Tony Award-Winning Nigerian-British Actress Threatens Trump With Witchcraft: ‘You Are Not Safe’
Isn’t that special. She’s living in the US after fleeing Africa because of the genocides, rapes, mutilations, civil wars, and diseases. Now she is here to set America straight…
Tony Award-winning Nigerian-British actress Cynthia Erivo used her Verified Blue Check Mark Twitter account to post a threatening message to President Donald Trump on Friday, invoking ‘Juju, voodoo and magic’, warning Trump he is ‘not safe.’ The threat was made in response to alleged comments by Trump in an Oval Office meeting with lawmakers about immigration in which he referred to African nations as ‘s***hole countries’. Trump denies he used that word but acknowledges using ‘tough’ language.

Erivo used a few Pidgin words in her threat to Trump:

“I hope all the Africans in this world call on their ancestors. See you forgot. Juju, voodoo, magic. Don’t worry Donald, we are the wrong ones. You are not safe because you are on another continent. Biko do yourself a favor, take a break. Wahala de come for you oh.”

According to online dictionaries, ‘Wahala’ means troubles and ‘Biko’ means please.,
Erivo responded to her critics (many of whom were bothered by her use of Pidgin), claiming to be a believer in Jesus Christ and that she is a ‘Nigerian-Brit’ currently living in the U.S.
I’m actually a Nigerian Brit living in the USA. Research is key. https://t.co/tkPpFph75s
