Forget the rhetorics of President Trump those are just him looking to palatable excuses. Here are the major reasons Trump is coming for Nigeria with the US Military:

1. Mineral Resources
Nigeria has always been trading freely with the United States where they have certain financial obligations in trade deals with Nigeria. But a military invasion will grant them access to Nigeria's vast mineral resources for free.

2. Regime Change
President Bola Tinubu in all considerations has shown he can play the game within and globally. Choosing more to mind his own business. While Nigeria is not unnecessarily confronting the Americans, we are not a puppet either and this does not sit well with the Trump administration. And with 2027 almost locked in for Tinubu, Trump is uneasy. They want a Stooge.

3. Dominating Africa
First it was South Africa, that didn't work. If Trump can crush Nigeria and get away with it, other African countries will easily and helplessly fall in line and sign up to whatever the Americans will propose.

4. Divide to Conquer
The Trump administration knows they can't succeed in United Nigeria. So the strategy is to fan divisive sentiments where a sizable portion of the Nigerian population will not only remain docile but may even aid the invaders.

Crude prices globally are not determined by government, government should equally not determine how and whom he sells her products to ? Is there any implication if the government sells below the benchmark to her citizens ? You guys should stop defending nonsense.


Government can sell to her citizens as the deem fit for he benefit of here citizens with regards to the fact that the war isn't happening here. Then profit from the war happening miles away by selling to the international community at price determined by global events

The same kind of claim was made by oil importers for subsidy that were deemed to be false. They had to settle for approved audit payment.
This same kind of subsidy claim is being perpetuated by the Gencos. However, the Gencos feel they can harass the government because there are limited alternatives.
If electricity would be guaranteed after payment of 6 trillion then we can support them. However, even after the 6 trillion, they will still be leaving us darkness. So whats the use?

The protest then was sponsored by the man who is now the president now . Most of the celebs who joined the protests then was paid by this same man ruling now . Most protest you see are been sponsored by some powerful people ,no one want to protest now cos no one to sponsor it .

With all our intellectuals, we're still not wise. We're like poor kids that they flatter with nonsense slogans like "naija nor dey carry last and naija jollof" and our leaders smile sheepishly because a white man is using our slogan.

Anyone that wants to listen should listen and face reality. Nothing will ever come out of the black race, except the world is wiped out and creation starts again from the scratch.

That christian percecution narration, It took me good 2 days before responding to any of the topic. We are talking about USA and Trump in particular making allegations.

I had to pay attention to the arguments from the opposition supporters before drafting just 3 questions from their epistle which they cook answer till today.

The rest is a story not just with Nigerians expectations but globally.

Check where USA have shown interest in any of their sectors and see their tactics.

Just some months ago, Namibia rejected $1bn health aids from USA because of the conditions. USA want to have access to some natural resources in the country and secondly, they want to have the record of their citizens health database.

Imagine condition for helping

What exactly can Tinubu tell Nigerians that he has achieved since he became the president? Nothing.

PulaPower:
If Peter Obi is an opposition, he will never have found himself in a Party where Malami is the main sponsor, in a Party where El-Rufai is a member, in a Party where the people he referred to some three years ago as "structure of criminality", he will not find himself there but he was never an opposition. Peter Obi is a guy who came, packaged himself and lied to you and made all of you fall, you all should be apologizing to some of us who already told you since 2022 when Peter Obi came to the horizon that he was fooling you

The Bad Omen has never been a reliable man..
