Nigerian man comments on sensitive issue
While there is no evidence to support the claims about genocide in the country, the Trump administration claimed he had already given a specific order to the Department of War to protect Christians in Nigeria against attacks by extremists.
Amid this, a Nigerian man took to social media to voice his opinion and speak about the issue.
According to a post made available by a user, @de_generalnoni, via a popular social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), he mentioned that it is impossible for Trump to take certain steps unless he gets approval from the President of Nigeria, as he respects sovereignty.
He stated that the army or soldiers of the United States can’t enter Nigeria unless Bola Tinubu approves it.
His statement:
"Let me repeat again, Trump can’t send the U.S. Army to Nigeria except Tinubu asks for support."
As he said this, he explained further, educating many individuals who don’t understand the situation.
He added:
"Nigeria is a sovereign nation; most of you educated illiterates really don’t understand international laws!"

Sending a message to those who believe the United States government could just send soldiers into Nigeria without following due process, he wrote:
"Get yourself educated and stop embarrassing yourself online."
As the post made its way online, concerned individuals stormed the comment section to share their thoughts.

Trump threatens military action in Nigeria
Meanwhile, Legit.ng recently reported that former U.S. President Donald Trump threatened military action in Nigeria following President Bola Tinubu’s response to his allegation that the country had become religiously intolerant. Trump accused Nigeria of allowing the killing of Christians and directed the U.S. Defence Department to prepare for a possible intervention.
However, Tinubu swiftly rejected the claim, emphasizing that Nigeria remains a democratic nation guided by its constitution, which guarantees freedom of religion for all citizens.
