America simply has no respect for other countries. It believes in what it calls "AMERICAN EXCEPTIONALISM". And were does that leave other countries? All countries affected by this so-called visa ban must unite to fight and hit back simultaneously and even harder to send a clear message to the coo coo president of that country that it is citizens of other countries that has made it what it is including my own in-law Dr. Trebi Ollennu. Their arrogance and pomposity is simply nauseating. Meanwhile Americans are some of the most ignorant people you can find anywhere on earth. My supervisor once asked me if we had push brooms or Water Closets in Africa. Another asked me whether you had to go to London before coming to America. Can you just imagine!

Here is some very recent COUNTRY -SPECIFC literacy rates in some randomly chosen countries for comparison. You are welcome to check these figures for yourself.
NIGERIA: Nigeria's adult literacy rate is around 70%, with recent figures from late 2024/early 2025 placing it at approximately 70.4%, though data varies slightly by source and year, with 2021 showing about 63%. Significant disparities exist, with lower rates in rural areas, among females, and particularly in conflict-affected northern regions like Yobe, highlighting deep educational challenges despite gradual overall improvements
USA. literacy rate for adults hovers around 79-80%, meaning about 1 in 5 adults struggle with basic reading tasks, often reading below a 6th-grade level, with millions facing significant challenges, according to recent data from the NCES and National Literacy Institute”.
GHANA: Ghana's literacy rate is improving, with recent data showing overall rates around 80-84% (2020-2022) for those 15+, while the youth literacy (ages 15-24) is even higher, nearing 86% (2022)
BRAZIL: Brazil’s adult literacy rate was 94.69% in 2022, the latest official census data available, which reflects an ongoing upward trend. Newer estimates for 2024 place the rate slightly higher at around 94.8%.
CHINA: China's 2020 adult literacy rate was 97%, reflecting major educational progress from previous decades.
VIETNAM boasts a very high literacy rate, with recent data from 2022 showing 96% for adults (ages 15+), and even higher for youth (15-24), where both males and females achieved nearly 99% literacy.
UK: 99%: The general adult literacy rate for people aged 15 and above, a figure sustained by universal state education. This standard typically measures the basic ability to read and write a simple sentence.
CUBA has an extremely high literacy rate, hovering near 100%, with recent figures from 2021 showing it at 99.7% or 99.8%, a testament to the success of its post-revolution national literacy campaigns that made education free and accessible, placing it among the world's most literate nations.
Saudi Arabia boasts a very high literacy rate, nearing 98% for adults (15+) around 2020-2024, with near-universal literacy for young adults (15-24), showing remarkable progress from lower rates in the 1990s, achieving near 100% male literacy and high female literacy, supported by strong education spending and high school enrollment, notes Global economy, Macrotrends, World Population Review, World Bank Group, and Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

It has no respect for its own citizens. The president is a bully. He's a horrible man. Congress does nothing to stop him and the Supreme Court gives him more power to crush his perceived enemies and rivals. No one is truly safe from him. He is a dangerous man. He is greedy and power hungry. He has a insatiable appetite for money and power. He violates our laws and is permitted to do so. No one is truly safe.

Stop dreaming, Frankie. Our countries are being recolonised. We now have an American military base in Accra. Trump decided to bomb Nigeria and the Nigerian government had no choice but to obey. All of these because our governments are corrupt and coward. Soon, Natanyahu (alias satanyahu) will decide to displace Palestinians here. Hopefully the Sahel countries will continue to resist

What do you expect if you have a moron, a convicted felon, a narcissistic and money-loving criminal, and a crooked, power-loving bastard as president, who does not care about his citizens' welfare but only himself? He has successfully sold Ukraine and divided European unity to please his friend and sponsor, Putin, given a substantial part of Asia to China, and has an agenda to occupy all of Latin America and the Caribbean. He has left the Continent of Africa for free fall scramble and occupation, including his beloved criminal Netanyahu, to deport Gazans and Palestinians to Somalia. A New World Order is in the making!
Will the Union be the same United States of America when this stupid criminal leaves power in 3 years to come? Most of the powerful States, such as California, Texas, etc., would like to break away and manage their own affairs to avoid the election of such a moron to govern them.

We are fed up with this so called America. A country of leeches. A country that survives on stealing, killing and destruction of other countries. All their wealth is stolen from other countries that they managed to destabilize. All their visitors, NGOs and their other organizations doing business in other countries are spies anyway. All countries, should ban American citizens in retaliation and let's see who will lose. Nonsense!!!

I live in the US and you're right. Not all Americans act like or agree with the government and their tactics. Unfortunately we have a president who is a greedy racist pig who acts more like an authoritarian than a president. While some Americans applaud and cheer the president, many don't. Many of us are horrified and appalled. We condemn his actions and the lack of action by Congress. We are sickened by the ruling of the Supreme Court that allows the president to commit such atrocities. People should not come here unless they are white, wealthy and they are willing to show public displays of loyalty to the president. This is a dangerous country run by dangerous people. I wish I could afford to leave.
