Trump threatens military action against Nigeria over killings of Christians
The Daily Mail ^ | 01 Nov 2025 | MELISSA KOENIG

Donald Trump has threatened military action against Nigeria if the government continues to allow terrorists to kill Christians.

The African country is being roiled by internal violence, including a jihadist insurgency spearheaded by extremist group Boko Haram in the northeast since 2009.

Amid the various forms of bloodletting around the country - including ethnic rivalry and banditry - the Islamist militants have been slaughtering Christians as well as Muslims they regard as 'apostates' for failing to comport with their brand of Islam.

There has also been a separate onslaught by Fulani Muslim tribesmen against mainly Christian farming communities, a protracted crisis linked to a tangle of issues like religion, ethnicity and a scramble over the dwindling supply of arable land.

Trump has already designated Nigeria a 'country of particular concern,' but he took his condemnation of the situation in the country even further on Saturday, warning that the United States may strike Nigeria if the horrendous murders continue.

'If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the USA will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria and may very well go into that now-disgraced country "guns-a-blazing" to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities,' he wrote on X.

'I am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action,' the president declared, noting that any attack would be 'fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians.'

One thing to notice,
most this problem occurs because the
general population was disarmed,
and the criminals were very well armed.

Sounds like what Democrats want
in the USA.
Never ever give away any second
amendment rights!

Is Mike Obama still holding that #BringOurGirlsHome!! whiteboard? She seemed very proud of her bold efforts a few years back.

We need to start calling them “regressives,” as the bulk are vassals of NGOs to rule over serfdom.

All he has to do is threaten. His actions around the world would back him up. Ask Iran. He’s always given everyone fair warning.

Yes sir.

The killing of innocent Christians in Nigeria — and anywhere — must end immediately. The Department of War is preparing for action. Either the Nigerian Government protects Christians, or we will kill the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities. pic.twitter.com/C0v9RHGoS1— Pete Hegseth (@PeteHegseth) November 1, 2025

Yes, and it’s not just Nigeria.
Muslim savages are committing genocide in the most evil of ways in Africa.
They aim to take over everywhere including here.
Trump and Netanyahu are the only ones fighting back.
A bunch of people were stabbed in the UK by multiple perps this evening on a subway train.

I hope we can put this off until later next week. I’m expecting a huge deposit in my bank account on Monday from their Prince!

President Obama supported the Muslim candidate over the incumbent Christian candidate, Goodluck Jonathan. Jonathan was the first Nigerian President to transfer power after an election. Jonathan opposed same sex marriage.

None of the people in my tagline have ever commented on the actual genocides by muslims against Christians in Nigeria or Sudan.

To their ever lasting shame.

No Jews, No News!

Maybe they did once and I missed it.
