Illiterate plenty like madooo in Naija. So, una think the US go just drop bombs without monitoring the areas for some days via Satelite. The US that monitored Iran's nuclear program facility, and saw how trucks were going in and out via the satellite would just drop bomb worth of thousands of dollars blindly. Make una go school, una go say na scam. Learn self study and concepts of research methodologies (not details but the concept), etc.

The same Iran that quickly came out to tell the world that their facilities weren't touched but were full of regrets cos the blow was too much. Now. Can't you see the pattern? Na ISIS quickly dey feed the public nonsense that they weren't affected. Lol. More news to come. In coming days una go dey read how they have been damaged seriously. Just watch out.

And all of you illiterates, shut the crap up!!!.



Thank you brother/sister. Na so the Islamic terrorists dwy behave. Dem go sell out news they weren't affected so that their members won't start panicking. They were blasted seriously. News go dey go out gradually.
Gbamsulotey, hahaha mucheche Hahaha 😂

Might be a publicity stunt.
It's symbolic.
It is just events that would follow the creation of a new state in Nigeria.

Few minutes before US strikes, Israel PM sent strong message to Nigeria.

Now, Israel has recognized the Republic of Somaliland; an emerging African country

Something is off. The bandits/isis/terrorists whatever have not even said anything or release anything... It's so called propagandists sitting in the comfort of their house tweeting and posting that USA airstrikes had no impact... We wait and see.


Iran did more than this in denying later everyone see wetin sup

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
Thy can’t be disgraced

That strike would have been better off at the sambisa.
However, it lacks precision, unbecoming of the so called US might.
Lol... See this one wey never chop belleful carry cheap data dey talk about "precision". grin

You think if U.S wants to bomb Gumi's house, they can't?!! Dey play.

They merely came to send a clear message... And it has been well received.

You online patriots should continue forming "precision experts" online... Don't go and force your useless leaders to take national security more seriously.

Smh!!!

Two things involved here

1 either this was a warning strike or mistaken coordinates.

2. There was a leak since Tinubu FG gave them permission to strike and leaked info to the terrorist or their enablers to flee that location immediately. Hence no casualties

The latter is more likely
Oh.. so Tinubu gave them permission now?, Was this what you said before?. See how this one dey change mouth now now now grin

Tinubu will continue to make all of you shameless.

Am glad Nigeria still has smart people like you who know how to think and ask thought provoking questions.

America please come and take our resources oooo, we dont care as long as you kill the terrorists you created. We love you

It seems like the US was misled into carrying out the futile strikes. So far as they work in concert with Nigerian government, they will continue to fire blank. This will become pretty obvious to them soon.
Re: Security Expert Says US Military Airstrikes In Sokoto Had No Impact by GreenCovering: 5:01pm On Dec 26, 2025
Instead of targeting ISWAP in the north east, they are bombing innocent farmers in the north west and law abiding citizens homes in Offa in Kwara state. We await response from AFRICOM on this. They should give a detailed account of what intel they followed to hit their targets in those locations and the specific terror group being targeted and the impact level. Otherwise, suspicion will begin to set in with respect to the intents of their mission. undecided

So the experts talking have been to the areas of the attack.

It's was more like a warning strike.
Before any strike is carried out an estimated casualties is put into consideration. The wideness and area of the attack is known too.

The strike was to let the terrorist know they can be obliterated at will.

Nevertheless, the experts are wrong, there is certainly casualties in the attack.

It is 100% confirmed that terrorists are in Nigerian government .

Like this is sure banker!
How did the terrorists know that US is about to strike and that’s because our government officials have snitched and informed their terrorists bandits before the attack

Tomahawk missiles cost between 1.2 million USD to 2 .3 million USD per one.

In your mind, that’s the kind of missile you use as a warning. You guys are clownish.

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.
If the US and Israel were so powerful the way you think they are then Israel won't be fighting just 7m population Palestine for four thousand years now. The US won't make a mess of themself in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Egypt. Taliban is rulling Afghanistan as at today.
I hate terrorists as i hate the devil but please stop making the US too powerful more than what she's truly is. They have their own internal issues such as gun trotting psychos killing thousands of people over there. Libya was a mess and if care is not taking Nigeria could be a bigger mess. War no be computer simulation and satellite shit oh. War na very unpredictable matter. Sebi Russia still dey Ukraine till now.
All I'm saying is that both Nigeria and the US should prepare for a very long thing. Trump will be surprised that a quick strike that will end terrorism in a country of 200m plus with terrorists backing military junta neighbors no be moinmoin. The only good thing I'm seeing here is that this might lead to the fragmentation of Nigeria because the North will soon begin to show how much they love their terrorists while the south will say enough is enough.
Re: Security Expert Says US Military Airstrikes In Sokoto Had No Impact by discusant: 5:10pm On Dec 26, 2025
But Nigeria's foreign minister says it was a coordinated attack between Nigeria and America. So how come the targets were missed?

Don't be in a hurry to conclude. They know what they're doing. Those saying no impact will soon be wailing that wrong people were targeted, that they should please stop. If the target went awry, the US intelligence would have said so. When the Nigerian government was unable to rescue the US citizen abducted by boko haram. They came into Nigeria, located their hiding place and neutralised the terrorists after rescuing their citizen safely.

Let them keep talking nonsense. The strikes will be more intense soon. They monitor everything from the satellite. All their sponsors will be taken out.

Let me remind you of what happened some years back in borno. A set of police officers was sent on a mission to arrest a terrorist. Despite identifying themselves, another set sent to counter the mission killed them but luckily one of them escaped with heavy gunshot wounds. The federal govt was told that the terrorist escaped meanwhile those who were sent to counter the operation rescued him and took him in a van to a safe place. They had thought all the officers had died and case had been buried until one day when the officer recovered and appeared at the force headquarters. He was the one that explained all that happened, even pointing to those who countered their mission. Nigerian government and politicians dwell so much on falsehood.

Recently in kwara, the wife of governor said nobody was killed in Eruku, that the police swiftly repelled the attack, contrary to what happened. By the time she saw the video of the livestreamed event, she swallowed her vomit. That's how they roll.

Had no impact. Though from a different angle. Airstrikes alone is not enough and you can't take out those terrorists completely without ground troops to finish them off!
Believe these people at your risk. US would have said it had no effect if true cos America isn't Nigerian govt who would see white and say its green. Wait until they accomplish their mission. They'd soon start wailing. It was a perfect strike each time. Satellite isn't there in the space for nothing. They monitor everything, the same way they monitored killings of Osama bin laden and were all watching it live in the Whitehouse in America as it took place.

Still on the wrong path.
Sokoto empire is where sharia criminal laws for northern Nigeria was born.
Remember Sani Yerima who brought sharia criminal laws is from the Sokoto empire.

Americans know that adoption of sharia criminal laws by northern Nigeria is at the root of the Islamic militancy in Nigeria. But sharia people in Nigeria will not accept the fact.

Note that stamping out sharia criminal laws in Nigeria is one of the conditions given by America to Nigeria government.
