44. Why Trump (would have) won in Nigeria -- aka Tropical Trumpism
Manage episode 450732005 series 3607512
We explore the widespread support for the Republican president elect among Nigerians (men, yes, but also women). We discuss possible reasons for his popularity in parts of the developing world, assessing whether or not there is a meaningful economic self interest expressed in Tropical Trumpism. We probe assumptions and projections about his administration with relation to foreign policy, trade relations and regional cooperation.
Are there defining features that may split the Nigerian commentariat into the Democrat and Republican camps? What alliances might exist between the Nigerian political parties and the North American ones? Can Trump's popularity in Nigeria be chalked down to social conservatism? Is it simply a case of a people successfully propagandized? Let us know what you think.
