Heavy United States military build-up in Nigeria for the past week in preparation of a potential US-backed offensive against Islamic State affiliate ISWAP in northeast Nigeria.

Between February 6 and 14, six US Air Force cargo planes landed in West Africa, all of them stopping in Accra, Ghana first. Five of them landed later on in Nigerian Air Force bases, while the sixth aircraft only arrived today and will likely follow the route towards the northeast as well.

- 1x C-17A to Kainji Airbase
- 1x C-130J-30 to Maiduguri Airbase, Borno
- 3x C-17A to Maiduguri Airbase, Borno

All of them left the respective bases on the same day they landed.

Maiduguri Airbase will likely be the primary base of operations for supporting the Nigerian army against ISWAP. This is a critical location as the IS affiliate currently controls most of Borno State rural areas.

The volume of the delivery and the type of aircraft used by the USAF indicates that very heavy equipment is being sent to Maiduguri Airbase, I suspect at least one or more MQ-9 Reaper drones, attack helicopters and of course a large number of US troops.

On February 10, American and Nigerian officials told WSJ that the US was to send 200 US troops to Nigeria.

I oppose US military aggression in the middle, I support US military assistance in Nigeria

US troops that came to Nigeria are to monitor and ensure that the equipments supplied are well utilized. My opinion

Good news. They are coming to install our Obi as president

Our soldiers have families, enough of senseless killings. Let's settle this ones and for all.

The years of terror is over.
The terrorists should find a new business.

Hopefully it produces a better result

Senator Ali Ndume says Welcome to our American partners.

unfortunately, when US military enter your country, there's something serious they want to do. All other African countries oppose them but they're here in your country, forget all these talks about assistance, US military don't assist without a price.. although I love their presence here in Nigeria

Nice one! Anywhere you see the USAF C5-Galaxy or C-17 Globemaster military planes, then know that it an all guns blazing combat mission.

Sounds like a terrorist sympathizer. Why will any Kwara resident be sad if US troops come to Kwara to kill terrorists?

Assistance to a government that is denying terror attacks.

English language is your major problem, you don't know the difference between aggression and assistance.

Call your Islamic brothers killing for their mecca idols to order, they will soon be sent to queue for their 72 virgins of deceit soon. Don't come here with your usual propagandas, we are not in need of your likes and approval. Enough of Islamic terrorism worldwide!

Initially, one opposed the intervention of the US in our domestic affairs but, seeing that the terrorists are not relenting and our seeming incapability of curbing the menace and the threat to our national stability and economic growth, the intervention is worth it.

Nigeria has similarly learnt a helping hand to other countries in Sub-Saharan Africa and beyond in resolving their internal crisis in the past.

So, if the USA is able to help us resolve this protracted terrorists onslaught, so be it.

Your opinion does not matter in this context since we know where you belong and emotionally offer intrinsic support. You will soon know what they are for, you don't need to worry yourself ahead of time. You will soon begin your propagandas writing now when the islamic terrorist begin to get roasted

Aggression against terrorists or babablu?

they are welcome.
They are here to do the lord's work...
All terrorist should be warned.
Even their sympathizes on this platform

PBAT is way smarter than them and their "Yes Daddy" leader who automatically supported and demanded unauthorized bombing of Nigeria by USA.

Their lobbying was to secure regime-change bombing of Nigeria they wanted Obi to profit from. Yet we now have the USA working in a partnership with Nigeria as never seen before. The thing come hook dem for throat.

Note how Obi, who has called for USA to bomb Nigeria after Trump initially made the threat, is now silent as USA chose to work , under a formal joint committee partnership, with Nigeria rather than invade us "guns a blazing" as they were all salivating to see.

Obi can only speak when there is a chance to make the Government look bad.

When the government does something good and commendable, the Agulu charlatan is graveyard silent. In the words of Trump himself "terrible, terrible people".

Another babablu bulabu.

But your Tinubu government later said they worked together with US in the bombing of Nigeria recently.
Tinubu is smart by folding his arms while terrorists are colonizing many areas.

I know you are in pain. Suck it up bro. Try and follow your leader.

I.e your Agulu messiah Obi who is now graveyard silent because there is no negative development he can 'gum body' with and, conversely , he can never praise the good the government does either.

We appreciate his expected silence as we await yours too.

US troops are here to babysit your military that have failed to protect Nigerians.

I understand your pain. You lobbied and lost. You wanted unauthorised and regime change bombing of Nigeria driven by your "Christian Genocide" paid lobbying. You jubilated wildly when Trump initially threatened such.

Instead and eventually, thanks to masterful diplomacy from the PBAT Government, you got formal USA and Nigeria partnership to fight terror that even strengthens Tinubu's position and status when you believed you had pulled off a masterstroke to get him out.

I would be extremely pissed off and depressed also if in your shoes.

Since 2009, the senseless killings must stop even if it means pumping oil for the US as payment. This bloodshed must stop. Northern leaders hands are not clean.
