Is U.S. Military Intervention a Threat or the Wake-Up Call Nigeria Government Desperately Needs?
For more than a decade, Nigeria has been entangled in a web of insecurity; marked by persistent kidnappings, killings, and terror attacks across regions, communities, and religions. Despite repeated campaign promises from democratically elected presidents to end this scourge, the crisis has not only endured but deepened.
From the Northeast to the North Central and beyond, both major religions; Islam and Christianity have suffered devastating losses. Families are displaced, lives are shattered, and trust in governance continues to erode.
On November 2, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans to deploy the U.S. military to Nigeria, citing the Nigerian governmentâs âfailure to protect Christians.â He declared the impending strike would be âfast, and vicious, just like the terrorist thugs attack the cherished Christians.â
The announcement has sparked global debate. While some welcome the move as overdue international support, political analysts warn that U.S. interventions in Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, and Kuwait often left behind chaos, coups, and prolonged instability. Many fear Nigeria could face a similar fate.
As the nation stands at a crossroads, torn between desperation for security and the dangers of foreign intervention, will this be the moment our government finally rises to its duty, or another chapter in the cycle of external control and internal division?
