Chai! My people, wahala don dey as U.S. military carry their Tomahawk missiles land for Nigeria to target Islamic State camps for Sokoto State. Dem don come out with reports say these strikes na to secure the area and save America from wahala wey dey come from the wahala group, ISSP and their sidekick, Lakurawa.

President Trump yan say di airstrike na to pummel ISIS militants wey dey cause palava for Nigeria. But no be only Christians wahala dem dey cause; jihadists dey go after everybody wey no gree follow their wahala. It fit shock you say some of our Nigerian oga dem dey argue sey di wahala no be only about Christians, because di terrorists don carry their badness reach everywhere.

But wetin dey follow dis airstrike wahala? Quick summary: ISSP get between 2,000 to 3,000 fighters wey don spread reach many parts for West Africa, while the new Lakurawa group dey gather their own troops with about 200 fighters. E be like say dem don use U.S. attacks as storyline to rally dem supporters back home.

But no worry, no be say U.S. dey try stop dem fully. Even if Trump talk sey di attack go protect American citizens, dem never really show how unbalance di wahala dey for Nigeria as farmers and herders still dey fight over land, plus bandits wey dey rob everywhere. Na wah! No be only Christians dey die; Muslims dey catch fire too.

Reports show say di Salafi-jihadists don kill Muslim wey no gree follow dem radical wahala. Na di same time, gunmen don kill plenty people, including students and teachers for schools wey dey targeted.

As e be now, US military fits do more airstrikes…but how dem wan achieve am? Secretary of Defense don already give hint say more strikes dey come, maybe dem dey prepare for extensive action against terrorist groups for Nigeria. But e go still take plenty time to see if dem fit reduce di wahala wey dey affect education and life for di northern part of di country.

Even if dem drop bomb well-well, e go take long to root out di wahala wey dey scatter finish, because di people wey dey behind all dis no go just sit down dey watch. Wetin dey sure na say security go continue dey shakey if di ground issues like farmer-herder conflicts no dey address.

Overall, my people, e go hard to see immediate change because dis na just small cut in a very large problem. If dem no fit put structure, governance, and enough support for di people, e go just dey increase wahala for everybody.

So we dey turn our gaze to Nigeria and di international community wey dey look as di wahala unfold. We go dey here dey watch how dis new wave of military action go change di narrative or if dem go just add more pepper to di soup.
