Omo! Wetin happen for North West Nigeria matter no be small. Dem US airstrikes don shake the ground well well, and the Islamist militants wey dey call themselves Lakurawa don dey run like proverbially as they hear the missiles fall.

This airstrike come after dem community people run come confirm say the militants dey terrorizing dem life for weeks. Dem dey call dis group Lakurawa and na dem dey run camp for Sokoto State, near Niger border. E no easy for locals wey dey there, as fear don catch dem like say dem dey play hide and seek with danger.

The thing be say, US air force come drop bombs for dem camp and the vibrations go reach places wey no suppose dey near. As villagers talk, dem say the ground dey shake like say dem dey dey celebrate wetin no suppose be celebration. Old roofs don fly like say na agbada wey jaga jaga! Dis no be joke oh!

Some farmer wey dey near Nukuru village talk say as the airstrike happen, he see militants dey run for motorbike like say dem be contested for villa marathon. ‘Dem come five people for one bike!’ Na wetin he talk. ‘No body dead, but dem carry baggages wey fit to land dem for some hot soup!’, he add.

But, the matter be say, dem villagers still dey fear say these people fit regroup anytime. No be say dem dey rely on government to save dem, as government presence for the area dey as slim as di palm oil wey wan finish.

Nakuru go enter your eye, na bare 40 mud houses dey there and dem dey manage the land with donkeys as motor transport. Na on top dis same land na dem militants dey charge tax like say dem be local government! E be like say dem don set demself as the Wolf of Wall Street for de area.

Dis Lakurawa boys dey talk Fulfude among dem, but when dem dey talk to locals, na Hausa dem use. Dem go come flex different style of Sharia law like say dem be lawmaker wey get swagger. No music, no fun, or dem go just rain punishment on you! Una fit imagine wetin dey happen for dem wey dey use their phone to listen to music? Dem fit faint!

As dem US airstrike don show face on Christmas night, people dey use am look for dem oppressor. We fit imagine wetin go happen if dem confirm say the airstrikes don finish the Lakurawa. We dey hear say dem don turn to ashes, but villagers go just dey say their prayer and dey cross leg for outside.

Na so far, those wey dey lie low don shout thank you to the US and dem Nigerian soldiers. But, some people don dey talk say dem need to do more. To make sure say these militants no go get time to breathe again!

As the military dey vow to keep pushing and blow these terrorists away, dem civilians dey hope say dem go soon see better days. Amen to that one, make I pour my drink for dem!
