Lady speaks on China's recent involvement
The X user, identified as @ennyola0015, claimed that China's decision to enter the discussion surrounding Nigeria’s tensions with Trump could have bad consequences.
She argued that the move might not be received positively by the American leader, alleging that he's known for his strong reactions to challenges.
In her analysis, she predicted that while open military confrontation was unlikely, some level of economic or diplomatic retaliation could be expected.
She also claimed that Nigeria might become a testing ground for a struggle between American and Chinese interests in Africa.
In her words:
"China’s move to wade into Nigeria’s diplomatic tension with Donald Trump is a double-edged sword. Trump, known for taking such gestures personally, will likely see it as a provocation. While direct military action is improbable, the U.S. establishment would restrain him. Some form of economic or diplomatic pressure is almost certain. In the end, Nigeria could become the testing ground for Trump’s broader “America versus China in Africa” agenda."

Her post appeared shortly after Beijing made its position clear, expressing opposition to any external interference in Nigeria's internal matters.
China reiterated its support for Nigeria and criticised attempts by the United States to pressure the country under the pretext of religious freedom concerns.
The statement came in response to Trump’s recent comments, in which he announced plans to take action against Nigeria following reports of violence against Christians.
Nigeria and China have maintained close ties for years, with the Asian nation funding key infrastructure projects across the country.
The partnership has strengthened through agreements in technology, energy, and security, giving Beijing a huge presence in Nigeria’s economic development.

"Diplomatic pressure is fine. Sheybi na to talk and we nod. Ehn, oya nau. Don't give him base, no access to anything, don't collect his immigrants. In fact, everything he asks, say NO."
Owolabi said:
"Beijing engagement in situations like this is often driven by economic stability intrest protecting investment, ensuring projects continuity and maintaining goodwill in Africa. Even if trump interprete china's moves as a challenge, his admistration would still have to weigh cost."
Oye Bright added:
"Wouldn't it have been better for China to maintain diplomacy rather than resorting to provocation? Currently, Nigeria needs individuals who can facilitate cooperation with the USA to ensure the government takes action against Boko Haram and protects Christian communities."
