Trump, wey be US president, don write Tinubu, di president of Nigeria, and di letter full of yabis. Na so Trump yab Tinubu for im ‘kwazon jagoranci’ for di war against terror and for how im dey handle di security mata for Nigeria.
Di letter from di office of Donald J. Trump start by thanking Tinubu for di welcome letter wey im send. Trump talk say, ‘I yab your determination to solve di problems wey dey plague your country, especially di attacks wey dey affect Christian communities.’ Na so im tok.
Trump also talk say di relationship between US and Nigeria dey important for dis time wey trouble dey spread for West Africa and for di world. Im talk about di 2026 security alliance between di two countries, wey im say don provide better way to fight terror.
Trump mention say im don send US Special Operations Forces to train Nigerian troops and to help with intelligence gathering. Im say dem dey among di best soldiers for di world.
Di letter make plenty Nigerians think. Some say na Tinubu get di upper hand for dis matter. Dr Kabiru Adamu, wey be security analyst for Sahel region, talk say, ‘I think di Nigerian government gain more from dis alliance. E help to improve relationship between di two governments.’
Dr Audu Bulama Bukarti, another security expert, agree say Tinubu dey benefit. Im say, ‘First, some people try to damage Tinubu’s relationship with Trump, but instead, Tinubu use di chance to make di relationship better, up to di point wey Trump dey yab am now.’
But di analysts also point out say Trump get im own gain. Dr Adamu explain say US get three main goals for any security deal: make dia troops no stay long, get economic benefit from Nigeria’s minerals, and address di Christian killing issue. Dem say di first two goals don achieve, but di third one still dey problem, because attacks still dey happen for Plateau, Benue, and Taraba, wey be Christian-majority areas.
Dr Bukarti add say even though di alliance don start to help, e still need more support to solve di problem completely.
Di letter don cause many people to ask who really win between Trump and Tinubu. But one thing clear: Tinubu don get international recognition for im efforts, and di security cooperation continue to be strong.
