There is no way you can justify or whitewash the US military airstrikes in Nigeria because it remains a fact that Nigeria is a sovereign state. Even the USA will not allow another country to meddle in it's internal affairs the way it's government continue to do in Nigeria. The root problem when it comes to all the crisis going on in Nigeria is Nigerians, I say this is because Nigerians have consistently overtime demonstrated gross nonchalance towards doing any thing as a people to hold their government responsible. So one will ask why won't the situation get worse when Nigerians always prefer to fold their arms as a people and did nothing to hold their government accountable over the insecurity and terrorists ravaging the country. Why won't terrorism, crime rate go up when Nigerians allowed the situation to get worse by not mobilizing and pressurizing the government to do something about it. Trump and US government may have good intentions but the fact still remains that their military campaigns in Nigeria is a dangerous precedence to the country's sovereignty. IMHO, their constant push to tag the security crisis in Nigeria solely as christian genocide exposes their hypocrisy and true motives which may be to instigate a religious war. Nigeria's complex security crisis goes beyond persecution of christians because apart from real jihadists killing for religious purposes, there are also those killing for other reasons like fulani sponsored ethnic genocide (Ancestral land grabbing to expand their settlements), foreign backed Illegal miners killing to force relocation of indigenous people so as to gain access to their natural resource rich lands, bandits raiding communities to steal and kidnap for ransome, politicians occupying public offices and senior military officers sponsoring insecurity in order to profit from high security vote allocations and foreign aids programs.

If US, UK and their western allies like France who pretend to care about Nigeria truly want to help the country then all other factors I mentioned above must be considered as well. It is sad that many Nigerians who should know better regarding Nigeria's security issues have allowed themselves to be deceived in echoing western propaganda of christian genocide when it is not entirely true. I won't say that Trump's action in ordering US military intervention had no positive impact but the issue here is not about whether his military action was successful in the killing terrorists as what is at stake here is it's long term negative implications of exacerbating Nigeria's security situation leading to a full blown religious war that will lead to more deaths and destruction.

Nigerians must understand and learn from history that powerful countries like US do not offer free military charity programs, there is always a hidden agenda to advance their foreign policy interests which most times may not be in the interest of the host country (Afganistan, Libia, Iraq et al). The bottomline here is that a lasting solution to Nigeria's security crisis won't come from supporting foreign powers to invade the country as it is guaranteed to fail and may make it worse due to inherent selfish political interests that will always be the true motive behind these foreign powers. If Nigerians truly want to address the issue of terrorism and other security challenges affecting the country, then deliberate actions like mass peaceful protests, civil disobedience like nationwide seat at home must be conducted to show their displeasures, the government of the day must be held accountable.

Since the primary purpose of a democratic government is to provide security and welfare to the people which the Tinubu led government has failed and continue to fail woefully to do, instead of calling on foreign powers, there is a constitutional remedy that safeguards Nigeria's sovereignty and democracy, guarantees a faster, easier route which Nigerians can explore if they truly want to address the security crisis, this option is simply to demand for the impeachment, removal of Tinubu and his compromised government, to pave the way for a general election that will allow Nigerians elect another government that will do what they want like fighting corruption, restructuring or dividing the country and tackling the security crisis. Nigerians need to understand that they must do something as a people to save themselves as there is no easy route in addressing the issues they face. I will reiterate once more, there is no silver bullet, Trump, US, UK, France, Germany do not really care as they are all pursuing their own personal agendas. The solution to Nigeria's problems is local and not foreign, Tinubu's terrible APC government must end if Nigerians still want a country....

If you cannot fix you house your neighbours will help you do that because you and your family are constituting nuisance to the community.

No country will allow another country to meddle in its internal affairs. The US military intervention in Nigeria is a dangerous precedent.

If you cannot fix your house and prefer to rely on strangers to do it for you then you do not deserve to own the house as it will eventually be taken away from you....

You just wrote trash 🗑️

Imagine blaming Nigerians for the insecurity bedeviling them instead the president you campaigned and voted for.

This is the height of self deceit.

How do we hold Tinubu accountable? By going to aso rock?

Is he deaf and dumb? Doesn't he read, listen or watch what is happening in the country he took oath to protect?

Terrorists kill and abduct people everyday and he says nothing.

No arrests, no prosecution,no conviction of these terrorists. Instead they are pardoned and released back into society as repentant terrorists.


Charlie Kirk was killed and Trump picked his assassin in less than 48hr.

The guy who missed assassinating Trump was picked in less than 48hrs.

Over here government would send their errand boys to tv stations to tell us why they can't arrest the culprits or why they can't be tracked.


Oga make u rest abeg.

If Tinubu was serious about fighting insecurity,the first thing he would have done was to abolish the rehabilitation of terrorists from the Buhari era but no, he continued where Buhari stopped.

It is practical that others help dislodge terrorists, military and civilian intelligence is compromised and we can't continue like this.

There are minerals in those areas anyway, let US kúkú take them in lieu of payment. After all, unlike South South oil, those people are claiming it is theirs to keep so US that is helping them chase away terrorists can benefit from it, chikena.

We need to be careful what we wish for, during President Buhari's reign, Fulani terrorists were in the South South causing mayhem and had the backing of the security services. Atiku will do the same if he gets in and we can't wait till Fulani terrorists overrun the country before crying out for help.

The mentioned countries should first of all solve their internal problems before thinking of meddling in other countries affairs.

With the way we were going we would soon end up like Afghanistan and Iraq. Do you think these Islamic terrorists and herdsmen have brains? They were happy with the atrocities they were commiting unchecked

The truth is the northern part of Nigeria must embrace the middle belt and the rest of the country as brothers irrespective of their faith for one Nigeria to be. Anything else is deception and falsehood.

Wishing Trump a successful second term.

My unconditional fix for the garbage called Nigeria is disintegration.

Well, I never supported or voted for Tinubu, in response to your comment, it's self-deceit to fold your arms and think that a corrupt evil government run by someone like Tinubu will work for your interest without protesting against the government's complicity and demanding for what you want. I will once again remind you and other Nigerians pretending to be helpless that the option to demand for the impeachment and removal of a bad government is well within your rights. Nigerians should expect nothing to change if the people can not hold the government accountable.....

Nigeria can not work in it's current form because it is a forced union based on selfish economic interests of the British colonialists that formed it. If Nigeria must exist to serve the interest of the people then it needs to be totally restructured (Total Decentralization) to devolve economic and political powers to states/regions. If this can not be achieved then it is better to divide the country....

You are right but there is an adage that he who fetches firewood infested with ants invites lizards to his house.... Nigerians must respect themselves to earn the respect of other countries....

Is this not sell deception

Are we better than Afghanistan?

Really?

How many kidnappings do we hear from there?
School children abducted in dozens

How many IDPs are in Afghanistan?

We are not better

I dont believe the US military airstrikes are justified. Nigeria is a sovereign nation and they should respect that.

The problem is not US but Tinubu, if you want to be respected by the international community then a dubious character like Tinubu should not be allowed to be the president of your country....
