NIGERIA.

The largest black population in the world. A large Muslim population. A US ally, and one of the most important economies in Africa.

Trump's comments about African nations being sh*thole countries were not just words. He was foreshadowing actual policy direction.
So let me be clear on religion in Nigeria: The country is almost equally split between Christian and Muslim. In terms of US immigration, most Nigerians that come to the US are Christian.
Nigeria being added to Trump’s travel/immigration restriction list has nothing to do with religion, national security, or logic or sane foreign policy.

Remember when Trump said that once Nigerians see the US, they would “never go back to their huts”?

It’s about racism.
