00:00Barrister Jefferson Nuhairan, a human right lawyer and a political activist has said,
00:06nothing wrong if it takes the intervention of the United States, U.S. President, Donald Trump to end the raging fires of insecurity,
00:14institutional wickedness and terrorism in Nigeria.
00:17The legal practitioner stated this in numbers of posts he published through his personal social media platform
00:23since President Donald Trump announced U.S. intention to launch military action in Nigeria to wipe out terrorists
00:31killing Christians in the West Africa country, saying, if America's saber-rattling, military threat is the dirty water needed
00:39to flush this country clean, or quench the raging fires of institutional wickedness, insecurity, and terrorism, so be it.
00:48According to barrister Jefferson Nuhairan, Dirty Water Day quench fire.
00:53Nobody, yes nobody deserves to die in the hands of terrorists.
00:58If it takes Trump's intervention to wake up disgraceful governments to act swiftly, vigorously, patriotically, and responsibly, so be it.
01:08The primary business of government is the safety and protection of the lives and properties of citizens,
01:13whether Christians, or Muslims.
01:16If America's saber-rattling is the dirty water needed to flush this country clean,
01:21or quench the raging fires of institutional wickedness, insecurity, and terrorism, so be it.
01:28Now government way serious, citizens day loyal for, a country of concern to disgraced country.
01:35How did we get here?
01:37This is the lowest of lows in Nigeria-America relations.
01:41A country we ditched the UK for and adopted its system of government.
01:44Practically everything, this is not really about Trump.
01:48It's more about how we treat crime, punishment, and our bogus criminal justice system.
01:55The government has surrounded itself with fawning nincompoop, and incompetent advisors,
02:00who see national security only through narrow tribal prisms and ritualism,
02:05adept at creating enemies for the government instead of friends.
02:08No attempt at conciliative politics or national unity.
02:13Almost three years, there are no ambassadors to major countries.
02:17Our foreign policy chiefs are torn between transactional politics of financial safe heavens
02:22or alignment with non-aligned low-energy Caribbean countries.
02:26Our domestic policy leans more towards appeasement of fading potentates
02:31rather than the enforcement of nation-building rules.
02:34We can't continue this way.
02:36Either we sit down and talk, or others will do the talking to us.
02:41A collapsed or exploding Nigeria is a threat to global peace
02:45and a humongous humanitarian disaster that must be avoided at all cost.
02:49We are almost at the gate.
02:51Where's the break?
02:52We have reported that Ogun's state-born princess,
02:56Ola Tarira Majeko Dunmianiru has reacted over the description of Nigeria as a
03:01disgraced country, by President Donald Trump of the United States,
03:05U.S., saying,
03:07The greatest contribution the United States and its allies can make at this pivotal moment
03:12is to support the genuine democratic emergence of visionary, credible, and people-centered Nigerian leaders.
03:19Not the preservation of a kleptocratic status quo that has entrenched poverty, division and despair,
03:24calling on the international community for the urgent need to uphold democracy and human dignity amid President Trump's plans
03:32to begin U.S. military actions in Nigeria to end the killing of Christians in Nigeria.
03:38We have also reported that President Donald Trump of the United States of America
03:42has placed U.S. soldiers on red alert for possible war in Nigeria.
03:46According to President Trump, the U.S. Department of War should prepare U.S. troops for possible military action in Nigeria.
03:54If the Nigerian government continued to allow the killing of Christians,
03:58the U.S. troops may very well go into that now disgraced country, guns a-blazing, to completely wipe out
04:06the Islamic terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities.
04:10This, President Trump issued on Saturday evening in line with Greenwich Meridian Time
04:16after President Bola Ahmed Tanubu personally signed a statement rejecting Trump earlier claim on Friday
04:23that Christians are being targeted and killed in Nigeria.
04:27Although President Bola Ahmed Tanubu disagreed with Trump
04:31who had described the high level of insecurity in Nigeria as a religious war by Islamic terrorists against Christians,
04:39but, some Nigerians quickly took to the comments section of President Bola Ahmed Tanubu's post on X social media platform
04:47and pasted a screenshot of a tweet published by President Bola Ahmed Tanubu on January 29, 2014,
04:55wherein, President Bola Ahmed Tanubu apparently had long accepted and agreed
05:00that the insecurity in Nigeria is possibly a religious war against Christians in the West Africa country,
05:07verbatim, in the tweet, Tanubu said,
05:10the slaughtering of Christian worshippers is strongly condemnable,
05:14it calls to question the competence of Jonathan, then President of Nigeria, to protect Nigerians.
05:20This old statement by President Bola Ahmed Tanubu indicated that President Donald Trump of the United States of America
05:27may not be the first person to describe the insecurity in Nigeria as a religious war against Christian communities in the West Africa country.
