Dear Trump, are these what you refer to as “huts” in Nigeria?

U.S. President Donald Trump

The President of the United States of America, Donald Trump recently faced heavy backlash for some allegedly ill-informed statements he made about Nigeria and Haiti during an immigration meeting. According to the New York Times, Trump said all Haitians have AIDS and Nigerian immigrants would never “go back to their huts” in Africa.

Well, Mr. Trump, just in case you didn’t know or you haven’t been to the motherland before (being ironic) or your “alleged” comments were based on what you see on TV (which is mostly the negative stuff), Africa is not synonymous with poverty and not all Nigerians live in huts.

Glance through these photos of some very fancy properties in Nigeria and judge for yourself.
