What does Trump really want?
We all know it not an issue about Christian killing, there is a sinister motive!
Before I progress let me state here that i believe there are killings in Nigeria both Christian and non Christians but majority of killings are ethnic and politically motivated.
Now what does Trump want and Tinubu denied him
1- Accepting US deportees ( third party deportee) these are non Nigerian including the vicious Venezuelan gangs and criminals from other countries. Tinubu said no. Nigeria is not a dumping ground we have our own problem.

2- Strategic deals on critical minerals:
They want the rare earth metal on Nigeria soils. Elon musk want to extract and ship to America but Tinubu said no, it must be processed in Nigeria. They have to set up factory in Nigeria. Elon left and the Chinese came in.

3- Military base in Nigeria: the Americans what a military base in Nigeria. Tinubu said no, we are a sovereign nation, no foreign military on our land.

4- BRICS : Tinubu soaring relationship with BRICS is giving Trump a sleepless night. Nigeria is forging new alliances with improving economic outlook

Trump actions so far
1- Visa policy change : Imposed tougher rules, 3month visa for most Nigerians. Because Ghana accepted this deportees, their visa rules was reversed.

2- imposition of Tariffs: although this measure is to other countries. Trump imposed a 10% tariff on Nigeria .

Final Punch: My Perspective
This is basically a coercive war. Trump couldn't get Tinubu to bow to his demand and has now resort to underground tactics.
This is not not about Christian killings, if it is
1- why offer Nigeria dangerous deportees in the first place.
2- Have Nigeria been offered intelligence and they refused?
3- is there any intelligence that shows the Tinubu has been complicit in the killings?
Some of what Trump is “pushing forr" is part of broader U.S. policy under his administration, to enrich America and make other nations subservient.
Tinubu is pushing back strongly, citing national interest, sovereignty, and internal challenges.
The recent 15% tariff imposition on imported petroleum is the straw that broke the carmels back. It makes it is making us self sufficient.
For Nigerians that does not know, the crime rate and killings in America far exceeds that of Nigeria, even in terms of corruption, it is "child's play" in Nigeria compared to America.
Trump knows that US army cannot step foot on a state in America despite the horrific killings on weekly basis. FBI report that 270- 300 murders are committed weekly in the United States, yet is he interested to step foot on Nigeria.
This is simply an economic war on Nigeria and all Nigerians should be discerning.

I must add, that senator Ted Cruz is a US senator that chairs the subcommittee on critical minerals! Yes the same person spearheading the narratives.

Tinubu have ordered Nigeria air defense to be on standby

Why is Lagos state government which was installed by Tinubu and his APC party, destroying Igbo properties in Lagos?

After all these your quack analysis, you still have to convince the Igbos to support Tinubu over Trump.

The fact is that Igbos will choose Trump. Tinubu and his Agbado gang have ensured there will not be a united Nigerian response to Trump.

It is at the particular time that Yorubas will understand that it was unwise to undermine Igbos over the past two years.

QED.

In the coming weeks, the truth will come out

You will need to provide answer to the question by giving us answers to why is Soludo and Mbah destroying Igbo properties even in their states? Just provide answers to that and you will get answers to yours

So were Soludo and Mbah destroying mainly Yoruba properties? This is an important question you need to answer before I answer yours. You also have to provide newspaper references where Yorubas in Enugu and Anambra were protesting their properties being destroyed.
