The US airstrikes were at the request of the Nigerian government.

What kind of religion takes pride in killing innocent people. I wonder how their clerics sleep at night seeing all these killing and bombing of innocent people here and there.

There are radicals accross every religion.
Like the Boko Haram in the north
Ipob in the east
Even the jews in israel...

It seems bizarre to you because you have been raised to see it as wrong. To people that do it it's a noble act- an act of obedience. So they sleep well and peaceful.

Thaty the power of religion

Yes he is and there are scores like that here

kingbee90:
Their clerics are the ones installing these violence in them.
These violence even make the clerics sleep better at night.
What a pissful religion.

So who are those instigating the violence in the southeast? Is it the clerics too?

Dogalmighty17:
This is my issue with Trump. He loses focus easily. This bombing campaign will need to be sustained for the long term. It is an embarrassment that Nigeria has allowed this thing to fester for this long.

Is Trump your president?

US has a long tradition with working with rebels to achieve their goals. In Iraq, Libya ,Afghanistan and Syria.

Those strikes might just be warning shots so that the sects leaders can come to table and negotiate with the US.

The movie will unfold before 2027.

How many people has the proscribed IPOB terrorists killed or still killing? How many?
As far as Nigeria is concerned, IPOB has been designated as a terrorist organisation and would remain so.
Their leader has also been covicted for terrorism, serving a life sentence in sokoto.
Are these courts also my people?
Just shut your mouth if you donknow what to say.

The best way to reduce terrorism is to go after the sponsors. Anything less that won't give a better result for long

If you know how much 1 missile cost , you go know say all these na just show 🤣. It's even cheaper to put boots on the ground

odejimioflagos:
The idea of ISWAP having a logistics hub in Sokoto is alarming. But we should be careful about interpreting foreign operations. The US has its own agenda, and we shouldn't blindly follow their narrative.

Why did they strike Nigeria without prior notice though?

Which kain hoolabalu question be this .... Wr you expecting dem to tell you wr dey want to bomb on national TV... Dey play

kernniejay:
I'm not totally impressed yet. We need multiple precision strikes that will continue for weeks non-stop before we can be convinced that these bad elements are truly neutralized.
They are die hard, they would retreat into neighbouring camps and wait for the coast to clear before they regroup and come back to continue to unleash terror on innocent villagers, tagging them informants to US and government.
We also need drone strikes that will pick out their sponsors in government and their advocates such as Gumi and co.

And who will pay for the continues strikes to impress you?

Danisaint112:
Omoh! Terrorist just surplus for North. If I say we should pieces this country now so everyone can go there seperate ways it would be termed hate for Nigeria.

This can never work. When do we eradicate all this shit below?

The Sultan of Sokoto is one scary man though. How does he comfortably leave there. The day they all launch a coordinated attack on him with a large force, it's over.

I keep telling people, the North is already conquered and the west is next. But only a few can see it. Pieces Nigeria if we don't want her to work.

For him to sit comfortably there tells you one thing. He is aware of whatever is happening in his domain. Being a one-time top ranking military man and a foremost religious/ traditional ruler, he should pick up such information easily but his silence speaks one thing.

*Did you notice that they struck Sokoto?*

Written by Ifeanyi Christopher

Not Borno.
Not Plateau.
Not the obvious front line.

That should teach you something about American intelligence and intelligence gathering.

They know where the problem is from

You do not fight only where the noise is loud.
You hit where coordination, funding, and command are happening.

The Nigerian Army can handle the front line.
Soldiers can confront fighters head-on.

But to end the problem, you dismantle the powerhouse.
You break the coordination, the planners, the enablers.

That is how real wars are won.

This was not an attack.
It was a warning.

A message that says, in clear terms:
We know where you are.
We are watching you.
Leave now, or face the consequences.

That is how serious operations begin.
Quiet. Precise. Psychological.

And this is only one of many signals.
If the attacks in Nigeria don't stop
America will not back down, especially with this Israel intelligence

I said it before in one of my posts.
The next phase would not be loud.
In the next 90 days, the noise would drop.

What you are seeing now is the beginning of that phase.

Why am I worried?

Because Trump has now put Nigeria on the global map for the worst possible reason ever.

A US missile strike on Nigerian soil.
Then a public announcement that America struck ISIS terrorists in Nigeria 👈

That single statement has done serious diplomatic damage to Nigeria.

Nigeria’s image has been dragged into a category it has never openly occupied before.

And this could have been avoided months ago.

If the leadership had acted with precision.
If they had controlled the narrative.
If they had managed the media.
If they had crushed the insurgents quietly and decisively.

But they failed. Completely.

From the security adviser.
To the army command.
To the media handlers.
To the presidential circle.
Up to the president himself.

They failed first to control the story.
They failed to counter propaganda.
They failed, most importantly, to end the insurgency.

Now it has spilled beyond our control.

Inside Nigeria, life feels normal.
People are dancing, posting, moving on.

But outside Nigeria, the picture is different.
To the international community, Nigeria is now being associated with terrorism.

Terrorism they have neglected since 2009

Travel restrictions are only the first signal.

Clearing this image will not be easy.
It will require the government to go all in.

Diplomatically. Militarily. Politically. Media-wise.

They must prove, that Nigeria is safe again.
And that process is neither fast nor simple.

That is why this strike worries me.

Still, one thing remains true.
If our leaders failed and someone else is now forcing accountability,
then that part, at least, is a welcome development.

nice piece

Why is Nigeria army not dropping bombs on the terrorist targets themselves?

Tinubu is a strategist my foot 🦶.

The terrorists are been studied before striking. Every strike should be deadly enough.

Did it occur to you that the info might be leaked? Or have you people just forgotten how operational logistics been sabotaged has led to the death of many soldiers. How una dey reason now?

What have you been reading?

Even though Sokoto and Kebbi might appear peaceful, don't be surprised to discover that they are the major base of these terrorists.

They won't strike in their base.

If Tinubu government is doing the needful there will be no need for US intervention.
His incompetence is inexcusable.

The needful around brood of vipers who will sabotage anything. If the ongoing clearance that is going on is not concluded at Aso rock, he will still rely on the U.S to do this
Nobody has said anything about Sultan of Sokoto, he's been really quiet.

There are moles in the government, especially in the military. Someone would have leaked the Intel to the terrorists or their sponsors.

Study or no study, the US knows what and where the actual targets hibernate and that is where they return to after every murderous raid


That is where the hellfire was activated


You reckon they just woke up and randomly settled to make it rain in just anywhere?

But that zagazola guy on X was trying to insinuate that there was nothing in sokoto, stating that the bombs landed on an open space and did not hit any targets. Omo, these guys are just the same, no matter how they pretend to want this problem to end.

CodeTemplarr:
From all news coming out, the strikes arent destroying terrorists storehouses or terrorists themselves. Yekini just using Trump's weapon to play real life video game. APC is devil in form of party.

All these children come online and type nonsense.
Do you know how polarised Nigeria is at the moment?
The president is trying to manage the situation so it doesn't look like he is using americ against the north and you are here typing nonsense.

You want the NIA to invite you personally to their office to give you casualty report?

When the Bible talks about the anti Christ you think it's a joke?
