Barrista Jefferson Muhayeran, a human
0:02
right lawyer and a political activist
0:05
has said nothing wrong if it takes the
0:07
intervention of the United States US
0:10
President Donald Trump to end the raging
0:12
fires of insecurity, institutional
0:15
wickedness and terrorism in Nigeria. The
0:17
legal practitioner stated this in
0:19
numbers of posts he published through
0:21
his personal social media platform since
0:24
President Donald Trump announced US
0:26
intention to launch military action in
0:29
Nigeria to wipe out terrorists killing
0:32
Christians in the West Africa country
0:34
saying if America's saber rattling
0:37
military threat is the dirty water
0:39
needed to flush this country clean or
0:41
quench the raging fires of institutional
0:44
wickedness, insecurity and terrorism. So
0:47
be it. According to barrista Jefferson
0:50
Wuhayan, dirty water day quench fire.
0:53
Nobody, yes, nobody deserves to die in
0:56
the hands of terrorists. If it takes
0:59
Trump's intervention to wake up
1:00
disgraceful governments to act swiftly,
1:03
vigorously, patriotically, and
1:05
responsibly, so be it. The primary
1:08
business of government is the safety and
1:10
protection of the lives and properties
1:12
of citizens, whether Christians or
1:15
Muslims. If America's saber rattling is
1:18
the dirty water needed to flush this
1:20
country clean or quench the raging fires
1:22
of institutional wickedness, insecurity
1:25
and terrorism, so be it. Now government
1:29
way serious citizens day loyal for a
1:32
country of concern to disgraced country.
1:35
How did we get here? This is the lowest
1:37
of lows in Nigeria America relations. A
1:41
country we ditched the UK for and
1:43
adopted its system of government.
1:45
practically everything. This is not
1:47
really about Trump. It's more about how
1:50
we treat crime, punishment, and our
1:52
bogus criminal justice system. The
1:55
government has surrounded itself with
1:57
forning ninkham poop and incompetent
1:59
advisers who see national security only
2:02
through narrow tribal prisms and
2:04
ritualism, adept at creating enemies for
2:06
the government instead of friends. No
2:09
attempt at consiliative politics or
2:11
national unity. Almost 3 years. There
2:14
are no ambassadors to major countries.
2:17
Our foreign policy chiefs are torn
2:19
between transactional politics of
2:21
financial safe heavens or alignment with
2:23
non-aligned low energy Caribbean
2:25
countries. Our domestic policy leans
2:28
more towards appeasement of fading
2:30
potentates rather than the enforcement
2:32
of nation building rules. We can't
2:35
continue this way. Either we sit down
2:37
and talk or others will do the talking
2:40
to us. A collapsed or exploding Nigeria
2:43
is a threat to global peace and a
2:45
humongous humanitarian disaster that
2:47
must be avoided at all cost. We are
2:50
almost at the gate. Where's the break?
2:52
We had reported that Ogan stateborn
2:55
princess Olira Majo Dunanu has reacted
2:58
over the description of Nigeria as a
3:01
disgraced country by President Donald
3:04
Trump of the United States US saying the
3:07
greatest contribution the United States
3:09
and its allies can make at this pivotal
3:12
moment is to support the genuine
3:13
democratic emergence of visionary,
3:16
credible and people centered Nigerian
3:18
leaders, not the preservation of a
3:20
kleptocratic status quo that has
3:22
entrenched poverty, division, and
3:24
despair, calling on the international
3:26
community for the urgent need to uphold
3:28
democracy and human dignity amid
3:30
President Trump's plans to begin US
3:33
military actions in Nigeria to end the
3:35
killing of Christians in Nigeria. We had
3:38
also reported that President Donald
3:40
Trump of the United States of America
3:42
has placed US soldiers on red alert for
3:45
possible war in Nigeria. According to
3:48
President Trump, the US Department of
3:50
War should prepare US troops for
3:52
possible military action in Nigeria. If
3:55
the Nigerian government continued to
3:57
allow the killing of Christians, the US
3:59
troops may very well go into that now
4:02
disgraced country, guns a blazing, to
4:05
completely wipe out the Islamic
4:07
terrorists who are committing these
4:09
horrible atrocities. This President
4:12
Trump issued on Saturday evening in line
4:14
with Greenwich Meridian Time after
4:16
President Bola Ahmed Tonubu personally
4:19
signed a statement rejecting Trump
4:21
earlier claim on Friday that Christians
4:24
are being targeted and killed in
4:26
Nigeria. Although President Bola Ahmed
4:29
Tonubu disagreed with Trump who had
4:31
described the high level of insecurity
4:33
in Nigeria as a religious war by Islamic
4:37
terrorists against Christians. But some
4:40
Nigerians quickly took to the comments
4:42
section of President Bola Ahmed Tonubu
4:44
post on ex social media platform and
4:47
pasted a screenshot of a tweet published
4:49
by President Bola Ahmed Tonubu on
4:52
January 29th, 2014 wherein President
4:56
Bola Ahmed Tonubu apparently had long
4:59
accepted and agreed that the insecurity
5:01
in Nigeria is possibly a religious war
5:04
against Christians in the West Africa
5:07
country. verbatim. In the tweet, Tonubu
5:10
said, "The slaughtering of Christian
5:12
worshippers is strongly condemnable. It
5:14
calls to question the competence of
5:16
Jonathan, then president of Nigeria to
5:19
protect Nigerians." This old statement
5:21
by President Bola Ahmed Tonubu indicated
5:24
that President Donald Trump of the
5:26
United States of America may not be the
5:28
first person to describe the insecurity
5:30
in Nigeria as a religious war against
5:33
Christian communities in the West Africa
