US PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION: WHY I WON’T SUPPORT KAMALA HARRIS
The state visit is why I will never support Kamala Harris. Goodluck Jonathan secured a $1.1 Billion low-interest loan to develop infrastructure (from President Xi Jinping of China). This was the fire that started it all.
Barrack Obama felt really rattled after this trip.
Chibok Girls Kidnapping, & a global BBOG Campaign was the result. Led by the Obamas’ themselves, David Axelrod was in Nigeria to lead a global campaign for GEJ’s ouster.
Barrack Obama’s Secretary of State, John Kerry, interfered directly with the 2015 General Election in Nigeria (by holding private talks with the then Opposition candidate, Buhari).
We could argue that the APC (led by Bola Tinubu, outsmarted Goodluck Jonathan). However, David Axelrod ran the entire campaign in 2015 from behind the scene.
Nigeria is, or was a Sovereign nation. Therefore one cannot just sweep the international interference under the carpet. John Kerry was in Nigeria to visit President Jonathan, but somehow, he ended up meeting with Buhari.
The rest they say, is History.
Obama is the devil himself. At the peak of 2014, he had already caused havoc in at least 5 different countries, including my native Nigeria.
Libya & Nigeria never recovered from the turmoil of his Era. Today, My Nigeria belongs to various terrorist enclaves. His public façade & spectacle conceal his true nature. Many are deceived, but not me. His Diabolic Crusade will never go unforgotten. I am telling this tiny bit of History so that young Nigerians will remember.
That said, I won’t vote for Donald Trump either.
I don’t support his anti-immigration harsh rhetorics. U.S Nationalism & extreme Far-Right Movement is at odds with moving forward. I find those extreme. America was built by Immigrants escaping persecution & harsh realities around the world. Diversity was one the dream of its Founding Fathers.
The tablet held by Lady Liberty on her left hand is inscribed “JULY IV MDCCLXXVI.” It marked the birth of American Democracy; asserting its founding principles of:
- The fundamental right to life, liberty, & the pursuit of happiness. 2. The commitment to freedom, democracy, & equal rights for all.
It was 137 years ago when The Statue of Liberty was dedicated. “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”
Emma Lazarus taught me that, & it’s a poem I’ll never forget. The “New Colossus” is the sonnet on the pedestal of The Statue Of Liberty, & it’s a poem so dear to my heart. It acknowledged the many hardships & struggles experienced by immigrants in New York in the late 1800s.
It speaks to the fact that the United States is a beacon of hope, freedom & opportunity for those seeking a new life. That statue is the welcoming symbol into America, it stands superimposing till this day; a reminder that American ideals was shaped by the nation’s history & its identity, embodied by immigrants.
There is no America without Diversity. Hence, Emma Lazarus described those immigrants as “huddled masses yearning to breathe free.”
Now you know my reason for saying NO to Trump. Kamala & Trump are different side of the same coin. For me, both are a constant reminder of Nigeria’s checkered past.
Donald Trump was the POTUS when young Nigerians were massacred at the Lekki Tollgate in Lagos Nigeria; was he not? That unfortunate event happened on 10 October, 2020.
The Nigeria Army massacred young defenseless Nigerians waving the Nigeria Flag. Many were left in a pool of their own blood, & Trump did nothing! He did however added salt to injury (by supplying the Super Tucano Attack Helicopters to the Nigerian Brutish Regime led by the cold-blooded tyrant called Buhari).
So I have grudges for both end of the spectrum.
My candidate didn’t get the Republican Nomination. Any vestige of the Obamas’ is a no for me. I keep political grudges when lives are involved, & I don’t forget. November 5 is Retribution, & I have my reasons.
Not voting is a type of protest as well.
