On his Facebook page, Mustapha Mohammed Gembu asked deep questions as he slammed those celebrating the invasion.

His Facebook post read:

"For those obsessed with America’s so-called protection of Christians in Nigeria, many will never accept the truth because their minds are clouded by hatred. When we point out that America cannot even protect its own Christian citizens from gun violence on its streets, how then can it guarantee the protection of Christians in Nigeria? We are instead labeled and called names, accused of being sympathizers of bandits.
"Meanwhile, Nigerians are yet to see evidence of the alleged ISIS terrorists said to have been killed by Donald Trump’s “powerful and devastating” attacks in Sokoto. At the same time, over 160 Christian Americans have been confirmed dead due to gun violence in the United States. Do you truly believe America would prioritize your protection over that of its own citizens?
"To those who idolize America, consider this: visa bans are now being placed on Nigerians, including Christians, and Africans are being deported daily under your so-called “messiah,” President Trump. Do you really think you are anything more than tools of manipulation in America’s hands?

"Has it occurred to you that constantly reporting what you call Christian genocide in Nigeria has given America an opportunity to exploit Nigeria through our collective weakness—religious intolerance? Do not forget that American-made bombs are being used by Israel in killing Christians in Palestine. Do you believe you are more important to America than Christians in Palestine, the birthplace of Jesus?
"America is also funding the Ukraine-Russia war, costing the lives of both Ukrainian and Russian Christians, yet you applaud and pray for Donald Trump to come to your rescue over what you call Christian genocide in Nigeria. Between Black people and White people, who do you think America would choose first?
"Venezuela, a country that is over 90 percent Christian, is currently surrounded by American soldiers, bombs, bullets, and missiles—yet you still believe America is here to guarantee your safety. Trump claimed to have launched devastating attacks against ISIS terrorists, but no proof has been shown. Many celebrate simply because they believe the targets are Hausa-Fulani Muslims. Do you think American bombs and missiles can distinguish between Christians and Muslims?
"Do you believe such strikes would spare the Igbo, Yoruba, Tiv, Berom, or others? Are American weapons anti-Fulani, anti-Hausa, or anti-Muslim, or are they simply weapons of destruction? Perhaps it is time for serious reflection rather than blind celebration on social media."
