Which missile target will be burning on an open field huh

They were fed crappy intel. What we need is boots on the ground and training of anti-jihadi christains to go after amd annihilate these terrorists.

I just hope the USA is not eventually ridiculed and disgraced at the end of the day . But the only good news and maybe advantage of this bombing is that it has shown that the us is capable of hitting anywhere in Nigeria if they want to . Maybe that will reset a lot of things
Don't be deceived

There was many casualties. Ask anyone staying around the town in Sokoto

It has effects, it’s a gradual process.. More strikes are coming
Are you the one paying for the 1.5million per one of Tomahawk missile?

Will you ever allow the Nigeria govt to waste taxpayers money as the US is doing, solely to appease to MAGA base, without screaming on top of your voice?

United States air surveillance has been circling areas in Borno state which invariably pushed the terrorists to return to base (the caliphate) located in Sokoto state- Twitter

When I saw the news, I also wondered why Sokoto? Why not Borno where Boko Haram and ISIS are operating from?
Re: Security Expert Says US Military Airstrikes In Sokoto Had No Impact by Lovenorth: 4:26pm On Dec 26, 2025
I don't think the Nigerian government will give them the accurate target

You think they need Nigeria government to give them coordinates after their own surveillance?

The truth is they know more than you and even some of your security analysis blabbing here.

Waste of metal..
That strike would have been better off at the sambisa.
However, it lacks precision, unbecoming of the so called US might.

Don't worry yourself, it will soon have impact 🤣🤣 That was how it started in Gaza it was a joke.
All the security experts should try and stay close to those terrorists . Let us check something.
They are down playing a security action. Their body will soon tell them 😁😁
You too Sabi, I can remember how Islamabad said Israel can't enter Gaza. Israel strikes 3 weeks after Oct 7th. Hamas beg for cease fire tire.

But they admitted that they worked in coordination with the Nigerian government. Look I don't even want them to work with the government

How many terrorists were killed?
We are yet to see any casualty from the bandits side.
Waste of bomb. Waste of resources. Waste of intel.

Lol.. They work with the Nigerian government for permission to enter the Nigerian airspace since a lot of people were talking about sovereignty.

Before you said USA can't strike Nigeria because we are a sovereign country...

Next you said Nigerian government permitted

Now you said the hit has no impact

The next one will land on your family compound to get the desired impact...
Me said Nigerian government permitted? Why you dey scatter lie like this? Meeeeeehuh Did you drink

When kanu was convicted, I wondered why sokoto and not the popular kuje prison in FCT..

When you solve the above puzzle, you would get answers to your question

Must the US Depend on the Intelligence Reports of Terrorist Location from Nigeria rather than Locating the Terrorist Base themselves .
Re: Security Expert Says US Military Airstrikes In Sokoto Had No Impact by StoneLucifer: 4:34pm On Dec 26, 2025
Abeg, U.S hit them hard..Smoke them all out. Nigeria is behind u.

Am sure the phone call went something like this:

Nigeria GOV: Hello Senator Marco rubio sir, merry chri *gets interrupted*

Rubio: What is it? Get straight to it. I am busy.

Nigeria GOV: Sir, weve located a terrorist hideout in sokoto.

Rubio: You mean bornu?

Nigeria GOV: No, Sokoto sir?

Rubio: Umm, Okay, so?

Nigeria GOV: We want your government to help us sir.

Rubio: Don't you guys have jets, like the one you used in Benin recently for macron? What do you need us for? angry

Nigeria GOV: Sir our jets are currently undergoing maintenance, please help us bomb them sir.

Rubio: Ughhh!!! Fine!!!! But next time any of you are invited for an interview don't you EVER say trash like this 👇 Understood?




Nigeria GOV: Sir am sorry, pierce morgan was really hitting *line cuts*
What the fvck is this 😂😂😂😂

What impact were you expecting?
I told you guys already what will happen.
Trump is only interested in the optics.
Trump just wants to go on social media and claim to have killed all terrorists even though he might not have killed one.

Nigerian stakeholders must have given wrong Intel in order to protect their comrades on banditry. If USA involves Nigerians in attacks there would be no results ; remember how Boko haram wore masks when Americans wanted to gas sambisa forest because they carried Nigerians along.
Re: Security Expert Says US Military Airstrikes In Sokoto Had No Impact by Angelfrost(m): 4:40pm On Dec 26, 2025
Mtchewwww... Security expert from a nation and continent that has one of the worst security profiles on Earth (if not the worst).


U.S have done their jobs and moved on... Whether they killed an ant or failed to wound a mosquito in Sokoto is absolutely immaterial to me.

The clear message sent is the koko... This is a statement that no terrorist is safe in Nigeria, no matter how Gumi and others try to shield them.


The fact that U.S can gather far better intel than our DSS and army, send out drones and bombs wthin an hour, ought to be the main subject of discourse and contention among all Nigerians but many of you would rather toss words around like imbeciles.

Smh!!!

Until they flatten the whole of Sokoto....Àwon ọdè alainírònú. 😒

On the BBC Hausa, a few hours ago. The chairman of Tangaza LGA in Sokoto confirmed that the base of the Lukurawa terrorists was indeed hit by the missiles, killing a lot of the terrorists.

A message he sent already
Impact or no impact
We have the balls to strike you anytime anyday any where

Next one will land on Gumi himself to gain the desired impact
It has a great impact, it has sent shiver down those terrorists and they know what America is capable of doing, hope Israel will be allowed to join them, they are good in dealing with terrorists
