The recent reported U.S. airstrikes on terrorist hideouts in Nigeria, described as a cooperative effort between both governments, mark a deeply troubling moment for the country. While any action that disrupts terrorist networks and saves lives may be welcomed by citizens exhausted by years of violence, the circumstances surrounding this intervention raise uncomfortable and necessary questions about Nigeria’s handling of its own security responsibilities.
Protecting its people is the most basic job of any independent nation. For a country with Nigeria’s size, wealth, and influence, relying on foreign military intervention to clean up our own backyard isn’t just a "strategic partnership"; it is an embarrassment. It is a painful reminder that for too long, we have treated a blazing fire like a small spark.
We have spent years dancing around the issue, using soft language for groups that have terrorized families and displaced communities. When we hesitate to call them what they are, “terrorists,” and fail to act with the urgency the crisis demands, we create a vacuum, one that external actors may eventually feel compelled to fill. Recently, the United States filled that vacuum.
Appropriately naming these actors as terrorists is a strategic imperative. Accurate language clarifies the problem, aligns public perception with reality, and signals seriousness of intent. It also lays the groundwork for coherent policy, citizen awareness, international cooperation, and decisive security responses. Most importantly, it affirms to Nigerians that the government understands the scale of their suffering and is prepared to confront it honestly. Early, decisive action could have reduced the scale of the crisis and avoided the need for international military involvement. Stop calling them “Bandits or herdsmen.” It is embarrassing.
There is no shame in cooperating with global allies. But when foreign intervention becomes the much-awaited serious initiator to addressing the problem, it unveils hidden symptoms of deeply troubling times for Nigeria. If the government’s mantra of "Renewed Hope" is to mean anything, it must start here. by @chukskoko
