerians, rather than remaining passive, should rise up, similar to how the French fought for their liberty and advancement.
Trump’s call for Nigerians to take charge of their future resonated with his broader political message during his presidency, where he consistently advocated for American sovereignty and a more assertive stance in foreign policy.
He highlighted the importance of nations standing up for their interests, and this message was consistent with his administration’s stance on issues such as immigration, international trade, and national security.
In his remarks, Trump also pointed to the necessity of having an accurate population index, comparing the situation in Nigeria to even the most extreme conditions, where there is always an official record.
He pointed out that the lack of proper data and accountability is a major hindrance to effective governance in Nigeria.
Without such basic structures in place, development becomes nearly impossible, and corruption thrives unchecked.
Trump concluded by urging Nigerians to return home, reject the status quo, and take responsibility for transforming their country into a nation that reflects its potential.
His message was clear: Nigerians must stop seeking solutions abroad, take control of their nation’s future, and hold their leaders accountable for the systemic issues plaguing the country.
In summary, Trump’s statement is not just a critique of Nigeria’s political and social conditions, but also a call to action.
He advocates for a revolution of sorts — not in the literal sense of violence, but in the sense of a collective effort to rebuild Nigeria from the ground up.
Trump’s words are a challenge to the Nigerian people: to stop running to America for refuge, to stop accepting corruption, and to actively participate in shaping a future that is just, equitable, and prosperous.
