Lagos, Nigeria – E no dey easy for body as President Donald Trump don open mouth talk say him fit take military action against Nigeria. Dis one na serious matter wey fit shake ground. According to Trump, the killings of Christians for Nigeria don reach too much level wey no suppose dey happen for 2025.
For one press conference wey happen aboard Air Force One, Trump talk am clearly: “Dem dey kill Christians for record numbers. We no go allow that to continue.” (E even add say e dey ‘envisage’ different kinds of action, na so dem dey prepare ground for wahala.)
As he dey come back from him vacay for Florida, Trump dey talk say he don ask Pentagon make dem ready dem plan to attack. “We fit send troops or do air strikes, anything wey go make dem stop,” he add. E no dey play o, na serious business Trump dey run for here.
Daniel Bwala, wey be spokesperson for Nigerian President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, respond sharply like arrow when e hear wetin Trump talk. E come yarn say, “Nigeria na partner with America for global fight against terrorism, but we dey expect dem to respect our territory.” (We go still see how this matter go play out.)
