Abuja, Nigeria – Trouble don land as former US President, Donald Trump, don dey threaten military action for Nigeria. Na Saturday, e drop this bomb for Truth Social, calling Nigeria as country wey no dey respect religious freedom, especially for Christians wey dey suffer. According to Trump, the Pentagon don ready to act fast, sharp-sharp if Nigeria no do wetin dem suppose do.
“If we attack, e go be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like how those terrorist thugs dey attack our CHERISHED Christians,” Trump yan. Na dat statement dey cause wahala as e show say di American goment no dey happy with how Nigerian goment dey handle matters wey concern religious violence.
Trump also dey vex say Nigeria na “disgraced country” wey need wake up and take action against di killings. E clear say if US forces enter Nigeria, dem go come in “guns-a-blazing” to “completely wipe out di Islamic Terrorists wey dey cause these horrible atrocities.” (Eh, wahala don dey load!)
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu no take di matter lightly; e don come out to counter say Nigeria no dey intolerant. For him post, e write say di claim no represent wetin dey really happen. Tinubu dey remind dem say di government dey work hard to secure everybody’s religious rights, no matter di faith.
Nigeria dey house over 200 ethnic groups, wey dey practice Christianity, Islam, and traditional religions. So, Tinubu brush aside di wahala wey Trump bring come, talk say Nigeria remain a democracy wey go respect every citizen belief.
As wahala dey unfold, di Nigerian Foreign Ministry don talk say dem go continue to defend all di citizens irrespective of their race, creed, or religion. Dem even go mourn di victims of violent extremism for Instagram, showing say dem dey take di issue serious. (My padi dey wonder if dem fit pour palm wine for all dis tension!)
Na one day after Trump bin fit declare Nigeria as a “Country of Particular Concern,” di NO-Doubt wahala don blow open again. All di wahala go follow di 2021 matter wen Democratic President Joe Biden don remove Nigeria from di US State Department list. Now, Trump don bring di matter back, citing killing of Christians as di main concern.
Reports show say Boko Haram don dey terrorize di northeast for over 15 years, killing tens of thousands and many Muslims don still dey suffer from di violence too. So, no be say na only Christians dey face wahala. Di US military presence for West Africa don decrease, wey dey leave many padi dem for Niger and oda places.
As di back and forth continue, one tins clear, di matter dey grow bigger. Trump dey clutch to any chance to flex im power after im don cede di presidency. Meanwhile, Tinubu dey try maintain peace for di country, even as e dey juggle multiple faiths wey dey need attention. (Na serious game be dis o!)
