NIGERIA FLIPS THE SCRIPT: FROM DENYING CHRISTIAN EXTERMINATION TO COORDINATING STRIKES WITH TRUMP
Some months ago, Nigeria’s government publicly denied that it was facing a serious security crisis.
Then U.S. intelligence identified ISIS planners and attackers openly congregating inside Nigerian territory, forcing swift, coordinated action.
This matters because it exposes the gap between political narratives and security reality.
When terrorist networks are allowed to operate as safe havens, denial does not preserve sovereignty, it erodes it.
For any president, receiving a call that the U.S. intends to strike targets inside their country is politically explosive, but ignoring the threat was no longer an option.
The complete silence from the United Nations is equally revealing, highlighting an institution increasingly absent while conflicts spread and threats metastasize.
Once again, global security was enforced by states willing to act, not by international bodies designed to prevent war but incapable of stopping it.
This episode underscores a hard truth: in today’s world, power still shapes outcomes, statements do not.
