In Nigeria, ‘Shekpe’ is any hot drink or local gin that can be consumed.
The ‘OBO’ crooner’s comment comes against the back drop of the heated controversies trailing Trump’s inspired attack on Iran, which led to the death of Qasem Soleimani, a top military commander in Iran.
It also comes about the same time when Cardi B, American rapper and TV personality, had announced that she could move to Nigeria.
She had also tackled Trump for endangering the lives of many with his action.
“Naaaaa these memes are fuckin. But shit ain’t no joke! Specially being from New York,” she had written on Twitter.
“‘Its sad this man is putting Americans live in danger. Dumbest move Trump did till date. ‘I’m filing for my Nigerian citizenship.”
In February 2019, the male-only military draftregistry was ruled to be unconstitutional by a federal district judge in National Coalition for Men v. Selective Service System. … And at this time, until we receive guidance from either the court or from Congress, women are not required to register for Selective Service.”
