Popular American economist and former Harvard Professor, Jeffrey Sachs has weighed in on why Donald Trump is threatening Nigeria with military invasion. He broke down all the issues causing diplomatic tension between Washington and Abuja in a 30 minute video he posted on YouTube.

We are yet to see the evidence of the alleged US troops in Nigeria

Very insightful analysis by the America professor. He didn’t even bother to dwell on the alleged Christian genocide because he knows that is not why Trump is after Nigeria.

The threat is not to actually send in troops but to force Nigeria to dance to Washington’s tune. Listen to the video and you will understand.

Prof. Sachs is a highly respected intellectual and economist. I look forward to hearing the views of others on his perspectives.

Listen to the damn video. Trump doesn’t care about Nigerian Christians or Muslims. He’s simply using the insecurity as a pretense to blackmail FG into accepting some of the request America is making.

Nigeria Strikes Back Very Hard Against Trump

Professor Jeffrey Sachs delivers a critical analysis of escalating U.S.-Nigeria tensions following President Trump's threatening statements about potential military action. This urgent geopolitical breakdown examines how aggressive rhetoric transforms international diplomacy and threatens African sovereignty. Sachs explores the dangerous precedent of using military threats against sovereign nations, the role of natural resources in foreign policy decisions, and the broader implications for global stability. Discover the historical context of U.S.-Africa relations, the economic motivations behind interventionist policies, and why this confrontation matters for international law and peace. A must-watch for understanding contemporary power politics, diplomatic crises, and the future of multilateralism in an increasingly volatile world.

IPOB and ESN have been killing Igbos who are mostly Christians is not genocide against Christians
but insecurity in the north that have claimed the lives of more Muslims than Christians is genocide against Christians

It is not authentic, I made very in-depth research , all the links came from the regime’s supporters and nothing from the man’s own source. Am awaiting replies to my email to his office
