The newly-elected president of the United States Donald Trump’s ideas on economy would affect Nigerian professionals positively, Ibrahim Garba, a Security Consultant, said on Wednesday in Abuja.

Garba said that the fact remained that Nigerians projected themselves in a bad light by not maintaining high standards as seen at international level.

According to him, there is need to change that perception about Nigeria in this new era, “and Trump will not say because you are a Nigerian, America will not do business with you”.

“This would affect Nigeria because things would be more competitive, Trump is a man who knows about your money, he does not throw money around.

“For you to do any business in America you have to be serious. From a business prospective if Nigerians know what they are bringing to the table and it is of value, Donald Trump would approve it.

“People who are capable of operating at very high level of professionalism have an opportunity because there won’t be room for mediocrity in America,’’ he said.

Garba said Trump won the election due to the fact that he is a successful businessman, a politician and as a government public servant.

Trump has pledged to be president for all Americans and would build up the country’s economy and relate with nations that were in support of rebuilding.

He said he would do this by seeking common grounds not hostility, partnership not conflict, and time for all people to come together as one united people.

This marks a significant escalation as the Houthis widen their involvement in the conflict beyond their typical operations within Yemen and neighboring Saudi Arabia. The Houthis’ Justification In their statement, the Houthis framed the attack as retaliation for Israel’s military actions in Gaza, which they characterized as indiscriminate bombings resultin...
