Nigeria Needs to Probe the Sudden Interest and Intent of the West in the So Called Christian Genocide...
Christians have been killed in large numbers in Nigeria for decades - during republican and democratic governments in the U.S. One could call these killings genocide if you evaluate intent and the number of victims... There is a church attack as recent as this week in Kwara State, Nigeria. Nigeria has had serious issues of insecurity for over 15 years now - Boko Haram, banditry, Fulani herdsmen attacks... The West kept quiet so far, just as they have been quiet about the DR Congo crisis, or the Sudan genocide from both sides of the warring parties. Why the interest in Nigeria at this crucial time... I hate conjuring theories or conspiracy... but the motivation of powerful countries is always hard to decipher... They give nothing for free... if they show interest, it means there is something to gain...
The same West that is crying genocide in Nigeria denied there is genocide in Gaza, or refused to stand fully behind Ukraine. They have not lifted a finger to help quench the madness in the Sudan with one of the worst humanitarian crises brewing. It is hard to trust Trump's intent in the Nigerian situation. Nigeria has resisted U.S. military base in the country for a long time. This is an opportunity to force one, and Nigeria will be made to pay for it. Nigeria's economy is showing signs of recovery that threaten some U.S. exports. How are we sure this is not about economic gains for the West?
Nigerians are the only ones who can solve their problems themselves.. No U.S. base is needed, no exchange of rare earth minerals or ceding of any territorial power. If the U.S. wants to help, they can provide intelligence and modern weapons to help Nigeria defeat insecurity. A safe Nigeria is a prosperous Nigeria that mean more economic gains for the West. I hope the pressure from outside will cause the current leadership in Nigeria to get its act together and deal a big blow to insecurity and Christian killings.
