America
is at a crossroads and in the next few weeks and months she will decide who
President Barack Obama will pass the baton of leadership to.
That
choice is critical because it will determine whether the self-styled "land
of the free and home of the brave" will, once again, be transformed into a
great and major power with the strength and immense moral authority that she
once enjoyed on the world stage or whether she will gradually lose her mystique
and prestige and recede into a divided, conflicted, pitiful, isolated, intellectually
weak, economically crippled, greatly diminished and morally bankrupt spent
force.
All
this in a world that is witnessing and experiencing the growing power and
strength of an increasingly assertive Russia and China.
There
is no gainsaying that the race for the White House this year is probably the
most important in recent times because the consequences of the choice that the
American people will eventually make will affect the entire world for either
good or bad. Needless to say the stakes are high.
Trump
is unstoppable. Despite all the opposition to him his time has come. He is like
a tornado: savage and powerful. He has done exceptionally well regardless of
the numerous conspiracies within the leadership of his own party to stop him
and regardless of the controversies that appear to trail him. I believe that he
will go on to give Secretary Hilary Clinton a damn good fight in the November
presidential election. If he wins the Presidential election against Hilary the
world will be a very different place. It will have implications for Nigeria
too.
If
anyone will expose why it was that Obama and Hilary refused to designate Boko
Haram a terrorist organization until mid-2014 after they had slaughtered well
over 50,000 Nigerians it is Trump.
If anyone will tell
us why Obama fought so hard behind the scenes to stop President Jonathan from
staying in power in Nigeria last year and why his administration assisted
President Buhari to come in, it is Trump. If anyone is ready to tell us the
bitter truth about Nigeria and her past and present leaders, it is Trump.
If
anyone really wants the yoke of our collective oppressors to be broken, the
total liberation of the various ethnic nationalities in our country, a level
playing field for all our people regardless of their faith, ethnicity or creed
and the enthronement of equity, justice and fairness in our affairs, it is
Trump. For example he is against same-sex marriage and he is strongly pro-life.
He also believes passionately in building up the American Armed Forces and
renewing their strength and glory and in the implementation of a strong and
virile foreign policy. He is the only American presidential candidate that has
publicly admitted that removing Sadam Hussein and Muammar Gadhafi from power in
Iraq and Libya respectively was a grave error which has led to nothing but
chaos.
Unlike
President Obama and Secretary Hilary Clinton and instead rather like President
Putin and the Russians, he recognizes evil for what it is and he is committed
to fighting Islamic fundamentalism and islamist terror with everything that he
has got.
He
is pro-Israel and he seems to understand the dangers that the anti-secularist
forces in the Middle East and the ethos and philosophy of the salifists and
wahhabists of Saudi Arabia pose to world peace far better than any other
American politician.
Most
important of all he is prepared to speak his mind and say what he believes
about any issue no matter whose ox is gored. With Trump what you see is what
you get.
That
is a rare quality among politicians from anywhere in the world and it ought to
be encouraged.
