My people, e get beta gist wey don land come from Naija! The US don send small team of soldiers come Nigeria, and this one na the first time dem don talk true say dem dey ground since that airstrike wey dem do for Christmas Day.
Na so General Dagvin R.M. Anderson, wey dey handle U.S. Africa Command, yarn am for press conference. E say U.S. and Naija don gree say dem go need to step up their game to combat the wahala wey dey happen for West Africa.
He talk say this US team go fit help with some skills wey Nigeria dey try to gather. E no talk how many soldiers dey there or wetin dem sabi do, but we sabi say di matter serious as Boko Haram and ISWAP dey give Naija bad paddy paddy.
The Minister of Defense for Nigeria, Christopher Musa, self confirm say team dey work but e no drop details. Na old wahala be dis as Trump don dey vex for Naija after e notice say dem no dey protect Christians from di Islamist militants wey dey disturb everywhere.
Naija government don dey deny say dem dey target Christians, dem talk say wahala dey for both Christians and Muslims. But true, terrorists like Boko Haram don make things very hot, especially for di northwest, wey dem don dey operate for more than 17 years now. E never too late though, as dem don finally see say serious action dey required.
Na wetin happen for Sokoto state wey sabi show di collaboration between di US and Naija as dem strike terrorists together. But question wey dey fly be whether di presence of US troops for Naija go really change anytin, as di whole insurgency don dey complex with many layers. Even though Christians dey suffer, na Muslims too dey receive di sharpshots from di terrorists.
With di US don land, na we go dey watch how dem go fit help Nigeria do beta on top security matter. Many don dey wonder whether dis US presence go bring lasting peace or na just one of di many arrangements wey no go carry weight for long run. We go follow this gist, so make you no worry as we go bring you all di updates wey dey come.
