Nigerians serving in the United States Army have expressed readiness and excitement following President Donald Trump’s recent warning of possible military action in Nigeria.
The US president’s comments, made amid reports of attacks on Christians in Africa’s most populous country, have sparked intense discussions online.
Nigerians in US Army Voice Readiness
A viral post on X (formerly Twitter), shared by @Horiyourme, shows the soldier sending a message to @HQNigerianArmy.
In the tweet, he wrote:
“Dear @HQNigerianArmy please tell your boys to pack it up and head to the barracks, POTUS said we’re coming in to show them how to deal with terrorists. We don’t do romance with terrorists, we speak the language they understand.”
... has sparked massive reactions online, especially from Nigerians on the microblogging platform X.
Context: Trump’s Threat
On November 1, 2025, President Trump said he had asked the Pentagon to prepare for “possible fast” military action in Nigeria if the country failed to stop attacks on Christians.
His warning comes amid growing concerns over violent incidents across Nigeria, particularly in the central and northwestern regions, where clashes between herders, farmers, and armed groups have killed hundreds.
AI Video Adds Fuel to Controversy
Earlier, the US Department of War released an AI-generated video simulating a military operation in Nigeria targeting “Islamic terrorists.”
