Sowore Reacts To Trump-Ordered Airstrikes In Nigeria by Adeoyafemi(op): 7:12am On Dec 26, 2025
Trump Bombed Terrorists in Nigeria While Tinubu Watched Powerlessly - Sowore Alleges

Nigeria has been thrown into fresh controversy following claims by activist and former presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore that the United States carried out a military strike on Nigerian soil on Christmas Day without genuine authorization from Nigeria’s leadership.

In a strongly worded statement posted on his Facebook wall, Sowore reacted to announcements credited to Donald Trump and the U.S. Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, claiming that American forces targeted Islamic State (ISIS) elements in northwest Nigeria.

According to Sowore, the operation — reportedly executed in a village in Sokoto — exposes what he described as Nigeria’s alarming loss of sovereignty under the administration of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

I have read reports that the United States government launched attacks on Nigerian soil on Christmas Day, as announced by @realDonaldTrump and the U.S. Secretary of War, @PeteHegseth, purportedly targeting terrorist groups within Nigeria.

Although the Nigerian government now claims it was aware and describes the operation as a joint effort with vague “international partners,” it is evident that the strikes were carried out without the genuine authority or informed consent of the weaklings masquerading as government under Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu.

My position remains unchanged. Judging by the nature of the confirmed strike on a village in Sokoto, it is clear that the U.S. President under whose authority this operation occurred neither understands nor genuinely cares about Nigeria or Nigerians.

It is deeply troubling that Nigeria (Africa’s most populous nation) lacks the capable and sovereign leadership required to protect its people and its territory.

As a result, the country has been reduced to a bystander while its sovereignty is violated under the direction of U.S. President Donald J. Trump.

I reiterate: only true, tested, and informed leadership can protect Nigerians—not imperiled, jaundiced neoconservatives operating from Washington, D.C.

Tinubu is just a weak man that has no balls. Trump balls are iron cast.
Re: Sowore Reacts To Trump-Ordered Airstrikes In Nigeria by CyynthiaKiss(f): 7:13am On Dec 26, 2025
Tinubu and his urchings are now claiming joint operation, as if their opinion matter.. The same military intervention they initially rejected..

What kept them so long is they really wanted a joint operation ?
Why must they wait for US to call them out all these while before reacting ?

Very funny people

Sowore is making a mountain out of a molehill. The US acted in self-defense, and we should be thankful for the assistance.

Nothing like joint operation here. It was solely American operation to save Nigerians from the Islamic terrorists. Trump is our beloved president. Any other person claiming president is an interloper.

The anarchists will always have something to say.

If the FG did not cooperate with the US, they will lament. The FG is cooperating, they are wailing.

This will not make Sowore perform better at the next presidential election.

Sowore never stops to amaze me with his outlandish perspectives.

The narration should be Tinubu made Nigeria lose its Sovereignty due to his gross Ineptitude.
Trump needs commendation for more eradication of terrorists.

We lost nothing. The strike was at the request of the Nigerian government. Both countries worked together to identify the targets while US conducted the strikes because of their superior air power. See the tweets from the US War secretary and US Africom

Sowore is just making noise. There is no evidence yet that the US carried out any strike in Nigeria.

Potus made it clear over a month ago what he will do with or without your approval and everyone who knows him know he will carry it out so you are free to continue saving face.

Trump doing what the so called strategist could not do.
Tinubu is a strategist in looting and election rigging only.

A case of damned if you do, damned if you don’t – if he didn’t cooperate with the US, they will label him a terrorist sympathizer, now that his government worked with the US to target terrorist positions, they still had something to complain about
You won’t get anything done if you take Nigerians too seriously

Tinubu is weak, aloof, lost and disoriented. Tinubu is afraid just like where he is from. Fear and weakness is common among them

The FG gave approval for the strikes. No one cares about whatever rubbish folks like you want to spew. Nobody expects anything sensible from IPOB sympathizers and election losers. The truth of the matter remains that there is a renewed collaboration between the FG and the US government to fight terrorism. That is what matters to folks like me and not the gibberish you’re spewing.

I thought the APC boys were against military intervention. Why are they now claiming joint military operation?
