Congrats? Mr. President

Hey guys.
So it's been over 24 hours since I woke up to the news of Donald Trump being President-elect, a news which shocked Americans and vast majority of people around the world. I was filled with disappointment to say the least, and so I refrained from making any posts. 
But I'm fine now.

For this election, for most, it was difficult picking the better evil. Secretary Clinton is not so far from pointed fingers...she has her flaws, but I could reason with her. Trump, on the other hand I know has some good in him, but I'm far off from agreeance with a lot of remarks made during and before his campaign.

I won't delve into the character in question, but I can say this to my family, friends, and the people of America:

1. For my Nigerians, let it be known that Trump is not sending you back, especially if you're a citizen/permanent resident. Na only us waka come?
2. Do not resort to violence. What do you think you'd achieve? Nothing! I saw a disheartening video of African-American males beating up an older Caucasian male-  a Trump supporter who look scared for his life. No matter what was said or done, fighting evil with evil will not get you anywhere. Even with the protests going on everywhere- violent or peaceful, Trump is here to stay and we must face the sad reality.

3. This election should have taught a lot of you that, and supports the motion which says America is the land of opportunity; a land of the free. A man like Trump, who had no political background, said the nastiest of things, acclaimed his dislike/hate for certain groups...is the 45th president of this great country.

4. See this election (disappointment?) as a blessing in disguise. At least, as a Christian, this is how I'd look at it henceforth. Life must go on, and we can't wallow in anger, bitterness, and sadness. Put forth that energy into something beneficial for you and yours.

5. Last but not the least, pray. Pray for the new President. Pray for God's guidance to lead the people of America in the right direction; that war not erupt, that allies not be cut; and that things work in our favor.

In summary, give Trump a chance. If it's
