Open letter to President Donald Trump —Ambassador Wanle Akinboboye

The world’s population is estimated at 7.8 billion people which are consuming resources at a rate akin to that of 21 billion people.

In order to satisfy these unlimited human needs and wants that have expanded beyond human comprehension, every inch of the planet must be cultivated.

China controls and is harnessing the resources of 9.597 million square kilometers of area with a population of 1.4 billion people. The United States of America, perceived as the father of the modern world, the champion of democratic values, and defender of liberty, equity and justice, is occupying 9.834 million square km of area with only 318 million people.

What the U.S.A needs to build is a bridge connecting her to the world for our mutual benefit, not a wall separating her from the world to promote our disconnection. There are more good people in the world that will transfer great benefits on a bridge than unwanted people that warrant a wall.

The U.S. needs more bodies to cultivate and realize the full potential (through labor, competition, and the exchange of ideas), of the 9.834 million square kilometers of area for the greater good of Humanity and the prosperity of the collective U.S.A.

As a world leader, I urge you to make decisions that will make the world a better place as a whole to the mutual long term benefit of all mankind.

To make America great again, true greatness lies not in the ability to succeed alone but in the ability to empower others whilst growing and excelling oneself.

I rest my case.

Otunba (Dr.) Wanle Akinboboye, President, Lacampagne Tropicana Beach Resort, Ikegun Village, Ibeju-Lekki, Lagos.
