The Digest:

Activist Omoyele Sowore has issued a stark warning against celebrating former U.S. President Donald Trump's threat of a "guns-a-blazing" military intervention in Nigeria, arguing it offers no real salvation for the nation's deep-seated crises.

Key Points:
  • Sowore responded to Trump's social media post threatening Nigeria over Christian killings.
  • The former presidential candidate called the rhetoric perilous, regardless of one's faith.
  • He cited the destabilizing legacy of U.S. interventions in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya.
  • Sowore argued that Trump does not genuinely care about Nigerian Christians or citizens.
  • He stated that foreign military action cannot bring stability or peace to Nigeria.
  • The activist emphasized that Nigeria needs legitimate, accountable leadership, not a foreign savior.
  • He called for an end to the cycles of corruption and violence plaguing the nation.
The critique underscores a critical choice for Nigeria: between the illusion of external rescue and the hard work of building internal integrity and justice. Rooted in the Storm.
