Nigeria’s Foreign Minister, Yusuf Tuggar's Brilliant interview on CNN (video): Key facts: Nigeria's President, Bola Tinubu, approved the strike after he was briefed by Ambassador Tuggar. US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio called Tuggar back to confirm that Tuggar has obtained President Tinubu’s approval. Nigeria is targeting terrorists. It is not a fight against Christians, Muslims, atheists or any religious belief. It is not only a Nigerian problem but regional insurgency caused by decisions of some foreign countries like the destruction of governance in Libya and subsequent murder of President Muamar Ghadaffi. Nigeria’s willing , ready and able to partner with any government all over the world to combat the terrorists. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u95-PjoAwRU Yusuf Tuggar. Yusuf Maitama Tuggar OON (born 12 March 1967) is a Nigerian diplomat and politician who is the current Nigerian minister of foreign affairs.

He was absolutely diplomatic, intelligent and brilliant to enlighten the world on the real issues without directly calling the Americans and American President out. That CNN interviewer really succumbed to his superior understanding of the issue and eloquence. She and her editor will probably feel disappointed not to hear what they wanted to hear ![]() When next they want to interview a Nigerian government official, they will come with biro and notebooks to learn. All the unfortunate unpatriotic elements and terrorists are in severe pains |

I have my doubts... Why is Yusuf tuggar the minister of foreign affairs acting as intermediary between the US government and tinubu. This kind of "joint operation" ought to have been a direct communication between president tinubu and the American president/military with the active collaboration and awareness of the Nigerian army. Not the foreign affairs ministry or minister. There is a comma somewhere in all of these! |

brain54:You should equally be asking why Marco Rubio is acting as intermediary between Tuggar and Trump. Please don't bring in your comma of inferiority complex. |

FreeStuffsNG:Rubio is a US senator... The more reason why the whole thing looks fishy and dodgy... With a big comma and asterisk! |

brain54:Rubio was a Senator same way Tuggar was a Federal Legislator and former Nigerian Ambassador to Germany. Keep bringing up your excuses to justify your ignorance of the topic you're dabbling into ehn. Smh |

A very daft interview from thuggar. He is fo.olishly trying to lay the blame back on America and NATO allies by blaming their last intervention in the sahel as the trigger that has caused insecurity here. No wonder the usual nairaland APC bots are waxing lyrical for the daft thing Was it Libya that caused army to be supporting the terrorists to kidnap Christian farmers? Or Libya caused them not round up the terrorists. Libya also caused the govt to sentence peope acting on self defence to death. Libya helped the lynching of Deborah. Libya helped herders attack farmers. This is a daft interview. |

Trump said he is here because Islamists are killing Christians and this White beard Santa Claus looking fellow cannot even answer a straight question... It goes to show that "they" have little regards for the Christian community being targeted..... It only drives home and touches them, when these demons actually target Muslim worshippers like they did in Borno State recently... |

FreeStuffsNG:great guy,you've said it all. The west utilises the media for dominance not knowing that Nigeria has mastered the game from the struggles if independence using intellectuals and strength coupled with Asiwaju media horizon has an opposition in battling ruling party . Same with Trump in tbe US. Bwala and our honorable minister are well picked by Asiwaju and that's a well done Job. |

Where are the very sad ones saying Tinubu was not aware of the strike? You'll see them changing the narratives now that why was Tuggar the intermediary between US and Nigeria. As long as these useless bandits and jihadist will be wiped out, let the strike continues, peace is what we need in Nigeria. |

Talking from both sides of your mouth: thought you said only Christians are being targeted in Nigeria? Which one come be "these demons actually target Muslim worshippers like they did in Borno State"? It's either you believe only Christians are being targeted or not. If you can admit any other sets of people have been affected, then it means you are a clown who can't have an opinion of his own. You must blindly follow a narrative set by others. Trump is not with you on this "moslems were killed in Borno by terrorists" o! To trump, no single person other than Christians have been killed. So its either you align or be branded a terrorist sympathiser. SlavaUkraini: |

brain54:Because Trump does not have the patience to deal with our inept leadership after his experience with Buhari at the White-house. He basically delegated such contacts to junior govt officials as intermediaries. |
