Na wah! Christmas day don turn battlefield as United States airstrike strike ISIS for Sokoto, Nigeria. Dem don land bomb on top those wey dey call themselves jihadists, and e don raise serious eyebrows for Naija government wey dey always talk say no be wahala be this.

Nigerian officials don dey yan since say na only ‘bandits’ and ‘criminals’ dey cause trouble for the northeast. But this new airstrike don show say something dey wey dem no fit hide again. Why U.S. go strike ISIS for Sokoto if dem no dey? Na big question wey many people dey ask now.

Omo, e be like say waka wey don pass for the foreign policy matter. Iran chop from the Western powers, but Naija dey run im own show. After the strike, Naija Foreign Ministry still dey talk say na counter-terrorism cooperation, emphasizing say dem attack dey affect all worshippers – Christians and Muslims alike. But U.S. side dey yan different story, say na Christians dem dey target mainly. E be like say we dey watch telemundo drama for real life.

Sokoto State sef dey important, as na corridor wey dey lead to Niger and other Sahel countries wey dey get wahala from jihadists. E mean say if dem dey establish for Sokoto, dem fit carry their wahala come surround the country. This one mean say problem dey show face, but our government dey act like say na national cake dem dey chop.

Naija’s security analysts dey ring alarm say dis new thrust wey ISIS dey come up na cause for concern. Dem don dey relate armed bandits and jihadists as one matter now, like small pikin wey dey play football for the street but dey also carry knife. This combination no go good for anybody.

Omo, even church leaders don dey talk say this airstrike don confirm wetin many people don dey suspect. Say dem no be ordinary bandits, but real terrorists wey dey go after them because of their faith. Na why some human rights activists dey call for U.S. to shift dem attention to the Fulani militias wey dey cause wahala all over Naija.

Judd Saul wey be founder for TruthNigeria, don drop message say until U.S. starts targeting the Fulani Ethnic Militia, life for Christians no go change. E be like say we still dey play hide and seek with reality.

Nigeria government dey try to explain say na struggling combination of terrorism, banditry and communal clashes dey cause this wahala, but the truth be say the matter dey deeper than wetin dem dey talk. Na so we dey see the United States dey act based on them intelligence, rather than wetin Naija government dey yan. Wetin we dey expect from our government now na clear vision and more action.

On top this airstrike saga, we don see power shift for narrative wey dey shackle our security discourse. If Naija no fit accept say ISIS dey operate for their border, wahala go only increase as foreign forces dey bypass dem and dey take action alone. Time don reach to face reality and tackle dis wahala before e turn say we no go fit control am again.
