This is the best Christmas gift of all time
Re: US Launches Air Strikes In Nigeria, Targeting ISIS Terrorists, Trump Announces by MT:
It’s good that Nigeria Government green lighted the operation.

Nigeria is a sovereign nation, and as against what most of you thought, it was not a unilateral strike. It was a coordinated strike carried out at the request of Nigeria Government.

I insist if Trump has behaved rationally and caught the terrorists unaware, he could have achieved better results, instead of running his mouth on social media, planning the war.

He couldn’t do it without Nigeria Government approval. That’s why most American government officials had been coming into the country of late.

Nigeria needs help from any country with advanced capability but this approach won’t solve any problem. He could have cooperated with Nigeria govt unnoticed instead of announcing war on social media.

Few military strikes won’t solve the problems. These terrorists are defiant, they will possibly make Nigeria a battleground.

Good intention, bad approach.
Nigerian has been a battleground for over 15 years since northern power mongers brought in rebels into the country! They are terrorists rebels and should be bonmbed into hell...your taquiyya will not cut it anymore!

Where are those Agbado people that says Nigeria is a sovereign country. Finally, we can now agree that there's a Christian genocide.

This is just the beginning of multiple strikes and bombing. Trump will not spare anyone of them.

''AT THE REQUEST OF THE NIGERIAN AUTHORITIES''.

Very important line. wink

God bless you.

You are a Nigerian with dignity.

They feel US would just come gra gra into Nigeria to start throwing bomb.

That’s the most important line, like you said.

Yes. Nigeria is a sovereign country and that was why the US confirmed that the bombing was carried out at the request of Nigeria Government.

Protecting innocent lives should never be optional. Leadership is about acting decisively when terror targets the vulnerable and making it clear that violence has consequences.This is the best Christmas gift in a long while 🎁.
E nor go ever better for Bola Ahmed Tinubu and im moronic APC party along with its supporters.

I hope commander in chief Bola Ahmed Tinubu addresses the nation in a timely fashion.

We are under attack as a sovereign nation.

President Tinubu needs to come out and explain, how nd why he gave permission for a foreign governement to strike Nigerian soil.

Was it approved by Nigerian senate ? was Akpabio complicit.

To what goal or aim is the strike on Nigeria suppose to achieve ?
So many questions,I hope due process was obtained.
You and who are under attack?
Me I am perfectly fine. I am in my house 🏠 encouraging the attack.

I dont know how to react to this? If this is true. Whichever way then the Nigerian military is useless. How a foreign military can coduct air strikes in your teritory without any counter response from the airforce shows zero air defence capability.

Expect more chaos in Nigeria in the coming days. This explain the travel ban now! The US military base was in Niger with the french too yet they couldnt defeat ISWAP terrorist in Niger or prevent the military coup there. This shows weakeness of the Nigerian military.

If the FG knows about this then that would even be worse because this will be turning Nigeria into a battlefield between US and Russia else heads should row first thing in the morning in the defense ministry / NSA office. If Tinubu likes himself he should act fast or else he should be preparing for regime change

Who told you that? This was done with the cooperation of the Nigerian government.

Exactly, Nigeria may turn into a battlefield for a proxy war of influence between Russia and USA. Now you will see them testing bombs/missles they have in labs here. How FG could allow this is beyond me.

When terrorists were attacking innocent Nigerians, your sovereign nation was not under attack.

But when US hits terrorists in your country, you are under attack.

Clap for yourself.

Russia no send you. Russia that has unfinished business with Ukraine don't have your time.

Come up with a realistic conspiracy theory.

More bombs to eradicate the terrorists.

Nigeria should not suffer because of the ineptitude of Tinubu.

The recent visit of US delegation to Benue state actually gave them more than enough reason to believe Tinubu and APC led federal government has failed to protect Nigerians.
And they praised Tinubu after these meetingshuh

Long live America
Long live Nigeria
Peace to men of goodwill

You are that naive and stupid! You are thanking trump for attacking your father’s land? You are stupid enough to believe that this is about “Christianity “. They are getting ready to attack Venezuela too. Both Nigeria and Venezuela have oil. They attacked Iraq because they claimed Iraq has “Weapon of Mass Destruction”. They’ve completely destroyed and destabilized a once vibrant nation because of “weapons of mass destruction”. A weapon which they never found. Every Iraqis that supported America’s invasion into their land is living in regrets today. You idiots are cheering a devil to come and destroy your land.

Read to comprehend.

Go and read where I used the word “unnoticed”.

Must Trump first come on social media to announce his intention of “war”? Which responsible President do that?

I hope and pray this doesn’t lead to more problem. Most investors wishing to come to Nigeria will stop. US to me is not interested in killing any terrorist, they seem to be interested more in our resources. That’s my assumption and I hope I am wrong.

Before you realise it, US will be chasing terrorists in port harcourt and start seizing oil wells. Trump’s US can’t be trusted.
First point
He couldn’t do it without Nigeria Government approval. That’s why most American government officials had been coming into the country of late.
Second point which contradicts the first!
He could have cooperated with Nigeria govt unnoticed instead of announcing war on social media.
In your first point,you claimed US did the bombing with the approval of Nigerian government.....if they got the backing of the FG why does the US still need the cooperation of FG when there was an initial approval from Nigeria according to you?

You just displayed your ignorance of foreign relations and geopolitics. The US is suddenly interested in a military operations in Northern Nigeria because of Niger replublic and the growing Russian influence there. The junta there sent the US and the french packing last year and recently just handed over their uranium mines to Russia. That is why the USA wants to be closer if you know what uranium means then you will be concerned too.
