Larry Madowo recently left the BBC to study at the prestigious Columbia University in New York on a journalism fellowship.

“This has been a dream job in every way and leaving it was one of the hardest decisions of my life. An exciting year in New York City awaits but saying goodbye is so hard! I’ll miss everyone terribly," Larry tweeted announcing his exit.

A few days after jetting into the United States, there was a mass shooting at a Walmart in El Paso that claimed 20 lives and another at Dayton, Ohio that claimed 9 lives.

In a tweet, Larry commented on the shocking incidences.

“I went to sleep on news of a mass shooting in El Paso. I woke up to news of a mass shooting in Dayton. This is only my first weekend living in these United States!” Larry commented in shock.

A tweet that earned her the wrath of some Americans who shouted that he should go back to his hell hole country.

“Hey, you don’t like it here you can leave,” read an angry tweet from a Trump supporter which was quickly followed by “You are a newcomer to America and you publicly say America is not safe despite the hell hole you are from. Get lost you, moron. Go home!”

In response to the angry tweet, Larry drily tweeted “I have received a warm welcome, evidently.”
