U.S.A. Attack in Nigeria: Who Is Affected Now, the Terrorists or the Innocent?

By Muhammad Auwal Albarno

Let me speak in a way that everyone can understand. Nigeria is a Black people’s country, there is nothing like white or Arab ownership here. Our culture is different from that of other parts of the world. Terrorism is not part of our natural culture, it is a new phenomenon introduced by foreign interests for reasons many Nigerians do not fully understand.

When terrorism began its activities in Nigeria, the government lost two major things: peace and money. On the other hand, the Federal Government has been spending huge amounts of money buying weapons to fight supposed enemies, while the same people selling or supplying these weapons are also the ones giving arms to the terrorists. They created a problem we did not understand, supported it, and now they claim they want to help us eliminate what they themselves created.

Some people, like Sheikh Zakzaky in Nigeria, sacrificed their time, freedom, blood, and lives to speak out for the victims in this country. And when I say victims, I mean all Nigerians, because everyone is suffering. Yet, the same foreign powers instructed this weak and useless government to silence him. All of this is an attempt to bury the truth and prevent facts from coming to light.

Let us return to the main topic. When the United States claimed it wanted to help stop what it called “genocide” in Nigeria, Nigerians became divided. Some welcomed the idea, while others, like me strongly opposed it. The reason is simple: the White House has never truly helped any country; instead, it has destroyed many. We have seen what happened in Somalia, Libya, Afghanistan, and most recently Ukraine. Whenever the U.S. decides to intervene in a country, destruction follows. Both Christians and Muslims suffer equally.

Not only that, but when the U.S. spoke about genocide in Nigeria, many people became emotionally blinded. They were happy without understanding what the U.S. truly wanted from Nigeria. Now, we are beginning to see what they really meant by “helping.” They strike from nowhere, kill innocents, and yet the real terrorists survive.

Before we go further, Nigerians must open their minds and think carefully: who are these terrorists, and why do they attack both religions, Muslims and Christians? If there is truly a Christian genocide in Nigeria, then what do we call the bomb explosion at Ngomboru Market in Maiduguri?

Now the question remains: should we continue telling the truth, or should we allow the truth to reveal itself through actions?
