Kenyan Gospel Singer Responds to US President Trump's "Shithole" Slur with a New Song

A Kenyan gospel singer has released a brand new song in response to US President Donald Trump's 'shithole' slur on African countries.

In a meeting to discuss immigration policy with lawmakers at White House last week, Trump is alleged to have questioned why America should continue to admit immigrants from 'shithole' countries, in reference to Africa nations, Haiti and El Salvador. His remarks elicited global outrage, with 54 African countries jointly demanding he retracts and apologizes.

Allano The Preacher, a gospel musician who hails from Githurai 45, Kiambu county has been inspired by Trump’s hate for Africa to release a brand new song titled ‘Holy Ghost’. In his song, Allano calls on citizens from "shithole" countries to seek Jesus, who will guarantee them tickets to heaven instead of scrambling to attain American citizenship.

“I got a ticket to heaven Trump wont stop me from flying…” a verse of his song reads.

Thanks Imara for that cos we Africans are always the last to receive the memo. Religion was invented by humans for control purpose. That does not mean there isn't a higher being. Africans need to come to full realization of this sooner the better and step away from the zombie state. By the way Imara why has your Kiswahili disappeared.

Oh Lordy, that's real creativity in action! Always thought Kenyans are best at bringing wit to every situation! Sent a copy to the Kenyan Embassy in US.

This is trivializing religious matters...there is no airline Iknow of that flies to a destination called "heaven".What are the geographical cordinates.Do you get a refund if you change your mind...
Agood song takes time to compose and produce.This is just an opportunistic "early bird"chasing the worm.

@Mugi, I felt that the readers were ignoring my messages written in Kiswahili. What do you think?

Ndugu@Mugi na @"..." Asanteni sana kwa kunipa maoni yenu juu ya kuandika kwa lugha yetu tukufu ya taifa ya Kiswahili. Nimeamua kufanya hivi. Mambo yetu ya ndani yanayowahusu Wakenya wote, nitaandika kwa Kiswahili. Mambo yanayoihusu sayari yetu tukufu (Planet Earth) au yanayoihusu dunian nzima, nitaandika kwa Kiingereza.

Nitafanya kama watu wa Wales (U.K.) wanavyofanya. Wanatumia lugha yao ya Kiwelshi kuwasiliana wao kwa wao na lugha ya Kiingereza kuwasiliana na watu wasio "Wawelshi."
