Jokers and scammers. So they want to withdraw their troops without giving us Biafra nor removing Tinubu? Trump should refund us our lobby money then, agreement is agreement

Noted…

Mattswaggz:
Maybe they've realized that most of the enemies are the very ones in charge.

The enemies are the politicians.

Forget it guy, Nigerians no get memory.

No be this same country wey everyday bandit news Dey front page? Every single day a family is kidnapped and a community is gunned down.


Since America came, those things have died down. Butyl yet look at front comments acting like everything was like this from the start.


Kai. Street no get memory. And 95% of Nigeria is the street

The US fulfill their mission on killing a terrorist commander. Our own military will lie that they kill a terrorist commander only for the commander to resurface in a video and call them Liars and begin to mock them.

If you ever thought it was about “Christian Genocide” then you don’t know how the US operates.

They blackmail to get bidding done. They already got want they wanted.

You think Trump cared about some Black Christians in Africa? 😂😂😂

This one sweet my eyes o! 😂

America come Nigeria with about 200 soldiers, kill one ISIS commander, and now dey go back, calling am "success".

But make we think am well well:

Did dem achieve their goal? Yes – dem come, dem kill the person wey dem want kill, dem disrupt the network, and dem leave. Na their own mission be that.

But na propaganda? Maybe small. Because dem don package am as if Nigeria terrorism don finish. But we know say the problem still dey. Bandits still dey. Kidnappers still dey. Farmer-herder crisis still dey.

America no come to solve all our problems. Dem come to solve their problem – international terrorism. Now dem don finish, dem dey go.

The question na: Wetin we go do now?

Because the real fight – our fight – don just begin. No foreign power go save us. We suppose save ourselves.

Make una talk! America don really win or dem just dey form?

Counter terrorism does not end with killing just one terrorist. Perhaps you thought only one terrorist was eliminated. You must know that the said terrorist was surrounded by his own group. Reaching him demanded that his terrorists group would be attacked and several members killed. What was very crucial was getting the prime target, which was achieved.

Now you”ll wonder why just 200 soldiers were sent. Maybe you need to study events in Syria and how ISIS was eliminated. The Americans only sent a handful of soldiers. Their duty was training, logistics and technical backup. Syrian soldiers were trained to fight and they did it successfully.

So you need to know that the Americans shared and going forward will share military cooperation with the Americans, with the sole aim of putting an end to terrorism in our country, supported by the likes of God1000 and that Freestuff guy.

So in a little period, much easier achieved. Lastly, note that our leadership approached the Americans for military assistance.

You mean just the way an al Qaeda highly wanted became President of Syria? ISIS kor, mission ni

Believe US at your own peril, I tot they came for the so called Christian genocide

Are you not a comedian, after that attack in sokoto and the presence of the US Army, swear to God say the news of kidnapping no drastically go down compared to before them come

Are you aware that an Al Qaeda highly wanted was made Syria president by the US?

Young man, discuss with facts, clear reasons and ideas.

Tell us if your country has benefitted or not. If not, in what ways did the USA fail. By the way, bear it in mind that it is the responsibility of your government to provide security for its citizens. So if your country asks for assistance because of one inadequacy or the other, it is not our of place.

If you are worried that the USA chose to help out with Christian genocide in Nigeria, then you must be one of those who find peace with the killings happening.

You make a valid point, and I'm not here to defend the US or downplay the reality on the ground.

The Sokoto attack you mentioned is a painful reminder that terrorism and banditry are still very much alive in Nigeria. And you're right – despite the US presence, we haven't seen a dramatic drop in kidnapping or attacks.

But here's the distinction:

The US mission was never about solving Nigeria's security crisis holistically. They came to target a specific global terrorist – Abu-Bilal Al-Minuki, the ISIS second-in-command – and disrupt international terror networks. They didn't come to stop banditry in Zamfara, kidnapping in Kaduna, or farmer-herder conflicts in Benue.

So yes – if we're measuring by the overall security situation in Nigeria, the US presence may not have made a noticeable difference. But if we're measuring by their own narrow objective, they achieved it.

The real question is: Should Nigeria have expected more from the US? Or is it our own responsibility to fix the deeper structural issues fueling insecurity?

I'm not a comedian o. I'm just asking the questions we should all be asking.

Dalohad:
Abeg, na who be the ISIS commander wey dem kill?

They came to target a specific global terrorist – Abu-Bilal Al-Minuki, the ISIS second-in-command – and disrupt international terror networks.

san4P:
The fight against terrorism within Nigeria will be won only by a willing Nigerian government...

Just as I earlier stated prior to the US soldiers coming into Nigeria... US government can help Nigeria by apprehending the terrorism sponsors who travel to America or any of their allies nations... also by seizing funds domiciled abroad of these terrorists sponsors...

The influx of foreign nations fighters will give the terrorists cheap propaganda avenue... by adding such as casualties...

Terrorism is not just about the fighters... it also include the sponsors, supporters... so tackling all involved simultaneously is the long lasting solution to the issue...

Renaissance... Dream Again...

You've hit the nail on the head:

1. The Nigerian government must be willing. No foreign power will save us from ourselves.
2. The US can help by targeting sponsors – apprehending them abroad and seizing their assets. Cut the money, cut the terror.
3. Foreign troops can be a propaganda tool – terrorists will use their presence to recruit and justify attacks.
4. Terrorism is a system – fighters, sponsors, supporters, and root causes must all be tackled together.

A lasting solution requires a comprehensive, multi-layered approach. Anything less is just temporary relief.

Renaissance. Dream Again. 🙏

Thank you for this breakdown. You don really explain am well. 🙏

On the operation:
You're right – to reach the main target, dem must first clear the people around am. E no be just one person wey dem kill. Na the whole network wey dem disrupt. That one na serious achievement.

On the 200 soldiers:
Your Syria example make sense. America no need to send thousands of soldiers. Dem send small team to train, give intelligence and logistics. Na local soldiers do the real fighting. That model work before, and e work for Nigeria too.

On the request:
You also correct say our government ask for the help. So this one no be America forcing themselves on us. Na we invite dem.

But the real question still dey:
Now wey America don leave, wetin go happen next? The operation don succeed, but the root problems wey cause terrorism still dey – poverty, unemployment, bad governance.

If we no fix those things, new terrorists go just replace the ones wey dem kill.

The Syria model work because the local forces continue the fight. Are our forces ready to do the same? Na wetin we need to ask ourselves.

Thank you for this comment. E add value to the discussion.

Saturnalia:
You get it. Trump even bombed empty fields in Nothern Nigeria just to deceive his gullible supporters making them think he was fighting terrorism.

The spate of banditry & terrorism have grown ever since.

I pity who no sabi Amerika.

I hear you o! And honestly, your anger no be completely wrong.

America get history of doing things for their own interest. Trump especially – plenty people no trust am. And the bombing you talk about? Many Nigerians believe say dem just dey form to impress their own people back home.

But make we separate things:

This recent operation wey dem kill the ISIS commander – na real thing. E no be empty field. Dem use intelligence to track am and kill am. That one na fact.

However, you right say banditry and terrorism don increase since. But why?

· America no come to fight bandits – dem come to fight global terrorists
· Banditry na our own problem – poverty, unemployment, bad governance
· Foreign help fit help small, but e no fit solve everything

So while I no trust America 100%, I no go lie say this operation succeed for their own objective.

The question wey we suppose ask na:

"If America help us kill one terrorist, who go help us solve the problems wey create terrorists for the first place?"

Na we get that work. No America go do am for us.

Ankakh:
The US is solving their problem (removing the ISIS commander in the region and disrupting the flow of their network and logistics). And yes, it also affects Nigeria.

But what's the government doing about bandits and terrorists in different parts of the country, still causing havoc?

US will see it as internal issue. Does our leaders see it as such?

The US solved their problem – killing an ISIS commander and disrupting their network. Good for them. And yes, it helps Nigeria too.

But what about our problems?

Bandits are still terrorising communities. Kidnapping is still a booming business. Terrorists are still active in the North-East.

The US sees these as internal issues – and they're right. No foreign power will fight our bandits or solve our communal conflicts.

So do our leaders see it that way?

I'm not so sure. Because if they did, we would see:

· More urgency in military operations
· Better intelligence gathering
· Investment in addressing root causes
· Accountability for security failures

The US is leaving. We are staying. The problem is ours to solve.

Let's hope our leaders are ready to do the work.

HacheNoire:

You're absolutely right – and I think most people who follow geopolitics know this.

The US didn't come to save Christians. They came to eliminate a global terrorist threat that affected American interests. That's it.

Religion had nothing to do with it. The "Christian Genocide" narrative was always a stretch – a convenient framing for some, but not the reality of US foreign policy.

On blackmail:

The US uses aid and military cooperation as leverage. That's how they operate globally. They give, and they expect compliance. That's not unique to Nigeria – it's standard practice.

On Trump:

Trump didn't care about Black Christians in Africa. Let's be honest. His policies and comments made that clear.

So what's the lesson?

We cannot keep looking to America to save us. They will always act in their own interest. We must learn to act in ours.

Thanks for this honest comment

If you see how my Christian folks were chanting the name of Triumph to come and Tae over Nigeria, one will think triumph will just come and decimate those badstards called terrorists. This is our problem and we must face it squarely irrespective of tribe or religion

Their leaders in D.C. have not told them the truth about why they were sent here. The U.S. funds these groups.

We have a three great problems in this country presently. They are:
- corruption
- tribal sentiments
- religious sentiments

We must deal with those effectively to move this country forward.

Great nations first conquer agriculture and security. We are not able to achieve all those. The reasons are already stated above. Trust us long gone.

The Americans will continue to offer military cooperation and assistance as needed. Remember that these are agreements. Our government must now improve on what’s available presently:

- ensure proper salaries
- encourage the troops
- ensure that military equipments are always available.
- improve on vigilante with security agencies collaborating with local groups.
- stop reintegrating terrorists into societies. Terrorists never change their ways. They o my understand the language of violence.
- encourage citizens to provide vital information without fear
- FG MUST ensure that herdsmen get themselves ranches and stay on their ranches.

Once security improves, farmers can return to their lands. Agriculture will improve, with rural roads fixed for products to get to the markets and more citizens can find employment.

Those ones dey because the security agencies keeps on lying to them that is not a terriost acts but a herder farmer clashes. They keep arguing on it all the time and Ribadu or whatever his name is keeps on bribing and convincing them that it will be solved by the country's security agencies while it keeps on getting out of hand. US soldiers are also needed somewhere else in the strait of hormuz, they should go there and wait for Iranian missiles and drones.
